The Maryland Department of the Environment will be holding a public hearing next month to hear comments on a proposed construction and demolition recycling facility in Beltsville, Md.
The company, Cherokee of Maryland Inc., presently has a retail operation on the site. According to a local press report the company formerly made bricks at the location. Cherokee's parent company is headquartered in North Carolina. The company applied for an air quality permit with the state agency earlier this month.
The public meeting will discuss the company’s application for an air quality Permit to Construct to install a 200-ton-per hour concrete, brick and asphalt crushing and screening plant in Beltsville, a suburb of Washington, DC.
Bob Maddox, with the Maryland Department of Environment, said that the informational meeting is a requirement for a company seeking a permit.
The meeting will be held Sept. 8, and is being organized by the Maryland Department of the Environment.
