Environmental regs should be no stricter now than they were in the 40's/50's.
I have no problem with any environmental regs as long as they follow the above caveat.

The plant takes aluminum ingot, melts it and cast it into sheets, then runs it through the mills to varying thicknesses from 1/8" down to less than half a BCH (JeffyJeep knows that measurement). We get a lot of orders for fin stock to make radiators and air conditioners, and of course, foil down as thin as the stuff on Wrigley's chewing gum. Remember peeling the aluminum off the wax paper?


Is it the ALCOA plant down south of the Knoxville (TYS) airport?

So randomly dumping and/or burning toxic chemicals in an open field is OK?

If you own the property, you should be able to do as you PLEEZ with it.

If I do something on my property that pollutes the groundwater and ruins your well, is that OK?

Thank God for some of the environmental Laws ! DuPont and 3M and others Contaminated ground water for 1000s of square miles ( not just their own Property) In Michigan and New Jersey, with PFAS Forever Chemicals. And that answers it, it was drinking all that Water full of PBB's . I would not drink any Municipal or ground water in Michigan PERIOD !

We buy some of our aluminum ingot from Alcoa, but I'm not sure if any comes from there.

My plant is in West TN. It was originally called RJR Archer, owned by Reynolds Tobacco along with their first plant in NC, and eventually two more MO, and AR. They were sold to a Canadian company, Noranda Mines, which renamed our plant Norandal. They also owned half of a bauxite mine in Jamaica (Jamaica owned the other half) and a smelting plant in LA. A few years ago a Swedish company, Granges, bought all the Noranda Mines stuff relating to aluminum when Noranda went bankrupt.
