Description
House Agriculture Subcommittee - March 15, 2022 - House Hearing Room 3
A
A
Let
me
get
to
my
right
page
here.
We'll
give
our
fact
of
the
day
real,
quick
and
then
get
into
our
business.
We've
got
several
things
on
the
agenda.
In
tennessee,
there
are
four
species
of
asian
carp
that
originates
from
the
yancey
and
amur
rivers
in
china.
These
fish
were
imported
into
the
u.s
in
the
1970s
and
unintentionally
were
introduced
to
the
nation's
riverways
in
the
early
1990s,
due
to
extreme
flooding
in
ponds
within
the
delta
areas
of
the
mississippi
river
of
the
four
species.
A
The
silver
carp
is
most
known
for
leaping
out
of
the
water
and
becoming
a
projectile
and
causing
injury
to
boaters
and
water
skiers.
However,
all
asian
carp
have
the
capacity
to
deplete
and
alter
the
current
food
web
of
the
reservoirs
that
support
natural
resources,
including
highly
valued,
recreational
and
commercial
fisheries.
A
Commercial
fishing
has
the
ability
to
remove
millions
of
pounds
of
these
asian
carp
annually.
At
the
recommendation
of
the
tennessee
general
assembly's
asian
carp
task
force,
twra
funded
70,
a
75
000
grand
in
2017
to
the
paris
henry
county
industrial
committee
to
develop
local
commercial
fishing
businesses
for
the
asian
carp
in
2020.
The
tennessee
wildlife
federation
received
25
million
dollars
in
federal
funding
to
combat
asian
carp
in
tennessee
through
various
partners.
A
C
A
A
F
You,
mr
chairman,
and
and
we've
heard
this
bill
once
I'll
I'll,
say
a
few
words
about
it
and
just
to
kind
of
refresh
your
memory.
If
that's
all
right,
this
house
bill
2149,
transfer,
transfers,
control
of
the
carroll
county,
1,
000,
acre
recreation
lake,
the
twra,
and
moves
it
away
from
the
current
carroll
county
watershed
authority.
Over
the
past
few
years,
it's
become
apparent
to
management
and
of
this
asset.
A
A
A
A
C
So
oftentimes
we
as
representatives
we
have
our
constituents,
have
a
lot
better
ideas
than
what
we
do,
and
so
they
bring
us
things
that
we
oftentimes
do
not
think
about,
and
this
is
one
of
these
bills.
I,
my
constituent,
is
with
me
today.
Kevin
hathaway
sitting
right
out
here
in
the
audience
here
came
to
me
some
16
18
months
ago
and
said:
look
we're
we're
heading
towards
a
food
shortage
in
tennessee,
and
that
was
when
times
were
really
really
good
and
sure
enough.
C
As
time
has
progressed,
we
have
oftentimes
seen
the
the
shelves
in
the
stores
have
been
empty
and
it's
not
because
of
a
lack
of
production.
But
it's
just
a
lack
of
getting
it
there
to
the
market
and
tennessee
and
made
food
tennessee
made
foods
for
tennesseans
was
a
brainchild
of
his
he'd,
been
working
on.
This
we've
been
working
on
it
for
16
months,
looking
at
finding
ways
and
avenues
for
tennessee
products.
C
C
G
A
A
H
H
A
A
I
H
A
I
H
Me
with
that.
Well,
that's
not
really
what
it's
trying
to
say
it
it.
There
is
some
stuff
in
there
talking
about
an
industrial
park
due
to
you
know
the
infrastructure
there
that
they
can
also
be
put
in
some
of
those.
But
it's
not
saying
I
think
what
you're
interpreting
I
don't
know
representative
shaw.
I
H
I
J
J
H
J
A
A
K
Thank
you
chairman.
Thank
you,
committee.
What
we
have
here
is
a
bill
to
make
it
easier
for
folks
to
take
wild
hogs
and
get
them
to
processing
plants
or
get
them
sorry
processed
and
on
their
way
to
shelters
where
we
take
care
of
feeding
the
homeless
people
that
are
underserved
in
particular
areas.
Let
the
let
the
hunters
donate
that
meat
so
that
we
can
try
and
offset
some
of
the
some
of
the
hunger
needs
that
we
have.
K
J
Thank
you,
chairman
lafferty.
I
was
going
to
ask
you.
Is
it?
Is
it
your
thought
or
your
intent
that
that
the
hog,
so
that
100
kills
the
the
feral
hog
and
then
they
are
you
thinking
that
they
would
take
it
to
a
slaughterhouse
or
they
slaughter
it
themselves?
What
what's
allowing
both
of
those
just
kind
of
just
a
little
bit
of
clarity?
Just
on
on
the
intent
there
representative.
K
For
for
safety
reasons
it
would,
it
would
probably
need
to
be
someplace
where
they
are
familiar
with
the
handling
and
able
to
recognize
any
of
the
issues
that
might
come
with
the
diseased
animal
or
something
like
that
as
far
as
the
actual
nuts
and
bolts
of
how
it
all
comes
together,
I'm
not
as
well
versed
as
I
probably
ought
to
be
for
this
committee
today.
Sorry.
I
Thank
you,
mr
sponsor.
Have
you
looked
into,
and
I
know
some
animals
are
different
from
others,
but
when
it
comes
to
wild
hogs
and
if
you
looked
into
the
kind
of
diseases
that
might
be
spread
through
those
kind
of
animals
and
who
would
control,
the
idea
is
great
to
give
the
meat
away.
That's
that
I
have
no
no
problem
with
that,
but
would
that
be
safe
for
families
in
need
to
go
to
slaughterhouses
and
get
that
kind
of
meat
for
free
because
they
are
wild
animals
who
choose
to
eat
a
little
bit
of
everything?
K
K
Again
I
get
back
to
the
whoever's
handling.
This
needs
to
know
what
they're
doing
and
be
able
to
identify
those
issues,
and
I
don't
I
I'd
like
to
know.
I
don't
know
how
much
of
that
gets
cooked
out
at
the
end.
It's
it's
my
understanding
that
the
initial
handling
presents
some
issues,
but
that
would
be
the
case
again
with
deer
or
anything
else
getting
to
the
end
consumer,
those
folks
in
the
middle
processing
that
do
need
to
have
some
sort
of
ability
to
be
able
to
delineate
hey
this.
This
doesn't
look
good.
K
I
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
of
course
I
have
participated
in
the
past,
the
hunters
for
the
hungry
as
far
as
deer
and
the
processing
that
takes
place-
and
I
hope
that
I'm
correct
saying
I
think
it's
14
counties
now
it's
mr
richardson's
out
in
the
audience
as
far
as
chronic
wasting
disease,
so
we've
got
the
folks
testing
for
that.
That
could
potentially
be
a
problem.
G
The
cdc
just
says
you
may
not
want
to
eat
a
chronic
wasted.
Diseased
deer,
however,
I'm
in
support
of
this
legislation.
They
do
it
in
texas
already,
but
that's
that's
correct.
It's
when
you're
processing
that
animal-
and
you
see
a
problem
with
it,
you
just
keep
it
from
going
into
the
food
chain,
but
anyway
appreciate
the
legislation.
Sure.
A
A
L
Thank
you,
chairman
committee.
I
appreciate
you
hearing
this
bill.
It
would
allow
a
party
involved
in
a
review
proceeding
or
judicial
proceeding,
involving
a
proposed
landfill
or
expansion
of
a
landfill,
to
request
that
the
case
be
heard
in
the
court
of
the
county
in
which
the
landfill
or
the
expansion
is
located
and
that'll
be
happy
to
answer
questions.
A
G
L
Thank
you,
that's
a
great
question.
My
understanding
is
when
they
had
the
discussion
of
that
bill
in
the
senate.
They
inadvertently
sent
it
to
summer
study.
All
the
members
of
that
committee,
including
the
chairman
of
that
committee,
has
written
a
letter
to
reconsider
their
action
on
that
bill.
So
my
understanding
is
that
they're,
looking
at
or
they're
going
to
reopen
that
committee
to
to
take
another
action
on
this
bill.
So
you
know
I'd
like
to
have
it
heard
and
hopefully
keep
it
alive
so
that
they
can
hear
in
the
senate.
G
A
L
The
bill,
as
amended,
does
what
I
said
it.
What
I
did
in
my
notes
that
it
does
allow
a
party
involved
in
either
a
review
proceeding
or
a
judicial
proceeding
involved
in
a
proposed
landfill
or
expansion
of
the
landfill
to
request
the
case
be
heard
in
the
court
in
the
county
in
which
the
landfill
expansion
is
located
to
me
for
the
the
people,
the
constituents
that
are
most
impacted
would
be
able
to
hear
it
in
their
county.
They
would
be
able
to
travel.
L
L
Thank
you,
that's
a
great
question
that
may
be
something
that
our
the
attorneys
may
answer.
I
just
know
that
during
the
research
and
discussion
that
I
had
in
this
legislation,
the
question
that
was
brought
up
is
that
yeah,
it
was
it's
heard
in
davidson
county
and
then
my
ques,
my
question
to
them
was
well.
A
And
I
just
know
from
my
experience
with
working
for
t-deck
many
years
ago.
Everything
was
always
you
know
if
you,
if
you
ever
got
to
the
court,
setting
it's
in
davidson
county.
So
this
would
be
unusual,
bringing
this
type
of
thing
out
of
that.
But
that's
what
your
intention
is
any
other
discussion,
seeing
none
if
you're
ready
to
vote
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2560
as
amended
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
your
bill
moves
on
to
full
committee.
Sir.
Thank
you,
chairman
committee.
A
B
B
B
The
highest
rate
of
pollution
in
shelby,
county
and
shelby
county
really
is
the
highest
level
of
pollution
in
the
southeastern
part
of
the
united
states.
That's
from
the
research
that
we
revealed
when
I
attended
a
forum,
environmental
forum
at
the
university
of
memphis,
and
this
is
just
to
provide
safety
for
those
families.
B
B
Coal
ash
is
a
catch-all
term
for
several
kinds
of
waste
left
over
power
plants
that
burn
coal
typically
contains
a
number
of
substances
harmful
to
human
health,
namely
arsenic,
chromium
lead,
mercury,
copper.
Your
name
is
over
almost
100
different
diseases
that
can
finally
come
from
from
hazardous
waste
in
these
communities,
and
what
has
happened
is
I
have
already
started
transporting
the
coal
ash
from
the
allen
plant
to
a
landfill
in
southeastern
memphis
and
then
from
reports
from
the
community
is
that
there
are
trucks
lined
up
on
the
streets
and
they're
afraid
of
the
pollution.
B
B
They
may
have
some
information
to
say
about
it
too,
but
over
years,
10
years
of
transporting
ash
from
one
community
to
another
up
and
down
the
streets,
there's
got
to
be
some
air
particles,
that's
coming
out
somewhere
and
to
prevent
this.
I
just
thought
that
we
could
just
make
sure
that
we
had
someone
at
the
entry
of
picking
up
the
ash
and
where
they're
dumping
it
in
the
landfill
there
to
protect
those
communities.
B
We've
had
experiences
from
dust
coming
out
of
trucks
in
and
out
of
that
community
and
in
little
layers
of
dust
where
the
citizens
would
walk
in
and
track
it
into
their
homes
and,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
these
invest.
These
inspectors
are
inspecting
as
much
as
they
can
to
make
sure
that
our
particles
are
not
dust
between
from
one
point
to
the
other
in
the
communities
that
are
exposing
citizens
with
the
pollution
with
hazardous
waste.
B
Residents
living
close
to
the
landfills
we
be
exposed
to
high
coal,
rash
dust
concentrations,
that's
pollution
and
lead
and
that
it
really
will
affect
the
lungs.
The
nervous
system,
kidneys,
hearing
impairment,
high
blood
pressure,
swelling
of
the
brain
male
reproductive
problems,
ulcers
bone
weakness-
I
mean
a
whole
list,
that's
in
research
that
says
what
it
does
so
just
to
ask
for
some
protection
when
they're
picking
it
up
or
when
they
are
dumping
into
the
landfill.
I
think
it's
just
a
little
something
they
asked
and
I
was
looking
at
my
fiscal
note.
B
It's
a
little
high,
but
I
probably
need
to
work
with
fiscal
on
that
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
have
the
right
fiscal
note,
and
you
know
if
just
a
couple
of
more
things
and
any
research
that
I
worked
on
and
I
worked
on.
An
extensive
tendency
is
especially
vulnerable
to
condominations
contaminations
from
coal
ash
because,
because
almost
all
of
its
empowerments
are
over
30
years
old
and
many
lack
important
safeguards
like
pollution,
liners
and
collection
systems.
This
comes
from
wikipedia
and
all
of
tennessee's.
B
Coal
fired
power
plants
are
known
to
be
canaanite,
contaminating
drinking
water
supplies
and
toxic
heavy
metals.
Tva
plants
leave
all
its
coal
ash
where
it
already
is
threading
ground
and
surface
water,
presumably
forever.
I'm
telling
this
is
in
the
books
that
I
read,
and
I
was
really
surprised
at
that.
I
don't
know
whether
you
know
about
it,
but
I
think
maybe
some
of
you
may
also
know
about
the
kingston
coal
ash
plant.
B
Now
this
is
across
tennessee,
not
just
in
shelby
county.
So
I
wanted
to
bring
that
to
your
attention.
We
don't
want
to
be
like
the
family
dollar
store,
come
out
and
spread
all
over
the
state
and
all
over
the
united
states,
embarrassing
tennessee.
We
just
need
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
try
to
protect
these
families,
these
communities
and
about
this
environmental
injustice.
B
A
B
So,
if
that's
not
clear
and
understanding,
we
need
to
go
back
to
the
table
and
redraw
it
so
that
we
can
have
the
exact
language
and
then
let
they
lacked
the
the
exact
intent
for
this
legislation.
There's
nothing
really.
I
think
that
is
too
much
to
ask
and
and
and
sometimes
and
we
all
human
things,
I'm
not
criticizing.
A
B
Yeah
and-
and
so
that's
and
sometimes
even
me-
somebody
criticizes
me-
I
could
really
get
upset,
so
I
know
how
that
goes,
and
but
I
try
to
do
better,
even
if
that
is
criticism.
I
look
at
myself
in
the
mirror
and
try
to
do
better.
So
I'm
not
saying
that
they're
not
doing
a
whole
lot.
I
know
they're
doing
a
lot,
but
the
people
think,
with
this
area
being
so
heavily
exposed
to
pollution,
air
water,
if
you
name
it
goes
on
in
that
area,
because
it's
right
by
the
mississippi
river.
B
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
appreciate
the
sponsor.
You
know
I.
I
appreciate
what
you're,
what
you're
trying
to
do
you've
made
the
points
about
you
know,
maybe
maybe
the
ash
coming
out
in
transit.
You
know
maybe
from
the
backs
of
trucks
and
things
like
that
and
getting
in
communities.
I
think
that's
something
that
you
know
is
certainly
worthy
to
take
a
look
at
you
don't
want,
regardless
of
of
what
kind
of
waste
someone's
hauling
you
don't
want,
that
flying
out
of
the
back
of
the
truck
and
into
the
community.
J
J
Currently,
I
said
it's
just
so
it's
so
such
a
big
change
and
really
kind
of
going
much
further
than
even
the
epa
goes,
but
but
to
your
points
on
making
sure
that
it's
not
you
know
flying
out
into
communities
out
of
the
backs
of
trucks
and
things.
I
think
you
made
very
solid
points
on
that.
Just
wanted
to
to
let
you
know
I.
J
I
think
I
think
we
just
probably
need
to
approach
it
a
different
way,
rather
than
classifying
it
as
a
hazardous
waste
that
that
kind
of
has
big
bigger
implications,
maybe
than
what
than
what
you're
shooting
for,
but
but
again
like.
I
wanted
to
to
to
thank
you
for
for
bringing
awareness
to
that
and,
and
probably
something
we
need
to
look
at.
B
I
appreciate
that
representative
cochran,
because
I
I
didn't
realize-
and
I
apologize
it's
my
fault-
that
I
didn't
get
my
amendment
on
it-
to
make
sure
that
they
put
down
what
my
the
statement
of
intent
was.
I
even
and-
and
I
kept
saying
that,
but
you
know
sometimes
you
we
just
get
misunderstood.
Sometimes
you
know,
could
we
just
kind
of?
B
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
the
legislation.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
do
voice
the
same
concerns
my
colleague
over
here.
I
think,
there's
several
things
that
probably
could
be
done.
In
fact,
I'm
a
little
bit
familiar
familiar
with
what
you're
talking
about,
because
I
don't
live
that
far
out
of
memphis
and
I've
heard
some
of
those
complaints.
I
What
I
would
like
to
suggest,
mr
representative,
would
you
consider
letting
us
put
this
in
summer
study
and
get
it
in
a
posh
to
where
we
could
find
out
exactly
what
we
need
to
do
to
help
with
the
cost?
Because
you're
exactly
right,
I
mean
if
those
trucks
need
covering,
and
maybe
we
could
put
in
stature
where
they
had
to
cover
the
trucks
or
something
as
they
haul
whatever
we
need
to
do.
I
But
would
you
consider
letting
us
do
a
summer
study,
since
we
are
changing
the
definition
for
what
hazardous
materials
about,
because
I
don't
think
any
of
us
know
too
much
about
what
they
are
without
studying
that?
Would
you
consider
that
and
maybe
bringing
something
back
that
we
could
pass
for
you
to
help
you
with
that
representative.
I
B
I
I
would
just
like
to
make
that
motion
that
we
put
it
in
a
summer
study
and
make
sure
that
we
get
it
in
the
posture
and
if
it
means
the
definition
of
heretics
until
whatever,
but
make
sure
that
we
get
it
right
and
and
come
back
with
something
that
that
would
help
represent
coop,
because
I
think
she
does
have
a
great
concern
and
I
have
the
same
concern.
If
I'd
like
to
make
that
motion.
We.
A
B
A
A
E
Good
morning,
members
you're
recognized
sir.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you,
sir
members
of
the
committee.
This
bill
is
a
bill
that
I
worked
well,
not
just
myself
that
we
worked.
We
had
a
team
of
individuals
that
worked
on
this
bill,
including
the
entire
team
at
t,
deck
that
looked
at
adopting
the
recommendations
of
tasha's
2020
study
on
waste
tires
being
dumped
in
our
not
just
in
our
communities
but
along
ravines.
E
You
know
in
our
waterways
in
our
communities,
I'm
looking
at
some
of
these
headlines.
Loudoun
county
targets,
illegal
tire,
dumping
deputies,
I'm
sorry,
tire
dumping
has
become
a
major
hazard
in
chattanooga
four
charged
in
washington,
county
tire
dumping
thousands
of
tires
collected
by
local
officials
still
on
south
memphis
lot.
E
This
one
right
here
was
to
me
was:
was
interesting
too
used
tires
dumped
in
the
lake
bottom,
not
far
from
quarryville.
I
honestly
don't
know
where
quarryville
is,
but
I
know
I
wouldn't
want
tires
dumped
in
the
lake
in
any
in
any
location,
and
so
we
we
drafted
this
legislation
and
adopted
the
the
studies
of
the
the
recommendations
rather
of
the
2020
study
that
came
out
from
tasser
and
what
those
recommendations
were
were
to
create
a
permit
process
for
used
tire
haulers.
E
Those
recommendations
also
recommended
that
a
registry
be
created
for
violators
whose
permits
have
been
revoked
or
suspended,
and
those
recommendations
also
recommended
that
we
make
sure
that
those
individuals,
you
know
regular
citizens
that
are
hauling
used
tires
for
their
cars
are
don't
have
to
be
permitted
and
members
we
have.
I
got
a
bit
of
a
challenge
with
this
bill.
E
Chairman
yeager
is
carrying
this
bill
and
chairman
yeager
and
chairman
sutherland
have
discussed
the
bill
and
chairman
sutherland
has
agreed
to
open
the
committee
up.
If
this
bill
is
moving
out
of
the
house
and-
and
so
chairman
yeager
is
waiting
on
us
to.
You
know,
move
this
bill
out
of
the
house
and
chairman
yeager.
E
The
timely
filed
amendment
addresses
everything
that
tdec
would
like
to
see
in
the
bill.
However,
the
difference
is
is
that
in
my
timely
filed
amendment
it
says
that
the
public
can
go
after
illegal
tire,
dumpers
in
tedx
version
of
the
amendment
which
was
not
filed,
timely
and
to
the
fault
of
my
office.
E
Let
me
be
clear
to
the
fault
of
my
office.
My
my
assistant
was
out
sick
last
week
and
we
just
didn't
get
it
in
in
time
and
I
take
full
responsibility
for
that
in
the
tdx
version
of
the
amendment.
It
says
that
the
commissioner
of
t
deck
will
be
the
person
that
goes
and
assess
his
fines
and
and
and
challenges
people
in
court
in
regards
to
violations,
and
that's
the
only
differences
now,
but
I
I
in
my
word
to
tdec-
and
I
am
a
person
in
my
word
and
I
want
to
keep
my
word.
E
I
said
that
I
would
like
to
get
their
amendment
on
there,
and
this
is
the
amendment
also
that's
in
the
senate,
and
I
would
I
would
like
to
get
their
amendment
on
it.
But
it
was
untimely
filed
and
I
hope
that
you
all
will
give
some
consideration
to
getting
that
untimely
filed
amendment
on
the
bill
and,
if
not,
you
know,
then
I'm
not
going
to
move
forward
with
the
bill,
because
I
gave
my
word
to
tdec
that
I
would
get
their
amendment
on
the
bill.
A
E
That
is
the
timely
filed
amendment.
Yes,
sir,
oh
six,
eight
and
you
prefer
not
to
put
that
on
at
this
time.
I
would
prefer
to
put
the
untimely
filed
amendment
on
that
that
has
been
filed,
but
I'm
that
has
been
drafted
rather
with
the
drafting
code.
I'm
sorry
I'll
just
make
sure
I'm
clearing
the
language-
yes,
sir,
just
because
I
gave
my
word
and
I'm
to
stick
to
my
work,
all
right
so.
A
G
I
know
it's
a
huge
issue
and
of
course
it
looks
to
me
that
we're
trying
to
create
more
government
by
by
doing
what
your
piece
of
legislation
is
doing
and,
of
course
I
I
see
that
it's
I'm
sure,
you'll
stick
with
the
classy
misdemeanor
offenses
and
I'm
hoping
that
we're
already
charging
folks
and
catching
those
that
are
disposing
of
of
waste
improperly
already.
So,
with
that
it's
I,
I
can't
support
your
your
piece
of
legislation.
G
E
Don't
mind
yourself
and
and
thank
you
for
that
representative
reedy
and
I
appreciate
those
comments.
The
the
the
drafting
of
of
this
legislation
is
in
in
concert
with
t
deck.
Specifically,
you
know
we
had.
We
had
multiple
meetings.
Some
some
of
those
meetings
lasted
a
couple
of
hours.
To
be
honest
with
you,
you
know,
because
I
believe
that
not
just
myself
and
not
just
yourselves
but
t-deck
is,
is
firmly
for
finding
a
solution
to
this.
E
These
illegal
tire
dumpers
and
unfortunately,
you
know
when,
when
we,
while
we
have
not
been
requiring
a
manifest
for
someone,
who's
hauling
tires
to
be
able
to
track
these
tires
and
where
they're
going.
That
is
what
has
actually
or
or
you
know,
making
sure
that
it
is
regulated
that
we're
watching
what's
happening.
That
is
what
has
gotten
us
to
this
point.
I
don't
want
bigger
government.
I
I
promise
you,
I
don't
y'all,
I'm
I'll
keep
on
telling
you
I'm
a
little
bit
of
a
different
kind
of
democrat
right.
I
don't
want
bigger
government.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
I
guess
I
had
to
present
two
other
bills,
so
I'm
behind
a
curve
coming
in
here,
but
I
can
tell
that
you're,
probably
tired
of
the
topic.
I
don't
know
if
if
we
do
this
and
do
it
the
right
way,
we
need
the
amendment,
but
I
don't
think
there's
a
mechanism
to
put
that
on
there.
Am
I
correct
in
saying
that.
C
The
other
side
of
that
is,
are
you
saying
that
the
biggest
problem,
or
one
of
the
bigger
problems
on
why
we
have
so
many
tires
that
are
junked
or
thrown
out
here
are
abandoned,
is
because
you
have
carriers
that
are
going
from
point
a
to
point
b
to
deliver
the
tires
and
they're
getting
paid
to
deliver
them,
and
but
they
have
to
pay
to
where
they
dispose
them
of,
and
so,
if
they
can
cut
their
load
in
half
they're
going
to
make
twice
as
much
money.
Is
that
what
you're
saying
representative
parker?
Thank
you.
E
E
C
I
don't
know
seemed
like:
maybe
there
would
be
a
better
mechanism
of
doing
that.
The
place
that
you
pick
them
up
would
write
to
check
to
the
disposal
place
and
then
it
wouldn't
be
an
issue
anymore,
but
I
under
I'm
right
with
you
in
in
solving
the
problem-
I
I
really
am.
I
don't.
I
don't
know
if
there's
time
to
get
it
done
now,.
D
I'll
just
kind
of
echo
what
I'm
hearing
is-
and
you
know
I'm
all
for
you
know
I
I
have
problems
too.
Sometimes
I
miss
amendment
deadlines
and
here
in
the
untimely
filed,
but
the
feel
that
I'm
getting
and
and
where
I
stand
on
this,
I
don't
know
that
I
can
support
it
with
or
without
the
amendment
the
more
I
hear
about
it.
D
When
I
came
in,
it
does
to
me
seem
to
expand
and
it's
an
issue
we
need
to
address,
but
I'm
not
sure,
like
the
previous
representative,
I'm
good
with
this
process
here.
I
would
like
to
have
more
discussion
and
know
more
about
what
we're
looking
at,
but
you
know
that's
my
two
cents
regarding
the
the
untimely
filed
amendment
and
where
I'll
be
on
the
on
the
legislation
with
or
without
it.
Okay.
Thank
you.
J
I
think-
and
I
was
going
to
say
the
same-
I
mean
waste
tires-
are
an
entire
illegal
tire.
Dumping
is
a
huge
issue.
I
see
it
in
my
district
also,
but
but
I
do
think
it
might
be
something
good
to
kind
of
get
everybody
together.
Tdec
everybody
involved
and,
let's
just
kind
of
see
what
would
be
a
good,
workable
system.
You
know
making
sure
that
we've
got
proper
exemptions
in
there.
For
you
know,
if
you've
got
a
you
know,
obviously
farmers
use
tires
a
lot
for
for
hauling
hay
and
things
like
you
know.
J
So
if
you've
got
a
farmer
going
down
the
road
with
it
with
a
bunch
of
tires,
just
making
sure
we've
got
proper,
proper
exemptions
there,
but
I
don't
think
that
your
concept
is
a
bad
one.
I
mean
again
there's
so
many
bad
actors
in
that
specific
field,
doing
exactly
what
you
said,
picking
them
up
and
then
they
go
find
a
ditch
somewhere
and
dump
them.
So
it
seems
like
there's.
There
would
be
a
logical,
manageable
way
to
do
this.
I
just
I
don't
know
if
we're
there
just
yet
with
this.
J
The
way
it's
written
currently-
but
I
just
want
you
know,
the
concept
I
think
is-
is
a
good
one.
If
we
could
kind
of
get
everybody
together
and
figure
out
how
how
how
to
do
that
without
making
government
huge,
but
in
the
same
way
holding
those
people
responsible.
You
know
if
they're,
if
they're,
if
they're
providing
a
service,
make
sure
they're
doing
it
in
a
responsible
way.
That's
not
hurting
the
environment
so
but.
A
A
A
F
F
A
I
think
the
the
10
000
foot
view
for
me
is
that
we,
we
all
need
to
remember
why
we're
here.
We
need
to
remember
that
the
folks
out
there
are
in
charge
per
our
constitution.
The
citizens
are
in
charge.
They
elect
us
to
make
sure
that
their
rights
and
their
liberties
are
protected.
That's
what
we're
here,
for
we
then
appoint
commissions.
A
We
appoint
departments
to
do
the
work
of
the
people
and
when
they
get
out
of
line
or
when,
when
the
citizens
feel
like
they're
out
of
line,
then
that's
in
our
laps
to
deal
with
that
and
that's
where
our
position
is
right.
Now,
as
representatives
and
senators
here.
That's
what
we're
here
for
and
this
bill
was
brought
because
so
many
hunters,
from
across
the
state,
felt
like
the
tennessee
wildlife
resources
agency,
overstepped
their
bounds
in
ignoring
the
will
of
the
people
and
did
so
in
in
some
ways
that
were
certainly
questionable.
A
They
produced
surveys
that
had
questionable
results.
They
then
told
us
they
would
rely
on
surveys
to
make
decisions
even
this
spring
and
then
ignored
those
same
surveys
that
they
themselves
collected
and
directed
much
to
again
the
amazement
of
the
hunting
public,
and
so
this
bill
was
brought
to
again
remind
the
commission
that
the
people
are
in
charge
and
that
they
have
to
listen
to
the
people
and
it's
our
job
to
keep
them
in
in
check.
A
A
A
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
maintain
diversity
in
our
fleet
of
energy
sources,
and
I've
even
heard
the
the
head
of
tva
say
this
in
the
last
few
years,
when
we've
had
power
grids
around
the
country,
see
some
significant
disruption
almost
to
a
catastrophic
level,
because
their
energy
mix
got
too
off
base,
and
I
think
we
want
to
maintain
our
diversity,
and
so
that's
all
this
resolution.
Does
it
just
suggests
to
the
tba
that
they
maintain
that
coal-fired
pleat,
a
fleet
of
energy
sources
until
adequate
replacements,
are
obtained.
F
G
So,
of
course,
the
discussion
right
now,
if
nobody's
been
keeping
up
with
the
cumberland
city,
fossil
fuel
plant
there
within
the
next
couple
years,
talking
about
shuttering
that
plant
and
converting
it
over
to
natural
gas.
And
with
that
I
agree
on
one
aspect,
because
in
my
district
humphreys
county
and
the
new
johnsonville
plant,
they
have
done
just
that.
They
shuttered
that
plant
turned
it
over
to
a
gas
gas-powered
natural
gas-powered
plant
for
the
whole
reason
making
steam
for
cameras.
G
It
used
to
be
dupont
with
the
titanium
dioxide
plant
there
and
they
were
under
contract,
and
that's
the
only
reason
that
one
is
actually
somewhat
alive.
But
once
again,
I
I
appreciate
the
senate
joint
resolution
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
taking
care
of
tennesseans,
especially
during
you
know
the
winters
that
we
don't
get
them
all
the
time,
but
when
we
get
them,
I
see
both
stacks
over
there
in
cumberland
city.
Just
pouring
out
the
you
know,
the
fumes
come
that
it
was
a
1990,
the
epa
clean
air
act.
G
They
put
the
scrubbers
in
place
where
it
used
to
be
you'd
watch
the
skies
fill
with
a
yellow.
You
know
from
the
sulfur
content,
but
the
disguise
is
they're
very
clean
at
this
time
and
I'd
hate
to
think
that
we
need
to
shudder
it
just
because
of
what's
going
on
in
washington
d.c.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
F
A
That
brings
us
to
our

It
allows
them
to
move
the
product
with
up
to
five
percent
thc
to
a
manufacturing
facility
for
the
purposes
of
remediation
and
creating
compliant
products
for
consumers.
This
is
a
legal
protection
for
our
producers.
We
have
accepted
an
amendment
from
the
department
of
safety
to
satisfy
their
issues
with
the
bill.
We
worked
on
this
for
a
little
while
to
make
sure
make
sure
they
were
good
and
that
my
amendment
requires
the
person
transporting
to
maintain
proof
of
a
growers
license
from
the
department
in
the
transport
vehicle.
D
A
Thank
you,
sir,
and
we
do
have
a
couple
of
folks
that
are
requested
to
provide
testimony,
and
so
we
will
go
without
objection.
We're
going
to
go
out
obsession
to
hear
from
them.
We
are
out
of
session.
The
first
on
our
list
is
ms
stroker
from
the
department
of
safety.
If
you'll
come
up
and
identify
yourself
and
we'll
give
you
three
minutes
to
tell
us
what
what
you
have
for
us
to
hear
today,.
A
C
The
sheriff's
also
did
you
mention.
Are
we
talking
about
we're,
not
gonna.
Do
that?
Okay,
all
right,
so
I
think
we're
good.
I
don't
if
anybody
has
any
questions
for
me
and
how
this
affects
the
industry,
I'm
glad
to
answer
them.
I
thought
I
might
need
to
testify,
but
I
think
we've
spoken
to
everybody
about
it
and
representative
hurt's
done
a
nice
job
of
explaining
what
it
does.
A
C
D
Thank
you
for
that
representative.
We're
talking
about
smaller
amounts,
usually
they're
in
you
know
they
could
be
in
gallons
or
20
gallons,
but
it's
a
very
thick
concentrate
of
what's
called
the
rough
term
is
called
crude
oil
and
it
you
know
it
could
vary
on
size.
It
could
be
a
a
couple
of
large
containers,
but
for
the
most
part
I
don't
know
of
any
that
are
transported
on
large
trucks.
I
do
know
that
they're
transported
on
smaller
vehicles.
D
Yes,
sir,
that's
the
way
I
understand
that
is
the
product
that
is
in
process,
which
there
is
a
crude
and
then
there's
another
step,
the
more
it's
refined,
the
more
it
comes
into
remediation
and
legal
it.
The
the
farthest
out
of
remedia
out
of
compliance,
would
be
in
that
crude
oil
form
the
way.
The
way
it
looks
and
that
this
permit,
along
with
the
proof
of
grower's,
license
that
they
would
carry,
would
cover
that.
D
A
F
Mr
chairman,
I
assume
this
is
our
last
committee.
Yes,

like

a
pleasure

serve
with

an
excellent
job.
Thank
you.

always
fair

willing
to

to
everybody,
so
I
appreciate
that
very
much.
Thank
you
I
enjoyed
serving
on
this
committee
representative.
