Simpson County Fiscal Court bans anaerobic digestion facilities
Summary
The court unanimously approved Ordinance No. 440.60, prohibiting operation of anaerobic digestion facilities in Simpson County. The ordinance passed on second reading with all magistrates voting in favor.
Simpson County Fiscal Court voted June 17 to adopt Ordinance No. 440.60, which prohibits the operation of anaerobic digestion facilities within Simpson County.
County Judge/Executive Mason Barnes presided over the meeting at the Simpson County Historic Courthouse. The ordinance received a second reading and final passage after a motion by Magistrate Scott Poston and a second by Magistrate Myron Thurman; the clerk’s minutes recorded affirmative votes from Poston, Thurman, Jeffrey Burr, Marty Chandler and Barnes.
The transcript minutes record the text of the motion and the vote but do not include extended debate or additional detail about enforcement, setback distances, or exceptions. The ordinance language as recorded in the minutes is limited to the prohibition; the court did not attach a written regulatory appendix during the meeting.
Because the minutes do not specify implementing regulations or enforcement steps, court staff will need to follow statutory procedures and any required notice periods before the ban takes effect. The court’s roll-call approval constitutes the final passage recorded in these minutes.
