SUMMERVILLE, GA — Chattooga County authorities and the EPA won't decide before this morning whether it's safe for residents who live near the site of a monster recycling plant fire to return home.
Chattooga Emergency Management Agency Chief Eddie Henderson said Sunday the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will monitor the quality of the air in the area overnight and meet today to decide if the evacuation will be lifted. The EPA has been monitoring the air quality since early Saturday morning.
Sunday evening, more than 48 hours after the fire began at the plastics recycling plant, Henderson said it was contained and the situation had improved from Saturday.
