MDEQ Staff recommended and the Board approved the above-referenced applications with conditions.  Staff stated that, as a result of notification of contiguous land owners and public notice, one written comment was received expressing concerns regarding flooding, zoning and noise. No one in opposition appeared at the meeting.   Because the application is complete, MDEQ staff recommended issuance of the Permit.

Other Business

Roy Furrh, MDEQ Legal Counsel reported that requests for Evidentiary Hearing have been received by Senator Dawkins and by a professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law regarding Mississippi State Port Authority, North Port Property in Harrison County. He asked the Board members to check their calendars and let him know if they would be available for a special meeting on Thursday, February 20, 2020.

Mr. Furrh reminded the Board that Stephen Maloney, who previously requested that the issuance of a water quality certification and storm water coverage to Renaissance at Colony Park – Phase III (Costco) be revoked filed suit with the Madison County Chancery Clerk and informed the Board that the Board’s decision to affirm its issuance of the Dry Litter Poultry Animal Feeding Operation Multimedia General Permit (No. MSG 201968) and the Large Construction Storm Water General Permit (No MSR107600) to Jimmy Le d/b/a Le Poultry, Pike County, Mississippi has been appealed to the Pike County Chancery Court. Mr. Furrh is working with the attorneys to get briefing schedules for both.

The next Permit Board meeting will be held on November 12, 2019, at 9 a.m.
