Seattle tire-burning permit decision follows years of protest
Original: # Seattle # Washington # USA # US The news comes years after the company initially sought a permit from the Puget Sound
A company in the Seattle area has received news on its long-running effort to burn more tires as fuel in its kiln, years after first applying to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency for a permit. The application faced roughly a year of opposition from the Duwamish River Community Coalition, an advocacy group concerned about pollution in the area.
Why now: A local air-quality permit decision is drawing attention because of community concerns about pollution and tire burning.
