PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF CASS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA An Application for Anhydrous Ammonia License from the State of North Dakota was presented by R.F. "Ron" Dalbey, General Manager of the Peavey Company of Davenport /Durbin, ND. He received a special -use permit from Durbin Township for the Peavey Company to install the facility in the Village of Durbin, and he is now requesting permission from Cass County prior to submitting the application to the State Department of Agriculture for final approval. The States Attorney stated that there is a special chapter of the North Dakota Century Code dealing with anhydrous ammonia facilities requiring a county license and a State license as of June 30, 1985. He cited reasons that the county board may deny the license, one being for failure to comply with local citing requirements. Gerald Moderow, a representative of the Durbin Township Board, was present and stated that the requirements of the Township Board have all been met. Mr. Eckert stated that the condition of County Road 9 in this area is very much a concern, and he suggested that the Peavey Company consider an alternative site. He stated that the road in this area has been a burden on the County from the unit train, and this will be an additional burden. Mr. Dalbey stated that a majority of the product will be delivered by rail, but Mr. Eckert stated that rail service is not as fast and they will also be delivering by semi trucks in the spring when the product is used the most. Mr. Wieland stated that it was a disappointment to the County when the unit -train began operation in this area without the Commission's prior knowledge as it does cause problems on the roads. When the condition of County Road 9 weakens, it will not be a high priority for repair, due to other- priorities and the condition of other roads in the County. County Engineer Don Richards stated that the road has a low weight limit, and Mr. Dalbey has talked to him about this.
