Roundup of August 25 Public Meeting

At the public meeting at the Saint Jo School Auditorium on August 25, FENCO displayed several exhibits during its presentation. These are reproduced here:

- One is a diagram of the liner that FENCO proposes to use to try to prevent leaks from the waste pits into the ground beneath.

- One contains maps of the area, showing the city of Saint Jo and the location of the proposed stationary treatment facility, the location of the Antlers Sand that serves as a recharge zone for the Trinity Aquifer, and a geologic cross section of the area between the proposed site and the town of Saint Jo.

- Another shows a detailed map of the stationary treatment facility site.

- Lastly, there is FENCO's "Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan."
