Asbestos has been found among the construction materials dumped onto property located on Sycamore Trail and will have to be cleaned up to avoid the health risks associated with the material. Mike Rodock, industrial team supervisor for the Northeast District of Georgia Environmental Protection Division, said the investigation into the dumping is still underway. The waste containing asbestos - naturally occurring fibrous minerals that may cause serious lung disease through continued exposure - will be cleaned up according to state regulations he said.
