SIRACUSA:Yeah. I was wondering if possibly the Condition No. 5 where it says the applicant shall install an air filtration system that we could add a little proviso on to the end of that. And I would like to know what the Director thinks about this, to provide it with some additional protection. And that addition to the sentence would be, sufficient to insure that there are no fugitive emissions. Cause you could have an air filtration system that doesnt work very well or, you know, that doesnt work as thoroughly as it might. GALLAGHER:It doesnt, Ill tell you. SPRINGER:Mr. Director. YUEN:I dont know about no emissions. I dont know if thats achievable. GALLAGHER:Excuse me. SPRINGER:Mr. Gallagher. GALLAGHER:I wanted to bring up, I think I already said it, but he saw fumes, whenever hesawsthe,Iveworkedconstructionallmylife,Iknowthattherescreosoteinthewood.And it just pours, besides the fumes of the lacquer spray and all that, the creosote I see the smoke, it , comes on. Its a haze, a haze. It just, my cabin that I built is about right lined up with it. Unfortunately I had no idea he was there; and so I like was kind of almost through, I had people from my church come and help me build my place, and its like, hey, whats going over, we didnt even realize what was going on at first, you know. So -. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Gallagher. Commissioner Siracusa, any follow up to the Directors answer to your question? SIRACUSA:Well, hes only objecting to the word no. Could you suggest then some other wording that might make that a little bit stronger, you know, that the air filtration should be -. Its one thing to install it, for example, and its another thing to use it. Its another thing to use it when youre spraying. I mean, so Id like to see us maybe tighten that up a bit with some wording. YUEN:I dont have anything. You know, we can say use. I would consider use to be included, I mean, to be understood within the condition. SALAVEA:Madam Chair? SPRINGER:Mr. Director? Commissioner Salavea, before I call on you, just some clarification on whether its the installation and use of the air filtration system, or the hours of operations, or the decibel levels, sound levels during operation of the equipment, how does enforcement occur, and how would complaints of a nuisance by a neighbor be handled? YUEN:If the permit is granted, some of the conditions are relatively clear cut, like the hours of operation. If they operate at different times, then the neighborhood should call in a complaint to us; and our investigator will look into it. Thats about as far as I can promise that. 14EXHIBIT B
