Flat Creek
Public hearing set for concrete plant permit
By Matt Tate The Western North Carolina
Regional Air Quality Agency has set a public hearing for May 26 at North Buncombe High School to field comments and questions in regards to an air quality permit Blue Ridge Con- crete seeks to obtain to begin construction and concrete mix- ing at a proposed plant in the Flat Creek area. The plant has received all the
other necessary permits to be- gin constructing at the corner of Murphy Hill Road and Old Mars Hill Highway. Permits were initially denied by the Buncombe County Board of Adjustments in May 2008, but following a N.C. Court of Ap- peals decision to overturn the zoning policy in place during the hearing, a Buncombe Coun- ty Superior Court judge ordered the county to grant the building permits last October. Grading and preliminary
construction has already be- gun at the site. The air quality permit is the last hurdle for the

plant to begin mixing concrete. The permit has been written to allow operation of a ready mix concrete batching process with a maximum rated capacity of 60 cubic yards per hour, according to the WNCRAQA Web site. The North Buncombe Associ-
ation of Concerned Citizens has been the most outspoken group against the concrete plant. The WNCRAQA set a public
hearing to field the comments and questions from all interest- ed parties. The open comment period is now open for those who may not be available for the May 26 hearing and would like to submit a comment or question for consideration. All comments submitted before or on the date of the public hear- ing will be considered by the WNCRAQA. Written comments should be
mailed to the Western North Carolina Regional Air Qual- ity Agency, 49 Mount Carmel Road, Asheville, NC 28806, or emailed to Ashley Feather- stone at ashley.featherstone@
buncombecounty.org The draft permit, permit ap-
plication, emissions calcula- tions, and all other materials available to the WNCRAQA that are relevant to the permit decision are available for public review at the WNCRAQA of- fices. Materials are available for review during the hours of 8:30 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
