RESOLUTION NO. 322 ( #9 -84)
RESOLUTION OPPOSING REBURYING OF BARRELS OF 245 -T ON VERTAC
PLANT IN JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, AS A DANGER TO THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS OF JACKSONVILLE, AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, there has been considerable discussion on what
steps to take to resolve the problem in regard to the barrels
of 245 -T buried on the Jacksonville Vertac plant, and
WHEREAS, one possible alternative mentioned by EPA has
been to dig up the barrels and rebury them on the Vertac plan
in Jacksonville, and
WHEREAS, the reburying of the barrels on the Jacksonville
Vertac plant property would create a substantial risk of dan-
ger to the health and safety of all residents of Jacksonville,
and
WHEREAS, the risk involved in the digging up and reburying
of the barrels far exceeds the proposed remedy as said action
would not remove any dangers to the community and the same
problem now existing would exist if the barrels are reburied.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Jacksonville City Council, that we
oppose any proposal to dig up the barrels of 245 -T existing on
the Jacksonville Vertac plant for the purpose of reburying
them at the Jacksonville Vertac plant.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any action taken to remove the
threats, if any, existing because of said barrels, should and
must include the removal from the Jacksonville area and must
not endanger the health and safety of the Jacksonville residents.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 7th DAY OF JUNE, 1984.
