WALLACE –– Last week, the Shoshone Board of County Commissioners met with Chris Magart, the manager of Amerifirst Portalet & Pump Service (APP) – known throughout the Silver Valley as Tam’s Traveling Toilets, to approve a lease between the business and the county. 

As per the signed lease agreement, APP will pay the county $5,000 for the year-long lease and plans to utilize the 1.25-acre parcel as a centralized storage area for the business. 

The property sits at the west end of Commerce Drive in Smelterville, lying between SMC Family Medicine and the Smelterville Treatment Plant – it was claimed over to the county by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality as part of the ASARCO settlement in a transfer of property.
