Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The Jamestown City Council met in Special Session Tuesday afternoon (Nov 20, 2012) at City Hall.

All members were present.

The City Council approved and authorized entering into an Expedited Settlement Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency relative to violations at the Water Treatment Plant of the Clean Air Act.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency has fined Jamestown $2,080 for improper handling of chlorine at the city’s water treatment plant.

City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf says the fine initially was $5,000 but the EPA reduced it.

Schwartzkopf says the infractions uncovered in a spring audit dealt mostly with administrative procedures, and that no chemicals spilled.

　

Also approved was the request from El Zagal Jamestown Clowns for a gaming site authorization at the Jamestown Civic Center on June 22-23, 2013.
