ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 1) BKK.LANDFILL FOLLOW-UP"ODOR STUDY Council reviewed staff's report. ( V E R B A T-I M" T R A N S C R I P T I O N) Shearer: The next item is a staff report from Environmental Services, the one that was addressed under Oral Communications, in regards to a possible contract with Eutek for an additional odor study related to our current ongoing efforts in the area of.odors, control, alleged violations, environmental impact report, etc. We have a staff report. Any ques- tions, comments,' Bacon: First, I have a question.. What "period did our'last report cover, what date did that start. Miller: It was the first two weeks of December and the middle part of January. Bacon: Based on what Mr. Brown indicated tonight, it would seem to me that rather than - apparently there is maybe some weather change which occurs during that part of the year'whi.ch causes the odors to be at I• their worst and that somehow or other they are dissipated by ordinary - processes. the rest of the year - I believe we should have the study done at a relatively similar time.'.I would suggest that we start it in November and do November, December - Miller: This is a six -weeks program only and I might point that there are two sets -of circumstances here that influence the time that we are going by. -,Number one is the fact that we need input into the draft environ- mental -impact report as it relates to the allegations on odor viola- tions and the potential action on the unclassified use permit. 'Ne - 13 - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 8, 1981 Page Fourteen required BKK to install certain items to correct the odors and address the odors that had been identified and this is an attempt to try and quantify that. Secondly, thi.s follow-up odor study involves micro - meteorology as well as tracer anayl.sis to determine the emission rate from the deck of the landfill. In other words, they will be measuring the exact quantities being released from the deck of the landfill and - comparing it to the quantities released in January and December, and making adjustments for the micrometeorology that variations to hope- fully make it at least a Washington apple and a Pippin apple instead of a Washington apple and an orange. Ideally, it should be in Octo- ber, November and December. I don't doubt that. It would be the direct comparison and requires the least manual adjustments for minor modifications. However, the time schedule to expedite the draft en- vironmental report preparation, of which this is a part, would not Der- mit same..to be held back in November because.it would anticipate we would be in hearings in September. Tennant: Mr.-Mayor;-.JI would like to rake a couple of comments. Shearer: Councilman Tennant. Tennant-. First, I_would like to respond to something Mr. Miller said. If I had known that.part of the E.I.R., of which we are spending - I'm losing track, we've had so many studies I forget which one was 120, which one was 75, I've got them all mixed up. But, nevertheless, if I known that the F..I.R. contract with Ultrasystems was contingent upon another �. $87,000 on top of that-, I wouldn't have voted for that one. I am going to vote this down tonight and I'll tell you why. Number one, I'm tired of spending money on people who live down around the landfill who haven't appreciated it. So I decided to call some of them this weekend and find out how much they would appreciate me not voting on it. And -much to my surprise, I didn't get a single one of them who wanted tospend the money on it. And so, I can't find anybody who feels we need this and I'd be willing to reconsider this in the fall after we have settled all issues of authority, after we have settled hearings, after we have settled initiative elections and recalls, and all that -sort of thing I'd be willing to consider it, but I am going to vote NO on this. Tice: Mr. Mayor. Shearer: Councilman Tice. Tice: I've got mixed emotions on this particular study. We have spent a heck of a lot of money in the whole area. The question I have for Mr. Miller is there any way that not having this information would jeopardize the validity of the E.I.R. Is there any way of getting this information without going through this kind of a $85,000 study. Miller: To rely on just the odor complaints being called in'would not be a valid measure of whether or not the activities have actually helped mitigate the odor conditions down there. And the only way of being able to pro- vide that input and that evaluation is to conduct an odor study that measures the air emissions, make the minor modifications for the micro - meteorology, and at least.it is as scientific a measurement as you pos- sibly can get instead of being a point and bone of contention possibly at the time we go into the public hearings on the draft environmental impact report on, of all things, alleged odor violations.;. If we don't have.any quantified anaylsis to compare to previous considerations, it is left to the interpretation of any member of the public or staff, or Planning Commission as to whether or not an improvement has been made or no improvement has been made. - 14 - 0 /0 41 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 8,5 1981 Page Fifteen Tice: What's the latest we could push this down to the November/December frame apd-.still have it included in the E.I.R. Miller: The E.I.R. input draft will be to .the City staff, inourhands, by August 20th in order to be able to*complete the process within the .32 month time schedule and start the public hearings in September. Tice: Are the odor complaints - refresh my memory - higher during the summer months-. Miller: :--The-odor complaints are generally higher during the winter months. And the exception that would take place is when you get into a heavy inversion layer situation, such as we did last fall in October for about ten days -straight in.which case you absolutely had no wind move- ment, no air movement, no mixing, and the odors would not disperse. So it generally starts in the fall about late September and really peaks out.i.n November, December and January. Tice: Do you think if we did not have this, there would be some question on the E..I.R. Miller: It would be staff's opinion.there would be some question. Fast: Mr. Mayor; council will recall that the basis.on which they referred the subject to the Planning Commission for hearing had to do with the nuisances caused by odor. Council will, also recall that the Eutek study was a result of wanting to measure the effect of the mitigating measures installed as a result of the USC study. It -appears to me that .the evidence that' the Planning Commission is going to'have to have if in fact it's -going to have a valid hearing at all in the area'of nui- sances caused by odors', that we have to :have some sort of ability to quantify it. In fact, the Council made that a firm stipulation in terms of evaluating the USC study- Consequently, it would appear to me that the hearing process at some point -in time should have this sort of information folded into it. It could happen at a later date; how- ever, you.will also recall that the Council instructed staff to accel- erate to the greatest amount possible the hearing process. So, it was With this .i'n.mind that this is before you this evening. Tice: Could this -be a separate item by itself, as an addendum to the E.I.R. later on., Mr. Fast. What I am thinking about is pushing this down closer to the time that we -.took. -the original study. Miller: Mr._Mayor and Council, it could be an addendum. However, coming as an addendum -late in the game, doesn't allow you to make the adjustments in the draft environmental impact report when that draft is being_ pre- pared so that.ail people have the information at that time. And secondly, to.- as I say, we anticipate being in hearings by September - to wait until November or late October it would really be too late to complete the study to'be useful.. Fast: We do have some hope of cost sharing on this one as compared with the previous one, from the Environmental Protection Agency. They -have at staff level given us a hint, and in fact staff was prepared to person- ally .go to their regional headquarters 'of EPA to personally lobby for them to participate heavily inthis study. Tice: Ply concern was to try to. -get it_as close.to:the:iier.iod of the original study -and we can't do it. Shearer: There .is a. way to do it. Tice: Well, we could postpone the hearing...I don't want to.do that. Shearer: Well, that's - there i.s a way to do it, .if we want the best of both worlds and unfortunately sometimes we can't. - 15 - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 8, 1981 Page Sixteen Chappell: Yes. We have committed ourselves, though, to this thing. • Shearer: I may be a little confused, partly by the hour and partly by other things. The issue of whether or not there has been an improvement in the emission from the landfill - is that really the purpose of the E.I.R. Or is the E.I.R. to address the environmental impacts of suspension, revocation, amendment. It would seem to me that whether or not there has been an improvement, or elimination perhaps, would really be a matter for evi- dence when the Planning Commission and possibly the City Council ulti- mately has a hearing, not on the draft E�I.R., but on the actual O.K., now, -:.we have.an E.I.R. that says these are the impacts and this is what's going to happen, so forth and so on. Now, with that information, what do you want to do with the unclassified use permit. It would seem to me that that's '.when:.- the results of the study of this type is more urgent. Now, I'm not in the business of writing E.I.R.'s, but from what little I know about them', -that's more the time frame, that information of this type would be more appropriate rather than in the preparation of the E.I.R. Could staff respond to that. Fast: I'd like to comment briefly, and I think the City Attorney has a comment as well. With respect to the third alternate of those three potential actions'by the City, and that.is the amendment of the UUP. The amend- ment would apply to change, conditions by the City Council which would most likely be addressing further mitigating measures. And I believe that very likely those mitigating measures would have to tie into the types of things that Eutek had recommended and that, in fact, have occurred in the past that the Planning Commission would then want to • add as additional conditions in the event they were considering amend- ment.as compared to the other two alternatives. So, in terms of an E.I.R. commenting on impacts, they would have to be presupposing certain amendments under the one alternative and these amendments would be changed operating conditions, additional conditions to the UUP, many of which would undoubtedly tie into the recommendations of Eutek or USC which. have pone beyond the requirements of the City.and have never been incorporated into UUP. Shearer: I would like to comment, also, a little bit•6n.what• Councilman Tennant mentioned. With all due respect, I really wouldn't expect a phone call to the people in Woodside Village who have already polarized in one cer- tain position to ask them if they want Council to spend any more money studying the problem, why I think the obvious answer of anything less than 100%.NO would be very surprising. I think the answer there they have already decided they want the landfill closed, period, pure and simple, at least as it relates to toxic wastes. I really -don't know if that is significant. They.have already taken action on recalls, taken action on an initiative petition. So, it's obvious their minds are made up. I'm not saying whether itt's right•or. wrong. I think that's obvious I don't agree with it.:,Hhat I find is, if we want to have a good basis for making a decision, and let's say the vote is to revoke the UUP, and it's not on the basis of any kind of study, we're in court. On the other hand, if we go the other direction and say there has been improvement in the absence of substantial evidence, the other side is on court. And I'm sure the court would rule 1,1hat's the basis • of your decision. Did you have any evidence?" And in the absence of evidence, decisions are generally thrown out and reversed. I don't want to spend any more money either. And I don't live in Noodside Village and I'm not on that side of the issue. I don't want to spend any more money or any more time on the matter, but I'm not sure how to get out without spending more money. So,.I think, the lesser of two evils, I'm .going to support the staff report. - 16 - • • CITY COUNCIL MINUTES> June 8, 1981 Page. Seventeen Tice: I have to go along with it, -much as I hate to spend the $85,000. Tennant: Let me just -say another side of that coin, though. Even Eutek has made the comment to us that their best instruments aren't as good as the human nose.- .A,nd.,therefore, I seriously question what this study will tell us,�whether it will mean anything, and whether anyone will pay any attention to it. And regardless of the outcome; I think it will be so challenged.'I think it's a waste a money. So, I have not bought any of the arguments I have heard here tonight, so - I've had it with spending money on..more studies involving the landfill at this time. Later on, after a lot of things have settled down, I'd be glad to reconsider it, but I would not at this time. Bacon Mr. Nayor..I believe that Mr, Miller answered the one question that I've raised, and which Mr. Brown had referred to earlier this evening, as to weather conditions would materially effect the readings. But, he has indicated that they have the capabilities.of taking the readings at the site, measure the emissions -coming from there, at'ground level, and they can compare to see that we have an improvement -or we have no improvement or that this process is working or this one is:not working, I think we will have some evidence. And contrary to what Councilman Tennant has indicated, I think that no matter whether you make the people happy or unhappy you do need to have. the evidence upon which to make your deci- sion. Only intelligent decisions can be made when you have materials. And based upon the representation that,,I assume that in the_Eutek con- tract that we get from them will very clearly point out that that's part of the requirement, that they are to give us comparisions of around level on.the prior test with. the present test, so that we are basically comparing apples with apples and that we would then have the information that.we need. Tice: Only question is, I'm not sure that we're comparing apples and apples. Bacon; Well, Mr. Millerindicated they may be brands of apples, but at least it's pretty close to apples. Chappell; I would say that i.n the summer weather that's coming on now, that the methane, gas will be more apt to generate in larger volume if they're measuri.nq:it right at the surface of the landfill, They'll certainly get some sort of measurements,as well as those four burners are working, and the other recommendations they have made are working, and when we have a final hearing whatever decision we come up with at that time we are going to have to document it, because we have already tried to close that landfill to abandoned wastes sites that we don't even know what's in them. The courts have on two occasions now have ruled against us, so we have really got to document everything we do here and the only way we can do is to approve this recommendation by the staff and get the study done. Is there is motion or a resolution. Lennard: It's a motion. Shearer: The action is a motion - Chappell: I move the staff recommendation.*. Bacon: Second. Shearer: Any further comments. I'll just say this, and I hope that my colleagues would join. If you vote to make this study, obviously we can't unequiv- ocally commit to something. I think what we'd better have in the back of our minds, that the results of this study, properly in-terpreted, is just what we said.- evidence.on which we make our decision. And if this " comes out :` one way.or the other, whether it's the way we might sub= consciously or consciously hope.that it comes out w,hatever this report tells us we had better be prepared to be guided, Don't ask a question if you can't -accept any one of the possible answers. If anyone of our - 17 - • C� • CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 8, 1981 Page Eighteen minds is made up on this matter, then maybe you better not vote for this. And that's not saying that anyone who votes against it, mind's made up. I don't mean to imply that. But, if you don't intend to give full con- si.derati'on to the results of this, let's don't even ask the question to start. With that I have no further comments. Let's have a roll call. ( E N D.
