Solid Waste manager urges commissioner participation in DEQ rule‑making; landfill scraper out of service
Summary
Solid Waste Manager Brandy Ward asked commissioners to participate in three upcoming DEQ rule‑making meetings implementing House Bill 555 and reported the Circular Butte landfill scraper is down, possibly due to a transmission issue.
Solid Waste Manager Brandy Ward updated the board on recent rule‑making activity with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) related to implementation of House Bill 555. Ward said she attended a prior meeting and that three additional meetings are scheduled; she recommended it would be beneficial for commissioners to participate in the remaining sessions.
Ward also reported equipment trouble at the Circular Butte landfill: the scraper is currently down and she suspects a transmission problem. She did not provide a timeline for repair or a cost estimate at the meeting.
No formal motion or budget request was recorded; Ward’s remarks were presented as an informational update and a staff request for commissioner engagement in the DEQ rule‑making process.
