Board recommends DNR approve Buckeye Site 27 animal feeding operation permit
Summary
Hardin County supervisors voted to forward a recommendation to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources on an animal feeding and construction permit for Buckeye Township Site 27 after staff clarified it is distinct from a prior Site '21 application.
The Hardin County Board of Supervisors voted Feb. 11 to submit a recommendation to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources regarding an animal feeding and operation construction permit for Buckeye Township Site 27.
Supervisor (Unidentified) introduced the recommendation and sought staff clarification because the application resembled a previous Buckeye '21 filing. County staff confirmed Site 27 is a different application from Site '21 and that the matter had been reviewed previously in its own context. A supervisor summed up the board’s understanding: “This is not a new site,” noting prior handling of similar applications.
After questions and brief review, the board moved, seconded and carried a motion to forward its recommendation to DNR. The transcript does not record the text of the recommended position submitted to DNR, nor does it include a roll-call tally by name; the board recorded the motion as carried by voice vote.
The board did not provide additional detail in the meeting record about permit conditions, mitigation, or the applicant beyond the site label (Buckeye Site 27). Parties seeking the county’s full submittal or the DNR’s file should request the agency records for the application details.
