Roper Construction
My property is less than 1 mile from the Proposed Roper Construction Batch Plant.
I have been a resident of Lincoln for greater than 30 years.
I have diagnosed COPD Chronic Obstructive Plumonary Disease.
As an educated, degreed physician, I am uniquely knowledgeable of the documented medical treatise that state "Crystalline Silica" causes both irreparable damage to the lungs and lung CANCER. Evidenced by this article by the National Institutes of Health, https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov › ntp › roc › content › profiles › silica.pdf
This article calls crystalline a carcinogen and/or causes respiratory destruction, COPD, emphesema, etc.
The proposal to spray water, night and day to settle the silica is beyond ludicrous. It will not work. If the wind blows (which is does daily with gusts to 70-80 mph) the water spray is a waste of good irreplaceable water.
And speaking of water (my property has a well for drinking water), Spraying water into the air does nothing but further deplete the water table and washes all the silica into the air and ground water table.
The Silica will coat the plants, poison the wildlife, poison the people, poison the air and poison the water table. AND, what about the jobs and people that will work there. Who is to care for them 5- 10-20 years down the road.
This entire proposal by Roper Construction is wrong for all the reasons: ruins the air and ruins the water and destroys the lives of people.
