ground sulfuric acid storage tank located directly adjacent to the loading/parking area. The tank will hold
up to 1,000 gallons of sulfuric acid for the purpose of treating wastewater.The sulfuric acid contributes to
reducing the pH levels of the wastewater in order to comply with City environmental guidelines.

of handling 55 gallon drums of sulfuric acid to treat the wastewater.

In response to Chairman Winship, Mr. Hoyt stated sulfuric acid is capable of dissolving almost
anything.

safety devices and the sulfuric acid is used to reduce the pH levels of the property's wastewater in order to
comply with the City's environmental guidelines.

currently stored and used at property.
