IT WAS THE CONSENSUS OF COUNCIL TO TAKE THE FOLLOWING ITEM OUT OF ORDER: NEW BUSINESS AND REPORTS - CITY COUNCILMEMBERS Mayor ProTem Dannen - 1. Discussion regarding AQMD Task Force- Hydrogen Fluoride Report /Hazardous Materials. Ed Camarena, Deputy Executive Officer, Office of Operations of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, 9150 Flair Drive, El Monte, California gave Council a report regarding the AQMD Task Force studies regarding the release of Hydrogen Fluroide /Hazardous Materials in the City of El Segundo with emphasis on Allied - Signal, Inc. He stated no recommendations have been made with regard to the report. The committee is now in the process of assembling recommendations that can be made on public protection measures in anticipation of a possible Hydrogen Fluroide leak. Mayor ProTem Dannen expressed concern regarding the amount of hazardous inventory Allied - Signal maintains. City Manager Cano stated staff is preparing a report to give Council at the February 20, 1990 Council meeting regarding the kinds of Hazardous Materials used in the City. Mayor ProTem Dannen expressed concern regarding the City's liability with regard to the Council's knowledge of life threatening materials being used by industry in the City. Louis Ervin, Jr. Plant Manager, Allied - Signal, Inc. 850 S. Sepulveda Boulevard read the following prepared statement: We support the findings of the Hydrogen Fluroide Task Force appointed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. We feel they conducted a thorough and competent study of the use of HIP Council Minutes February 6, 1990 3 in our area. We support the Task Force conclusion that although there have been no significant releases of HF within the District, the current situation should be made more safe by implementing available HF spill and leak mitigating measures. We expect to implement their recommendations at our plant. HF is an important industrial chemical with wide spread uses: in the production of aluminum and stainless steel; as a catalyst; in the etching of glass; in the production of solvents, plastic and refrigerants; in the manufacture of fluorescent light bulbs and television picture tubes and as a source of fluorine and fluorinated chemicals. Our El Segundo plant utilizes HF in the production of HCFC -22, an important replacement for chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs) which have been implicated in the depletion of the earth's ozone layer. HCFC -22 is used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. There is no replacement for HF in the manufacturing of HCFC -22. Banning HF in the basin would prevent us from continuing to manufacture this key replacement for CFCs. Because Allied - Signal is a major producer of HF, we have a vast amount of knowledge about its safe handling and use. We put that knowledge to use at El Segundo and continually upgrade our operation, training, and HF handling procedures to reflect the most recent information. We have designed and retro- fitted our plant with the latest state -of -the -art devices to prevent releases and are studying recent release mitigation to determine the best mitigation systems to install. We work closely with local officials, fire personnel, police and hospitals to keep them updated on how to deal with HF vapor and liquid releases (including training and maintaining our own fire brigade); in development of emergency response plans and plans to effectively shelter and /or evacuate in the unlikely event it becomes necessary. We are an active member of the Beach Cities CAER Association. We have always recognized that we have a responsibility of our employees and the public to operate this plant as safely as possible. We believe that our safety record supports the conclusion that we have always run El Segundo Works in this manner. For that reason, we believe that the safety performance of Allied- Signal and the data gathered by the HF Task Force support one of its conclusions: we can continue to manufacture Genetron 22 using HF at our El Segundo plant even more safely by implementing additional available spill and leak mitigating measures. City Manager Cano recommended the Hazardous Waste discussion be continued to the first meeting in March instead of at the next Council meeting of February 20, 1990. The Hyperion issue will take considerable time, and asked Council's reconsideration for agendizing this item.
