It is more complicated than was explained last month. We do contact Peoria County Sheriff’s Office, and they contact the state police to arrange for portable scales. The PCHD is also concerned about the issue with rock salt next year with the proposed river closure. If you have storage facilities, they suggest you fill them after this season is over.
