November 14, 2017 by Brunini Law

The Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board (“Board”) convened its regular monthly meeting at 9:00 a.m. on November 14, 2017, at the offices of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, in Jackson.  Dennis Riecke chaired the meeting.

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

The Board approved Issuance of Coverage under the AFO General Permit (MSG201961) and Issuance of Storm Water Coverage (MSR107546) for Matt Palmer Poultry in Jones County.  The application proposes 6 poultry houses and construction activity on 12 acres of disturbed land.  Staff stated that upon notification by the Applicant, 17 neighboring property owners submitted letters of objection and a local church submitted a signed petition citing issues including odor and health concerns.  A representative from the church and a neighbor appeared at the meeting and spoke in opposition.  Mr. Palmer appeared and addressed questions posed by the people in opposition and also by Permit Board members.  Because the facility’s application is complete and the Applicant is in compliance, MDEQ staff recommended issuance of the Permit.

The Board approved Reissuance of NPDES Storm Water Permit (MSS058548) and Reissuance and modification of Solid Waste Municipal Landfill Permit (SW04501B0378) for the City of Canton Sanitary Landfill in Madison County.  No attendees were present in the public hearing and one letter was submitted before the end of the comment period asking for clarification.  No one in opposition appeared at the meeting.   Because the application is complete, MDEQ staff recommended issuance of the Permit.
