Description
Citizens Enviromental Advisory Committee Mtg 041421
A
I
don't
have
a,
I
don't,
have
a
list
of
the
members
present,
but
I
guess
any
the
members
president,
if
they
could
announce
themselves
for
the
record.
A
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
would
be
approval
of
the
minutes.
John.
I
I
have
failed
to
receive
a
copy
of
the
minutes.
I
don't
know
if
they
can
be
circulated
now
or
if
anyone,
if,
if
people
have
been
given
advanced
notice
of
the
minutes
from
our
last
meeting.
B
I
just
sent
them.
Let
me
verify
I
just
sent
them
at
1205.
A
A
A
C
A
A
Okay,
unless
anyone
needs
more
time,
I
would
ask
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
from
the
march
3rd
2021
meeting.
C
A
Hi
the
motion
carries
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
and
bring
this
up
the
next
the
next
item
on
the
agenda.
It
would
be
any
report
on
citizens
communications.
Do
we
have
anything
on
that?
Mr
porter.
A
Okay.
The
next
item
then,
would
be
item
number
five
discussion
and
possible
action
on
recommended
changes
to
the
hazardous
materials
ordinance
to
implement
distance
requirements
from
schools,
as
well
as
to
develop
a
recommendation
on
a
distance
requirement
from
industrial
zones
for
future
school
sighting.
B
Mr
chair,
we
have
some
representatives
from
utilities,
so
I
asked
if
the
committee
would
consider
maybe
taking
item
six
first
and
then
and
then
we
could
return
to
five.
No.
A
Not
a
problem
since
they're
ready,
we
discussion.
B
Utilities,
director
arturo
garcia
and
the
assistant
utilities
director
mike
rogers
and
at
the
last
council
meeting,
I
believe
it
was
the
last
council
meeting
there
was
a
motion
made
to
have
the
seak
review
the
I.
B
Reviewed
the
xeriscaping
ordinance
that
they
had
passed
siac
with
working
with
utilities
on
coming
up
with
a
a
incentive
program
to
have
industrial
sites,
use
more
xeriscaping,
and
so
I
guess
I'll
turn
this
over
to
mr
garcia
or
mr
rogers.
E
Good
afternoon,
everybody
thank
you
very
much
for
the
invitation
to
this
meeting
and
as
far
as
the
desirescaping
ordinance
incentives,
I
and
the
position
is,
I
know
it's
going
to
drop
our
revenues
and
it's
one
matter
of
them:
conserving
water
and
minimizing
the
overflow
from
irrigation
systems.
I
think
that's
a
benefit.
E
I
would
need
to
see
what
kind
of
considerations
you're
wanting
to
create
as
far
as
incentives
to
promote
it,
and
I
can
look
at
what
we've
done
in
the
past
and
I
would
have
to
defer
to
mr
rogers
to
see
if
he's
familiar,
what
we've
done
in
the
past
right.
Do
you
want
to.
E
D
No,
we
we
have
no
incentive
program
in
place.
I
I
think
we
have
discussed
possible
different
rates
for
irrigation
meters.
The
the
biggest
incentive
is
for
people
to
do
something
is
usually
money.
So
when
irrigation
water
is
relatively,
our
water
prices
are
relatively
cheap.
D
Oh,
that's,
that's
something
I
guess
we
could
research.
E
One
item
that
I
know
that
we've
done
in
the
past
as
far
as
the
in,
if
they,
if
they
have
a
current
irrigation
system
and
they
want
to
go
to
xyrescaping
and
reduce
the
amount
of
water
that
they're
using,
we
may
be
able
to
give
them
a
credit
of
some
sort.
But
I
need
to
evaluate
how
it's
going
to
affect
our
fees
and
revenue.
A
A
I
have
a
question,
sir,
when
you,
when
you
mention
some
sort
of
incentive,
this
is
on
the
water
bill
itself
or
you're
talking
about
other
some
other
type
of
incentive.
E
Well,
what
I
would
do
is
set
up
some
sort
of
program
for
these
existing
irrigation
systems
that
are
maybe
wasting
too
much
water
to
help
us
conserve
water
and
that
way,
if
they
do
something
and
reduce
it
to
where
they
use
different
methods
of
irrigating
bubbler
systems.
Instead
of
these
spray
heads
sure
and
where
it
you
know,
whatever
they
spent,
we
can
give
them
a
credit
on
their
bill,
but
it's
not
a
monetary
payment.
E
It's
just
a
credit
on
their
bill,
for
maybe
the
past
history
maybe
go
back
a
month,
two
months
worth
of
consumption
that
they
did
where
now
they're
going
to
use
less
flow,
but
they're
not
going
to
be
pouring
water
out
into
the
street,
like
in
some
cases
that
we've
seen.
But
what
I'd
like
to
see
is
be
able
to
get
these
irrigators
that
are
just
wasting
water
to
conserve
it
and
if
they
do,
that
effort,
maybe
reward
them
in
some
way.
E
But
I
need
to
see
how
it
impacts
our
revenue
flow
because
it
is
going
to
affect
our
revenue.
So
I
need
to
balance
it
with
what
they're
doing
to
save
water.
At
the
same
time,
make
sure
we
get
a
good
cash
flow
because
we
still
need
to
maintain
an
operator
system
so
that
that's
something
that
I'm
thinking
of
this.
D
It's
also
it's
a
complicated
problem
in
that
some
of
the
large
industrial
sites
they
they
big
warehouses
they
like
to
landscape
the
outside,
but
the
internal
domestic
water
use
is
very
low.
So
you
have
these
big
sites
and
we
have
low
water
usage.
It
means
the
water
is
being
stay
stale,
so
we
could
come
up
with
some
people
doing
xeroscaping
and
then,
in
order
to
keep
the
water
fresh,
we're
going
to
end
up
having
to
flush
it
down
the
drain.
D
So
we
have
one
side.
We
have
to
have
these
large
lines
for
fire,
hydrants
and
stuff.
We
have
these
industrial
parks
that
have
very
low
domestic
use.
The
irrigation
in
a
way
helps
us
not
flush
to
keep
the
freshness
in
the
water.
I
mean
it's
a
complicated.
You
have
to
look
at
these
areas
and
there's
multiple
layers
there.
D
A
And
currently,
as
things
are,
how
often
does
that
have
to
happen
in
these
industrial
areas
and
I'm
imagining
you're
talking
about
these,
these
warehouse
districts
and
things
of
that
nature?
Is
that
really
what
we're
talking
about
here.
D
Yeah
things
like
the
the
mines
road,
you
know
large
area,
we
have
a
few
residential
spots,
but
by
the
time
you
get
out
to
mind
roads.
Several
of
those
I
believe
black
diamond
is
one
where
we
we
have
to
have
flushers
out
there
and
how.
A
Long,
how
often
does
that
happen?
The
the
flushing
of
these
lines
for
to
get
rid
of
the
steel
water.
D
Well,
it
depends
on
the
site,
but
it
happens
daily
one
or
two
times
a
day.
Sometimes
we've
had
some
of
them
operate.
You
know
every
two
hours.
E
B
And
and
art,
and
and
and
mike
if,
if,
if
I
may
I
mean,
are,
are
you
I,
you
know
you
mentioned,
maybe
some
sort
of
incentive,
but
I
I
didn't
get
the
impression
that
this
had
to
be
retroactive
from
council,
maybe
just
on
new
development.
But
maybe
I
didn't
interpret
that
correctly.
E
So
I'd
want
to
see
a
you
know
like
a
benefit
to
everyone,
not
just
the
new
development,
because
everybody's
going
to
be
saying
how
come
he's
getting
incentives
and
we're
not
giving
us
anything
because
we'd
like
for
them
to
fix
their
systems,
especially
the
ones
that
are
oversprayed.
I
know
you've
seen
that
situation.
C
I'm
sorry:
what
is
it
for
for
the
for
them
to
get.
E
A
typical
irrigation
tab
will
cost
you
anywhere
from
the
smaller
system
would
be
maybe
about
800
and
more
complex
systems
can
just
the
cap
itself
can
cause
like
two
thousand
dollars
just
for
the
installation
of
the
backflow
and
the
meter
itself.
C
Would
it
be
possible
to
not
mandate
or
perhaps
encourage?
I
don't
know
if
mandate
is
too
strong
a
word?
I
think
you
use
the
word
bubbler
systems
for
new
developments
of
warehouses,
warehousing
areas
so
that
they
wouldn't
put
the
the
sprinkler,
I'm
not
sure
what
they're
using
now
but
for
future
warehouse
development.
Could
there
be
something
in
place
where
they
would
have
to
provide
bubbler
systems
and
just
make
it
a
little
bit
more
environmentally
friendly
as
you're
trying
to
avoid
that
overspray?
E
I
I
would
agree
with
that.
I
think
it's
something
that
can
be
stressed
to
where
believe
it's
already
being
addressed,
but
I
think
it
would
be
a
strong
point
to
bring
up
to
eliminate
the
problem
of
overspray.
A
Well
with
that
gentlemen,
I
really
appreciate
you
all
showing
up
to
make
this
presentation
to
us.
I'm
sure
we'll
be
hearing
from
you
in
the
short
future,
and
you
know
I
I
think
this
is
a
subject
that
deserves
certainly
deserves
our
attention
and
in
consideration.
A
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
go
ahead
and
provide
you
more
information
later
in
your
later
meetings
as
we
compile
and
see.
What
is
it
that
we
can
offer
here
to
assist?
Thank.
A
B
A
C
B
We
on
the
last
meeting
we
we,
you
know
briefly,
went
over
it
and
and
the
I
think
the
committee
wanted
to
to
look.
Do
some
independent
research
on
it
and
try
and
figure
out
what
would
be
an
acceptable
distance,
and
I
know
that
joanne
had
emailed
me
some
some
items
and
it
looks
like
she
she's
done
some
research.
C
Well,
I
have
tried
to,
but
I
commend
anyone
who
works
with
hazardous
materials.
It
is
such
a
complicated
issue
and
I
don't
know
I
don't
feel
very
educated
on
it.
I
tried
to
read
up
on
it.
I
also
sent
you
something
that
trisha
cortez
emailed
me.
John.
Did
you
happen?
I
know
it
was
kind
of
late.
C
She
sent
it
this
morning
only
because
we've
been
trying
to
work
with
uist,
especially
with
mueller
elementary
being
so
so
much
in
the
industrial
area
and,
as
tricia
mentioned,
it's
cortez
with
real
grand
international
study
center,
there's
more
schools
that
are,
I
think,
going
to
be
built.
C
B
D
C
B
B
So
this
was
a
map.
I
think
that
yeah.
This
was
an
item
that
we
talked
about
a
couple
years
ago
and
at
that
time
they
had
requested
that
a
two
mile
radius.
C
Yes,
john,
that's
good!
Okay,
can
it
be
enlarged
or
just
too
small
for
me,
okay,
thank
you!
Well,
as
you
can
see,
and
at
the
top
I'm
not
sure
john
does
it
say
249
sites
out
of
600
something
yeah
and
that's
within
the
two
miles
of
mueller
and
that's
sort
of
scary
now
granted
those
have
already
happened,
and
I
know
that,
according
to
the
hazardous
materials
ordinance,
I
know
people
are
in
place
to
monitor.
C
I
think
I
read
that
you
must
you
have
to
get
a
permit
every
year,
so
I
know
the
city
probably
has
a
handle,
or
I
would
hope
has
a
handle
on.
That
is
a
huge
I'm
overwhelmed
by
by
that
picture
and
overwhelmed
by
what
it
would
require
to
just
continue
enforcement
of
this.
Can
you
speak
to
that
at
all
john?
How
is
enforcement
done
on
that.
D
B
Then
we
they
have
to
keep
their
inventories
up
to
date,
it's
all
online,
but
then
our
inspectors
go
out
and
and
they
also
have
to
have
a
site
plan
and
then
so
our
inspectors
go
out
and
they
use
that
inventory
to
cross-reference
what
they
actually
have
in
their
warehouses.
And
then
they
check
for
condition
of
the
you
know
the
drums
and
the
packages
and
to
make
sure
that
it's
being
stored.
C
B
And
then
they'd
go
out.
We
we
tried
a
minimum
to
hit
each
warehouse
at
least
four
times
a
year,
but
but
we'll
hit
them
more
than
that.
If,
if
there's
any
issues,
you
kind.
B
I
mean
there
are
some
companies
that
are
very,
very,
very
good
at
at
storage
and
compliance,
and
then
there
are
companies
that
I
don't
want
to
say
are
deficient.
I
mean
we
have
issued
some
citations,
but
but
usually
it's
a
not.
B
Or
their
site
plan
those
type
of
things,
but
we'll
we'll
go
and
inspect
those
areas
or
those
warehouses.
More
often
so.
C
B
Schedule-
and
this
is
not
when
I
say
schedule-
I
don't
mean
that
you
know
if
we're
going
to
go
and
inspect
on
a
particular
day
that
quarter
it
is.
It
is
somewhat
random
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
they're
complying
but
yeah
again
we
try
and
hit
each
warehouse
at
least
four
times
a
year.
C
B
Go
ahead.
Well,
I
was
gonna
say
with
this
two
mile
radius.
I
mean
that
is
a
lot
and
obviously
that
would
make
sense,
because
the
bulk
of
the
developments
in
this
area
are
it
is
industrial
and-
and
I
think,
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
site
distance
requirements
from
schools,
I
think
two
miles
is
probably
not
a
equitable
or
a
reasonable
site
distance.
B
You
know,
sobs
and
sexually
oriented
businesses
aren't
two
miles,
so
I
I
think
I
think
two
miles
is
a
bit
excessive
and
that's
just
my
opinion
to
the
committee.
C
I
I
happen
to
have
some
information
about
a
builder.
I
I'm
not
able
to
disclose
who
gave
it
to
me,
but
I've
been
trying
to
research
with
national
home
builders
association
just
to
get
some
idea.
Some
of
the
builders
do
have
2
000
square
feet.
They
cannot
build
within
a
2,
000
square
feet,
radius
of
a
known,
hazardous
chemical
and
that's
very
that's
half
a
mile.
So
that
seems
very
small
again.
C
The
other
thing
that
I
guess
for
the
purpose
of
this
conversation
is,
I
think
it
would
be
wise
to
work
with
uist,
since
they
are
the
ones
who
would
be
building
schools
here
and
maybe
get
some
feedback
from
them
as
well.
But
I
I
don't
know
I'm
concerned
because,
for
example,
green
ranch,
those
who
aren't
familiar
with
the
residential
properties
out
here.
C
Let
me
just
share:
there's
wolf,
creek
green
ranch,
lobota
to
name
a
few,
and
they
only
have
one
entrance
and
one
exit,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
this
conversation
has
come
about
for
years
because
of
that
very
concerned.
Should
there
be
a
problem
with
a
you
know,
a
hazardous
chemical
that
you
know
some
reason.
There's
an
accident
or
whatever
and
of
course
there
is
a
school
and
that's
what
concerned
many
people
and
as
we
get
going
to
more
schools
are
built.
We
must
be
cognizant.
C
C
Oh
that's
my
feedback
on
that.
I
also
through
trish
cortez,
because
she
does
this
research
on
a
regular
basis,
and
I
depend
on
her
for
her
research
in
that
email.
John,
she
mentioned
there
are
plants
located
within
the
mines.
Road
industrial
zone,
like
medline,
flash
midwest
sterilization
that
are
releasing
significant
carcinogenic
emissions
into
the
atmosphere.
Ethylene
oxide
and
laredo's
plant
is
the
third
largest
emitter
in
the
country.
B
Yeah-
and
I
I
I
I
under
our
permit,
we
have
to-
we
have
to
inspect.
I
think
it's
title
three,
and
so
I
think
that
shows
that
that
facility-
and
it
shows,
I
want
to
say
another
facility
out
in
the
unitec
area,
but
that
medline,
I
think
that
those
numbers
are
coming
from-
are
being
reported
from
the
national
branch
of
that,
because
they
don't
actually
do
the
processing
there.
B
Yeah
and-
and
so
I
I
was
surprised
too,
when
I
was
looking
at
the
air
quality
and
then
we
go
to
inspect
and
that
doesn't
fall
under
by
the
way
that
doesn't
fall
under
the
the
hazmat
permit,
because
they're
not
storing
that
there,
and
so
I'm
thinking
that
that
those
numbers
that
and-
and
I
think
tricia
got
that
from
the
title.
Three
is
probably
the
national
emission
from
from
that
company.
A
And
I
I
think
for
purposes
of
our
discussion,
I
think
it
may
be
useful
to
differentiate
between
you
know:
locations
that
store
hazardous
materials
as
opposed
to
locations
that
actually,
you
know,
emit
some
sort
of
hazardous
material.
You
know,
because
you
know
where
hazardous
materials
are
stored,
whether
it's
potentiality
or
some.
You
know
some
dangerous
condition
to
arise.
Usually
it
doesn't,
as
opposed
to
you
know
the
situation
that
you
just
described,
miss
miss
beeland.
You
know
where
there's
some
place,
that's
you
know
actively
putting
out
something
noxious
on
a
daily
basis.
A
I
think
it
may
be
useful
to
differentiate
between
those
two
different
types
of
sites,
because
I
see
that
there
may
be
a
potential
problem
since
laredo
is
has
warehouses
and
warehouses
that
are
licensed
to
house
hazardous
material
everywhere.
A
You
know,
and
so
you
know,
if
we
I
I'm
afraid
that
if
we
fight
off
more
that
we
can
chew
we'll
end
up
with
something.
That's
really
something
of
a
blunt
instrument.
That's
maybe
not
so
useful
and
keeping
you
know
as
far
as
keeping
children
safe
and
allowing
us
places
to
build
schools,
which
we
apparently
need
to
do
all
the
time.
B
Yeah,
if
let
me
add
to
that,
I
I
completely
agree
with
that.
I
mean
I
think
trisha
did
did
a
nice
presentation
and-
and
I
agree
with
some
of
the
things
that
she
talks
about,
but
yeah
just
for
the
committee's
information
when.
B
About
epa,
they
regulate
pollution,
they
regulate
emissions,
they
regulate
hazardous
waste,
hazardous
waste
emissions
and
pollution
is
not
the
same
thing
as
hazardous
materials.
Hazardous
materials
is
regulated
by
by
the
city,
obviously,
but
is
regulated
by
the
department
of
transportation
and
so
under
federal
and
under
states,
and
even
under
city
law.
There's
a
clear
difference
between
those
those
you
know
those
those
chemicals.
C
Just
a
suggestion-
and
I
just
want
to
add
one
last
thought-
listening
to
about
the
enforcement
side
of
things
four
times
a
year
and
maybe
more
and
so
forth-
it's
such
a
daunting
task
to
try
to
keep
up
with
all
of
these
sites.
I
can't
even
imagine
the
volume
of
work
that's
required,
but
if
we
do
decide
on
a
distance,
perhaps
as
a
committee
I'm,
I
definitely
think
for
future
development.
It
should
be.
It
should
be
considered,
at
least
a
mile,
to
give
I'm
even
nervous
about
that.
C
I
realize
there's
already
places
that
store
hazardous
materials.
This
is
a
very
difficult
task
that
we
are
faced
with,
because
I
don't
feel
like
I'm
very
knowledgeable,
I'm
just
beginning
to
research
more
on
this,
but
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
poor
traffic
flow
that
we
have
right
now
and
I
know
in
two
years
we're
supposed
to
get
a
connector,
but
in
the
meantime
there
is
a
school.
That's
going
to
get
started.
Construction
will
start.
B
B
C
B
And
I
know
that
part
of
this
motion
was
to
talk
about
site
planning
for
the
schools.
The
problem
is,
that's
a
separate
governmental
entity,
and
so
the
city
really
doesn't
have
the
ability
to
tell
schools
where
they
can
and
cannot
be,
and
you
know
I
think
everybody
sees
the
issues
with
that.
B
You
know
if
you
drive
down
any
east-west
major
connector
and
I'll
use
del
mar,
for
example,
they've
got
schools
on
del
mar,
and
people
rely
on
del
mar
to
either
get
to
luke
20
or
to
35
and
you've
got
you
know
three
or
four
school
zones
that
slow
down
traffic
in
the
morning
and
slow
down
traffic
in
the
in
the
afternoon,
and
I
think
we
all
realize
that
those
probably
were
not
good
site
locations
for
schools.
B
You
know,
ideally,
you
would
want
the
schools
in
the
neighborhoods,
but
when
you
have
major
connectors
that
people
rely
on
to
transverse
the
the
city,
that's
not
good
planning
and
the
reason
why
that's
not
good
planning
is
because
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
tell
them
where
they
can
or
cannot
build.
B
What
happens
is
a
landowner
says
I'll,
donate
this
land
for
a
school
and
that's
where
uisd
or
lisb
builds
it.
So
we
are
very
limited
in
in
that.
A
A
I
would
expect
we'd
be
talking
about
this
in
in
coming
meetings,
but
for
to
for
purposes
of
today's
discussion.
Does
anyone
have
anything
else
to
add
to
this
discussion.
A
Okay,
I'll
assume
that
we'll
be
moving
on
having
that
said.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
would
be
item
number
seven
discussion
of
litter
issues
along
kilim
industrial
boulevard.
Does
someone
have
some
presents.
B
I
I
do
I
know
I
do
know
on
this
issue
and
john.
You
may
want
to
speak
to
it
as
well,
but
I
do
know
that
the
city
had
either
cleaned
up
this
area
or
had
was
going
to
hire
a
contractor
to
clean
up
this
area.
So,
like
yes,.
C
C
C
C
C
C
I
guess
it
was
yesterday
and
parked
ourselves
alongside
the
road
and
wanted
to
see
what
it
looked
like,
and
so
I
sent
john
these
pictures
and
what
I
noticed
or
what
my
husband
and
I
observed
is
that
we
couldn't
see
any
drivers,
so
it's
like,
I
think,
john
or
someone
mentioned
before
they're
actually
pulling
over
and
resting,
because
we
probably
don't
have
enough
resting
areas
for
these
truck
drivers.
So
if
you
can
continue
down
with
the
pictures
I
mean
some
of
them
are
all.
C
C
C
Yeah,
so
I
thought:
hey,
we
get
some
good
stuff
around
here
too,
but
notice.
It's
sad
because
there's
trash,
but
I
will
say
in
my
email
to
john,
I
didn't
see
any
jugs
of
liquid
that
used
to
be
what
we
thought
looked
like
urine,
but
I'm
just
saying
they
appeared
to
be,
but
you
can
see
they're
still
trash
and
I
know
when
causes
some
of
that.
You'll
also
notice,
as
john
mentioned
before,
it
appears
the
killams
are
opening
or
getting
some
clearing
done
for
future
development.
C
E
B
B
I
I
just
don't
know
if
that
was
public
works
or
if,
if
a
contractor
did
that
yeah.
C
A
Wonderful,
mr
porter,
the
item
number
eight
on
this
agenda.
It
calls
for
a
discussion
of
items
for
next
meeting.
I
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add
or
anyone
has
anything
to
add
on
item
number.
Eight.
B
A
Definitely
yeah
okay!
Well!
If
if,
if
no
one
has
anything
further,
I
would
move
them
into
the
next
would
be
adjournment.
I'd
die
if
I'd
make
a
motion
for
that
to
adjourn
this
meeting
until
our
next
regular
meeting.
C
A
Okay
with
that
all
those
in
favor
all
right,
thank
you.
Great
okay,
y'all
have
a
wonderful
day,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
again
here
very
soon.
Mr
porter.
