I Can't Believe It!

According to The Joplin Globe, Thursday, February 2, 2006, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has given Renewable Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES) permission to resume operations on a "conditional basis" through February 15, 2006. MDNR Director, Doyle Childers was quoted as saying, "Allowing RES to operate under these conditions will enable the company to further evaluate its new air-pollution-control systems and determine if all odors can be totally eliminated." http://www.dnr.mo.gov/newsrel/nr06_040.htm

Until RES has paid their $60,000+ in fines and penalties for previous air polution violations, I can't believe that they are allowed to start operations, again. Oh, and just in case Director Childers wasn't in Carthage Thursday morning, it smelled!

What happened to the 60-day revocation of RES' Air Discharge Permit?
What happened to the Cease and Desist Order?
What happened to the lawsuit, State of Missouri vs. RES, seeking Preliminary and Permanant Injunction and Civil penalties?
