Why TDK construction will harm Line Creek

In the 1990's, Line Creek was classified by the State of Georgia as an impaired waterbody, polluted for "total toxicity." A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study was later completed for low dissolved oxygen (e.g., oxygen levels were too low to support fish and aquatic habitat). How can PTC building a highway to Coweta County (that will allow for 5000 homes per 1000 acres) help restore Line Creek? Have the PTC leaders considered the negative environmental impacts that they are making possible? The ensuing complete and total urbanization of eastern Coweta will only lead to a diminishing water quality in Line Creek. Silt and sediment will pour into the stream when the hundreds of bulldozers crank up, and the ineffective silt fences will be run down the first week.

Blogger Save Our City is assuming the PTC mayor and council cares about our future, big mistake.
