Resident urges commission to demand permits for proposed sewer/pond near residential area
Summary
Local resident Mike Musselman told the Daggett County Commission he strongly opposes a proposed sewer/pond project near the Greenacre and Bear Paw areas, citing safety, traffic congestion on State Route 43 and questions about required EPA permitting and an environmental-impact study; he asked the commission to produce permit copies at the next meeting.
Mike Musselman, a member of the public, used the meeting's public-comment period to urge commissioners to withhold approval of a proposed sewer/pond project adjacent to residential parcels unless officials can confirm required permits. "I'm heavily against this," Musselman said, raising traffic and emergency-access concerns for State Route 43 and nearby residents.
Musselman said residents he had spoken with from the Greenacre and Bear Paw projects oppose the site, and he asked the commission to request copies of any permits, including environmental permits he said may be required. Chair (speaking for the commission during the exchange) clarified that he did not believe an EPA permit was required but agreed to note Musselman's request to present permit documents at the commission's next meeting.
Why it matters: Musselman's comments raise safety and land-use concerns that could affect whether the county supports a requested zoning change (from agricultural to commercial) or permit approvals. He asked commissioners to provide documentation at the next public meeting so citizens can verify compliance.
Next steps: Musselman asked staff to place permit copies on the agenda for the April 21 meeting and said he will research the project's permitting and may pursue additional action if documents are not provided.
