(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Board of Supervisors have a busy meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 17th. During their session that begins at 9-a.m., the Board is expected to receive a monthly report from Cass/Guthrie County Executive Director of Environmental Health, Jotham Arber, and a presentation from officials with Anita Economic Development.

The Supervisors will discuss Landus’ plan for improvements to their newly constructed anhydrous ammonia storage site south of their facility just west of Highway 71 (formerly Wickman Chemical). The plan includes a proposed 90,000 gallon NH3 (anhydrous ammonia) tank that will be relocated from a facility in southern Minnesota and place it just west of the existing 72,000 gallon tank, bringing the total capacity at the site northeast of Atlantic, to 162,000 gallons. The site plan conforms to IDALS requirements. Officials with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship have inspected the site, and according to the agenda comments, have no issues with adding the additional tank.

The Board will consider a counsel proposal from Ahlers-Cooney Attorneys, and act on approving resolutions adjusting the Medical Examiner fees and a Rural Transit System Joint Participation Agreement with SWIPCO/SWITA. Among the action items to come before the Supervisors, is:
