Concern No. 28523

ClintonKCRO 2016-07-27 2016-07-21 Hilltop tree service

Comments A Notice of Violation will be issued for violations of the open burning regulation and the fugitive dust regulation.

I arrived at Mr. Hill's property on July 27, 2016, around 10:30 a.m. and noticed two burn piles that were still smoldering. Mr. Hill runs a tree trimming operation, and it appeared that the burn piles were mostly vegetative waste. Mr. Hill has had previous NOVs for disposing of commercial waste by open burning.

I then went over to Mr. Vest's property and talked with him about the situation. He told me that every day, Mr. Hill brings a load of vegetative waste to his property and stacks the waste in piles to be burned. He lit these piles when the Vests were out of town, and when they came back the piles were still smoldering and there was ash all over their property. I took pictures of two cars and a grill that had ash on them. Also, the roof has had a buildup of ash from the constant burning at Mr. Hill's residence.

I talked with Mr. Hill on the phone on the same day while I was at his property. Mr. Hill admitted to burning the piles. At one point he told me it was all generated on his property and wasn’t from his tree trimming business. At another point he blamed the department for the burning because he was stacking piles of vegetative wood waste from his tree trimming operation and we wouldn’t give him an open burning permit. The piles got too big and he said he had to burn them. He is very emphatic that he will go out of business if he has to pay to dispose of the vegetative waste and that burning is the only way he can run his business.

Burning SNTurney

Concern Info Concerned party states that when he returned home from vacation, the large pile of brush on Mr. Hill's property from his business has been burned.He also explained that there was ash everywhere on his property. He also states that materials other than vegetative waste have been burned, including a mattress and box springs, trash can, plastics, and railroad ties. Mr. Hill puts the railroad ties on the bottom, then covers them with vegetation. Mr. Hill also does a lot of his burning at night.

Mr. Hill has had several concerns about burning brush from his business in the past.

ClintonKCRO 2016-08-19 2016-08-05 Mike Kratzer

Comments Demolition/renovation waste consisting of vinyl flooring, dimensional lumber, fiberglass, siding, a ceiling fan, and other waste was disposed by open burning. Also, open burning wasused as a means to salvage copper wiring. A letter of warning will be issued to Ms. Kratzer and her son, Mike.

On August 16, 2016, I responded to the above concern. Upon arrival, I went to the concerned party's address to respond to his most recent call, which was on Monday, August 15, 2016. I spoke with the concerned party about the property owner next door. He said he had found out the owner's name and number and also the same of her son that was living on the property as well. He told me about the burning incident as well as a pile of brush and debris at the back of the property. He offered to take me into his field so I could look at the pile, but I thought the son would see me and not answer his door. Therefore, I declined and went to the property where the burning was taking place.

Upon arrival to the responsible party, I went to the door and knocked several times, but there was no answer. I left the open burning regulation and other fact sheets along with my card.

When I returned to the office, I received information on the property owner. I called the owner and told her about the concern and that I went out to the property to talk to her son, but didn't get an answer. I asked her if she was aware that what had happened was against Missouri state regulations. She was not aware of the regulation. I asked if I could meet her at the property to go and investigate the burning and the pile of debris. She agreed to meet me at the property.

On August 19, 2016, I returned to the property and met Ms. Kratzer and her son, Mike. I saw the pile that contained vinyl flooring, dimensional lumber, fiberglass, siding, a ceiling fan, and other demolition waste. Ms. Kratzer told me that her house had termites and that she was fixing the inside where the infestation was. I told her that the demolition waste from her house in the brush pile had to be completely removed before the pile could be burned. She told me that she would be getting a roll off dumpster and the pile would be removed. I then went to the site where burning of the copper wire took place. It was in a small water trough, and the ash was approximately 1/4 inch in the trough. Her son told me that it was a one time deal and would not be doing that again.

I explained that I left the burn regulation and other fact sheets on Tuesday at his door. He said that he was in the back of the house and didn't hear me knocking and that he did get the sheets I left. I told them that I needed a receipt from the dumpster and photos showing that the pile was cleaned up. They said that they would.

Burning DRHolt

Concern Info The caller states that his neighbor to the north is bringing stuff in and burning it. It produces a thick black smoke and a noxious smell. He burnedaround 10am on July 15, last Friday (July 29) in the morning and this morning. He has observed his neighbor hauling stuff in trailers and trucks (possibly shingles and/or plastic caller did not know for certain) but the burning seems to occur when an old El Camino shows up. This morning it was like a fog from the smoke.

Last week they spoke with the fire department. They visited the property last Friday but the fire was out and (according to the caller) they did not go on the property where the burning occurred. They have also spoken to the sheriff.

Comments No proven environmental concerns.

I investigated the site on 8/18/2016. When I drove to the site, no one appeared to be on the property. There was a locked gate, so I left my card on the lock. From the road, you could see where the house had been, but there was no debris around the area. The next day, I received a call from Mrs. Downing. She said she had been out of town during the fire, but said her husband called her and told her the old farm house had burnt down. When I asked her whether he had burnt it or if it had been accidental and she was not able to answer the question. She repeated she had been out of town. I informed Ms. Downing that they were not allowed to burn anything, but vegetative and household waste. I asked her what they did with the remains of the house. They said they removed metal items and scrapped them, but said there was absolutely nothing left of the house. I informed her that the concern stated she had buried the waste and she said that they would not do that. She said they worked very heard to clean out the creek on the property when they purchased it and would not to anything to mess it up again. I asked Mrs. Downing if her husband could call me and she said he would. I have not received a call from Mr. Downing.

Domestic Sewage, Other

Butler

Concern Info Several years ago CP grandmother lived in a senior housing unit at Butler Rural Estates and it had a smell to it. CP figured it was nothing ofconcern. CP's family member moved in about 2 months ago and there is a bad smell in the apartment. The sewer and creek run behind the apartment. Cp's family member has been very sick lately. CP will get light headed when they visit. The apartment complex was built in 1976 and CP knows that some of the cabinets are original so wonders if that could be a possibility as well. Some apartments are uphill and some are downhill by the sewer and the housing unit said they will allow sister to move uphill. CP had recently looked at another apartment there that had mold and the maintenance worker painted over it. Housing said they will not do anything about it until the family a resident is hospitalized. Several people that live there have said they have had health problems since moving there as well. CP has gone to the city and county, but they did not investigate. CP's family member is still in the old apartment as she packs and has not decided if she will move uphill or move out. The family member has been staying with the mother because the smell is so bad.

McDonaldSWRO 2016-08-12 2016-08-12 Tyson Foods, Inc.

Comments No violations found. There was odor present in Noel and around the city limits. There was a large area of land application northeast of Noel, on Elk Springs Road on the north side ofTrestle Park Bridge. This was being conducted by Nebo Solutions, and they were spreading waste from Simmons Foods in Southwest City, Missouri. The odor was very strong, but they were meeting all their setback distance from the property line, and well over the minimum 300 feet from the river.

The odor around Tyson's was not strong enough for a detection at 7:1 with the Nasal Ranger, yet was very strong to my nose without the device. Because the air was heavy and still, it was hard to determine if the odor around the plant was coming from Tyson's or the Noel waste water plant or a combination of the two, since they sit next to each other.

Air Odors CGNoel

Concern Info Caller lives about a mile from the Tyson plant and says that it smells very strongly of ammonia. Trucks are constantly going in and out of the plant.Caller said her daughter lives 10 miles out of town and they can smell it at their house.

Caller said that the same thing happened last Friday, but it's considerably worse today. She can barely breathe and was coughing on the phone. She said she can even taste it in her mouth because the odor is so bad. She said it's not a chicken plant litter smell, but more of a chemical smell.

She said she tried calling Tyson earlier and they hung up on her.
