Jennifer Krieger presented her report and was available for questions and a discussion ensued. Member Kettering asked about the three potential sites and wanted to know if they would have to determine the pro’s and con’s of each site. Jennifer Krieger stated yes, that’s what we are trying to do. Chairperson Plain asked on each of the three sites what if they were only 5 feet apart, what could they do. Jennifer stated that she thought that it was up to Planning Commission to catch it and state this is not acceptable. Chairperson Plain asked if there was anything on air quality/air monitoring, and Jennifer Krieger stated yes we just haven’t got to it yet. Member Schneider asked about odor and how to monitor it. Jennifer stated that it’s difficult to monitor but there are mud chillers and additives that they can use, and Jennifer also stated the odor comes from the drilling mud. Member Worden asked if we could tie air monitoring or testing to an odor complaint where we could actually get some air testing done. Jennifer stated yes, that we have an emissions mitigation plan requirement.
