Citizen’s Monitoring Committee

The Clean Harbors Citizen’s Monitoring Committee, a special committee overseen by the South Platte NRD, provides third party oversight of the Kimball incinerator’s operations.  The consultant that the committee works with is Jacque Riener of Southwest Environmental Engineering (McCook, NE).  Riener keeps the committee up to date with quarterly reports, reviews permits and compliance issues with the facility and NDEQ and EPA.

The Kimball CHESI facility serves the entire United States as a storage and treatment facility for a variety of industrial waste utilizing a 45,000 ton-per-year fluidized bed incinerator. The state-of-the-art thermal oxidation unit ('"TOU") is capable of maximum destruction efficiencies of hazardous waste and is able to handle an extremely wide variety of feeds.

Citizen’s Monitoring Committee members include Dennis Armstrong, Peggy Sanders, Greg Robinson, Steve Diemoz, Jim Johnson (SPNRD Director, Subdistrict 2) and Galen Wittrock, SPNRD General Manager.  The committee meets about 6-8 times a year in Kimball.
