But United Ethanol President Dave Cramer says his company is vigilant.
Mayor Tom Chesmore says even though only a few neighbors complain of health problems from emissions those residents deserve to be able to breathe clean air.
The Milton Plan Commission held a fact finding hearing Monday regarding the plant’s conditional use permit. However it appears the plant does not have such a permit. The city is determining the best route to use to regulate potential emissions and odors from the facility.
