Reid, ERC From: Robert Fox, Chairman Resource Conservation Subject: Environmental Impact Report on the Proposed Expansion of the APTEC II Facility The Resource Conservation Commission, at their November 19 meeting, voted to find that the Environmental Impact Report on the proposed APTEC II facility needed to be revised in order to make it an adequate document. Those changes were as follows: 1. That alternative sites needed to be more fully examined and that more sites to the north, outside of the South Bay, should be more carefully examined. 2. That a more careful examination of the risk of upset along transportation facilities to the APTEC project needs to be undertaken. This is especially true due to the fact that there is only one access to the facility and this amplifies the risk of upset problem. 3. Projections and evaluations of future locations for this facility should be extended through the year 2000 and 2010 to determine how these locations relate to future population areas and populations along transportation corridors to the locations. 4. Prior to the permitting of this facility, a carbon bed dual filter system should be required to be installed on tank #13. 5. The facility operator should begin immediately to find a suitable site for relocation so that within a 5-year period, the facility can be relocated within that time frame and an examination of the relationship of these sites to future population levels beyond the turn of the century and how these sites relate to population levels along transportation corridors to serve these sites. It should be noted that these relocation sites could be more easily evaluated if the subject Environmental Impact Report had a complete evaluation of alternative sites and a complete explanation of the site identification, screening and evaluation process that was undertaken to review alternatives to the proposed site.
