Asphalt plant on hot seat today at 10

The Kootenai County commissioners will deliberate today at 10 a.m. on the temporary permit for the asphalt batch plant in Rathdrum, a project that has garnered many objections from neighbors complaining of noise and smell.

The commissioners were court ordered to review their decision granting the permit, yet after a hearing earlier this month, they weren't sure exactly how to go about correcting the matter, as the permit's time limit has already passed. - Alecia Warren
