SENATE
RESOLUTION 45 By: McIntosh
AS INTRODUCED
A Resolution expressing formal opposition to the
proposed Inola aluminum smelter project; and
directing distribution.

one of the largest industrial developments ever proposed in this
region and is expected to create significant long-term impacts on
Oklahoma and neighboring states; and
WHEREAS, this project raises substantial concerns regarding
potential emissions of fluorides, particulate matter, sulfur
dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other smelting-related byproducts that
may affect public health, property use, agriculture, and quality of
life; and
WHEREAS, local government has a duty to exercise caution before
supporting any project that may create long-term burdens on roads,
bridges, fire protection, emergency medical response, land use,
agriculture, water resources, and residential growth patterns.
