161 jobs right now is not worth the permanent and hazardous effects Titan current proposed waste would do to our rivers, farmland, and animals. Every year more and more of our natural and locally grown or harvested food is put on the no eat list here. Titan will only speed up the process. If titan had a secondary plant that would eliminate the high amounts of hazardous waste the cement plant would create I don't think people would take as much issue. Especially if the waste of the secondary plant produced something that wasn't harmful to our ecosystem. Besides it would also create 2x as many jobs and be more lucrative all the way around.
The EPA has better things to do then play games with Titan. To say that this is about control as opposed to responsibility then you are blind.
Mercury is the issue not control
