In early 2008, a coal fired power plant was proposed for Washington County by Power4Georgians, a consortium of nine electric membership corporations (EMC). Their application to the state Environmental Protection Division  (EPD) for a permit to build an 850-megawatt pulverized coal plant in middle Georgia, concerned local residents and citizens across middle Georgia. Our concern for the negative impact Plant Washington would have on our air, water, farms and homes, wildlife, and local economy brought people  of all ages  together. In July 2008 we created the Fall-line Alliance for a Clean Environment, or FACE. Composed of a cross-section of the community in Sandersville, the county seat of Washington County, FACE members include school administrators, kaolin mining executives and plant workers, health professionals, ministers, mothers and fathers, timber owners, and small business owners, among others.

Together with our partners across the state and country, we are committed to protecting the fragile ecosystems of the Ogeechee and Oconee Rivers, both threatened by Plant Washington.  If constructed, Plant Washington will use up to 16 million gallons of water a day while annual releasing dangerous toxins into our water and air, and then traveling downstream and downwind to our friends, neighbors, and family.
