MAY 2 3 1984 BOGK 57` fA x.77 of the property. He felt that the minor site plan changes suggested by Mr. Lloyd would not make any difference whatsover, except for 700 ft. radius at the property line. Prevailing Winds: Referring to prevailing wind charts (Exhibit E), Mr. Mendez noted that the prevailing winds are south and southeast, and prevail mostly during March through August, generally covering the time when the school is not in session. The remainder of the time, the wind blows from the school towards the plant. (Exhibit E is on file in the Office of the Clerk.) Aerosols: Mr. Mendez distributed copies of a pamphlet (Exhibit F) by the EPA on Direct Environmental Factors at Municipal Wastewater Treatment Works, dated January, 1976. (Exhibit F is on file in the Office of the Clerk.) Mr. Mendez read from the highlighted sections of the report, which generally presented arguments that aerosols do not pose a health problem. Mr. Mendez noted that the last section stated that results indicate that strategically placed vegetation should effectively suppress aerosols emanating from wastewater treatment facilities. Noise: Mr. Mendez reported that Hutchinson Utilities has already purchased 50 hp blowers, but they have agreed to purchase an 125 hp blower that would operate more quietly and maintain the 50 hp blowers as spares and operate them only when their noise is not objectionable. He advised that Mr. Aiello has just now made a further agreement. During the site plan process they managed to save one large stand of oak trees which he pointed out on the map of the proposed site. Mr. Aiello has agreed to keep this as is and turn the building enough so that it will result in having the noise components further away from the school. This will require some revised drawings, but they can begin to do that. 58
