PERMIT WITHDRAWN

Late last, March 2nd according to John Crosthwait of the Morgan County Planning and Zoning Department - Windy Hill has withdrawn their permit to operate a waste water injection well in Brush. The withdrawal was sent by Windy Hill attorneys and can be accessed from John's office in the old Morgan County courthouse if you would like to view it. I of course will be getting a copy and will add it to this blog.

The reasons for the withdrawal are not spelled out according to Mr Crosthwait. We will all need to be vigilant about this company and this particular site in the event a new permit is filed - which could happen. Today though I am going to consider this a small victory and have a beautiful clear glass of water. Cheers!!

This site will remain operational in order to stay on top of F Lee Robinson and his company Windy Hill and any future plans for the well that is in place near Hwy 71 and Morgan County Road Q.
