This seems like a potential minor win. Write LDEQ and request a public hearing --for Atlantic Alumina ---this is the "Red Dust" plant by the Gramacery -Wallace Bridge; it also emits mercury.

We need a number of people to request a public hearing and an extended comment period.

Here is the email I sent, which was provided by others. Please copy and send it in by June 4. Include AI, activity and permit number in subject line.
