Concerns with Bango Oil

Residents of the Lahontan Lake area, surrounding area too, seem to have a battle on their hands. The odor in the area is causing a great amount of illnesses, but the tests of the facility seem to be what NDEP says is within reason.

Since I don't have all the facts, I thought I would post this so people could voice their own opinions! I know that Bango Oil is suppose to almost triple its production in gallons of oil produced.

I have been reading up on all the news articles and seen some of the documentation. I still can't figure out why they didn't have to pay the $100,000 fine imposed upon them either. Anyone have an answer for that? Did the county or state allow them to use the money as improvements instead? I'm confused here!l

I'll have more to post as I continue to educate myself on this matter!

If you have something to say, please feel free to leave a comment. I'd like to get some of the local residents thoughts. What are you doing about this ongoing battle? Have you been affected by the odor? What about the animals? Have you spoken to the legislature about concerns of public health? Is it Bango Oil? Well, let me know what you think!
