Complaint was received via email on July 27, 2020 from Megan Arias with US EPA Region 4:

"Every time a ship dock at East Coast Terminal to off load concrete our cars are coated with dust. This dust ,being on our cars, is safe to say inhaled by all the workers at Crescent towing and Moran Towing. These two businesses are next to each other. Since the first arrival of this ship with this cargo, we have had our cars cleaned by our employers. The bill for this is in the thousands each occurrence. I have pictures of the dust on my car. I have pictures of the dust on the cars in the parking lot. All of these pictures are time , date ,and location stamped. The human factor issue is , what is the long term exposure to this dust? The answer is Silicosis. This is a lung disease. Please respond to me on this matter. My new vehicle being covered is a concern. My health is another matter as well. This is a text book example of environmental pollution. I read it on you website. Lynn Skelton."
