Resident urges Meriwether County to investigate Covington Highway facility over noise, flat tires and runoff
David Lyle told the Meriwether County Board of Commissioners he has suffered property and safety impacts he links to operations at a facility on Covington Highway near I‑20 in Pioneer. "I had 6 flat tires," Lyle said during public comment, and described heavy weekend working hours, metal noise, and repeated runoff that he said made its way into Mathis Pond and local creeks.

Lyle said he and neighbors have repeatedly reported the site to environmental staff and county officials, and that visits by enforcement personnel did not resolve the problem. He said he collected photographs and paperwork and asked the board to act.

County staff responded in the meeting that they had reviewed complaints, were "digging into the ordinances" to verify the business's compliance, and had been working with the operator to remedy issues. Staff agreed to provide copies of environmental paperwork to Lyle and said they would continue the investigation.

The exchange highlighted two strands of concern: immediate road‑safety and property damage (flat tires and debris) and potential water quality effects where the resident described runoff and retention ponds. The board did not take a formal enforcement vote during the recorded segments; staff told the resident they would follow up with documentation and ongoing work toward a resolution.

Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff said they would supply the resident copies of the environmental materials and continue ordinance and permit checks. The board did not announce a schedule for further action on the record in the provided transcript.
