Oak Engineering and Manufacturing WPSUP

Description

A machine shop needed a special permit to keep storing 140 gallons of hazardous materials in the wellfield's tertiary protection zone. The board approved it unanimously — reviewers found the flammable cabinets, spill containment, and no-floor-drain setup protect the water supply.

Impact summary

No construction or expansion — just legalizing the existing chemical storage with county-mandated containment measures, so a 17-person manufacturing business stays open.
