Citations Keep Coming

Edgar Simpson, Editor of The Joplin Globe, Sunday, July 24, 2005, said it all, "Whatever the Missouri Department of Natural Resources is doing to work with RES on the odor problem in Carthage, it apparently is not enough. Renewable Environmental Solutions was cited a fifth time for odor violations on July 14. Everyone from the city mayor to US Rep. Roy Blunt to DNR Director Doyle Childers has said that the situation is unacceptable and the problem needs to be addressed. Those efforts, seemingly, have failed since the citations keep coming even after the company announced it had installed equipment to curb the problem. The question now is can the state make a difference or are the citations merely public relations for the department and another cost of doing business for the company?" http://www.joplinglobe.com/archives/story.php?story_id=106014
