NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENT
For a more complete description of this proposal see the Board's January 4, 2007, order
in
Proposal of Vaughan & Bushnell Manufacturing Company of Amendment to a Site-
Specific Rule 35 111 . Adm. Code 901 .121 (R06-11) . The Board is adopting site specific
amendments to an existing site-specific noise rule to allow the Vaughan & Bushnell
Manufacturing Company (V&B) to extend the operational levels of its forging facility
located at the intersection of Davis and Main Streets, Bushnell in McDonough County .
The adopted amendments will allow V&B to operate 24-hours a day .
The amendments are based on a request filed by V&B on October 20, 2005 . In its
proposal for the rulemaking and at the hearing in this rulemaking, V&B stated that it
needed an extension on its operational hours to allow it to operate a third shift at its
facility. V&B stated that it produces hammers, hatchets, heavy striking tools, and pry
bars, and has contracts with distributors that require timely delivery of its products .
In considering the character of the surrounding areas and land uses, the Board found that
the V&B facility is appropriately located in an area that is heavily industrial in nature,
and that the adopted amendments would not have an adverse environmental impact on
the area.
