CASTLE HAYNE, (AP) — Environmental groups are challenging the state decision to issue an air quality permit for a cement plant in Castle Hayne.

 
The StarNews of Wilmington reported that the Southern Environmental Law Center represents the groups, which filed an appeal Friday over the permit issued for Titan America.
 
The groups filed the appeal with the state Office of Administrative Hearings. The N.C. Division of Air Quality issued the permit to Titan on Feb. 29.
 
That decision came after three years of fighting between the company and residents, who fear the plant's impacts on tourism and health, among other issues.
 
State regulators have said the permit has safeguards to protect the environment and human health. Titan officials have said they intend to comply with the regulations.
