He explained trash disposal problems effecting the San Gabriel Valley and the advantages of the waste- to-energy plants. Startup of the energy plant is projected for 1988 or 89. Mr. Weartherill introduced Joseph Schilli, Project Manager for HDR Techserv, Pacific Waste Management's engineers for the Irwindale plant, and Dr. Alan Eishenroeder, Specialist in Air Quality Analysis, and Dr. Ron Lofy, Specialist in Ground Water Quality to answer questions from Council. Councilman King asked concerning emmissions offsets and how this offset would be obtained. He questioned how much more the air would be polluted by the plant and the diesel trucks that would be coming into the valley. He also asked about the possibility of locating the plant where the air movement is better. He expressed his concern regarding the effect on the air quality and water that this plant will have and questioned the recycling and availability of the water required daily. Councilman McNeill asked about where the waste would come from for the plant since the surrounding cities are against the plant and against participating in providing waste.

Councilman Gibson asked about how the financing for the plant will be continued and if Pacific Waste Management expects their bond issue to be called. He requested that the Council receive a copy of their long term contract. Councilman Izell asked that the trash in the San Gabriel Valley be compared to the trash that*s burned in Florida and what fuel is used to burn the trash at waste-to- energy plants. He also asked that an example be given of how much 2.8 million gallons water is and also how the air in Lancaster would compare to here. Council further discussed the original request by PWM to cities to contract for trash from the cities, because this would be necessary to secure bond financing. They questioned why this was no longer necessary. Council expressed their approval of the water plan that would clean up contaminated wells. Mayor White thanked the representatives of PWM for coming and explained the position already taken by the Council opposing the waste-to-energy plant. 00- PACIFIC WASTE MANAGEMENT PRENSENTA- TION STAFF REPORT COUNCIL DISCUSSION BIB] 37652-U01 1985-U02 09-U02 18-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO3794-U03 FO9391-U03 DO9423-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 1/30/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1985 09 18 CC MIN;¢f4ÂÅREGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK SEPTEMBER 18, 1985 PAGE FOUR ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor White declared Oral Communications open and invited those wishing to speak to come forward.
