Activity Report for the month of May, 2000 for submittal to the
Yellowstone County Air Pollution Control Board on June 13, 2000.
1. INDUSTRIAL COMPLIANCE
A. All three operations at JTL Groun were checked for their annual compliance
inspection. The gravel crusher, ready mix plant and asphalt plant were in operation
at the time, and there were no visible emissions. All three plants are now on the
West Side of Shiloh Road.
B. Schessler Ready Mix in Laurel was also inspected and found to be in compliance.
C. Asphalt Supply in Laurel was the subject of an odor complaint in May. Mr.
Zimmerman, the plant manager, stated that there has been no change in their
operation although an inspection continued to find unpleasant odors in and around
the plant.
II. ADMINISTRATION
A. With 92% of the fiscal year over, we have expended approximately 88% of our
budgeted funds. We have also received the January through June payment form the
City of Billings and the remainder of our State/EPA funding.
Because our State/EPA grant for 2000-2001 will be reduced by $6,924.00, we will
be asking the local governments for an increased contribution next year. Our capital
outlay and operation and maintenance portion of the budget should remain about the
same as the current year.
B. An updated work plan has been sent to EPA regarding the EMPACT project, and
we have been told that a check will be in the mail very soon.
C. The Lockwood Fire Department received a warning letter from the DEQ for not
removing asbestos from a home prior to burning it for training purposes. They also
did not apply for a burning permit prior to conducting the burn.
D. The two-year terms of Mrs. Reed, Mr. Schilf and Mr. Steinmetz expire at the end of
June.
