The coalition, which filed an appeal in June, includes a group of Early County residents opposed to a new coal-fired power plant there.
Justine Thompson, executive director of Greenlaw, says the plant will make grandchildren of local residents with property nearby suffer:
"Their grandchildren, that go to this property regularly, have respiratory illnesses, so they're very afraid of how the plant is going to impact the health of these children, and whether or not they're going to have to keep them indoors."Supporters say the two-billion dollar plant is safe, and will bring tax revenue and hundreds of jobs to the area.
The Georgia Office of State Administrative Hearings in Atlanta will hear more arguments against the facility tomorrow.
