Concern No. 41997 There has been a lot of dust the past two days leaving the property boundaries. Yesterday they were blasting, and today they are crushing. There is always dust coming off of the property; everyday, not just yesterday and today.

There is so much track out onto the highway at the quarry entrance today that when you drive by it kicks up so much dust so that you can't see. There is a concrete operation on the opposite side of the road from the quarry, so now the track out is twice as bad. Does the concrete company had the proper permit to be located there?

Concern Info

Trucks exiting AA Quarry were causing some dust as they pulled out onto the highway. AA Quarry is in the process of fixing their water truck to fully comply with BMPs.

The portable concrete plant does have the required permit to be located there.

Concern No. 42042 There's a new home being constructed on-site at this property. The workers there have been burning leftover construction materials on the front and rear of the property. They simply make a pile and leave it burning overnight. I am concerned about embers because other homes and fences are in very close proximity. I'm also concerned about the chemicals in some of these products going into the air. The charred remains are still there, but they have placed more on top, so I fear they will be burning again soon

Concern Info

This concern is located within the city limits of Kansas City, MO; therefore, the concern was referred to the delegated local agency, which is the City of Kansas City Health Department's Air Quality Program.

Concern Info

I telephoned Timothy J. Pekios of Midwest Environmental Studies to discuss this site. It had been inspected on August 20, 2019, by Tim Pekios as a state-certified asbestos building inspector. The project was also notified as demolition project, which was notified by the City of Poplar Bluff as was processed and approved by the Missouri Department of Natural resources' Air Pollution Control Program as project number D10026-2019. Since the project had been properly inspected and notified as a demolition project I called Timothy J. Pekios, Owner of Midwest Environmental Studies to corroborate his involvement with the project. Tim Pekios stated that his firm had removed the asbestos materials from the building as reported in the notification.

For these reasons, it has been determined that no violation of 10 Code of State Regulations 10-6.080 Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants adopting by reference Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 61 Subpart M---National Emission Standard for Asbestos has occurred.

Concern No. 42682 Open Burning. Two questions: First question. Is it permissible to bring household rubbish produced from another location and bring it to an abounded farmstead to burn in a burn barrel. Please note once fire is started the tenant leaves the fire unattended. Second question. Can green wood, cut from one occupied property be moved to another unoccupied property to be burned? In both cases if the fire is less than 600 feet from an occupied residence is that permissible?Thank you

Concern Info

According to Kyle Glastetter, he is open burning some household waste and he is also open burning some tree limbs generated at his residential property by recent storm activity. He is open burning on his own residential property. He expanded the former property by purchasing the place next door. He is allowed to open burn trash generated at his residence and tree limbs and yard waste generated on the property.

The regulation that is pertinent is 10 CSR 10-6.045 Open Burning Requirements.

The definition for household waste is garbage, trash and other discarded materials that are generated from residential activities in a household.Open burning is the burning of materials where the products of combustion are emitted into the open air without passing through a chimney or stack. Vegetative waste is defined as tree trunks, tree limbs, tree trimmings, vegetation and yard waste.

While the Missouri Department of Natural Resources does not recommend open burning, there is no prohibition against the open burning of vegetative waste and household waste on a single residence property when it is generated on that property.

Both the responsible party and the concerned party have received or been directed to the pertinent air regulation (10 CSR 10-6.045 Open Burning Requirements) and the fact sheet (Facts on Open Burning Under Missouri Regulations).

No violation was observed.

Concern Info

Under Title 40 Part 61 Subpart M---National Emission Standard for Asbestos, residential buildings having four or fewer dwelling units are exempt. An online search of the address given came back with the conclusion that the concerned party was correct and the involved structure was a house with a slate roof. Containment is generally not required for outdoor projects involving non-friable asbestos-containing materials because of the lesser potential of fiber release with non-friable slate roofing, which is categorized as a cementitious suspect asbestos-containing building material.No violation of Title 40 Part 61 Subpart M---National Emission Standard for Asbestos occurred.

"Caller:Rick Hayes636-667-1642

Location of Concern:International Shoe700 West Second St.Washington, MO 63090

Description of Concern:Mr. Hayes reports that he observed workers removing pallets of bricks from the interior of the old International Shoe building on Thursday (2/13) and Friday (2/14) and is concerned that they could be conducting demolition without prior testing for asbestos or NESHAP Notification. When asked, Mr. Hayes confirmed that he did not observe any walls or load-bearing structures being removed or demolished. Mr. Hayes explained that he lives next to this site and is concerned about potential asbestos exposure.

This site is the location of a previous Superfund Investigation, initiated in 2016. It was determined that there was no release of hazardous substances and did not warrant entry in EPA’s SEMS (Superfund Enterprise Management System) Database for further CERCLA Action.

I explained to Mr. Hayes that I would refer his concern to the APCP – Asbestos Unit, and they would be in contact with him if further action is warranted."

Concern Info







RegionInvestigation

DateDate



I investigated the concern on 2/19/20. Midwest Service Group (MSG), the contractor responsible for the asbestos abatement, submitted an abatement notification A8045-2020. The abatement was originally going to take place from 2/10/2020 to 2/21/2020.

When I arrived at the property, there was no abatement taking place. I observed only a dumpster on the property and a few parked trucks, but nobody at the site. I called MSG, and spoke with Gail Kieffer-Hall, Project Coordinator, and Cory Elliot, Project Manager. They explained that the project was on hold while the owner removed more property from the building. They did not know what materials were being removed that would have prompted the concern. When I returned to the office, I saw that an amendment had been submitted on 2/7/20 that placed the project on hold.

Tom Sims, Environmental Supervisor, received a call from Mr. Jake Gallegos, a third party contractor involved in the abatement. After speaking with the property owner, Mr. Gallegos informed Mr. Sims that the owner was removing some pallets of bricks from storage on the property. This is likely what prompted the concern from Mr. Hayes.

Additionally, MSG was informed that they needed to submit a separate demolition notification for the demolition of a boiler structure on the property.

On 2/21/20, MSG submitted another amendment, noting that the abatement would take place 2/24/20 - 3/6/20.

On 2/24/20, I called Mr. Hayes and explained what we found. I let him know the new abatement start date. Mr. Hayes told me he lived next door and was watching the abatement. He told me he just wanted to make sure that proper precautions were being followed. I told Mr. Hayes to let me know if he had any further concerns.

This paste is splashing up onto our vehicles, and creating a hardened crust all over the undercarriages, up the sides, inside wheel wells, and under the doors of our vehicles. This crust is thick, and hardened, and unable to just be wiped off.

Is it dangerous silica dust? Is it rotting our vehicles? Is it dangerous for us to breathe, as we follow trucks and street sweepers that are surrounded by a cloud of white dust?

After multiple emailed complaints, we, the residents, are receiving NO response from FWI/US Silica.

This roadway problem is becoming unacceptable. Many of us are business owners, driving expensive lettered vehicles, which we are unable to keep clean. The paste that is being splashed onto our vehicles is causing decay. The center lines on the roadway are not visible. And the constant parade of dump trucks and tanker trucks often create dangerous situations for us, as residential drivers, as they often run stopsigns, take up our lanes to make turns without yeilding to us, etc.

When all of us built our homes here, US Silica did not even exist. But, now it is a 24 hour/day operation. We have tried to be civil, and reach out to quarry and sand plant personnel. However, we are receiving no response.

Concern No. 42432 Patrick Dickinson called to complain of a burnt hair/asphalt odor. He said he smelled the odor from about 6 am to 9 am on Friday, 3/13/20. When he told me where he lived (2992 Haas Avenue, Maryland Heights, MO 63043) and I looked at the wind direction for that time in the morning (N to NNW), I told him there was a high chance the odor was originating from the Fred Weber Asphalt plant (located at 2305 Creve Coeur Mill Road, Maryland Heights, MO 63043). Mr. Dickinson says that he has been smelling the burnt hair/asphalt odor pretty regularly and was wondering what authority DNR had to control the odor or the facility that generates it.

Concern No. 41974 Related to concern #24558 but a different facility. Construction and demo waste burned from the Quality Structures of Arkansas yard was said to have come from the Parkview lodge motel. I did not see any demolition notification for this facility so I suspect they did not do any asbestos inspection before the demolition. I am concerned that the waste from the construction yard may have asbestos and that the RP will be doing the same thing again. At least the visit will help educate the RP.

He said the guy is using IMRON paint and a syphon feed gun. He is not only worried for the guys wellbeing as he has living quarters in that hanger (1st of the right) but he is concerned that the hangar does not have explosion protection. He doesn't believe there are exhaust fans and doubts that a filter is being used. He is also concerned if there was an explosion in that hangar that there is a hangar nearby that stores jet fuel that could be very dangerous

RP's brought in multiple mattresses and a hot tub yesterday (3/10/2020) and are planning to burn it soon (has been placed on top of previously burned business/ demolition/ remodeling waste)- remnants of the burning are left on site. CP states pile is much larger than the size of hot tub and mattresses. Wife also has a realstate business- may be bringing in waste from this business too.
