STEERING COMMITTEE REPORT
The $25,000 requested in the budget for fiscal year 2010-2011 for LEPC activities was denied by County Council. Bob Winchester appealed the decision and was denied again. The majority of the County Council members think that Solid Waste can handle everything that is turned in at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day and that there is no need for Oconee County to sponsor one. In the process of doing research on the LEPC as background information for the County Council, Bob Winchester discovered that there is not an ordinance that creates the LEPC on file with the County.
Ronnie Williams made a motion to have the Steering Committee write the State Attorney General for an opinion on what the County’s legal responsibility is with respect to the LEPC; motion carried.
Stan Saski suggested that a workshop to be held to educate the County Council on what the LEPC does.
Tony Garland made a motion that the LEPC form a committee to develop a presentation to educate the County Council about the LEPC; motion carried. David Hall suggested that the committee have letters of support from the local industry and the attorney general’s opinion in hand before going to the council. Bob Winchester will be in charge of the committee and the chair and vice-chair of each sub-committee will form the group responsible for the presentation.

The HAZMAT Team responded to four calls since the last meeting. This included a fire at Ulbrich and polyurethane found in Lake Hartwell. They participated in a drill with the Joint Regional Sewer Commission on April 17. They are currently working on a rewrite of the emergency decontamination procedures. They are also working on organizing the HAZMAT trailer. Team members will be participating in the emergency worker decontamination at Oakway Middle School on June 10, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
