Special Council Meeting Minutes December 7, 2009 Page 10 Mr. Triner asked, and they have essentially ignored it? Mayor Rinker replied, he does not think, essentially, yes, he would probably agree with you, yes. They are paying lip service so far. Mr. Triner stated, okay. Even though Logan says he's for health and safety and all that other stuff? Mayor Rinker replied, in terms of health and safety they feel that the imperical and anectdotal information by and large supports health and safety. There's been a lot of history of that. Yes, they do feel that legitimately they have a basis showing a.pretty good track record. What they can't attest to though is that if something goes wrong and really goes south and you are in a high density area, that's a problem. That's why you have zoning. This isn't a semi or general industrially zoned area. It's a residential area. That's the disconnect. Mr. Triner stated the other concern he has is like, in Guernsey County they had hydrogen sulfite in a remote well which is of course near Salt Fork where there is a lot of trees and things like that around. When that burped, one worker was killed and four were injured. At the Bonnieview site, if you had that at the Bonnieview site, you would actually have like 880 people that could be at risk if you got a burp there. Mayor Rinker would not argue to the contrazy. It's like everything else, the risks that are attributed to it and decisions are made as to whether or not they regulate that risk adequately. NIr. Triner asked, so again, there's nothing that can be done during the review of the permit to take those things? Mayor Rinker replied, that's a different question. To say that there's nothing is pretty absolute. Mayor Rinker does not think that's true. But to the extent that it's going to stop it, no it's not going to stop it. The question is whether these improvements are sufficient and. do they go to the issues that are needed to be addressed. Mr. Triner said the other question, since the permit has not been issued on Bonnieview, will our ordinances, if passed before that pernut is issued control that? Mayor Rinker replied, no, the permit has been issued. Mrs. Triner said, we heard that it was just an application. Mayor Rinker stated, we were told that the permit was issued and that was presented to us. 1Vlayor Rinker will doublecheck with Mr. Marrelli. Mayor Rinker's understanding is that permit was issued. Mrs. Triner said, if you can let us know, that would be great. .;
