SODDY-DAISY, Tenn. (WDEF)- There is a significant amount of opposition to a proposed asphalt mixing plant in Soddy-Daisy.

This plant would be located on Thrasher Pike near its Highway 27 interchange.

Numerous residents, organizations such as Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful and North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy, and the Ivy Academy all say they have various concerns about the property.

Those concerns range from noise pollution to the impact on the North Chickamauga Creek.

They say they only learned of the project recently through a legal notice advertising a meeting.

Jim Stewart of Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful said, “ There’s potential for significant air pollution, noise pollution, light pollution if the facility is operating during the evening, or early morning hours.”
