Page operates a state-permitted construction and demolition landfill in Crawford county.
KDHE staff subsequently received and investigated complaints that odors from the site indicated the burning of petroleum-based products and roofing materials. Investigations verified that asphalt shingles, plastic bags, foam packing materials, and other wastes had been burned at the site. The investigations were conducted on September 26 and December 12, 1996. The open burn exemption issued to Page Construction did not authorize the burning of materials beyond trees, brush, and wood. The order is subject to appeal to the Secretary of Health and Environment.
