A Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation deputy director Sherwin Smith warned a group of Maury County residents that unfounded complaints about water quality could be considered an “act of terrorism.”
“We take water quality very seriously. Very, very seriously,” said Sherwin Smith, deputy director of TDEC’s Division of Water Resources, according to audio recorded by attendees. “But you need to make sure that when you make water quality complaints you have a basis, because federally, if there’s no water quality issues, that can be considered under Homeland Security an act of terrorism.”
So if you have concerns about the water, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation will decide if your complaint is unfounded and therefore and act of terrorism.
