Mayor Blackmon announced the Council would hold an informal public hearing on
the application of Gulf Star Foundries, Inc., for a variance from the Texas Air Con-
trol Board regulations.
City Manager Townsend summarized the application stating that Gulf Foundries
had requested a variance to October 31, 1970, to meet the requirements of the opacity
regulations. He explained that they have already complied with earlier general regu-
lations, but that after installation of pollution abatement devices covering the
particulates emission and the black or dark smoke, the regulation concerning opacity
became effective and certain modifications became necessary. He stated that the
request for variance which was filed with the Texas Air Control Board December 11,
1969, was to allow approximately six months to purchase, install and test, the new
pollution abatement equipment to meet the opacity requirements, and it is recommended
that the variance be granted for no longer than October 31, 1970, which would be
adequate time for this operation.
Mr. W. T. Abbott, Secretary -Treasurer of the Gulf Star Foundries, Inc., was
present in support of the request and stated he had nothing further to add to the
request as presented but was available for questions if desired.
Mr. Wm. Ogletree, Consulting Engineer, appeared and stated that neither the
general public nor any particular office has had access to information relative to
what constitutes areas of compliance, and requested information as to the chemical
analysis of the air waste that is within compliance in areas other than opacity
requirements.
Mr. A. L. Cock, P.E., Public Health Engineer, explained to Mr. Ogletree's
satisfaction that the files are open to the public any time anyone wishes to examine
them for variances or sampling data, and that copies are also available upon request.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by McDaniel and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
