Due to regulations in the past, Farnsworth Paper Works, Inc., has an increasing buildup of fly ash on our property that has not been properly disposed. We would like to propose solutions to the Department of Natural Resources to allow us to receive permits to convert about half of our fly ash into low-grade fertilizer and to dispose of the rest of the unusable fly ash into the landfill on our property. Introduction Background Farnsworth Paper Works, Inc., which is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) office for region 4, produces over a thousand tons of fly ash every year. Fly ash is an inorganic remnant resulting from wood waste burned for heat.

The district court held that this area was considered a wetland under the Corps’ definition. This was then reversed in the Court of Appeals, which stated that the Corps’ must avoid taking without just compensation which violates the Fifth Amendment, thus giving the developer the right to fill their property without a permit.…

People would fear for the repercussions. These repercussions would include rioting if a man who was wrongfully convicted, was sentenced to death and families rampaging after a lost son or daughter, sister or brother.…
