Dear Kathleen Lusky-
 
I was told to contact you following attempted assistance through Daniel Carver who is out on leave. I found him as a point of contact, off the EPA website. It stated that there was private funded programs to allow citizens to utilize particulate matter testing for their area. I am requesting support to do this and requesting the EPA test the Meadowcreek high school property and adjacent neighborhoods in Norcross, Georgia. The site sits adjacent to the extremely large Vulcan quarry that has over 85 violations in multiple states across the country for high Particulate Matter output from Quarry operations. These operations can add to asthma and cancer levels and should immediately be tested on the Meadowcreek High School property. The Vulcan property has been only feet from Meadowcreek for almost 30 years and as far as I know,  has NEVER been tested for particulate matter levels in the air or pollution levels in the water that passes underneath the quarry and dumps into a small residential lake, while multiple athletic fields only feet from the site expose young athletes to potentially cancer causing high particulate matter only feet from Vulcan property. There are two High Schools one public, Meadowcreek HS, one private, Atlanta Christian, within one mile of the massive quarry. Can the EPA finally air quality test in this area for a 12 month period? How can a citizen request this Federal agency to finally test the silica level in the water directly across the street in the water downstream of this area? Too long this  location and placement of this high school has been unaddressed and its potential danger to student athletes and resident in the low income area? Please Advise.
