DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Track Line, LLC is a Texas based company that is dropping off hazardous materials in Marion County within CSX Transportation, Inc.’s property. This location is within a Spring Protection Overlay Zone (SPOZ), zoned as Agriculture (A-1), with a land use designation requiring Preservation. This property is also surrounded by the Greenway State Recreation Area to the north, springs and the Rainbow River to the south, and residential properties on both sides.
Track Line, LLC has not sought Marion County’s approval for its planned operation but still has caused many thousands of creosote-treated railroad ties to be deposited not only on its proposed site, but also on numerous other parcels adjacent to the proposed site. This massive accumulation resulted in Marion County issuing CSX Transportation, Inc. and Track Line, LLC, a notice of violation of Marion County Code Chapter 16, Article III, Sec. 16-92. Track Line, LLC has not sought any required re-zoning or permitting from Marion County and is therefore not allowed to conduct any heavy industrial or commercial use on this property.
Marion County has written a letter in opposition of the permit for Track Line, LLC’s application for Air Permit No. 0830196-001-AC.
