Council agrees to clarify clean-air resolution and add enforceable measures
Summary
The council reviewed a draft clean-air (dust mitigation) resolution proposed by the roads advisory board but concluded the document is too broad; members asked staff to add specific measures, timelines, and references to Wyoming DEQ best practices and to consider drafting a corresponding policy so expectations and enforcement are clear.
Council reviewed a draft "clean air" resolution put forward by the roads advisory board that expressed the town’s support for fugitive dust-control measures. Several council members said the draft as written was too broad and would be more useful if it cited specific mitigation practices, a timeline, and any enforcement mechanism.
One member suggested the resolution reference Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality best-management practices and, if appropriate, specify the dust-control product (for example, switching to a flake-based abatement product). Another member said a policy or timeline would make the resolution more meaningful to residents and contractors who must comply. The council did not finalize the language; members asked for a clarified draft that indicates specific steps and how the town will enforce them before placing the resolution on the regular meeting agenda.
