EPC TO CONSIDER APPEAL FROM WRIGHT COUNTY

DES MOINES - The Environmental Protection Commission will be asked to
consider an appeal from the Wright County Board of Supervisors on the DNR's
issuance of a construction permit for Environ Eggs Production Company.

The EPC meeting will be held Sept. 17, at 10 a.m., in the fourth floor
conference room of the Wallace Building in Des Moines. There will be a
public comment period at 10:30.

The county's appeal alleges that the DNR should not have approved the permit
without requiring a manure management plan and without considering air
quality standards.

Also up for the commissioners to consider is a rulemaking proposal to define
and exempt some small air emission units from permit requirements. It also
defines 'indoor units" for which no permit is required. The DNR worked with
the Association of Business and Industry to develop the rule with mutual
interest in not permitting sources with little environmental or health
consequences.

The members of the commission are Terrance Townsend, Chair, Newton; James
Braun, Latimer; Lisa Davis-Cook, West Des Moines; Kathryn Murphy, LeMars;
Rita Venner, Breda; Gary C. Priebe, Algona; Darrell Hanson, Manchester; J.
Kelly Tobin, New Market and Lori Glanzman, Mt. Pleasant.  The director of
the DNR is Jeffrey Vonk.
