Jefferson County Vision today filed suit in circuit court challenging Rockwool’s PILOT agreement with local government. The #Rockwool PILOT is an unfair and unlawful tax avoidance scheme that is forbidden by the West Virginia Constitution.
For hazardous Fine Inhalable Particulate Matter, PM 2.5, #Rockwool is permitted to emit 133 tons/year in #WestVirignia. Residents here do not want this pollution.
@FlossieFortuna @ROCKWOOLInt @MirellaAmalia@cmoinspired "A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that long-term exposure to PM2.5 may lead to plaque deposits in arteries, causing vascular inflammation and a hardening of the arteries" @CCARRanson#rockwool#YouthNCDs#wef https://t.co/1nkNHBPGoF …
Protestors of both the Mountaineer Gas pipeline in the Eastern Panhandle and Rockwool are at @ShepherdU tonight for the PSC public comment period. They chant, “No pipeline, no Rockwool!”
FOIA Request Reveal Air Permit Violations at Byhalia Facility
#Rockwool tried to placate #JeffersonCountWV residents claiming they’ve never had violations for air permits ‘that exist’ & maintain strict standards at Byhalia plant, results show otherwise.

Elementary schools shouldn’t need air monitoring stations because a factory is going in nearby. These children should have been protected by proper planning. #ToxicRockwool
