Environmental Impact Statement
Influx of big industry into our residential community will affect the land negatively and irreversibly. Residents will never be able to coexist again with land and nature in the same symbiosis.
As the bulldozers scrape away the land and all the natural elements that stand in their way, gone will be the residential sounds and sights Nancy Creek residents have come to identify with home. The invasion of this project as proposed by Georgia Power will surely mean contamination for the land, water, air, and ears, as well as eyes. A substation will be a blight upon an otherwise strictly green and residential landscape.
The proposed substation’s drawbacks include an unspecified amount of background ear pollution and traffic congestion during the substation’s construction and thereafter. Georgia Power can offer no guarantees or promises about the long-term detrimental effects to the land. There is no way to gauge what will be the environmental impact on the plants and animals that once used the one-acre proposed site as a natural, wooded habitat. |
