The Asphalt Files

asphalt1In an effort to share information about the current Asphalt Plant issue we offer the listed materials. There are questions asked. There are Industrial Papers in support of the Asphalt business. There are documents from Health and Environment research addressing standards and safety issues. There is material and connections from other communities that both successfully and unsuccessfully kept an asphalt plant from being built. There are local documents and information that hs appeared in Hoopa about the Tide Water Asphalt Plant. We hope this information helps the community to better understand what is being presented and be confident that an informed decision is made.
