A few weeks ago, H&M Trucking in Clinton was handed citations from the EPA stemming from odors permeating from their facility.
Monday morning on Regional Radio News, State Representative Bill Mitchell admitted he has received phone calls about the situation and says it is hindering the quality of life for residents in the area but notes, he has not been updated on the situation in over a week.
Rep. Mitchell says his role as representative is to work with the legislative branch to solve problems like this. He indicates while he doesn't have direct authority to fix the problem, he can work with the EPA to get things going.
Rep. Mitchell indicates citizen complaints can also be directed towards him and he will relay those to the Illinois EPA.
Locally, the EMA office continues to be a point of reference for residents to call as well and they too, relay those messages to the Illinois EPA.
