Missouri Air Conservation Commission Thinks RES Stinks, too.

The Missouri Air Conservation Commission (MACC) thinks that RES is significant enough of a problem to want to tour RES, tentatively scheduled on December 7, 2005.

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) acknowledges that the Carthage industrial bottoms has a bad smell. The problem is documenting it with a scentometer, the measuring tool of emissions and violations. MDNR made 21 "official" visits in September 2005, and another 21 in October, and was able to smell an odor, but not document it. The Carthage Press, Monday, November 31, 2005, www.carthagepress.com .

All they have to do is to ask Carthage City Attorney David Mouton, or Carthage City Mayor, Kenny Johnson. The Carthage residents that live and work around or downwind from RES don't need a scentometer. Click on the MDNR Complint Form Link to report the smell, http://www.dnr.state.mo.us/concern.htm .

It's time to put a STOP to RES's smell.
