IOWA’S DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES HAS APPROVED THE LEGALLY-REQUIRED AIR-QUALITY PERMITS FOR THE NEW IOWA FERTILIZER PLANT NEAR WEVER.

THE DNR-ISSUED PAPERWORK FOLLOWS AN OCTOBER 17TH PUBLIC HEARING IN BURLINGTON, AT WHICH ABOUT A-HUNDRED QUESTIONS WERE SUBMITTED BY RESIDENTS OF THE AREA AND OTHERS. DNR SPOKESMAN CHRIS ROLING SAYS THE PERMITS ARE BASED ON THE PROPOSED PLANT MEETING EPA HEALTH STANDARDS FOR AIR QUALITY, INCLUDING THE EMISSION OF PARTICULATE MATTER AND NITROGEN OXIDE.

THE NEXT HOOP FOR THE COMPANY TO JUMP THRU IS A NOVEMBER 14TH PUBLIC HEARING IN DES MOINES WITH THE IOWA FINANCE AUTHORITY, CONCERNING FEDERAL BONDING FOR THE PROJECT.
