Stop Titan from Destroying 1000 Acres of Wetlands and Wildlife Habitat Along the Cape Fear

A proposed coal-power cement plant is threatening 1000 acres of wetlands along the Cape Fear River. North Carolina's wetlands not only provide vital wildlife habitats, but are nature's way of reducing and preventing the risk of floods along a river's banks. The proposed cement plant would not only destroy a large portion of this natural flood buffer, but would spew the neurotoxin mercury and other polluntants into the surrounding air and water.

If you would like to take action to delay the construction of this plant while a thorough environmental impact study is completed, please click here to email your state senator through the North Carolina Conservation Network's website.

Senate Bill 699 calls for an 18-month moratorium on the construction of cement plants. This gives time for environmental studies to be conducted and reviewed without the eminent threat of the destruction of our wetlands.

StopTitan.org put together a trip for people from the area to participate in the North Carolina Conservation Network's Clean Water Lobby Day.
