Request for a Conditional Use Permit and information supporting the application; 2. Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration and affidavit of mailing; 3. Environmental Information Form; 4. Engineer's Report; 5. Proposed Negative Declaration; 6. Responses to Notice of Intent to adopt a Negative Declaration. The Director of Community Services indicated that it was his opinion that the proposed operation will pose no adverse effects to the City of Vernon or any surrounding area, and that the project is consistent with the General Plan as adopted by the City of Vernon and will not have a significant effect on the environment in this case because of mitigation measures he was recommending be required condi- tions to the granting of the conditional use permit. He recommended that the City Council determine that: 1. The project is consistent with the General Plan as adopted by the City of Vernon; 2. That the project will not have a significant effect on the environment in this case because of mitigation measures and adopt a Negative Declaration. It was moved by Gonzales, seconded by McCormick, to open the Public Hearing to consider an application for a Conditional Use Permit from N.I. Industries to allow an expansion in the volume of off-site hazardous waste accepted at their existing facility located at 5215 Boyle Avenue, Vernon, the time being 5:06 p.m. Motion carried. Victor vaits addressed the City Council and summarized this matter for their consideration. Mr. Vaits referred to written comments from the Los Angeles School District and the State of California Department of Health Services. Communication from victor Vaits, Director of Community Services, dated March 14, 1990, was presented, advising that N.I. Industries, Inc. has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an expansion in the volume of off-site hazardous wastes accepted at their facility at 5215 Boyle Avenue, and transmitting the following supporting documents: 1. Notice of Public Hearing, copies of notification letters to owners and tenants in the area and affidavits of posting and mailing. 2. Additional responses to Notice of Intent to adopt a Negative Declaration. Mr. vaits also advised that documents which were previously submitted to City Council during the city council meeting of March 6, 1990 con- sisted of a request for a Conditional Use Permit and information 2053 I I City Council Minutes page 3 March 20, 1990 supporting the permit application including an Operations Plan, Contin- gency Plan, statement on the geology and flooding possibilities, Waste Analysis Plan, Environmental Risk Assessment, Closure Plan, Traffic study, and Personnel Training. Also submitted was a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration and Affidavit of Mailing, Environmental Information Form, Engineer's Report, proposed Negative Declaration and responses to the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration. He further indicated that the California Department of Health Services and the County Sanitation District have both issued permits to N.I. Industries, Inc. for the operation of this facility, and it is Mr. Vaits's opinion that all environmental aspects with regard to the operation of the facility have been, or will be, reviewed by these agencies. N.I. Industries, Inc. has been operating this facility for approximately eight years and are not proposing to increase its capacity; therefore, their operation is viewed by Mr. Vaits as a grand fathered use. Review of this facility has concentrated on the transportation issues associated with the proposed expansion in the volume of off-site untreated wastes accepted at the facility. It is the opinion of Mr. Vaits that the proposed operation will pose no adverse effects to the City of Vernon or any other surrounding area. He also advises that the project is consistent with the General Plan as adopted by the City of Vernon and will not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, based on the aforementioned information it is hereby recommended that the City Council determine: 1. That the project is consistent with the General Plan as adopted by the City of Vernon. 2. That the project will not have a significant effect on the environment because of mitigation measures and adopt a Negative Declaration. It is further recommended that the Conditional Use Permit be granted contingent upon the following conditions: 1. The facility shall be operated in accordance with the appropriate codes, rules, regulations, permit fees and business license fees as adopted by the City of Vernon and all Federal, State or local control agencies; 2. The facility shall employ and maintain an emergency response team for the purpose of responding to any spills on site or on City streets, of substances designated for processing at the facility. The emergency operations plan shall be approved by the City of Vernon Health and Fire Departments; 3. Existing structures on the site must meet all current uniform code requirements as adopted by the City of Vernon; 4. Vehicles hauling hazardous materials to and from the project site shall be limited to the routes shown on Attached Exhibit "A"; 5. The property shall be landscaped as approved by the Director of Community Services; 6. All on site areas subject to a possible spill must be paved with Portland Cement Concrete and surrounded by impervious sidewalls with sufficient capacity to contain spills and to prevent rainwater from carrying pollutants to ground or surface waters; 7. Approval must be secured from Regional Water Quality Control Board for any surface drainage water that enters storm drain system; 2054 I I City Council Minutes Page 4 March 20, 1990 8. All necessary permits and approvals must be obtained from applicable Federal and state agencies including but not limited to the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and the California Department of Health Services. All permits shall be secured prior to the acceptance of any off-site wastes. 9. A 50 foot curb return with sidewalk and handicap ramp shall be constructed at the northwest corner of Boyle Avenue and 54th Street. Sufficient right-of-way shall be deeded to the City for the construction. All cracked All cracked or broken curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway or curb drains shall be repaired as directed by the Dir- ector of Community Services. Where parking adjoins a public street a masonry wall not less than 30 inches in height or a landscaped area a minimum of four feet in width shall be constructed, except at driveways, walk- ways or where other openings are necessary. Communication from Victor Vaits, Director of Community Services, dated March 15, 1990, was presented, advising that the Los Angeles Unified School District has submitted comments on Initial Study/Negative Declaration regarding N.I. Industries hazardous waste treatment facility. The District, in their comments, raised various questions and indicated that in their opinion the project will have a significant effect on the environment. Mr. vaits has reviewed the District's comments and the fact sheet prepared by N.I. Industries in response to the District's Comments, and it is his opinion that N.I. Industries has properly evaluated and clarified all questions raised by the District and he (Mr. Vaits) agrees with their conclusions. Further, it is the opinion of Mr. vaits that since we are dealing with an existing facility and no expansion of the facility is considered under this Conditional Use Permit, except for transportation related matters, an Environmental Impact Report is not required. A Negative Declaration with mitigating measures as stated in the conditions for granting the Conditional Use Permit is appropriate for this project. The City Clerk asked Mr. vaits if, in the eight years this plant has been operating, there have been any problems. Mr. vaits advised there were problems in the past but they were all corrected and there is nothing of any concern at this time. The City Clerk asked if there was any other facility of this sort in the area. Mr. Vaits replied yes, Chem Tech on Bandini Boulevard and Downey Road. The City Clerk asked if N.I. is expanding their facility or any other thing of that sort or are they just changing the source or location of the waste. Mr. Vaits advised that previously it was just waste that came from their operations but now it will be coming from other areas or locations outside of their facility. Councilman Gonzales commented that the State has a concern with certain types of chemicals that may be transported to this area or facility. Mr. Vaits advised they will be treating the same type of wastes in the future as they are now; there is going to be no change in the type of waste. Councilman Gonzales asked once the material is treated, is the danger reduced or diminished. Mr. Vaits replied that yes, once it is treated the hazard is reduced or eliminated. 2055 I I City Council Minutes page 5 March 20, 1990 Councilman Davis asked if N.I. had been fined by the Sanitation Department. Mr. Vaits said in the past, yes, but corrections were made and there are no areas of concern at this time. At this time the Mayor Pro Tem asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to address the City Council on this matter. Bob Toering, President of N. I. Industries, Inc., indicated that no problems existed with the County Sanitation District at this time. He stated that the company wants to make use of their presently available capacity and are not increasing their capacity in any way at this time. Mr. Toering submitted a letter for the Council's review from "Heal the Bay" addressed to him which expressed concern with the quality of the Santa Monica Bay and supported the project. Mr. Toering also advised that Chem-Tech treats organic waste while his company treats inorganic waste. All waste will be trans- ported by a licensed waste hauler. Mr. Toering referred to a form letter that he recommended be issued to all hazardous waste customers with regard to routes that must be taken when transporting waste in and out of the City; our application is for increasing the amount of off-site waste to be taken at the facility but not an increase in the capacity. Mr. Toering had no further comments at this time. Warren Schmuki, a representative from Congressman Matthew Martinez's office, addressed the Council advising that his office fully supports the application and the facility. Frank Villalobos, from the "Coalition Against the Prisons" addressed the Council and stated that this project is an attempt to bring about a better environment for this area; however, it is our feeling that there is a cumulative effect that this is going to have on your surrounding communities. Most of this waste will be coming from the immediate northern area: Boyle Heights, Glendale, and East Los Angeles. We are appealing to you to consider how this affects us all now and in the future. The route plan is our major concern. But did indicate support for the project. Ms. Aurora Castillo, on behalf of "Mothers of East Los Angeles" addressed the Council and stated that presently the aroma and stink in the area is offensive and in addition to this we are now bringing in hazardous/metal waste and slush and Huntington Park, Vernon, and Boyle Heights will be greatly affected during the work day. Ms. Castillo referred to a documentary on Channel 28, "Year 2000" with regard to the same type of situation in Maryland and indicated that she did not support the project. Miguel Mendivel addressed the Council on behalf of Assembly- woman Lucille Roybal-Allarde advising that she presently neither opposes or endorses this project; however, she is concerned with the affect it will have on the general public and any consideration you can give this aspect will be appreciated. Leonis Malburg arrived at 5:40 p.m. and proceeded to chair the meeting. Mayor Malburg asked if there were any other questions or comments from the audience. Mr. Toering addressed the City Council and stated that he had a copy of the Channel 28 documentary Ms. Castillo spoke of if the City Council would like to view it. He also had a copy of the transcript of the program for the Council's review if it wished. Ms. Castillo advised that she lived in the surrounding area and is around this all the time and the concern is the affect it will have now and in the future. 2056 I I City Council Minutes page 6 March 20, 1990 Councilman Gonzales asked Mr. vaits that if this request is granted, are there still other permits that are needed or is every- thing secured at this time. Mr. vaits replied that the County Sanitation District and State Health Department permits are needed at this time; however N.I. does have interim permits at this time. They also need a permit from the Air Quality Management District as part of his recommended conditions. It was moved by McCormick, seconded by Ybarra, to close the Public Hearing with regard to N.I.
