Ileene’s thank-you note read, “It was very good to seeeach of you at the meeting. Brings back so many greatmemories of all the families. Bob would have been sothrilled with the presentation of the HonoraryMembership recognition of his pioneering efforts. Hesaid, ‘it would be a long term process for the membersto reap the benefits.’ So true! Thanks to ALL, the EastinFamily. (Ileene Eastin)”

___ Could a discharge of oil from my facility be reasonably expected to impact waters? In making this determination, you may not consider any intervening man-made feature, such as berms, dikes, elevated railroad track, roadway, etc. You should consider adverse weather conditions.

___ Is my facility non-transportation related? A facility, or part of a facility, may be both transportation and non-transportation related based upon its mode of operation at any given time (i.e. mobile tankers, railcars, and even certain oil storage tanks).

If you answer “yes” to all of these questions, then youmust prepare and implement an SPCC Plan inaccordance with 40 CFR Part 112.

With Deep SympathyOn May 31, Missouri LICA and the landimprovement industry as a whole, lost oneof its strongest supporters when ClintLevings passed away in Tarkio, MO at theage of 93.

Clint was a charter member of MissouriLICA and continued his support, even afterhis retirement, by holding a Supportingmembership. His family has carried on hisdedication to the industry, with his son,Roger, holding a Contractor membership;

and his grandson, Eric, holding a Company Associate membership.

While working as a contractor, Clint was the recipient of an awardfor “Missouri Conservation Contractor of the Year” in 1965. Theaward stated “Clint was a pioneer of conservation work in itsinfancy, through his conscientious efforts, quality work and honesty,conservation has become a reliable occupation for many men.”

Clint’s legacy will be realized in Missouri for many generations tocome. We offer our deepest sympathy to the entire Levings familyin this time of sorrow.
