operation in the last 2 months. Williams stated
the odor from paint fumes where causing problems
of headaches. Williams said she was very
concerned of lead materials (from paint and sand-
blasting) spilling down into the primary
drinking source (pond) that approximately
155-160 of her dairy cows drink from.
There were 6 people present in opposition to
this request.
Hal Johnson expressed his concerns of this site
because the topography (of this property) does
not allow any control of run-off. Johnson
stated that this site flows directly into ponds
being used as a primary drinking source for farm
animals.
Merrill asked Johnson if the screens (he had
placed on the property) would not control
run-off and Johnson answered that screens
control sedimentation but nothing would control
chemicals being released into the soil.
Based on the concerns of chemical run-off,
Aweilda Williams made the motion, seconded by
Lynden Craven, to deny Merrill's request. The
motion was approved unanimously.
