Why this is Bad for Anderson and Madison County
Malarkey Roofing Products plans to build a rubberized asphalt shingle plant on 157 rural acres just south of Menards and east of Sugar Fork Crossing assisted living facility. This company will:
•Be permitted to release many tons of harmful emissions per year that negatively impact the environment and health.
• Risk water pollution: Sugar Fork Creek, Fall Creek, and neighboring wells
• Bring 100 semis per day and increased rail traffic to the already busy I69 Exit 226, 109 Bypass, 67th Street, and Columbus Avenue
• Close 100 East from Menards to just beyond the railroad tracks
• Destroy Anderson’s vision of Exit 226 as a welcoming Gateway focused on hotels, restaurants, retail, and entertainment options.
Concerns About Malarkey
• Received a record-breaking penalty in Oregon for air quality violations over a decade
• Its Swiss parent company, Holcim, has 887 records of regulatory violations totaling $1,094,502,721 since 2000.
• Malarkey California employees filed a class action suit against the company
• TOXIC EMISSIONS. POTENTIAL WATER POLLUTION. TRAFFIC HEADACHES. LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Why would we want this Malarkey for only “UP TO” 200 jobs, most of which
have below-average wages.
