DOE tells Teton County it no longer believes air-quality monitoring agreement is needed
Summary
DOE and DEQ representatives presented to the Teton County commissioners that the Department of Energy no longer believes ongoing air-quality monitoring under Agreement DE-NE700070 is required and proposed discontinuing the agreement; county staff and commissioners asked questions across two discussion blocks.
County attorneys and DOE representatives discussed Air Quality Monitoring Agreement DE-NE700070 during the meeting. Chief Deputy County Attorney Keith Gingery provided background; Shelby Goodwin (Department of Energy) and colleagues participated via Zoom and presented findings supporting discontinuing the monitoring agreement, saying the DOE does not believe further monitoring is warranted. The Board engaged with presenters and asked follow-up questions over two discussion periods.
The item appeared twice in the agenda discussion and was presented by DOE and DEQ representatives including Michael McAnulty, Jason Dayley, Kevin Culver and Tom Rackow. The record shows the Board discussed the recommendation but minutes do not record a final decision to terminate or extend the agreement; the transcript indicates the DOE proposal was to allow the agreement to lapse.
