The concerns didn't stop there, residents want to know how first responders would respond to a possible accident.
Acting fire chief for the Bluntzer Fire Department Michael Clack said over the past couple of weeks he has also received worried calls from residents as well.
"A lot of people are concerned, even though it is not being built in this district they are concerned that it still could affect them, and affect the area as a whole," Clack said.
Clack said an accident of this nature would be fairly new his first responders. In the case of this plant being built, he will ensure everyone in the department will be prepared to face any situation.
