Indian Land, SC - Welcome to the Madness!!

Here is an example of Lancaster County, SC government doing its best. They allowed four batch concrete plants to open in a "Light" Industrial park. Sandwiched in between Residential on 3 sides. My neighborhood was here long before the first concrete plant or even the light industrial park. What a nightmare. There is a school complex less than 1/2 mile away. Fly Ash dust gets all over everything and clogs the air filters. The noise is like standing on the tarmac at ATL. The night glare is as if an A-bomb was being tested. The homes shake like an LA earthquake. The government is straight out of the Dukes Of Hazzard. I've met Enus and Rosco, just not Boss Hog.

Yeah I live about 3 minutes away from this place. My friend lives right next door to the place and I commented on how he lives in Chernobyl. It's pretty bad stuff.

Well I'm all in favor of the concrete plants moving to New Jersey. However, the owners of Blue Dot are locally grown bastards Scott and Tony Griffin of Griffin Brothers. The owners of Concrete Supply are also NC natives. The owners of CEMEX are from Mexico. Damnation or an eternity in New Jersey, each are applicable punishments for their crimes.

you yankee bastards you moved here. now take your golfcarts and uptight kike attitudes out of our state and back to your slum you call New Jersey.

Besides, this is not grade school; where the first group to the ball field gets to set the rules. This is real life with real investments and real laws on the books. Despite any group's date of existence, zoning laws exist that do not allow for this type of influence from one property to the other.

Macleod construction existed begining in 2001. It was the first and only concrete plant here until 2006. When Brookchase was developed in 2005, Macleod only had 1/5 its current size. Now there are 4 concrete plants and Macleod is 5 times as large and changed ownership to Thomas. The Lakeview Landing development was built in 1995, long before the first concrete plant was allowed into this "Light" Industrial Park. At that time, (1995) the plant's "Light" Industrial area was zoned agricultural.

But wasnt the concrete plant there before the homes were even built in Brook Chase?????

[tonto29707]

SCDHEC found it and so did members of the Lancaster County council. You can find it in each of their reports. SCDHEC forced new operating procedures upon the concrete plants due to the fly ash on homes. These reports are public and can be obtained by request to either group. However, you may need to issue a freedom of information request to prey it out of their hands.

that ash fall stuff is bull, though, because i live there and i've never seen it.
