IDEM Responds to Request for More Inspectors
2 republican members of the Indiana House of Representatives, in reelection campaigns, recently called on IDEM to increase inspection personnel in East Central Indiana. The call from Tom Saunders and Bill Davis was responded to by IDEM:
A request that the Indiana Department of Environmental Management increase their monitoring of confined feeding operations in the state is something IDEM is willing to consider. Bruce Palin, Assistant Commissioner in the Office of Land Quality at IDEM says that currently the agency’s inspection resources are based on the number of facilities that need to be inspected in the different areas. “If there is a need to re-evaluate our current allocation based on an increase in the number of facilities, it is certainly something that we would be willing to take a look at,” Palin said.
