The Citizens for a Healthy and Safe Environment (CHASE) group was formed by long time civil rights activists and Lithonia residents in July 2010 when they were notified about a proposed biomass incinerator. The group’s first meetings were hosted by member Johnny Dougherty, now deceased. BREDL has provided the group with technical assistance throughout their campaign, and in 2014 CHASE became an official chapter of the organization.
