(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission received the 2023 annual report from Northeast Kansas Environmental Services when they meet Monday.
Presenting the report was Martha Smith, the new environmental health specialist with the coalition that serves five northeast Kansas counties--including Brown.
Smith said they issued three new wastewater permit applications last year in Brown County, which is down from 7 issued in 2022.
She said they completed final use permits for six wastewater systems in the county.
In addition, Smith said they conducted two property resale system evaluations and checked three wells.
Smith said there no nuisance complaints last year, but they've already had two this year.
She said they are going to be revamping their website to make it more user friendly.
In other business, the commission approved the repair of the track loader at the county landfill. Foley Equipment, of St. Joseph, Missouri, will complete the repair work for a cost of nearly $30,000.
