On January 7, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division held a
public meeting and public hearing at the Perry High School Auditorium on
Medusa Cement Company's plan to use waste fuel technology at its
Clinchfield plant.
Despite torrential rains, the majority of the auditorium's 800 seats were
filled. And by even the most conservative of estimates, those supporting
Medusa outnumbered those opposed by at least 6 to 1.
Much of that support came from our own Medusa employees and their
families. These are the people who would work in close proximity to our
proposed waste fuel operation every day. Obviously, they're confident that
Medusa will safeguard their health and well-being when installing this
technology.
In addition to our employees, support for our waste fuel proposal came
from other sources:
• Medusa employees presented petitions favoring our plan PhMrlt/l hp
signed by 2,390 area residents. A • 7) /
fwe/iucw Uum
• The Perry Chamber of Commerce, Warner Robins OwUp&urf&L
Chamber of Commerce and WRING read resolutions of-
-for Medusa's waste fuel plan into the record.
• A noted area environmentalist and college professor
delivered a ringing endorsement of Medusa's plan,
while chastising opponents for using ''fear tactics" and ®
"pseudo-science" to back up their position. umt

Medusa is grateful to everyone who supported us that night. We're glad
we could show the EPD that Houston County is behind this project because
they know it is safe, economically necessary and environmentally benefi
cial. And as always, we stand ready to answer any and all questions the
community may have about our waste fuel proposal.
