EPA PENALTY
August 4, 1987
245.1 The City Attorney reported he and the City Engineer met with
legal counsel and others of the EPA in Dallas last Tuesday to
attempt to negotiate a reduction in the proposed civil penalty
EPA was to assess against the City for violation of PCB storage
and disposal regulations. He said the proposed penalty was
$25,000 and the staff was able to negotiate a reduction to
$11,240 based upon existing regulations. He said the staff does
not believe it can negotiate further reductions under the
controlling regulations and recommends the Mayor be authorized to
sign a consent agreement and order under which the fine would be
assessed against the City.
245.2 Director Bumpass so moved, seconded by Martin.
