Blasting in Lipscomb Causing Many Problems For Residents

LaFarge Aggregates Southeast, Inc. was one of the many blasting companies that had a civil suit filed against them on Dec. 23, 2008. LaFarge has caused health problems among the residents that live in Limpscomb. These include: asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, pulmonary problems, upper respiratory conditions and COPD. Health is not the only issue that is a problem for these residents. Dust has collected in their yards which prevents residents from sitting on their porches or children playing outside. LaFarge was contacted but did not want to comment.
