The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has entered into an administrative consent order with Mid-State Milling, Incorporated of Buckeye.
Mid-State Milling is an independent feed mill company that also has locations in State Center and Clemons.
The order calls for Mid-State at Buckeye to modify the receiving bay to comply with its air quality construction permit and applicable state and federal law, submit a construction permit application for the unpermitted as-built vent connected to the storage bin or modify the stack to be internally vented.
In addition, Mid-State must conduct an independent 3rd-party environmental audit to determine the compliance status of all air emitting sources at the facility and submit the audit report to the DNR.
The audit report shall document any discovered violations, needed corrective actions, and a schedule for compliance. Mid-State Milling must also pay a 9-thousand dollar administrative penalty.
