| Haze from something
emanating from the Palmer Monofill site is obvious in
this photo submitted to Mat-Su-Borough Assemblyman
Matthew Beck by Theresa Daly. The noxious odor of this
haze resulted in a spate of emergency calls overnight. |

Assemblyman Matthew Beck |
After calling on Palmer residents upset at noxious odors
emanating from the Monofill site on state fairgrounds to call
city hall this morning, Mat-Su Borough Assemblyman Matthew Beck
this afternoon upped the ante.
He is now encouraging residents to file complaint with the
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation against
Alaska Demolition,
operators of the site.
"I've spoken with the City of Palmer Manager and folks at the
State of Alaska DEC," Beck wrote on his
Facebook page this afternoon. "I'm getting conflicting
reports. The City has stated that there is an underground fire
at the Monofill site located at the southeast corner of the
Alaska State Fairgrounds. The DEC states that the company claims
there was a 'steam release.' I think the company is lying. I
think we know the difference between smoke and steam. I have
been told that there are penalties if it is a fire and my guess
is that the company is trying to avoid those penalties. Please
keep calling and visit the
attached website to file an official
complaint with the DEC. Thank you!"
