Amerities Hearing Held, Permit Decision Expected In A Couple Of Months

About 15 people testified during Tuesday evening’s Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s public hearing on Amerities West’s draft air quality permit renewal.  Many of the comments centered on complaints about the odor that can emanate from the railroad tie treatment plant on the east side of The Dalles.  DEQ Public Affairs Specialist Greg Svelund says a decision on issuance of the permit will probably take place in the next couple of months.  People can provide written comments through next Friday, January 30 by faxing them to DEQ at 541-388-8283, or e-mailing them to swafford.nancy@deq.state.or.us.
