County administrator: legal action to be taken against one non‑compliant solid‑waste hauler
Summary
The committee heard that two haulers were non‑compliant with permitting requirements; one was bought by an out‑of‑state firm and the committee declined legal action against that business, while legal action will be pursued against the other firm that continues to operate without a license.
County Administrator Lee Engfer told the Finance Committee that two solid‑waste hauling companies had been notified for operating without the required permit and that final warnings were issued in December. Engfer said one of the companies had been bought by a Montana firm and the county decided not to pursue legal action against that company. For the other company, which continues to haul without a license, Engfer said legal action will be taken.
The minutes do not record the names of the hauling companies, the specific ordinance cited, or the timeline for enforcement. The committee’s recorded decision differentiates the two cases: no legal action for the company sold to an out‑of‑state buyer, and legal proceedings for the continuing non‑compliant operator.
