No Canadian Based Solar Manufacturing Plant in Fort Mill

Do not build

TIRED OF BEING POISONED

Please move this! It is not a safe site. I am absolutely mind blown in the fact that Silfab has now been issued a permit to continue their work! Tell me, how did we get a unanimous vote against issuing them a permit then the following Tuesday they have a permit in hand?! You have received 1000s of email against this, and you heard 100s of concerned citizens, including children, given information on the hazardous materials that this plant is expected to use, and they still get a permit. This will not stand! The community is already rallying together to stop Silfab. News outlets have already been called and plan on running more stories on how York County is betraying its citizens. I understand money talks when it comes to politics, but a community rallied together is unstoppable! The community deserves an explanation on your betrayal of your word! We are waiting! Just incase you forgot what this company plans on using at this location: Toluene: Classified as a DHEC Category 3 pollutant, Toluene is the most dangerous category of all. Its chronic effects can result in death or permanent injury after very short exposure to small amounts. The plant plans to use 132 gallons per year of Toluene, with an undisclosed amount stored on-site. Hydrogen Fluoride (HF): This highly poisonous gas is fatal when inhaled, swallowed, or even when it encounters the skin. It is also a DHEC Category 3 pollutant. The proposed plant will have two 7,925-gallon tanks of HF, refilled weekly. The Fire Department mandates a ½ mile evacuation radius. Even if Silfab’s estimates are correct and HF is released at 88% of the concentration limit, the risk remains unacceptably high. Silane: A highly flammable, toxic gas with a sharp pungent smell, Silane is stored on-site in a 22,983-gallon tank (with an unknown total use). It is so explosive that it “may explode when exposed to air.” The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. In the event of an accident, the evacuation zone wou

This has no reason to be in our community! It could be a disaster and so dangerous for the residents, the CHILDREN living here!

Please please do not allow this to be built in Fort Mill, SC

I am against this

This manufacturing plant poses a serious health risk to the surrounding communities and cannot be allowed to move forwards with approval. The likelihood for hazardous waste polluting the local water and air is not worth acceptable! Please listen to your citizens and deny this!

we do not want this near our schools

Please do not place this in a mostly residential community in an area that was not intended to be zoned for this type of industry. It is customary to locate this type of manufacturing in more remote areas. Listen to the community!

This is a big health hazard to all of these people in the area.

We do NOT WANT this plant!! Especially near our most vulnerable - our children and our elderly. Move it elsewhere!

Nope!

This development is outside of scope allocated for this area. And would take away from the overall quality of life.

Absolutely not! So unsafe for our environment and right next to kids.

Dear Zoning Board of Appeals Member, Silfab is definitely not light industrial when they have toxic air pollution and toxic water waste that has the potential to kill or permanently injure people, animals, and our environment. They need to be relocated to a heavy industrial area where it's not next to two schools, with 2500 students, neighborhoods and businesses. It’s just not right for our community!

A travesty!!!!

This is where we are going to retire… please NO!

STOP THIS PLAN!!!!

No toxic plant!
