ANHYDROUS AMMONIA LICENSE, Permit application of Robert G. Thompson approved Glenn Ellingsberg, Cass County Disaster Emergency Manager, reported that he reviewed the application for anhydrous ammonia license submitted by Robert G. Thompson, Page, ND. He contacted Garry Wagner, State Department of Agriculture, and it appears Mr. Thompson has provided them the necessary information for the State to issue a license. The tank has been inspected by a State Boiler Inspector. Joel Quanbeck, County Planner, was informed of this application and was asked to notify Commissioners before today's meeting if he had any concerns. Mr. Ellingsberg said Mr. Thompson also needs to file a report with the State Division of Emergency Management under the Community Right-to-Know Act, and the State will provide that form to Mr. Thompson. Mr. Wieland asked if the county is assuming any liability by approving this license, however, Birch Burdick, State's Attorney, said he reviewed the statutes regarding anhydrous ammonia and found nothing in those sections which implies liability.
