Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board Summary of Meeting Held January 9, 2018

January 11, 2018 by Paul Johnston

The Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board (“Board”) convened its regular monthly meeting at 9:00 a.m. on January 9, 2018, at the offices of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, in Jackson.  Dennis Riecke chaired the meeting.

The Board approved minutes from the December meeting and the non-controversial actions/ certifications completed by the staff since the December meeting.

Following a prepared agenda, items considered were as follows:

OFFICE OF POLLUTION CONTROL

Air II Branch

The Board approved the Issuance of Coverage under Multimedia Hot Mix Asphalt Facility General Permit (MSR700108) for WG Construction Company, Inc., Brewer Plant in Lee County. The Applicant notified the contiguous land-owners and public notice was posted in the local paper and public library.  One letter of objection from a contiguous land owner was received citing stormwater worries and also stating that the facility should be located in a less-populated area.  MDEQ staff performed an inspection and no violations were found.  The individual who submitted the letter of objection did not attend the Permit Board Meeting.  Because the application is complete, MDEQ staff recommended issuance of the Permit.
