“If I bring you a snake skin, what would you do with it?” asked E. P. Luke, supervisor representative on the planning commission.
Kuncewicz replied that the skin would first be pqt into a lime solution, then taken out and washed, next put into a tanning solution and finally dried and glazed.
In reply to questions, he said he has no plans to manufacture leather items such as wallets and belts although expansion into that type of operation would not be impossible.
“How are you going to handle pollution? What are we going to say to people worried about the Thornton River?” asked Luke.
“I have all the answers,” Kuncewicz replied. He said nothing would be dumped into the river except drinkable water. There will be no solid waste, only liquids, with all chemicals precipitated out and saved to be reused before disposal of the liquids, said Kuncewicz, noting that he previously worked in a similar operation in 1948 and ’49.
He added that the plant will employ only three or four people. "It’s not a thing you can visualize getting big.”
“What will people bring to you? Not dead animals?” asked Luke.
“No, no, no—just skins,” said Kuncewicz. Most will be fozen, he said, for storage in refrigeration units.
Allen Stokes asked if a settling basin will be used.
Kuncewicz answered that one might possibly be required to remove salt from liquids before disposal. “I don’t have a ready answer (to salt removal) but I know there is an answer,” he said, adding that he is willing to meet any requirements the planning commission stipulates.
“There won’t be any smell?” David Thornhill inquired.
“None whatsoever,” according to Kuncewicz.
