Gillett Source of Funds: Department: Public Works Account Number: Report: XX Resolution: Ordinance: Amount Budgeted: Letter fromBFI wI Proposed Rate Schedule Amount Requested: Exhibits: Exhibits: Consumer Price Index Budgeted Item: NIA Exhibits: Rxcerpt from c.ommercial Solid Wade c.ontract SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On October 9, 2000, the City of La Porte approved a contract with BFI Waste Systems, Inc. to provide containerized commercial solid waste collection within the City. Per the terms of the contract, BFI is entitled to an annual rate increase, based on the April Consumer Price Index (CPI), ~ith a maximum annual increase not to exceed five percent (5%). Attached is a letter from BFI requesting a (2.61%) increase. The CPI increase from April 2002 to April 2003 was 2.61 %. The last rate increase (4%) was approved in July 2001. The proposed increase will result in adjusted rates, as shown on the attached rate sheet, and will go into effect on November 1,2003. It should be noted that the Contractor bills commercial customers directly. The City is paid 4% of gross revenues by the contractor. Action Reauired bv Council: Approve proposed rate increase of 2.61 % for collection of containerized commercial solid waste by BFI Waste Systems, Inc. , i , \ \ 7-y-oj Date ,. " -. e e June 25, 2003 Mr. Steve Gillett Public Works Director City of La Porte BFI Dear Mr. Gillett: BFI. Waste Services commitment to you, our customer, is to insure the waste collection services provided to the City of La Porte be delivered in the professional and efficient manner that you have come to expect. We have taken pride in our "Partnership" with the City of La Porte and it's commercial customers. Like other service companies, however, BFI is constantly faced with increases in the costs associated with providing quality service to our customers. As a service provider company, it is vital we attract quality employees by offering a competitive Wllge and beIiefits package. We must also opemte and maintain state of the ~ collection'equipment,to.provide the level of service expected. Some of these increases and additional costs can be controlled and/or absOIbed by BFI without effecting customer pricing. Others, which are gene,ral1y beyond the control ofBFI, have a potentially broad enough effect that BFI must ask our customers to share in the increases. While we have been able to hold the pricing on our service for La Porte residential and commercial customers at the S8JIle rates since November 1, 2001, we feel it is now n~ to petition for an increase. Therefore, it will be necessary for BFI to request a rate adjustment ftom the City of La Porte, on our current commercial collection and disposal contIacl:. I am basing the request on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Houston-Galveston area. As you know, the CPI tracks the increase or decrease in costs associated with business piactices. These costs do look at all asPects of the business. inCluding employee benefits, wages, operational supplies, fuel aiId equipment The CPI is ~tIy at 2.61% based on the month of April 2003. I am notifying you of this request early to allow time to factor these additional charges in your budget for this year. Commercial customers would see a 2.61% inaease to their current monthly rate. Ifapproved, theSe adjustments would become effective November I, 2003. I have included a Calculation of the rate adjustritent request. We have appreciated the opportunity to provide waste collection services to the City of La Porte. We look forward to continuing to provide the quality of service BFI demands and our customers expect. Should you Wish to discuss this request, I will be available at your convenience. Sincerely, - BrI ,Waste ServIceS of Teui, LP ~~ Public Sector Acct. Mgr.

"Box 1229 Galveston, Texas 77553-1229 VIA Facsimile Federal Express Dear Mr. Anthamatten: On behalf of the ,City of La Porte, please accept, record, and file this letter as the City of La Porte's comments regarding the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the proposed Bayport Marine Terminal. As expressed in earlier correspondence dated January 10, 2002 and August 30,2002; the City is opposed to the Bayport Site, or any combination including Bayport, because we firmly believe the FEIS reinforces our concerns that this site would have substantial long-term negative environmental impacts for our community. ' The FEIS Executive Summary Table E-4 summarizes, environmental consequences of alternate sites. Within environmental categories, especially those that affect existing residential areas, the Bayport site displayed many negative environmental impacts that were more significant than alternate sites ,such as Spilmans Island. " Noise ' " Navigation Jurisdictional Wetlands Air Quality Hazardous Materials Ecology Parks and Recreation Ess'ential Fish Habitat Public Safety' We sincerely hope that convenience, ease of construction, and infrastruct~re costs for the PHA does not prevail over real environmental Impacts to adjacent and nearby homes and communities, . . . Because of continuing concerns expressed earlier and new 'information provided in the FEIS, we again request that a Supplemental EIS be performed to appropriately evaluate these items. Alternative Sites ' [J Other alternative sites have been identified within the Galveston Bay system for locating this terminal facility that are less environmentally damaging and that are more acceptable to the City. ' o In the ROD discussing the Shoal Point facility it was determined that the Shoal Point site was the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative site in the Galveston Bay system for a container terminal facility. 604 W. Fairmont Pkwy. .' La Porte, Texas 77571 · (281) 471-5020 e e Page 2 , . ' o The proposed Bayport site 'was evaluated by the Gaiveston District in its Stloal Point FEIS as one of the alternative sites for locating the Shoal Point container terminal facility, but the Bayport facility was found to be more environmentally damaging and was not selected. ' , o In toe Bayport FEIS, there is no mention of the fact that the Shoal Point site had been found to be the least environmentally damaging- alternative and had already been selected for issuance of a Corps permit to construct a container terminal facil,ity. [J Similarly, Spilmans Island is less damaging environmentally in the categories that impact nearby residential areas. Co-Location o The Bayport FEIS, unlike the DEIS, the Galveston District states for the first time that it does not consider cruise and container facilities to be functionally dependent. [J If these facilities are not functionally dependent; then they do not need to be co-located as stated. o This new recognition significantly affects the evaluation of alternatives by the applicant. 5pllmans Island , , o PHA had determined that developing Spilmans Island would be cost-prohibitive, due to its being a spoil disposal site. o Earlier this year, acting independently of the Port of Houston Authority, Harris County , commissioned a study of the cost of developing Spilmans Island. [J This study by Harris County, dated May 2003, concluded that the cost of development of Spilmans Island was substantially lower than had been determined by the Port of Houston , Authority. ' [J The Galveston District has not considere~ this new study by Ha~ris County in the DEIS or FEIS for Bayport in evaluating Spilmans Island as an alternative site. o This study by Harris County is new information that significantly affects the evaluation of alternatives to the proposed Bayport site. Air Pollution [J The entire eight county region is being subjected to rules related to heavy construction limitations, landscape and lawn mowing limitations. Even though small in their total effect, we've all been asked to share the load while this proposed activity isa point source and a real impact borne by a few people. o The less than significant impact definition avoids the true impact to the communities adjacent to and near the Bayport site. It assumes it's not significant because a number has been plugged into an attainment plan that covers an eight county area. There are alternative sites where the Airshed Impacts would not affect such a large population. e 'Ow e Page 3 o It is our understanding that the modeling does not include vessel emission for both trips to and from port and while vessels are in port (and currently not subject to state and federal regulations). o Emissions from railroad activity is not included (and currently not subject to state regulations). o The U.S. Environment~1 Protection Agency has adopted a National Ambient Air Ouality Standard (NMOS) for PM2.s, including both a 24-hour standard (65 micrograms per cubic meter) and an annual standard (15 micrograms per cubic meter). ' o As a res,ult of the comments'to the Bayport DEIS, the Galveston District Included an , analysis of PM2.s (fine particle) air pollution impacts that was released to the public for the first time when the Baypqrt FEIS was released on May 16, 2003. o In the Executive Summary of the Bayport FEIS, the Galveston District for the first time states that, in the year 2010, the 24-hour national ambi.ent air quality standard ("NMOS") fo~ PM2.s will be violated.., , o After years of evaluating this proposed Bayport Project, people living near this Bayport location have now been told, for the first time in the FEIS, that Federal air quality standards for this pollutant could be violated by the Bayport Project in the year 2010. o All of these concerns are amplified by the fact that the 2007 State Implementation Plan still ,falls short of needed NOx reductions. Therefore, any increase in NOx is unjustified and unreasonable.' , Noise Pollution o For nearby residences north of the channel, the FEIS predicts indoor sound levels of 66 dBA Ldn when the wind is from the southeast during the daytime and nighttime second floor sound levels would be as high as 70 dBA -Ldn for the first 2 rows of houses. o The La Porte MuniCipal Code prohibits sound levels greater than 65 dBA daytime and 58 dBA nighttime in residential areas. o The Bayport FEIS now presents a new analysis of the noise impacts of the proposed Bayport Project on adjacent neighborhoods: The new analysis reveals significant noise impacts will occur to nearby residential neighborhoods from the Bayport Project as proposed by PHA. Two of the alternate sites listed would not increase noise pollution or disturb area residents. o The Bayport FEIS state that sound levels may increase in the EI Jardin areas 'by over 5 dBA from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and in other nearby areas by over 10 dBA during the same time. o According to the USEPA, noise'increases by more than 10 dBA are potentially startling or sleep disturbing~ ' o The Bayport FEIS also concludes that residential property values will decline because of these significant noise impacts. . , o The Bayport DEIS failed to address the potential impacts to nearby residential communities due to vibrations caused by construction ar:td operation of the Bayport Project. o The Bayport FEIS now includes a new section containing a discussion and analysis of vibration impacts. tit e Page 4 o The Bayport FEIS now states that ship maneuvering m~y occasionally cause noise- induced vibration at reSidential structures up to 4,600 feet from the Bayport Ship Channel, the effects of which would be perceived as window rattling or wall vibration. o The Bayport FEIS now concludes that this noise-induced vibration impact caused by the operations of the proposed Bayport Project'is long-term and considered potentially significant depending on t~e design, condition and orientation of each residential structure. , · Residences located in Shady Oaks and Bay Colony subdivisions to the north, the EI Jardin and Stirf Oaks subdivisions to the south, and the subdivisions 'of the City of Taylor 'Lak~ Village to the west are all within the range of this potentially significant noise":induced vibration impact. o It has been estimated that over 5,000 people living within one mile of the proposed Bayport facility. , 0 Prior to the release of the FEIS these residents were not aware that a significant vibrations impact could occur in their neighborhood. ShiDDina o The permit application continues to be silent on the impact of deepening the channel from 45 feet to 50 feet even though the Bayport wharves are being designed for ,a 56-foot d~pth. We believe it is better to understand the incremental change from 45 feet to 50 feet today rather than hear the Port has decided to seek a.permit for a 50-foot channel within the next five years. o In the FEIS response to comments, the, Corps states that it decided to exclude consideration of a 50-foot channel based upon, the overriding fact that such a project has not .been authorized. , oln the FEIS re~ponse to comments, the Corps further states that in a regulatory EIS, the Corps only reviews the projeCt 'as. propo~ed by the applicant and the PHA has r)ot propOsed to widen or deepen the Houston ShipC~annel or the Bayport channel. o The Bayport FEIS now includes a diagram where wharf' cranes proposed for construction at the Bayport site are specifically labeled as being designed to unload post-Panamax vessels. o The Bayport FEIS now states that, when fully loaded, Post-Panamax vessels require channel depths between 45 to 53 feet. o This new information regarding the required channel depths for fully loaded Post-Panamax vessels explains the necessity for the future widening and deepening of the Houston Ship Channel and its connecting channels to at least 50 feet. . o The Corps has continued to state that deepening of the Houston Ship Channel and its connecting channels would likely be necessary in the future. e e Page 5 o It is apparent that the intent of the Bayport facility is to serve Post-Panamax vessels, which. when fully loaded, are larger than can be accommodated at the current time by either the Bayport or Houston Ship Chann~ls, yet the impacts from the deepening of the channels have never been analyzed in an environmental full disclosure a6cument. , It is for these reasons that we urge the ACOE to recognize the damaging effects of the Bayport site. As we understand, it,'the ACOE has limited optipns In acting on this application, 'It is our desire to encourage an alternate site for the proposal facility and thus deny the Bayport Application. However. if the ACOE issues a permit for the" Baypor:f: site, we respectfully request that specific conditions regarding the following issues be part of the permit., . H2i!!: The FEIS evaluates the noise impact to the closest residences as potentiallY,significant and suggests increasing the height of the 20-foot sound barrier to 30 feet. We request that further analysis comparing the proposed wall to other alternatives such as soundproofing nearby residences. ,This alternative may be more appealing than loss of breeze and view. ' Airshed Pollutant Loadlna: Based on the applicants commitment to USACE, conformity emissions were estimated at 24.9 tpy (thence hold 25 tpy). Place restrictions necessary to see this commitment is met and install air monitors f?r .reporting purposes. , , , The 2010 air quality impact related to the project could include a significant adverse .impact for the short term (PM2.5 impacts related to fugitive dust). Place necessary restrictions to insure the short- , term impact is mitigated by additional control of fugitive dust from construction. Surface TransDortation: Port operations not to begin prior to completion of SH146 including entry , and exit ramps to Bayport at Port Road and proposed grade separations over UPRR at Port Road and Fairmont Parkway.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Advertised, sealed bids #0888 for Plastic Garbage Bags were opened and read on May 27,2003. Bid requests were mailed to seven (7) vendors with five (5) returning bids. Bids were awarded at the June 9, 2003 Council Meeting to low bidder, Resourceful Bag & Tag Inc. at a per pound cost of $0.430. The total cost for 160,000 lbs. of bags from Resourceful Bag & Tag Corporation was $68,800.00. ,I, Subsequent to bid award, it was discovered that the successful bidder does not furnish cores for each role of bags. The City is concerned with the lack of cores for several reasons, including; ~ All other vendors bid rolls with cores, ~ The lack of cores will affect the sturdiness of pallets of rolls, which must be stacked in the City's storage facility, and ~ The rolls will not retain their shape, and rolls will "funnel", making them difficult for residents to manage. . , I .~. The City requested Resourceful Bag & Tag, Inc. to release the City of La Porte from the contract to supply bags. The vendor agreed to this, and executed a letter to this effect (see attached). Second low bidder was Jadcore, Inc. at a per pound cost of $0.44. The total cost for 160,000 lbs. of bags from Jadcore, Inc. is $70,400.00. This represents an increased cost of$I,600.

Broadway. I respectfully urge the LaPorte City Council to join our neighbors in protesting the building of a new container port facility at the Bayport location: The only reason the Port of Houston is insisting on that site is that it is in Harris County and not Galveston County. Thus, it is simply politics and power, not what is best for the community. In my view, it would be best for the Port of Houston to work out an arrangement with Texas City to join in that location which has already been approved by the Corps and not objected to by various government agencies and neighboring communities. The 7000 additional truck trips up and down 146 will make both LaPorte and my property at Pelican much less desirable. Thank you for your consideration. H. Michael Tyson 2601 S.

The basis of my opposition to the proposed Container Port includes: The utterly intolerable levels of particulate material the port will cause and issue.........this is a proven carcinogen and detriment to the air quality of the imediate area and the downwind areas including the city of Houston. Why risk potentially fatal health problelms and associated increases in required health care? The degredation of the living envirnonmentof the neighboring areas by way of noise, sound, odor and visual pollution. The increase traffic of large ships designed for deep draft not currently provided with the Houston Ship Channel depths.....dee.penting will negativly impact the biomass of the Bay and this is irreversible. The economic benefits of expanded container port capacity can be realized at several other alternate sites that have already received a Corps of Engineers permit...... why allow overbuilding, particularly at great irreversible expense to the environment and taxpayers pocketbook?

As a new resident I am just beginning to discover all of the great things the city has to offer. I am concerned that the Bayport container terminal will destroy the peaceful waterfront community I have grown to love. I believe the city will suffer from increased pollution in the form of water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, and light pollution due to the ships, cranes, and thousands of trucks that will become a daily fixture of the community. I also feel that the port is an eyesore in general and will La Porte a less appealing place for people to raise their families. I do not believe that the port offers any increased value to the community whatsoever to offset these costs. The only people who stand to benefit from this project do not live in La Porte and therefore are not concerned about the impact to our community. I am not the only person who feels this way. Everyone I speak to in my neighborhood has raised similar concerns. Please help all members of the La Porte community by opposing Bayport.

La Porte may be the best kept secret in Texas and the possibilities for this waterfront community are limitless. However, we must protect our community and environment from the wreckless expansion of the Port of Houston so that future generations can enjoy La Porte as we know it - a serene waterfront community. Should the Port of Houston succeed in Bayport; the trucks, warehouses, and pollution that will accompany it will cause an exodus, first by wildlife and then by citizens like myself. As stewards to the future of La Porte, I encourage you to oppose the Bayport Expansion and join the coalition of Bay area communities in opposition.

Dear City Secretary: I am a La Porte resident and active user of Galveston Bay. I am opposed to the proposed Bayport Container Terminal because I have reviewed the Army Corps of Engineers studies and findings, and it is clear that the Corps has not considered the alternative locations and has turned a blind eye to the devastating impact on our area. There are far, far better areas to locate a facility of this magnitude, and the City should join the legal effort to ensure that all these options are explored fully. Our region deserves no less. Joining the ongoing litigation helps ensure that decisions of executive agencies are reviewed by the judicial arm of our government. The adverse impact on our roadways, air quality, and overall quality of life would be hard to overstate. And at the same time, the supposed beneficiaries of the project (Container companies and port authorities) are not located in or near La Porte.

La Porte already has its share of industry and we need to focus on making our city more attractive. The Bayport facility will bring to La Porte, air pollution via the heavy trucking and noise pollution from port operations, as well as contamination of Galveston Bay and destruction of our wetlands. We will also experience deterioration of our roads (I hope you have had an opportunity to drive down Barbours Cut Blvd. recently and have seen the extensive damage to this road). Texas City has already made plans for container port facility and the only purpose of the Bayport Facility will be an increase in self importance of the members of the Port of Houston Authority.

City Joining in Ba.lawsuiU Flooding I'll speak ontwo ~~,9J~cts ,toni.g~t)Oining the BayPO~ lawsuit and flooding. , ' I have watched'thi~:council in pubiic aCtion concerning BaYP9rt.,And I've: concluded thafsbme members of this co~ncil have ~one everything they ~n to ride the coat tails of the other Cities .that are openly fighting Bayport, and, those same members have tried to curry favor with the Port of Ho~ston, hoping the Port will throw them a few crumbs. I have a question for those council members. How long do yqu think you can appease and pander to the Port before you become just like the arrogant, deceitful politicians that control the Port? Your concern a~out legal costs in fighting Bayport is false. I've proven to you that La Porte pays 3 times what other Texas Cites our size pay for legal service. That has amounted to millions of dollars of our tax money you have squandered over the years, and you've done nothing about that. And I've studied your so called study on legal costs and it is not a study; it is a cover up. And so, I'll repeat what I told this council a few weeks before you finally too,k your initial public stand against Bayport. I'm fed up with hearing excuses, it's past time for you to listen to the citizens and openly join the fight against Bayport. And now regarding Flooding: I understand that the council is concerned about possible flooding from the county dirt being added to Lomax:. .I'm going to pass around pictures of real flooding"That lake you see in pictures 1&2 is my family's 5 acre homestead in Lomax. It is some of the highest property in Lomax and it naturally drained West to Big Island slough, until the feed lot owner installed an illegal 1 % ft. high X 8 ft. wide dam on the west side of our property and flooded a large portion of our homestead for several months of the year. Picture 3 is the dam. After putting several thousand dollars into dirt and bulldozer work some of it still flooded as you see in picture 4. The City ignored my complaints about the d~li1: But when the , dam builder filed a written complaint against me for standing water, the City . aggressively worked his complaint. In fact, they were so aggressive they ignored their own written procedures that required a written warning prior to giving me a $2,000 citation. I confronted them With their procedure violation and they tried to lie their way out of it. And your legal service still aggressively harassed me, costing me many hours off work and $500 in attorney fees, before the citation was finally ..dismissed. To add insult to this injury; the City made us get a permit for the county ;d~rt. Then we had to have City final' inspection.... And all the while the dam builderlfeedlot owner J'las been hauling in truck loads of sand that he eventually , uses to raise his land sO it drains onto my land...all done without City permits, and without City inspections. And Picture 4 proves that. Council, are you starting to see, why I openly and accurately state that La Porte City government is crooked and corrupt? I have just started to expose the arrogant abuses my family and I have endured for 13 long years. , I'm going to warn you people for the second and last time, you better remove your contract attorneys from any dealings with me or'the Blackwells. , , ,. - ~...........

Lamkin 3412 'Bayou :Forest 'Dr. La Porte, 'IX 77571 e June 2, 2003 Colonel Leonard D. Waterworth Commandi~g Officer and District Engineer U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston CESWG-DE P.O. Box 1229 Galvest~n, TX 77553-1229 RE: FEIS - Bayport Container Port - Comment Extension Dear Colonel Waterworth: , ' We respectfully state that the FEIS just released does not give the citizens adequate time to respond and request that the period be extended to 120 days. In addition, much of the information con.tained therein is new and should be discussed in a public hearing, hopefully attended by our elected officials I would like to offer the following comments on the FEI~ that are shared by most of the citizens of the Galveston Bay Area. 1. Granting of a container p~rt permit at Shoal Point, to a Drivate company should eliminate the need for another container port funded by taxpayers. 2. PHA is over stepping their role in the shipping industry by offering services in competition with private industry.. Taxpayers fund their operation, The main purpose of this authority is to advertise to the world the merits of the entire port facility, both public and private. To compete with private industry is not in the taxpayers interest. , 3. While PHA is talking little about channel deepening in this project, 'granting them a permit at Bayport will be followed probably within days by a request 'for federal funds to deepen the channel. We should all understand that increased water usage from rivers upstream of Galveston bay combined with the deepening of the ship channel will increase the salinity of bay waters with a very negative effect on our fish, oyster and shrimp production. 4. Galveston Bay fishing and pleasure boating industries contribute a very large economic benefit to this area of the state. With the increased ship traffic, water front erosion and inevita. increased salinization of the . waters, these industries will suffer serious negative effects. 5. Since, the early'1900's the west shore, upper bay has been a fantastic residential development started mostly by residents of Houston. We love it 'here and we intend to fight for it's preservation. The long term negative effect on the residential tax base will offset any economic benefit Bayport may contribute. 6. The U.S. Fish & wildlife Service recommended denial of this permit. Colonel, we cannot accommodate the increased noise, truck traffic, lowered air quality along with the decline in property values, fishing and pleasure boating that would result with the issuance of this pe'rmit.

Martha, I hope to soon be a resident of your fair town soon. I currently live in Houston, but am closing on a house at the end of the month in LaPorte. I chose to move away from the hustle, the traffic, and the smog that has engulfed the city. I work in the container industry, and after the construction is gone, little more than the trucks, noise, and stink will remain. My company does not expect to gain from the presents of the port at all. Houston's container needs have been met. The presents of more ships will just pollute the air even more. Much of the deterioration is due to shortsighted decisions, disregarding the comfort of the very citizens the business should help. Houston became such a large city due to the vast petro-chemical industry, but we have seen what it has come to. At the current rate, the entire south and east sides of Houston to the water's edge will all be heavy industry areas, not fit to plant a tree on. We need to think: about the long term. We will loose the shrimping and crabbing waters in the area. No one will ~ant to boat and sail. Do not be fooled by the government's environmental impact 'study', the water is going to be diesel, oil laden, bilge water. As a first time home buyer, I have a lot of worries. It is not the mortgage, the 30 year commitment, but the Port that worries me. I am trying not to think: about my property value falling sharply upon the construction of such a latge, noisy, nasty cop.tain~r terminal. The many people who love the water and love to spend time on it will leave. Choose cleaner industries for LaPorte. Please band together with your neighbors and say 'NO' to Bayport Terminal. -Michael Jones 7/14/2003 e e Page 1 of2 Gillett, Martha From: Cayce, Graydon [GCA YCE@shb.com] Sent: Monday, July 14, 200312:29 PM To: GillettM@ci.la-porte.tx.us Cc: Marilyn Scanlan (E-mail) Subject: Against the Bay Port Expansion Dear City Secretary: We are not able to attend the meeting tonight to voice our opposition in person but request that this communication be read into the record.

We hope and expect that Council will do the right thing and join the GBCPA lawsuit to stop the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. While council may be tempted by the prospect of jobs and commercial activity adjacent to the City, the downside to this misguided development is clear. Noise, lights, trucks and increased pollution will take a terrible toll on the quality of life in and around La Porte. We find La Porte a remarkable place, 30 minutes from downtown Houston and at the edge of petrochemical development stretching back to Houston, yet surprisingly clean and attractive. It will be a great shame if - by not joining the GBCPA suit - you allow our natural resources to be squa~dered: For 50 years pollution was called lithe smell of money". But now we are seeing at the state and federal levels that all types of pollution require costly mandates to remediate. Ultimately we taxpayers pick up these costs, which thereby reduce tax dollars available for other desirable p~ojects. Others will address the specific deficiencies in the Corps' analysis but common sense says there are better alternatives to the port's Bayport expansion plans.

As a young, college-educated architect who recently made an offer to purchase property in, and relocate to La Porte, I am very concerned about the proposed Bayport location of the Port of Houston terminal. I've grown up on this Bay and understand fully the disastrous result that this Port will have on our environment. The impact that this terminal would have on the environment and on property values in La Porte is essentially unfathomable, especially when being misled by the Port of Houston Authority. What you may not be aware of is this: La Porte is an attractive choice for residential real estate purchases for me and for my peers. The last thing we want is to become residents of La Porte and have the quality of life ruined by the Bayport terminal. . Further!T1ore, the value of our current and future residences will be depleted because of the location of this terminal giving us a grim outlook on the health of La Porte as a city. Many people in my age group are discovering La Porte's convenience to the Galveston Bay area, and have purchased or are planning to purchase resident!al properties in La Porte. We plan to raise our families in La Porte rather than Houston, and understand that with this will come an improvement to the City of La Porte. I can think of dozens of young couples who have a hope for the future of La Porte, who wish to take in the beauty of the bay area, improve the city, and improve the school system. La Porte is about to see a great boom in the number of young professional adults living in the city who plan to become active in the 'community in, which they live. Sure, Bayport might bring jobs .to La Porte, but who will want to make' a home in La Porte with all the noise, pollution, and eyesores that will occur as a result of this terminal not to mention effectively cutting off our bay from the rest of Upper Galveston Bay with shipping traffic. In 1927 Houston Yacht Club was constructed and this terminal is immediately next to it. This. however, is a 106 year old yacht club whose members contribute substantially to the health of the city of La Porte. Most of these people either live in La Porte or commute from Houston on a regular basis. All of which see the value of treating our waters and property with respect and foresight. Foresight that does not include desecrating both bay, and city with this proposed port. As you meet this evening to consider joining the lawsuit against the Corps of Engineers, please consider the following: ' * The Bayport FEIS (Final Environmental Impact Statement) provided by the US,Army Corps of Engineers (hereinafter referred to as "Corps" ) is insufficient. In considering such a proposal, the Corps'is ignoring and dismissing information that is vital to permitting for the construction of a new terminal by the Port of Houston ' , Authority. The proposed location for the 140-acre Bayport terminal is not the best or most environmentally friendly location, and any study on its impacts MUST consider ALL viable alternatives and include ALL information on the impact to the proposed site. The Bayport FEIS issued by the Corps does neither. 7/14/2003 B1ank e e Page 2 of2 * The Corps has issued a permit to the Port of Houston Authority for construction at Shoal Point. The issuance of the Shoal Point permit has not been considered in the FEIS. The analysis of alternatives is incomplete, and the information presented is false in the FE IS regarding alternative sites is false. * Harris County recently released a report on the cost of developing Spillman's Island that concludes that the cost is much lower than indicated by the Port of Houston Authority, and lower than the proposed Bayport location. This report must be considered in evaluating whether or not Spillman's is a viable alternative to Bayport. * In December 2002, new topographic information was released for Harris County by Harris County' and FEMA. This data must be used to reanalyze the acreage of jurisdictional wetlands ~t the Bayport site. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has stated that the wetlands on this site are unique and of national importance, yet only 19;7 ofthe 140 acres are regulated. If the Corps used the new topographical data, the full 140 acres would likely be jurisdictional. If the Corps uses this information, alternative sites will certainly have less environmental impact and denial of the Bayport permit may be mandated. * ,The Corps has failed to undertake any analysis of the increased risk of cancer associated with the extensive diesel air pollution coming from Bayport. This is an environmental impact that should have been included in the Bayport FEIS. * The c~rps has recently admitted that the proposed Bayport terminal will result in a reduction of air quality, increased noise, and land vibration, all of which show violation of standards, health effects, and/or significant disruption of area homes and their real property value. These studies are not complete. * The Port of Houston Authority is seeking approval to construct a 56 deep dock with wharf cranes sized for Post-Panamax vessels requiring 45 to 53 feet of depth. The Corps has stated that the Houston Ship Channel will likely need to be widened and deepened to 50-foot depth or more. The Corps stated in the DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) and FEIS that they were analyzing .the impacts to this widening and deepening on Galveston Bay: They did not. This wid~ning and deepening will bring more salt water into Galveston Bay. This increase in salinity is threat to the continuing productivity of Galveston Bay, and will harm the population of oysters, shrimp, and juvenile finfish. Just one of the many reasons listed in this email is sufficient to fight the Port of Houston Authority to begin construction on the proposed Bayport terminal. Combined, they are indicative of a clear conclusion that the proposed Bayport site is neither financially practical for the Port of Houston Authority nor environmentally safe for La Porte, Galveston Bay, and the surrounding communities.

If the Bayport container terminal is approved, the city of La Porte will suffer from light and noise pollution caused by container ships that are going to be coming in and out of the port at all times ofthe day. Once these containers are at dock, they have to be shipped by land so our city will be pla~ed with hundreds of eighteen-w~eeler trucks. Property value around the port will go down and many residents will move. Haven't you seen the number of houses that are currently on the market in La Porte?, That number will triple! Nobody wants to live near a port and nor does it seem like somewhere you want to ra~se a family. I see nothing positive that is going to come from the Bayport ~ontainer terminal. When I think of the city of La Porte, I see a community on the bay. If the Bayport container terminal is approved, that city by the bay is going to turn industrial. That in my eyes does not seem appealing. I strongly urge you to oppose the Bayport container terminal. Thank you for your time.

It is your duty to oppose this wasteful and dangerous facility because it will negatively affect our city and its citizens. For the reasons mentioned below, the actions (or inaction) of yourself and your colleagues will decide how I vote at the next election. The bottom line is there are 50,000 people within 3 miles of the' site, better alternatives exist and there is no economic need. 1) , SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT MUST BE ISSUED There is information contained in the latest statement that is being made public for the first time. Information regarding noise pollution violations and alternative sites was withheld from previous reports. Because there was not enough time for public comment, an injunction must be issued so that these issues can be analyzed in depth. 2) POLLUTION- A main pollutant will be diesel exhaust, which is a'known carcinogen. There are 50,000 people within 3 miles of the proposed site. This is a human tragedy. The statement also notes the Port of Houston will be in violation for air pollution. The port proposes to water the, facility to stay within regulations.. But this would require more than 27,000,000 gallons of water every day. The port proposes wasting the more water in a day, than what is consumed by nearly 80,000 families! 3) ENVIRONMENTAL ALTERNATIVES The Port of Houston initially suggested that the Bayport site was the only economically feasible location. However, the latest reports indicate the cost of an alternate site on Spillman's Island is 76% less than originally estimated. Since the cost is not as high as the Port Authority estimated, the Corp of Engineers is obligated to consider this location. . The Port of Houston insists that other locations are not suitable since the container yard and cruise terminal must be together. This is not true. There are zero overlapping infrastructures between tourists and industry in port facilities. If the two terminals are separated, the land needed for the container terminal is less and more alternate sites are feasible and must be considered. 7/14/2003 . e e Page 2 of4 The Corp of Engineers has already issued a permit for a nearly identical facility at Shoal Point in Texas City, which is less than 25 miles away. Amazingly, this critical fact is ignored in the final statement. The Corp. has an obligation to fmd the site with the least environmental impact to the region. Since the Texas City site has already been determined to have the least impact, the ' Bayport facility is more damaging to the environment than other alternatives. 7/14/2003 e e Page 3 of 4 4) INCONSISTENT APPLICATION OF LAW The methodology used to develop the impact statement for Bayport was inconsistent with a , previously permitted facility in Texas City. This inconsistency must be investigated. 5) DECEPTION BY THE PORT OF HOUSTON - They said the cost, for Spillman's Island development was $600,000/acre. Now they say it is $140,000. THIS WAS A LIE. - They said that Bayport was the region's only alternative, despite the issuance of a permit for a nearly identical facility less than 25 miles away. THIS WAS A LIE. - They said Barbour's Cut would not lower home prices in Morgan's Point. THIS WAS A LIE. The Port of Houston has a history of deception and their claims must be suspect. 6) GOVERNMENT WASTE, The Port of Houston Authority does not have any motivation to wisely spend taxpayer's ~oriey. The already permitted facility in Texas City is being built by private entities, which will reduce the demand of shipping companies at Barbour's Cut by taking the Port Authorities customer's. Despite this reality, the port is proceeding with a project the "smart money" has already abandoned. ' The Port of Houston AuthontY is working to undermine private investment by pursuing an uneconomic facility. This is an example of government wasting citizen's tax dollars. 7) A NEW TERMINAL IS NOT NEEDED My education and profession are maritime transportation,. and all of my colleagues confirm a new facility is not needed if the Port of Houston operated a modem facility at Barbour's Cut. , Some have estimated'that the existing facility at Barbour's Cut is only at 40% capacity. And they say they need another terminal? ' The Port's own statistics show there were only 640 ship calls last year. This is less than 2 per day, but the Port wants to build a terminal with seven berths, which will handle less business after many customers will move to Texas City. This is a waste of resources. 8) NATIONAL SECURITY' Container terminals are an easy way for terrorists to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the U.S. Does it make sense to have a potential threat within an hour's walk of 50,000 people? 9) TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK , The Port's own documents note that there will not be rail service at the terminal for many years, so containers will have to be trucked to a railway. This will introduce thousands of industrial vehicles that will be a danger to the surrounding communities. Additional traffic deaths are certain. Although the facility will cost 1.2 billion, not a single penny is included for new roads, which the Port admits will be needed. , For the reasons stated above, it is your responsibility on behalf of your citizens to oppose this wasteful and dangerous facility. Defeating the Bayport Container Yard is in the best interest of the city and of its citizens.

It is your duty to oppose this wasteful and dangerous facility because it will negatively affect our city and its Citizens. For the reasons mentioned below, the actions (or inaction) of yourself and your colleagues will decide how I vote at the next election. The b<<,>>ttom line is there are 50,000 people within 3 miles of the site, be~ter alternatives exist and there is no economic need. 1) SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT MUST BE ISSUED , ,There is information contained in the latest statement that is being made public for the first time. Information regarding noise pollution violations and alternative sites was withheld from , previous reports. Because there was not enough time for public comment, an injunction must he issued so that these issues can be analyzed in depth. 2) POLLUTION- A main pollutant will be diesel exhaust, which is a known carcinogen. There are 50,000 people within 3 miles of the proposed site. This is a human tragedy. The statement also notes the Port o(Houston will be in violation for air pollution. The port proposes to water the facility to stay within regulations. But this would require more than , 27,000,000 gallons of water every day. The,port proposes wasting the more water in a day than what is consumed by nearly, 80,000 f~milies! 3) ENVIRONMENTAL ALTERNATIVES The Port of Houston initially suggested that the Bayport site was the only economically feasible location. However, the latest reports indicate the cost of an alternate site on Spillman's Island is 760/0 less than originally estimated. Since the cost is not as high as the Port Authority estimated, the Corp of Engineers is obligated to consider this location. The Port of Houston insists that other locations are not suitable since the container yard and cruise terminal must be together. This is not true. There are zero overlapping infrastructures between tourists and industry in port facilities. If the two terminals are separated, the land needed for the container terminal is less and more alternate sites are feasible and must be considered. 7/14/2003 e e Page 2 of4 The Corp of Engineers has already issued a permit for a nearly identical facility at Shoal Point in Texas City, which is less than 25 miles away.

Unfortunately, I cannot make the City Council meeting this evening, but wish to voice my concerns to the Council Members. As a young, college-educated adult planning to' purchase property in and relocate to LaPorte, I ,am very concerned about the proposed Bayport location of the Port of Houston terminal. The impact that this terminal would have on the environment and on property values in LaPorte is astounding, as you are aware. What you may not be aware of is this: LaPorte is an attractive choice for residential real estate purchases for me and for my peers. The last thing we want is to become residents of LaPorte and have the quality of life ruined by the Bayport terminal. Furthermore, the value of our current and future residences will be depleted because of the location of this terminal. More and more, people in my age group are discovering LaPorte's convenience to the Galveston Bay area, and have purchased or are planning to purchase residential properties in LaPorte. We plan to raise our families in LaPorte, and understand that with, this will come an improvement to the City of LaPorte. I can think of dozens of young couples who have a hope for the future of LaPorte, who wish to take in the beauty of the bay area,' improve the city, and improve the school system. LaPorte is about to see a great boom in the number of young professional adults l;ving in the city who plan to become active in the community in which they live. Sure, Bayport might bring jobs to LaPorte, but ,who will want to make a home in LaPorte with all the noise, pollution, and eyesores that will occur as a result of this terminal? ' As 'you meet this evening to consider joining the lawsuit against the Corps of Engineers, please consider the following: * The, Bayport FEIS (Final Environmental Impact Statement) provided by the US Army Corps of Engineers (hereinafter referred to as "Corps") is insufficient. 'In considering such a proposal, the Corps is ignoring and dismissing information that is vital to permitting for the construction of a new terminal by the Port of Houston Authority. The proposed location for the 140-acre Bayport terminal is not the best or most ' environmentally friendly location,' 'and any study on its impacts MUST consider ALL viable alternatives and include ALL information on the impact to the proposed site. ,The Bayport FEIS issued by the Corps does neither. " * The Corps has issued a permit to the Port of Houston Authority for construction at, Shoal Point. The issuance of the Shoal Point permit has not been considered in the FEIS. The analysis of alternatives is incomplete, and 'the information presented is false in the FEIS regarding alternative sites is false. * Harris County recently released a report on the cost of developing Spilmans Island that concludes, that the cost is much lower than indicated by the Port of Houston Auth~rity, and'lower than the proposed Bayport location., This report must be considered in evaluating whether or not Spilmans is a viable alternative to Bayport. * In December 2002, new topographic information was released for Harris County by Harris County'and FEMA. This data must be used to reanalyze the acreage of jurisdictional wetlands at the Bayport site. The U.S. Fish and wildlife Service has stated that the wetlands on this site are unique and of national importance, yet only 19.7 of the 140 acres are regulated. If the Corps used the new topographical data, the full 140 acres would 'likely be jurisdictional. If the Corps uses this information, alternative sites will certainly have less environmental impact and denial of the Bayport permit may be mandated. * The Corps has failed to undertake any analysis of the increased risk of cancer associated with the extensive diesel air pollution coming from Bayport. This is an environmental impact that should have been included in the Bayport FEIS. , * The Corps has recently admitted that the proposed Bayport terminal will result in a 1 reduction of air quality, intllased noise, and land vibratioJIILl1 of which ,show violation of standards, health effects, and/or significant disruption of area homes and their real property value. These studies are not complete., * The Port of Houston Authority is seeking approval to construct a 56 deep dock with wharf cranes sized f9r post-Panamax vessels requiring 45 to 53 feet of depth. The Corps' has stated that the Houston Ship Channel will likely need to be widened and deepened to 50-foot depth or more. The Corps stated in the DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) and FEIS that they were analyzing the impacts to this widening and deepening on Galveston Bay. They did not. This widening and deepening will bring more salt water into Galveston Bay. This increase in salinity is threat to the continuing productivity of GalvestQn Bay, and will harm the population of oysters, shrimp, and juvenile finfish. Just one of the many reasons listed in this email is sufficient to fight the Port of Houston Authority to begin construction on the proposed Bayport' terminal. Combined, they are indicative of a clear conclusion that'the proposed Bayport site is neither financially practical for the Port, of Houston Authority nor environmen~ally safe for LaPorte, Galveston Bay, and the 'surrounding communities. I urge you to join the fight against Bayport!

Liston 2601 South Broadway No. 6 La Porte, Texas 77571 LETTER #2 Dear City Council Wanted :to let you know that'as more 'and more young, college educated 20 and 30's something's take on a more proactive approach to Bay Life in La Porte, we want to increase our property values that we 'are investing in today. We are all very hesitant to make huge investments in improvements to our properties because of the instability and looming agenda of the Bayport project. We love the the bay and it deeply saddens'us that we are at risk of loosing yet more beautiful and rare waterfront to such an eye sore. I think its about time we, the Citizens of LaPorte, stand up and fight to make our future citizens and children proud. We ,should be worrying about what kind of tree's to plant on a bike path the connects all the water communities together like the woodlands concept versus using all our energy and resources to oppose something that can be detrimental to the La Porte community. Of course, many people depend on the tax dollars these monstrosities bring~ What is to be said of these funds when all that is left in La' Porte is vacant, run down crack houses, high crime and ,dangerous schools? Who wants to live next to a Port Terminal and in such run down places? Not us. My guess would be the executives who run these companies that support Bayport have addresses that say "West University Place", "Katy" or "Greatwood" or even "River Oaks". Why? Because they don't want to raise their families near I?uch a pitiful eye soar. Think of the risks associated with what is coming in and out plus the mere general pollution impact and thousands of new trucks. Have we not learned anything from the lady who lost her entire family, 3 kids and husband, to an unsafe "18 wheeler"? La Porte has so much potential. Many of us that love the bay and have seen what has come of the Clear Lake area can only think that. this type of urban sprawl can move to La Porte. Look at ,our downtown. How many conversations hav.e I been in where ideas of starting this business or that business, or redoing this building or that building in La Porte. Dozens. With each one ending in one looming comment, "but if Bayport comes, then forget it". We as citizens of La Porte, should look at places like the Heights or Midtown.' Places we all know were ,deteriorating and drug infested because Of decay. It took brave and responsible citizens, just like us, to say "No, not in my Town,- Not in my lifetime" to see changes grow from plans to successful new communities with young families, premier shopping, tasty restaurants and e~cellent schools all in a matter of few years. La Porte is the diamond in the rough. If we ban together and fight Bayport, think of how all this energy can be turned into positive economic development for years to come. I would personally take more of an interest in making this happen if Bayport is beat. I can assure City Council I am not alone in this 'mission. We are young, hard working adults. We want restaurants to eat here, we want to be able to ride bikes or roller blade down the waterfront, shop at local businesses and see concerts and plays in our local outdoor theatre. We are the future of La Porte, our kids will shape the next generation of academics and sports success in this community. If the Port comes, the door doesn't just close, it slams shut. Thank you, -Melissa Mai 3913 Sunrise La Porte, TX 77571. LETTER #3 2 e e' Dear City Secretary; I am a new resident of La Porte and I am greatly concerned over the Bayport container terminal project. As a new resident I am just beginning to discover all of the great things the city has to offer. I am concerned that the Bayport container terminal will destroy the peaceful waterfront community I have grown to love. I believe the city will suffer from increased pollution in the form of water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, and light pollution due to, the ships, cranes, and thousands of trucks that will become a daily fixture of the community. I also feel that the port is an eyesore in general and will La Porte a less appealing place, for people to raise their families. I do not believe that the port offers any increased value to the community whatsoever to offset these costs. The only people who stand to benefit from this project do, not live in La Porte and therefore are not concerned about ,the impact to our community. I am not the only person who feels this way. Everyone I speak to in my neighborhood has raised similar concerns. Please help all members of the La Porte community by opposing Bayport. Thank you, Matt, CUnningham Resident 3919 Sunrise La Port, TX 77571 LETTER #4 Dear La Porte City Cou~cil, As a 34 year old and 5 year resident of La Porte, I am deeply concerned about the Port of Houston's planned Bayport expansion. ,La Porte may be the best kept secr~t in Texas and the possibilities for this waterfront community,are limitless. However, we must protect our community and environment from the' wreckless expansion of the Port of Houston so that future generations can enjoy La Porte as we know it - a serene waterfront community. Should the Port of Houston succeed in Bayport; the trucks, warehouses, and pollution that will accompany it will cause an exodus, first by wildlife and then by citizens like myself. As stewards to the future of La Porte, I encourage you to oppose the Bayport Expansion and join the coalition of Bay area communities in opposition. Sincerely i, Jonathan Goddard 3913 Sunrise Dr. La Porte, TX 77571 PLEASE EMAIL THE CITY AND FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS IN LA PORTE. Thank you.

I am writing to reiterate that the LaRocque family is strongly apposed to the proposed expansion of. Bayport. I am apposed to this expansion for a number of reasons. The proposed rail extension will run through our back yard in Bay Oaks ( south of Ellington Field). The increased water and road traffic will effectively turn the unique community of LaPorte into another mega truck stop. True we can move RYC and even truer there will be other parts of the Galveston Bay to use but the point is we will move. Your residents will be very hard pressed to escape the pollution, congestion and potential environme~ta1 hazards associated with this. expansion. I note that a recent explosion and fire rocked the LaPorte area. After much confusion ~d denial by the processing company the true story carrie out about this incident. But this was after many hours delay. Have the industrial 'partners' in this area earned your trust? I think not.

I am a La Porte resident and active user of Galveston Bay. I am opposed to the proposed Bayport Container Terminal because I have reviewed the Army Corps of Engineers studies and findings. and it is clear that the Corps has not considered the alternative locations and has turned a blind eye to the devastating impact on our area. , There are far, far better areas to locate a facility of this magnitude. and the City should join the legal effort to ensure that all these options are explored fully. Our region deserves no less. Joining the ongoing litigation helps ensure that .decisions of executive agencies are reviewed by the judicial arm of our government.. .

It is your duty to oppose this wasteful and dangerous facility because it will negatively affect our city and its citizens. For the reasons mentioned below, the actions (or inaction) of yourself and your colleagues will decide how I vote at the next election. '. . . The bottom line is there are SO,OQO people within 3 miles of the site, better alternatives exist and there is no economic need. 1) SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT MUST BE ISSUED There is information contained in the latest statement that is being made public Cor the first time. Information regarding noise pollution violations and alternative sites was withheld from previous reports. Because there was not enough time Cor public comment, an injunction must be' issued so that these issues can be analyzed in depth. . .2) POLLUTION - . A main pollutant will be diesel exhaust~ which is a known carcinogen. 'Q1ere ~e 50,000 people ~ithin 3 miles of the proposed site. This is a human tragedy. The statement also notes the Port of Houston will be in violation for air pollution. The port proposes to water the facility to stay within regulations. But this would require more than 27,000,000 gallons of water every day. The port proposes wasting the more water in a day than what is consumed by n~arly 80,000 Camilies! 3) ENVIRONMENTAL ALTERNATIVES . The Port of Houston initially suggested that the Bayport site was the only economically feasible location. However, the latest reports indicate the cost oC an alternate site on Spillman's Island . is 76%>> less than originally estimated. Since the cost is not as high as the Port Authority estimated, the Corp of Engineers is obligated to consider this location. The Port ofHousto~ insists that other locations are not suitable since the container yard and cruise terminal must be together. This is not true. There are zero overlapping infrastructures between tourists and industry in port facilities. If the two terminals are separated, the land needed for the container terminal is less and more alternate sites are Ceasible and must be considered. The Corp of Engineers has already issued a permit for a nearly identical facility at Shoal Point 7/14/2003 e e Page 2 of4 in Texas City, which is less than 2S mUes away. Amazingly, this critical fact is ignored in the tinal statement. The Corp. has an obligation to find the site with the least environmental impact to the region. Since the Texas City site has already been determined to have the least impact, the Bayport facility is more damaging to the environment than other alternatives. 7/14/2003 e e Page 3 of 4 4) INCONSISTENT APPLICATION OF LAW The methodology used to develop the impact statement for Bayport was inconsistent with a previously permitted facility in Texas City. This inconsistency must be investigated. .. 5) .DECEPTION BY THE PORT OF HOUSTON' - They said the cost for Spillman's Island development was $600,000/acre. Now they say it is $140,000. Tms WAS A LIE. - They said that Bayport was the region's only alternative, despite the issuance of a permit for a nearly identical facility less than 25 miles away. THIS WAS A LIE. - They said Barbour's Cut would not lower home prices in Morgan's Point. THIS WAS A LIE. The Port of Houston has a history of deception and their claims must be suspect. 6) GOVERNMENT WASTE The Port of Houston Authority does not have any motivation to wisely spend taxpayer's money. The already permitted. facility in Texas City is being built by private entities, which will reduce the demand of shipping companies at Barbour's Cut by taking the Port Authorities customer's. Despite this reality, the port is proceeding with a project the "smart money" has already' abandoned. . The Port of Houston Authority is working to undermine private investment by pursuing an uneconomic facility. This is an example of government wasting citizen's tax dollars. 7) A NEW TERMINAL IS NOT NEEDED . My education and profession are maritime transportation, and all of my colleagues confirm a new facility is not needed if the Port of Houston operated a modern facility at Barbour's Cut. Some have estimated that the existing facility at Barbour's Cut is only at 40% capacity. And they say they need another terminal? The Port's own statistics show there were only 640 ship calls last year. This is less than 2 per day, but the Port wants to build a terminal with seven berths, which will handle less business after many customers will move to Texas City. This is a waste of resources. 8) NATIONAL SECURITY . Container terminals are an easy way for terrorists to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into . the U.S. D,?es it m~e sense to have a potential threat within an hour's walk of 50,000 people? 9) TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK The Port's own documents note that there wi~ not be rail service at the terminal for many years, so containers will have to be trucked to a rallway. This will introduce thousands of industrial vehicles that will be a danger to the surrounding communities. Additional traffic deaths are certain. Although the facility will cost 1.2 billion, not a single penny is included for new roads, which the Port admits will be needed. . For the reasons stated above, it is your responsibility on behalf of your citizens to oppose this wasteful and dangerous facility. Defeating the Bayport Container yard is in the best interest of the city and of its citizens. .

STRUCTURAL DESIGN FOR FIRE SAFETY A new WIley publication by Andrew H. Buchanan bridges the information gap between fire safety engineers, structural engi- neers and building inspectors. Starting with the fundamentals of fire and fire safety, it gives an introduction to real fire expo- silre and structural response. Methods of calculating fire severity and achieving fire resistance are described, including fire penonnance of the main struCllJr.Ji materials including structural steel, reinforced concrete and timber construction. Expert guidance is provided on interpreting code requirements for fire safety; under- standing the behavior of structural elements and buildings exposed to fires; design- ing steel, concrete and timber structures.to resist fire exposure; and assessing the fire perfonnance of existing structures. Includes numerous photographs and illus- trations, and valuable calculations and worked examples unawilable elsewhere.

"Oh, you're an engi- neer what do engineers do?" Most people are clue- less as to what engineers do in today's society. The most common concepts of engineers are either of a techno-geek with black, horn-rimmed glasses and uncombed hair in wrinkled high-water black pants and a wrinkled white shirt accessorized with a pocket protector stuffed with pencils, pens and a drawing scale, or of a train engineer cheerfully waving from the cab of his train in a greasy gray- and-white striped uniform holding a matching striped hat in his hand. Most of us, engineers that is, would like to ask if they want the long version of what engineers do or the short version. The short version is, "I'm a civi ical engineer."

Without taking a breath, we would continue and ask the rhetorical question, "But what about engi- neers in the future?" Now we wouldn't be able to resist talking about Star Trek and how in almost all the episodes they adapt their advanced 23rd-Century technology so that the Enterprise is saved, and usu- ally it's the engineer, Scotty, Geordi or B'Elanna, who is the hero. Hence the popularity of Star Trek with engineers, being the only show that has to have an engineer as one of the starring characters. In the episode, "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky," the Enterprise encounters a space- ship that is an artificial asteroid which was built by the occupants' ancestors generations ago in an effort to escape the destruction of their solar system. The asteroid spaceship is so technologically advanced it requires no engineers to maintain it, but real engi- neers scoff here because we all know that one of the rewards of being an engineer is that we will never be obsolete. Engineering is an ever-challenging profes- sion because technology is advancing at such a rapid pace. That rapid pace of technological change is an advantage in disguise to engineers, as they must stay current with new technologies and, in so doing, engi- neers never become outmoded. An example of this is the newest engineering field, nanotechnology. Scien- tists are discovering the atomic world and engineers are using those discoveries to engineer machines at (continued) This article originally appeared in the January 2003 edition of the wiliki 0 hawaii newsletter.

Our current code requirements and fire-test standards present a situation where two wall assemblies with the same hourly fire-resistance rating do not necessarily provide the same level of protection.

Conclusion The U.S. is suffering from staggering fire losses in terms of lives lost and injuries sustained, as well as property damage and collateral losses. According to Fire in the United States: 1989-1998, "Thousands of Americans die each year, tens of thousands of people are injured, and property losses reach billions of dollars. There are huge indirect costs of fire as well- temporary lodging, lost business, medical expenses, psychological damage, pets killed, and others. To put this in context, the annual losses from floods, hurri- canes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other natural disas- ters combined in the United States average just a frac- tion of the casualties from fires." As such, fire safety has been and will continue to be an active focus of the building code development more stringent most critically linked to fire- and life-safety. To this end, the hierarchy in Table 1 is proposed. Applying this approach would result in higher durability of the speci- fied elements under fire conditions. Conversely, fire- separation walls not linked to the more critical fire- and life-safety functions can be less durable, requiring the duplicate specimen hose-stream test or no hose-stream test at all, as allowed by ASTM E119 for wall assem- blies having fire-resistance ratings of less than I-hour. A durability hierarchy such as the one proposed can result in a cost-effective approach to compartmentation.

Clearly, application of the hose stream to a specimen that has undergone the full fire-exposure test is and indicates level of more rigorous test procedures, two distinct levels of durability - department and other rough usage that often occurs during a real fire, which can never be truly replicated in a laboratory fire test. Performance-based building codes provide the logical place to apply this distinction. Assemblies with higher durability are better suited for areas of a building where their physical toughness can help ensure safe egress, provide safe haven, protect fire fighters, prevent fire- spread and assure structural stability. For example, stair- wells and exit passageways constructed using high- durability materials decrease the chance of a collapse or premature breach, and potentially allow a longer time for safe egress, rescue and fire suppression. Similarly, high durability should be required for building assem- blies intended to provide safe haven for the duration of a fire. The two groups of our population at highest risk-those over 60 and under 5 years of age-represent one-third of the nation's fire deaths, according to Fire in the United States: 1989-1998. Undoubtedly, the highest level of both fire endurance and physical integrity should be applicable to safe areas for those unable to safely exit a burning building.

The standard is used to measure the hourly fire-resistance rating of wall, floor and rpof assemblies, and to indicate an assembly's expected durability during a fire. It is this second criterion-durability-that could be better utilized to refine the required protection levels for wall assemblies deemed critical to fire- and life-safety. determined using two types of test exposures: fire hose stream. For the fire-exposure test, a controlled fire is applied to the assembly being tested until anyone of three failure criteria are reached. The elapsed time until failure is the hourly fire-resistance rating of the tested wall. floor or roof assembly. The ASTM E1l9 fire-resistance ratings for walls are and an example, compartmentation and automatic suppres- sion both help to contain and control fire spread. Further, in the event the' sprinkler system fails to operate pro- perly during a fire, the passive protection offered by fire- separation walls aid in containing the fire until it can be brought under control by the fire department. Similarly, compartmentation and automatic detection work to- gether to contain and control fire spread and provide for early and safe occupant evacuation. Automatic detection also provides early notification to the fire department, allowing emergency personnel to respond before the fire grows to a point where it might breach the compartmen- tation barriers. In the event that the detection system fails to operate properly, the passive protection system (compartmentation) is designed to contain the fire until the occupants have evacuated and the fire department has been manually notified. According to ASTM El19, the hose-stream exposure test may be performed in one of two ways. Either way, the test assembly is subjected to the impact, erosive force and thermal stress of a hose stream immediately - 19 Journa Compartmentation means dividing a building into fire compartments enclosed by fire walls or fire-separation wall assemblies and by fire-resistance-rated floors or floor/ceiling assemblies. Compartments also minimize the spread of toxic fumes and smoke to adjacent areas, provide areas of refuge for those incapable of unassisted evacuation or when evacuation is precluded due to smoke filled exit passageways or blocked exits, and pro- vide protection for fire and rescue personnel during fire- fighting operations. Highly hazardous areas such as mechanical, electrical or storage rooms can be isolated by fire-separation walls from occupied areas of a build- ing. Fire-separation walls and floor/ceiling assemblies between dwelling units in multifamily housing and between guest rooms in hotels also serve to afford occu- pants protection from fires in adjacent units. to nearby explo- ,by the fire after the fire-exposure test. The basic hose-stream test described in the standard requires two identical wall assemblies. The first assembly is subjected to the fire- exposure test to determine its hourly fire-resistance rating. The second specimen is subjected to the fire- exposure test for one-half the time recorded as the fire- resistance period (but not for more than one hour). The second assembly is then removed, and the hose stream is applied to the specimen. The optional hose-stream test method in ASTM E 119 allows the hose stream to be applied to a specimen that has undergone the full fire-exposure test, obviating the need to test a duplicate assembly. In order to pass either hose-stream test, the wall assembly must remain intact, demonstrated by not allowing water to project through its unexposed side. Much has been written about the original intent of the hose-stream test. and whether today's application of the test remains true to the original intent. It is perhaps more relevant, however, to evaluate the hose-stream test in light whether the test results can be usefully applied to modern performance-based building fire codes. Whichever hose-stream test method is used, the test provides a meaningful measure of durability during a fire. The hose-stream test provides an indication of how well a given assembly can endure fire exposure as well as falling debris, pressure waves due sions, actual fire-hose streams f I t ~ I ~ I' , , ,I I ,I Home Safety · Intel Corporation Corporation Association of Home the Union of North America the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters Northwest Microsoft the National Builders Laborers International, Region . . . . .

Ideally, a particular building's fire-safety features provide a level of redundancy or overlapping protection to help ensure adequate protection even if one system is compromised, impaired or otherwise fails to perform as intended. This redundancy can be accomplished by applying a balanced design philosophy to a building's fire-protection program. Balanced design relies on three complementary life-safety and property protection sys- tems: automatic detection systems to provide early warn- ing to occupants and the fire department, compartmenta- tion to contain fire spread and provide safe havens, and automatic suppression to control or limit fire growth. As ASHRAE Issues Guidance on Protecting Public A new risk management strategy for building owners has been issued by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The report, "Risk Management Guidance for Health, Safety and Environmental Security Under Extraordinary Inci- dents," was presented at ASHRAE's 2003 Winter Meeting. remarked James Woods, Ph.D., P.E., chair of the ad hoc commit- tee that prepared the report.

Building Safety Infrastructure Protection Workshop Results Sponsored by a diverse group of associations and agencies, including TlSP, the Critical Infrastructure Protection Prior- ities Workshop was hosted by the Executive Office of the President's Office of Science and Technology Policy on September 23-24, 2002.

Applying a Balanced Design Approach able levels of safety for occupants and emergency personnel. Current building codes address suppression and fire service delivery mechanisms in the form of requirements for automatic sprinklers and smoke alarms. From the best There are many strategies available to address fire prevention. Certainly, public education and awareness are critical. For new buildings, however, the primary line of defense is the building code. From this stand- point, we assume the potential threats posed by fire and then evaluate effective methods of achieving reason- According to the u.s. Fire Administration's recent report, Fire in the United States: 1989-1998, the nation's fire-safety record is one of the worst in the industrialized world. Despite improvements in recent years, the rate of deaths due to fire in the U.S. remains two to three times higher than the European average. The main difference cited in the report? "In general, the United States emphasizes the use of advanced fire- suppression technology and fire-service delivery mech- anisms. Other nations place more emphasis on fire pre- vention Current fire codes address levels of protection in terms of fire-resistance ratings; allowable heights and areas; compartmentation; and the use of such fire-protection features as sprinklers, smoke alarms and noncom- bustible materials. Higher fire-resistance ratings are required of assemblies deemed more critical to protect- ing life safety and property. Identifying the most criti- cal elements and applying the most rigorous standards to them is an attempt at economically improving fire- safety. Perhaps it is time to expand on this system. Elements such as those which help ensure safe passage out of a building, protect the structural integrity of the building as well as increase accessibility for firefight- ers, provide safe haven during a fire, or minimize inte- rior fire spread and prevent fire spread to adjacent buildings should be required to demonstrate higher lev- els of performance. i i I I' I I , tI, public in the future in order to provide increased protection from possible future terrorist incidents. .

"People just didn't know where to go, and people tried to get out the way they came, which was a mistake," said Hall. "They tried to go out the same way they came in. That was the problem. They didn't use the other three fire exits." The nightclub had successfully undergone a fire code compliance inspection December 31 in order to get its liquor license renewed. Sprinklers were not required because of the small size of the building, but a Rhode Island law requires a special license for the detonation of pyrotechnics, and the West Warwick Town Council also has to sign off on any local establishment's application for such a license. At press time, the question as to whether or not the band had the go-ahead from the club's management to use pyrotechnics was hotly disputed by the two parties. "No permission was ever requested by the band or its agents to use pyrotechnics at The Station, and no permission was ever given," said Kathleen Hagerty, a lawyer represent- ing club owners Michael and Jeffrey Derderian. Ed McPherson, the band's attorney, insisted that the musicians had verbal permission to set off the fireworks, and singer Jack Russell said that Great White's manager, Dan Biechele, had made sure the use of pyrotechnics was approved. Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch said a criminal investigation is underway to determine if any charges should be filed in connection with the deadly inferno. ~J than 25 years' experience, Pressly has an extensive record of involvement in various leadership roles at all levels of the association, including most re- Resolutions Com- ident.

The City of Chicago had gone to court in July 2002, to shut down the second-floor E2 nightclub because of 11 building- and fire-code violations, including problems with stairways and exit signs. Circuit Court Judge Daniel Lynch then ordered the owners of E2 to keep the club closed until the violations were fixed. The Epitome restau- rant on the first-floor, also owned by E2 management, was not affected by that order. Dorothy Capers, the city's deputy corporation counsel, said that officials had been to court three more times since the July hearing, most recently in January of this year, try- ing to enforce the order barring use of the second-floor club. Capers noted that the club displayed shoddy rehabilitation work, and stairwells and exit lights that were not up to the city's code. James T. Joyce, commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department, said that on the night of the stampede several of the club's doors were locked and others were blocked by bags of laundry. According to Joyce, most of the victims died when an estimated 1,500 people, approximately twice the club's permitted occupancy, tried to exit down a single narrow staircase after the glass front doors of the club were jammed closed by a crush of bodies. Commissioner Joyce added that in addition to ignoring the court order, the required occu- pancy placard was missing from the second floor. Joyce went on to note that there were no locked or blocked doors when his investi- gators last visited Epitome, but that only the first floor was inspected because the upstairs club was supposed to be closed. Andre Grant second-floor club was was not to Apri an attorney for the E2 owners, denied that the ordered closed and stated that only a small VIP balcony on the second floor be used because of city concerns about the structure. .

According to Webster's New World Dictionary, news is, "new information; information previously unknown; recent happenings." The fact that a building collapsed during an earthquake or burned down is a "new happening." Thus, the destroyed building is the "newsworthy" item. The point is that initially, during or directly after a disaster of any kind, the media will rush out to cover the event. Coverage of the tornado, earthquake or fire is, at first, going to be limited to the structures that were damaged or destroyed, whether there were any injuries or deaths, and other basic facts referring to the amount of devasta- Are you thinking of sending your employees to an off-site seminar?

Journa Building Safety 2003 Apri This assignment has been given twice breadth and scope of case studies found in complete code have been ideal, serving to promote good exchanges of concepts and issues among the students. While refinements continue to be made, student feedback has been positive overall concerning the validity and value of the assignment. Students and the instructor also benefit from a similar assignment each fall during Fire Prevention Week. What students hopefully gain from the BSW assignment is a heightened awareness of the built environment by learning the importance of code enforcement in terms of providing a level of protection to everyone using a building or structure.

The class is primarily comprised of upper-class undergrad- uate students from the construction management, fire science and drafting areas. Designed to provide a working know- ledge of the origin and purpose of established c,onstruction codes and standards, the course provides a review of model codes with specific chapters and issues being selected for discussion and assessment. Throughout the course, students learn to demonstrate and understand the purpose and need for building codes, the interrelationship of government regula- tions and the built environment, what it takes to work in code enforcement, the relationship between building departments and owners/designers/constructors, and a focused back- ground on the use of model codes and standards.

A lecture is conducted regarding the history and intent of BSW and its importance to anyone using the built environment. For assessment pur- poses, students are subsequently required to submit a maxi- mum two-page paper concerning a case study involving building safety, hopefully relating to areas of construction in which they are interested. Students are asked, and are offered help, to locate case studies current to within 24 months of the assignment's due date. In the event they cannot find a current case, they must show that the one they select is relevant to today's code. Students must then identify code chapters and associated sections that are related to the case study, and are asked to evaluate the safety issue in terms of code enforce- ment and its impact on the built environment. The stated objective of Building Safety Week is "0 promote the use, enforcement and understanding of build- ing codes"--goals that parallel much of what is intended for students to gain from Mf&C 3330. To accomplish these objectives, cose studies are used to illustrate code require- ments and, hopefully, their relative importance to each stu- denfs area of vocational interest. !II '.- 7485 N.

Wired glass, a standard choice in schools for decades, does not offer that level of According to the new building codes, fire-rated glazing n K-12 schools and athletic fac meet the safety. The code changes were made due to concerns over impact safety. Although wired glass has a proven track record of performance during fires, it is a relatively low impact product that can pose a real danger when shattered. As a result, the use of wired glass is now being restricted in high traffic areas where it might be subject to extensive human contact. mpact Wireless fire-rated glazing offers schools a better alternative Likewise, Pilkington PyrostopTM is now available with ratings from 45 minutes to 2 hours and also offers high impact safety. Pyrostop has the additional capability of blocking heat transfer in locations where it is required. Fortunately, today there are a number of wireless fire-rated glazing products that exceed the capabilities of wired glass in both fire and impact safety n allowing you to approve them confidently and without making provisions for "directional" products or those that do not pass the hose stream test. r " Ii i TGP offers a number of fire-rated, impact safety-rated alternatives that can help fill the void left by wired glass. Our knowledgeable staff would be happy to answer any questions about what would be appropriate for a specific project. For more information on any of our products, please call1-888-397-FIRE or visit www.fireglass.com For instance, glass ceramic products such as FireLite PlusCD carry .fire ratings up to 3 hours in doors a[1d 90 minutes in other applications. FireLite Plus meets the impact safety standards of CPSC 16CFR1201 (Cat. II), and can be specified in large sizes. More importantly, it can be stocked by schools and cut in the field. much like wired glass. ~ 2000 INTERNATIONAL BUilDING AND RESIDENTIAL CODES: Ul'REFERENCEDSTANDARDS, BUilDING PROVISIONS' .

Welcome to the web site ofICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES), the United States' leading source of technical information on building codes, building products and building technology. This web site, like ICC-ES, has been in operation for only a short time; the site will be evolving rapidly, so we invite you to return often, for newly issued documents, updated information, and the latest news from ICC-ES. Who WeAre ICC-ES is a nonprofit, public-benefit corporation that does technical evaluations of building products, components, methods, and materials. The evaluation process culminates with the issuance of reports on code compliance, which are made available free of charge, on the worldwide Web, to building regulators, contractors, specifiers, architects, engineers, and anyone' else with an interest in the building industry and construction. These people look to ICC-ES evaluation reports for evidence that products and systems meet code requirements. A New Organization, A Long History ICC-ES came into being on February 1, 2003, when America's four building-product evaluation services officially combined their operations. The four "legacy" evaluation services that came together to form ICC-ES were the National Evaluation Service, Inc.; BOCA! Evaluation Services; ICBO Evaluation Service, Inc.; and SBCCI Public Service Testing and Evaluation Services, Inc. Through the legacy evaluation services, ICC-ES has a history that goes back more than seventy years. Our Technical Staff ICC-ES employs highly experienced staff technicians, licensed architects, and professional engineers with expertise in such specialized fields as civil, structural, fire protection, and mechanical engineering. Collectively, the ICC-ES technical staff has literally centuries of experience in evaluating construction products and technology. The Report Process 7/12/2003 ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES) e Page 2 of3 . ~ i; "\ \ The report process begins when a company submits an application for an evaluation report. The application is normally submitted with supporting data such as product information and test reports, along with appropriate fees to cover the cost of the evaluation. (Click here for the fee schedule.) Once the application is received, ICC-ES assigns a member of its technical staff to evaluate the data and work with the applicant to make sure compliance is proven, before a report is issued, with either the building code or an ICC-ES acceptance criteria or evaluation guideline. (The latter documents are approved by an ICC-ES Evaluation Committee that is made up of building officials from across the United States.) Once the applicant has satisfactorily answered all questions raised by ICC-ES staff, and has fulfilled other applicable requirements, an evaluation report is issued and posted on the worldwide Web--where it may be referenced by thousands of building departments and other interested parties. The applicant is also provided with a printed copy of the report. New reports are issued for one year, after which they are re-examined and may be reissued at one- or two-year intervals, depending on the applicant's preference. What ICC-ES Can Do for You . If you are a building regulator, ICC-ES can tell you about products, systems, materials and methods that are code-compliant. . If you are a manufacturer, a report from ICC-ES will make it easier to market your building-related product, because you have solid evidence that your product meets code requirements. The report on your product is available for reference by thousands of building departments, as well as other construction-industry professionals, free of charge, through the worldwide Web. For a tiny unit cost, you reach huge numbers of regulators and end users. . If you are a specifier, designer, architect or contractor, and you want evidence for the local building official that you are using code-complying materials-look for an ICC-ES report! . If you are a member of the general public, you, too, benefit from the work of ICC-ES-because ICC-ES actively promotes public safety in the built environment. Additionally, you can use evaluation reports to help in selection of building products for your own home or other property.

Before a code change is made, it will have been reviewed at several open meetings, over an extended period of time, with the results of each meeting published for public comment. The system also allows anyone not satisfied with a final decision on a code change the opportunity to appeal an action. The ICC Board reviews the appeal and renders its decision based on whether due process was provided. . · Up-to-Date - The International Codes are updated on a regular basis to provide the most up-to-date guidelines for building safety. If there is a need for an immediate change to a code or supplement, the ICC Board can vote to have it effective immediately, with the clause that it can be ratified or revoked at the next final action public testimony. · Professional- Building, fire, and other safety professionals from across the nation and around the world are involved in the development, enforcement and application. of the International Codes~ ' . · No Cost to Public - The ICC is a fully self-supporting nonprofit organization.The revenues used to develop and publish the codes are donated from its member organizations. · Proven - 97 percent of the homes and buildings constructed to code in the United States were based on codes created using the ICC and its members' code development process ; l~ ~~ ~i i ICC develops its codes and standards through an open, inclusive and balanced consensus process with built-in safeguards to prevent domination by any single interest. This system of code development has ensured the citizens of the U.S. the highest level of building safety in the world. Participation in the ICC is encouraged and open to all groups and individuals. e 6 Open, Inclusive & Balanced ~. II.' {~} , · Open - The ICC has an open process of code development. This means that all the meetings are open to the public. It also means that the results from the meetings are available for any member of the public to review and comment on. · Inclusive - Anyone is able to submit a code change proposal and participate in the ICC code development process. · Balanced - All public views and opinions are taken into consideration during the ICC code development process, ensuring a balanced outcome: The committee members represent general interests (consumers, code officials, other government regulatory agencies), user interests (academia, building owners, design professionals, insurance companies), and producer interests (builders, contractors, manufacturers, testing laboratories). To ensure a fair representation, a minimum of one-third of all members of each committee has to be made up of code enforcers 5 ,r .j ilG---'\1~ The ICC famil.y of codes is compr~b~j~ive, J~o~dt~te<1\ajd. up-fo~~:!~ - ~.a~~~i.t~.,. the most functional set of codes govermn9'(~udd}ng::construchon'; i '\\: ~i~,'...... :V;:~\. .. .'1('.. 0",,-::::::--- '-.-:/ , ,,;,.:;'/ -'- \,,' -~," .,; ... ~ --- --'--.". : I. .-" "'- .-.::;::::i ,. ,'. ;" The family of Internationar~~~cle.s,!whlc~~overs_ alldsped~ ~f .tbe built en~iron~ent in~lu~e.~,:>:>~)~ the InternationqLBui/~i,ng Cdde@,lnterna~iona/ Ehergy Conservqpon Code@, InternC?tiona/'~ \ , .~. · ~~ Existing Bui/c:iings.c;6de@, International Fire Code@,lnternationa!.,FueIGos Code@,' .,'- /'; ..;,: ........,-"..... .,- .. ..,... ..,. . . . ,.v lntecnatf6ribf /v't@chanica/ Code@, 'IMernational Performance Co.e~, In.te,rnationa/ P/Umb'/hg; i ,,: ,i.

In 1994, the three model code organizations that have provided codes for the 50 states and U.S. territories formed the International Code Council (ICe). The goal of the ICC was to unify the building industry nationwide. In 1999, the ICC achieved its goal in developing the International Codes - a single family of codes that is being adopted across the country. The unified system will stimulate the building economy, improve safety, and create safer, more efficient and more durable homes and buildings.

Codes must therefore be responsive to the 9 overnmenrs need to protect the public. They must pravide due pracess for all affected and keep pace with rapidly changing technology. These communitles con work together to: develop and maintain codes. During the early 1900s, model building codes were authored by the code enforcement officials of va rious communitles with key. assistance fram all segments of the building industry. Now, model codes are the central regulato'ry basis for the administratlon of pragrams in cities, counties, and s....ates thraughout the United States. They simply represent a collective undertaking"which shares l'h e cost of code development and maintenance while ensuring uniformity of regulations so that the a dvantages of technology can be optlmized. Building safety code enforcement has historically been accomplished by defraying the costs of a d ministration through a system of fees relating to a specific project - a system that is self- su pporting. These fees are generolly less than one percent of the overall cost of the building p roiect. Public protection is thus obtained in a cost-effective manner with the entlre process, -Fro m plan review to field inspection, carried aut in a professional manner. The system is so well' developed that the true complexity of the process is obscure to many.

Architects, engineers, controctors, and others in the building community can toke advantoge of the latest savings to the con~umer. ' In early Americo; George Washington and Thomas Jefferson encouraged the development of building regulatlons to provide for minimum standards that would ensure health and safety.

We rely on the safety of structures that surround us in our everyday living. The public need for protection from disoster due to fire, structural collapse, and general deterioratlon underscores the need for modern codes and their administratlon. HOW RELIABLE ARE THEY? Most aspects of building construction - electrical wiring, heatlng, sonitary focilities - represent a potential hazard to building occupants and users. Building codes provide safeguords. Although no code can eliminate all risks, reducing risk to an acceptable level helps. WHAT IS A BUILDING CODE? Practically, it is the governments official statement on building safety. Technically, it is a compendium of minimum safety standards arranged in a systematic manner (codified) for easy reference. It embraces all aspects of building construction - fire, structural, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical. For more information about building codes and local requirements, contact your local building department below: WHAT IF I WANT TO DO A BUILDING PROJECT MYSELF? Building departments have pamphlets and brochures explaining, in detail, how to obtoin permits and design and construct a sofe building.

A 'building permit gives you legal permission to stort construction of a building , project in accordance with approved drawings and specificatlons. When Do You Need a Permit? The best way to find out if you need a permit is to call your local building deportment. Discuss your plans with the code official before beginning construction to determine whether you need a permit. Even if a permit is not needed, the code afficial will onswer construction questlons and may provide valuable advice. Permits are usually required for the following: .,. ".;.-New buildings '. ." Additlons (bedrooms, bathrooms, family rooms, etc.) ~ Residentlal work (decks, garages, fences, fireplaces, pools, woter heaters, etc.) ~ Renovatlons (garage conversions, 'basement furnishings, kitchen expansions, reroofing, etc.) ~ Electrical systems ~ Plumbing systems . HVAC (heatlng, ventllotlng and air-conditloning) systems Your home or business is an investment. If your construction project does not comply with the codes adopted by your community, the value of your investment could be reduced. Property insurers may not cover work done without permits and inspections. If you decide to sell a home or building that has had modificatlons without a permit, you may be required to tear down the additlon, leave it unoccupied or make costly repairs. A property owner who can show that code requirements were strictly and consistently met-as demonstrated by a code official's carefully maintained records-has a strong ally if something happens to trigger a potentlally destructive lawsuit. Your permit also allows the code official to protect the public by reducing the potentlol hazords of unsofe construction and ensuring public health, safety and welfore. By following code guidelines, the completed project will meet minimum stondards of sofety and will be less likely to cause injury to you, your fomily, your friends or future owners. ..

THE SIMPLE PERMIT PROCESS b Talk to Your Local Code OOicial Your code official wants your project to be a success and will help you avoid potentlal problems that could cost you tlme and money. You will be asked some bosic questions (What are you planning to do? Where?), advised of any requirements, and, if necessary, referred to other departments for their approval. The code official will provide you with the resources and informatlon needed for complionce with the applicoble building codes. You will then receive an applicotion for a building permit. b Submit Application At this stage you will document the "Who, What, When, Where and How" of the job, along with any sketches or plans of the proposed work. b Review Process In 0 brief amount of ftme, the code official will review your plans and determine if your project is in compliance with local requirements. If your plans meet these requirements, a permit is issued. If not, the code official may suggest solutlons to help correct the problem. b Receive Permit Now that you have been approved for a permit, you hove legal per- mission to stort construction. A fee, based on the size of the job, is collected to cover the cost of the applicatlon, the !eview and the inspection process. An experienced code official is available to you should you hove any questions concerning your project. You should consider your code official as on al~ who will help you make your project a success. Separate permits are typical~ required for electricol, plumbing, and heotlnQ or air-conditloning work. ,fbJ Job-site Visits On-site inspernons will be required to make certain the work conforms to the permit, locol codes ond pions. Again, you will have access to the expertise of the code official to help you with questions or concems regarding the project and to minimize potentlally costly mistokes. The code official will let you know approximotely how mony inspections moy be needed for your project.

How the IPMC Can Help The IPMC con help locol offidals enforce the cleanup of existlng properties and thus combat the spread of mosquitoes and mosquito-bome viruses. Chapter 3 of the IPMC has severol sections that directly address eljminatlng mosquito-breeding areas and preventlng mosquitoes from entering buildings. Section 301.3, for example, requires property owners to maintoin vacont land "so as not to couse a blightlng problem or adverse~ affect the public health or safety." Section 302 requires property to be graded and dmined so that there will be no accumulatlon of stagnant woter. That section also sets requirements for weeds and other excess-plant growth, as well as requiring swimming pools to be clean and sonitory. Section 304.7 also addresses proper drainage of roofs and gutters. All of these issues directly affect mosquito control. Even more directly, Section 304.14 requires that insect screens be present and properly maintoined and for swinging doors to have a pmper closing device. Section 307 deals with the accumulatlon and disposal of garbage and rubbish, and Section 308 addresses the exterminatlon of insects. After the worst outbreak of West Nile virus in U.S. history, health officials are focusing on preventive methods to help erodicate the spread of this potentially fatal disease. The virus is spread by mosquitoes, and taking preventive measures such os using insect repellant, wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants while outdoors, and avoiding peak mosquito hours at dusk and down are effective ways to combat the spread of the disease. There are other woys of fightlng the spread of West Nile virus as well, including the eliminatlon of mosquitoes' breeding areas. From a structural standpoint, areas of stagnant water around homes and buildings should be eliminated, and screens aver windows and doors should be "bug fight." Garbage and waste should be disposed of properly, and roofs and gutters should be properly drained. The enforcement of building codes by government jurisdictians con help property owners eliminate mosquitoes' breeding areas. lost year, the Internatlonal Code CoundlGll {IC(8) teamed up with health officials at the federal, state and locol levels in an aggressive compaign to fight West Nile virus and other vector-borne diseuses. The adoptlon and enforcement of ICC's International Praperly Maintenance Code'" {IPM(8) has been found to be an effective tool code officials con use to achieve source-point reductian of mosquitoes. Prevention is the Key West Nile virus was first isolated in 1937 in the West Nile district of Uganda. Outbreaks hove been reported in Israel, South Africo, ltoly, France, Russia and Morocco. Recent West Nile activity has been scattered thioughout the U.S., with 40 states reporting outbreaks. As of February 2003, 4,071 coses of the diseuse had been reported, along with 274 futolitles. The states that were hit the hardest include Illinois, Indiana, louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Texas. Taking steps to prevent mosquito bites and eliminating their breeding areas are the keys to eradicating the spread af West Nile virus.

A Although the vast majority of infections have been identified in birds, West Nile virus has been shown to infect horses, cats, bats, chipmunks, skunks, squirrels, and domestic mbbits. Q (an you get West Nile virus directly from birds? A There is no evidence that 0 person can get the virus from handling live or dead infected birds. However, persons should avaid bare-handed contoct when handling any dead animals and use gloves or double plastic bags to place the carcass in a garbage can. Q Can I get infected with West Nile virus by coring for an infected horse? A West Nile virus is tmnsmilted by infectious mosquitoes. There is no documented evidence of person-to-person or animal-to-person transmission of West Nile virus. Normal veterinary infection control precauftans should be followed when caring for a horse suspected to have this or any viml infection. Q How does West Nile virus actually cause severe illness and death in humans? A Following transmission by an infected mosquito, West Nile virus multiplies in the person's blood system ond crosses the blood-brain barrier to reach the broin. The virus interferes with normol central nervous system functioning and causes inflammation of bmin ftssue. Q Who is at risk for geffing West Nile encephalifts?

Municipalities and states across America adopt and enforce the International Codesâ„¢. .. ICC develops construction and public safety codes through the governmental consensus process. This system of code development has provided the citizens of the U.S. the highest level of safety in the world for more than 80 years. The ICC governmental consensus process meets the principles defined by the National Standards Strategy of 2000; OMS Circular A-119, Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities (1998). It complies with Public Law 104-113 National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995. The following principles govern ICC's governmental consensus process: OPENNESS: o Participation in the development of the codes, including code hearings, is open to all at no cost. o Anyone can submit a code change proposal or make a publiC comment. o Code committees must consider all views before voting. TRANSPARENCY: [] Evidence of committee vote, with reason, must be documented. [] Final decisions are made in an open hearing by public safety officials. BALANCE OF INTEREST: [] Committee members represent general interests, user interests, producer interests, or multiple interests. One-third of the committee's members must be public safety officials. o Committee members cannot vote on issues that are a conflict of interest. o Membership on a committee is not conditional on membership in ICC.

Molds con have useful purposes. Life-saving penicillin is derived from mold. Many foods, such as blue cheese, require mold as part of the manufacturing process. And as owners of compost piles know, mold plays an important role in the cycle of nature, helping to break down organic materials. But .the mold that a growing number of builders and homeowners are encountering poses significant problems. Unchecked mold growth on interior wood, wallboard, paper and carpet has been blamed for serious illnesses. It can be exceedingly difficult to eradicate, and has even rendered some buildings uninhabitable. This mold has the some root causes as food mold. TIny spores-less than 4 microns in size-land on damp spots when excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors. These spores then begin digesting whatever they are growing on in order ta survive and spread. According ta the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there is no pmctical woy ta eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. But mold can be controlled by controlling moisture. It takes a concerted effort to maintain a mold-resistant building. Builders and contmctors must careful~ construct buildings in accordance with approved plans and follow good construction practices in assembling the building components. Building owners and tenants must be observant and take immediate steps ta maintain existing buildings and their systems ta prevent moisture from accumulaftng. General TIps for Preventing Mold Here are some commonsense precauftons that builders, homeawners, amVor building owners can follow to avaid mold and ensure heolth and sofety when building or maintaining a structure. · Fix leaky plumbing and leaks in the building envelope as soon as possible. · Watch for candensofton and wet spots. . Fix sources of moisture problems as soon as possible. - - - e e e e e e ~ Prevent moisture caused by condensofton by increasing surface temperature or reducing the moisture level in air (humidity). · Insulate or increose air circulafton ta increase surface tempemture. 8> Increase venftlafton (if outside air is cold and dry), or dehumidi~ (if outdoor air is warm and humid) ta reduce the moisture level in air, repair leaks, ete. t> Keep heating, ventilation and air-conditioning drip pans clean, flowing properly and unobstructed. t> Vent moisture-generating appliances, such as dryers, to the outside where possible. I> Maintain low indoor humidity, below 60 percent relaftve humidity (RH), ideally 30 ta 50 percent, if possible. 8> Adhere to a regular schedule of building/HVAC inspections and maintenance. I> Provide drainage outside foundafton walls, and slope the ground away from the foundafton ta speed drying after rainfalls. What the Codes Say The I(C International Codes 1M are the minimum requirements necessary to ensure sofety. According ta these codes, builders and owners must fight the problem of mold with a three-fold opproach. 1. There must be proper ventilafton of all interior habitable and occupiable areas along with specific cancealed spaces. · See Section 1203 of the International Building Code"', Section R303 of the International Residential Code~, I and Chapter 4 of the International Mechanical Code"'. 2. The exterior envelope of all buildings must be provided with vapor retarders, water- resistant barriers and the necessary flashing. ~ See Chapter 14 of the Internationol Building Code and Section R703 of the International Residential Code. 3. The maintenance of existing buildings and structures is of the utmost importance. This indudes not only the exterior of the structure but also its plumbing and mechanical systems. · See Sections 304, 403 and 504 of the International Property Maintenance Code"'. ...

I~) () If You Have To Remove Mold: Guidelines for Remediation Maid can genemlly be removed from nonporous (hard) surfaces by wiping or scrubbing with water or a combinafton of water and detergent. The use of a biocide, such as chlorine bleach, is not recommended os a rouftne practice during mold cleanup. Remember, biocides are taxic ta humans, as well as ta mold, and you should read and follow label precauftons. Never mix chlorine bleach solufton with cleaning soluftons or detergents that contain ammonia because toxic fumes could be produced. When a mold problem is discovered, it is important to protect the health of everyone involved-tenants, cantractors and wark crews. These guidelines will help, even ~ you have little or no experience with mold remediafton. Refer ta these guidelines when evaluating an in-house remediafton plan or a remediafton plan submitted by an outside cantmctor. Cantractors and Othlll professionals who respond to mold and moisture situations in commercial buildings and schools will also find these guidelines essenftal. Investigate and evaluate moisture and mold problems. ~ Assess the size of the moldy area (square feet). ~ Consider the possibility of hidden mold. ~ Clean up small mold problems and fix moisture problems before they become large problems. ~ Select a remediation manager for medium- or large-sized mold problems. ~ Investigate areas associated with occupant camplaints. ~ Idenft~ sources or causes of water or moisture problems. ~ Note type of water-damaged materials (wallboard, carpet). ~ Check inside air ducts and air-handling unit. ~ Throughout process, consult qualified professional if necessary or desired. C) MOLD PREVENTION Communicate with building occupants at 011 stages of process, os appropriate. ~ Designate 0 contact person for quesftons and comments about medium- or large-scale remediation as needed. Develop 0 remediation plan. ~ Adapt or modi~ remediafton guidelines ta fit your situafton; use professional judgment. ~ Select cleanup methods for moldy items. ~ Select personal protection equipment to protect remediators. ~ Select containment equipment to protect building occupants. . Select experienced remediafton personnel. ~ Address the moisture problem at its source. Implement repair and/or maintenance plan. ~ Dry wet, non moldy materials within 48 hours ta prevent mold growth. ~ Clean and dry moldy materials. ~ Discord moldy porous items that cannot be cleaned. During Cleanup Efforts: Reducing Your Exposure to Mold During any mold cleanup process, mold spores will be released inta the air. For protecfton during the cleanup operaftan: ~ Use a HEPA filter respiratar ta reduce the number of mold spores you breathe in. ~ Wear protective clothing that can be discarded. ~ Wear rubber gloves. . Work for a short while and then take breaks in the fresh oir. ~ Work with windows open and keep them open after cleanup. ~ Turn off heat and air condiftoning ta prevent spores from being spread ta other areas of the house. ~ If there is an air return vent in the roam, caver it ftghdy. ~ Place a fan in a window to blow air out of the affected room. ~ Double-bag all cleanup materials before removal from contaminated area. If you use outside contractors or professionals, make sure they have experience cleaning up mold, check their references and have them follow the recommendations presented in this brochure.

Building code provisions address structural stability, fire safety, exits, sanitation, safe wiring and more. It is the code official's responsibility to protect the public health, safety and welfare through effective code enforcement. Code Enforcement Process The code enforcement process is iniftated with an applicafton for a permit to canstruct or remodel a building. Canstruction plans are then reviewed for compliance with the building code. Once construction has begun, the cade official makes inspections to determine that construction is proceeding accarding to the reviewed plan. If a building or a component does not comply, the code official issues orders ta correct the problems. Code OHidals As the person in charge of the Building Department, the code official maintains official records pertaining ta permit applicaftons, permits, fees collected, inspections, noftces and orders issued. This dacumentafton provides a valuable resource for information if questions arise during and after the construction process. The code official also assists designers and builders by interpreftng a code's applicafton ta particular situaftons; by explaining minimum requirements and answering questions; and by investigaftng and resolving complaints involving llxisftng buildings and sites. In small cammuniftes and rural areas, a single code official may be responsible for building inspections, plumbing inspections, fire prevenfton inspections, mechanical and electrical inspections, building and zoning administrafton, and the like. In larger metropolitan areas, each of these tasks may be performed by a different specialized staff member. Inspedors Inspectors usually specialize in one type of construction work: building; public works; electrical; mechanical;. plumbing; housing or fire prevenftan. Federal, state and local governments employ various types of inspectors ta ensure projects conform ta applicable codes. Architectural and engineering firms hire inspectors ta ensure workers complete the projects in accordance with codes and specificaftons. Inspectors may also work as consultants for private inspection agencies that assist jurisdictions and design firms. All inspectors apply the principles and methods of construction to judge the work and decide whether it camplies with applicable standards or codes. They make preliminary inspections during the first stages of the project, examine materials ta be sure they meet the specificaftons called for, and perform follow-up inspections thraughout canstruction to ensure compliance with regulaftons. For some projects, various inspectors work tagether throughout the construction pracess ta ensure that the project meets code requirements. Employment opportuniftes are available in both the private business sector and governmental agencies. Many states, county townships, or local communiftes have fully staffed offices, which conduct plan reviews for all buildings ond structures intended ta be constructed in that jurisdiction. large architectuml and engineering firms also have plan review departments ta evaluate a praposed project from the conceptual phase through the final ready-for-construction documents. Cade-consulftng businesses pravide plan review services for organizaftons that do not have reviewers on staff. - - - - Types of Inspectors ~ Budding inspedurs review dmwings and specificaftons for planned projects, and they visit building sites being considered for development ta check drainage, elevafton and placement of buildings on the plat. These inspectors examine and approve floor framing, woll framing, roofs and ceilings, chimneys and all other items that are part of the building structure. As each building phase is campleted, inspections are required before the work can progress. When pmjects are fully completed, a comprehensive inspection is performed and a certificate of occuponcy is issued by the building inspector. ~ Public worb inspecfors are responsible for checking government prajects such as airports, highwoys, woter and - sewer systems, streets, bridges and dams. They inspect digging and fill operations, as well as the placement of forms for concrete. They also observe the concrete mixing and pouring, asphalt paving and grading opemftons and keep records of all work performed and the materials used. Public works inspectors may be specialists in one kind of operaftan, such as reinforced concrete, dredging or ditches. ~ Bedriml inspecfors check the quality of materials, installafton work and sofeguards in electrical systems. They make sure electrical systems meet city, state or naftonal ~odes, and electrical codes and standards. Electrical inspectors look closely at new wiring and fixtures in businesses, public buildings and homes. ~ Medtaniml inspecfors focus on heaftng, venftlaftng and air-condiftoning concerns. This includes inspections of: mechanical appliances and equipment; air distribufton systems; kitchen exhaust equipment; boilers and woter heaters; hydronic piping; gas piping systems; flammable and combustible liquid starage and piping systems; fireplaces, chimneys, and vents; refrigerafton systems and incinerators and cremataries. The mechanical inspector also checks for air quality and energy conservafton measures. ~ Plumbing Inspedors check for proper design and installafton of plumbing systems, induding sonitary and storm dminage systems; sonitary fociliftes, water supplies and storm water and sewage disposol in buildings. ~ Fire inspedors check nonresidenftal buildings annually ta ensure that appropriate fire sofety practices are being followed. Inspections for fire prevenfton are usual~ performed by the local fire department or fire prevenfton bureau. ~ Property mainl8nanll or housing inspedars inspect existing buildings to check for health or sofety violaftons and the candifton of the exterior praperly. Plan Reviewer ~ The plan reviewer, or examiner, usually begins the evaluaftan process by examining the construction documents used ta describe a project, including architectural, structural, site plan, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and fire protection drawings, as well as the corresponding specificaftons, structuml design calculaftons and soil reports. As these items are examined for cade compliance, deficiencies are cited and can be resolved by revising the construction documents. After revising the documents, a permit ta begin construction can be issued. A plan reviewer must have working knowledge of construction cade requirements, and must be fomiliar with all construction documents produced by the designer of the project. Expertise is required in reading drawings and plans for basic construction techniques, along with an understanding of engineering and architectuml definiftons and symbols. A background in architecture or engineering is beneficial ta canduct plan reviews. CAREERS IN r-J CODE ENFORCEMENT ,,-.J Working Conditions and Hours On construction sites, inspectors may work out of a field office where they read blueprints, review correspondence, write reports or schedule inspections. The rest of their time is spent inspecting construction sites, which may be dirty and c1ultered with taols, materials, vehicles or debris. Inspectors typically work a 40- hour wee~ but overtime may also be required seasonally, or ta meet a deadline. Earnings in the construction industry are higher than those of most other industries. Construction workers in and around large ciftes typically make higher woges than workers in rural areas. Inspectors earn a yearly solary based on experience, educafton, locafton and actuol job requirements ranging from $25,850 to $97,000. Benefits include paid vacaftons and holidays, sick leave, medica' and life insumnce, and some form of retirement or pension progmm. Education and Certification A high-school diploma or the equivalent is the minimum requirement. Many employers require inspectors to have worked in the construction trades, completed an apprenftceship program, studied engineering or architecture for at least two years, or have an Associate's degree from 0 community college with courses in construction technology, blueprint reading, mathemaftcs, building inspection or public administmfton. ~..,~ " ~~~~:.,....'

PREPARE YOUR FAMILY' Although no one can prevent natural disasters from occurring, there are many things you can do to make the impact less devastating far your family. Every home should have 3 key elements in place before a disaster strikes: 1. Evacuafton Plan 2. Communicafton Plan 3. Emergency Supply Kit Evacuation Plan i: In the event of an emergency such os a flood, wildfire, tornado, or hurricane, you may be instructed ta evacuate your house. Depending on the type of natuml disaster, you may have to travel 20 to 50 miles ta get your family ta safety. Establish a "safety desftnation" (like a friend or relative's house some distance away) and plan several different routes ta get there so you can drive around raadblocks or hazards. Practice your plan and become fomiliar with each route sa you will be better prepared. You may need to turn off your gas, water ond electricity before you evacuate. Each member of the house should learn when and how to do this. Know Your Neighbors Find out if any of your neighbors will need extra help during an emergency. The elderly, disabled, and people with small children may need you to lend a helping hand. e e ~', Communication Plan During an emergency it is usually easier to make long distance calls, sa choose an out-of-state relaftve ta be your fomily's "communicafton center." Be sure that each member of your fomily knows the name and phone number for this person in case you are sepamted. By having everyone call one central person, it will be easier for you to check on each other and reunite after a disaster. I' / ! 1/ / /' '\ ,..// - -\ '\ ',-.~./ Emergency Supply Kit Whether you are preparing for an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, flood or wildfire, you will need the following basic items in your kit: ~ battery-operated radio and extra batteries ~ flashlight and extra batteries .. baltery-operated lantern and extra batteries · first oid kit and manual I> blankets l> canned food .. hand-operated can opener I> water (one gallon per person per day) ~ durable shoes ~ essenftal medicaftons ~ cash and credit cards ~ basic taols (wrench, hammer) .. uftlity gloves Place all items in a sturdy, closed container outside your home where it can be easily located.

There are many ways you can better prepare your house to withstond the effects of 0 notural disoster. Before a Hurricane ~ If your house does not have permanent shulters, plan ta protect your windows and glass doors with the low-cost altemaftve of plywood panels. Long before storm season approaches, cut lh- inch marine plywood ta fit each window and glass door. Pre-drill holes every 18 inches for easy installafton of screws. Stare them where you can easily access them during an emergency. Clearly mark each panel so you con quickly determine which window it covers. ~ The roof of your house is very vulnerable to hurricane winds. Reinforce the connection between the roof and walls with hurricane straps and brocing to resist a hurricane's uplift. ~ Reinforce double-entry front doors, as well as garage doors. ~ Oear away dead or weak tree bronches that may break off and damage your house in high winds. Before a Flood ~ Stock up on building materials such as: plywood, plastic sheeting, hammer, nails, sow, pry bar, shovels, and sandbags. In the case of an emergency, you will be belter off already having these items on hand. ~ Prevent electrical damage by raising the level of electrical components (fuse and circuit breaker boxes, meters, switches, and outlets). This can sove you from the expense of replacing a flood-damaged system, and it will help prevent fires caused by short circuits. Remember that a licensed contractor should do this wark. _."'...__ .... .'_' .._n____._ _ ....... ...............--...-- Teach every family member when and how 10 dial '.1.1 for emergency assistance. () ~ To protect your house from shallow flooding, add waterproof veneer ta the exteriar walls and seal all openings. Before An Earthquake ~ Bmce overhead light fixtures. ~ Repair any defective electrical or gas connections. ~ Secure your water heater by strapping it ta wall studs or bolftng it ta the floor (this can prevent a possible gas leak and provide a convenient source of clean water after an earthquake). ~ Repair cmcks in foundaftons or ceilings. ~ Bolt your house ta its foundafton. Before a Wildfire ~ Install smoke detectors on every level of your house, in every bedroom, and in hallways leading ta bedrooms. ~ Use fire-resistant materials when building or renovaftng. Most importantly, use ftle or flame-retardant shingles on your roof. ~ Keep vegetafton, yord debris, and any other combusftble materials at least 30 feet away from your house. ~ Plant trees away from your house at a distance greater than their mature height. If you do have trees close to your home, trim them to a height of 8 to 1 0 feet and keep them free of dead or dying wood. ~ Use stone walls, swimming pools, or paftos ta create a shield sofety zone between vegetation and your house. ~ Avaid planftng shrubs near your house. Instead, try alternaftves like a fountain or rock garden. ~ Gear rain gutters of dead limbs, needles, and other debris. .. \ , , 'I / \. \ i .i SU PPO,IT '~ / , \ .' BUI,LD,t'NG \ SAF\ETY!

SaJety : / First v Disaster Preparedness Tips for Your Home and Family J. I I I I FLOOD CLEANUP SAFETY AND SALVAGING e During times of melting-snow runoff and torrential rains, rivers and streams overflow their bonks causing water to cover the surrounding land. Added to this already contaminated water ore the remains of damaged and destroyed homes, industries, automobiles, and waste material. Before entering an area ta begin cleanup efforts, check for dawned electrical wires, floaftng propane tanks, and exposed gas mains. Remember ta check the structural safety of damaged buildings before entering. Infedious Organisms and Baderia Many cantaminants and other hazards are not visible. Floodwater often contains infectious organisms such as Salmonella, E. coli, Hepaftfts A virus, and tetanus. Illnesses can be brought about by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Tetanus can alsa be caused by contaminated soil or water entering an open cut or waund. Be alert ta the symptams and seek help immediately. The symptams include: ~ nausea ~ abdominal cramps ~ vamiftng t> muscle aches II> diarrhea . fevers - - - - e e e ~ Be sure your tetanus shot is current - within the last 10 years. ~ Keep a supply of bottled water available for drinking. t> Con~[der 0]1 water unsafe untiLtold_by authorities that the water supply is safe. ~ Maintain a supply of safe water for washing. ~ Be alert far chemically contaminated floodwater a' industrial sites. ~ If the safety of any food or beverage is in doubt, throw it out. Smart Cleanup Precautions A few basic steps and procauftons will help to ensure your safety in the aftermath of flooding: ~ Seek immediate medical care in the even' of animal bites. ~ Keep children and pets away from possibly contaminated areas. /~ )FLOOD CLEANUP , SAFETY AND SALVAGING TIps for Residential Cleanup ~ Once the major outdoor areas have been made safe, it is ftme ta look to the possible structural damage of residences and the cleanup of furniture, applionces, and household contents. After a building inspectar determines that the structure is safe, inside cleanup efforts may begin. Before entering and beginning cleanup, make sure that the electricity and gas have been turned off from the outside. Open all doors and windows ta remove any gases from the home and alleviate offensive odors. ~ Caoking utensils should be inspected; those made of porous material (such as wood, plastic or rubber) should be discorded along with dishes exhibiftng deep crocks. Wash the remaining items in hot water with detergent, using a brush ta remove dirt if necessary. If any items can be dismon~ed, take them apart and clean in pieces. Rinse in hot water and then immerse in a chlorine solufton, 1wo tablespoons of household bleach to a gallon of water, to soniftze. Allow items ta air-dry. ~ Clothing and household textiles should be rinsed and soaked in clear water ta remove the majority of any residue, and then washed in a heavy-duty detergent in hot water and bleach. Use an all-fobric bleach for colored items and liquid chlorine bleach for white and color- fost fobrics. A high-temperoture clothes dryer will alsa help the sanitizing process. ~ Flood-soaked moltresses are usually not worth saving. However, if a new, good-quality mattress is damaged, a mattress-renovaftng campany may be contacted for a price on recondiftoning. ~ Rugs and carpeftng should be assessed for damage and a determinafton made as to whether the items should be saniftzed and repaired, or simp~ discarded. ~ All electrical wiring, appliances, and motars damaged by floodwater should be checked by an electrician before any attempt is made to start them. Further damage will result if motars damaged by moisture and dirt are started without proper servicing. Clean and dry all switches, convenience ou~ets, light ou~ets, and junction boxes that have been under water. ~ Once these items have been cleaned and dried, have a certified electrician check the entire system. ~ Walls should be washed from the bottom up, rinsed and then spmyed or painted with a quaternary disinfectant available from janitar or dairy supply ou~ets. This serves to make the walls mildew resistant. ~ Once the basic items have been treated, personal items such as books and photos may be assessed. These items should be picked out of the water, drained, frozen, removed from the freezer at a later date, and then air dried. SUPPORT BUILDING SAFETY!

You are asked to complete, sign and return an EducationlWork Experience Form. WHAT THIS MEANS One of the requirements to obtain certification as a Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector i~ to have certa.in _ _ education and/or work experience; To verify this experience, the EducationlWork .Experience Form must be completed and signed by Respondents. You have been selected as a respondent because you are in a position to verify the part of the applicant's work history with which you are familiar. COMPLETING THE EDUCATIONIWORK EXPERIENCE FORM This form is used to indicate the applicant's previous work experience. Sections A and B should already be completed by the applicant. You are being asked to complete Section C and sign the form. Note that in Section B, Item 6, the percentage that is entered should reflect actual circumstances as closely as possible. This number is based on the idea that 100 percent is equal to 40 hours per week working solely on concrete inspection-related work. Lower percentages would apply if the average work week (over the time period in Section B, Item 5) was less than 40 hours; or, the applicant had divided job responsibilities between concrete inspection and nonconcrete inspection-related work. Time-off during the period will lower the percentage. Overtime will increase the percentage. It is possible for the percentage to be higher than 100 percent. Example: An applicant who had a mathematically averaged work week of 50 hours and who worked totally on concrete inspection would be given a rating of 125 percent. If the same applicant worked one half of their time on concrete inspection, the rating would be 63 percent (one half of 125 percent). If you feel the percentage given is not accurate in your judgment, or if any other information is deficient, please cross it out and write in your correction. Applicants are in no way penalized for having forms with information that has been modified by the respondent, unless intentional deception is involved. Please Return the Form(s) Promptly to the Applicant in a Sealed Envelope. 31 ( ., . \ EDUCATION/WORK E:^",ERIENCE fORM Reinforced Concrete ~peciallnspector INSTRUCTIONS The applicant must complete both Sections A and B of this form and then forward the form to the respondents (past andlor former employers), who use Section C to verify the statements made in Section B.

Percentage of total time of employment in the time period listed in #5 above that was spent in concrete inspection- related work: month and year Percentage _% Note: 100% means you worked strictly as a full-time employee (40 hours) with concrete inspection-related work as your only responsibility. Less than 100% means your weekly time spent in concrete inspection-related work, averaged over your period of employment, was less than 40 hours. This condition would exist if you had divided responsibility between concrete inspection and nonconcrete inspection-related work; or, you worked solely on concrete inspection work, but less than full time OR not steadily during the time period. 7.

General Policy No information from records, files, or other ICC data directly related to a student, other than public information defined below, ~hall be disclosed to individuals or agencies outside the ICC without the written consent of the student, except those disclosures set forth in the section on Public Information. Definition of Educational Record Student educational records are defined as those records, files, documents, and other material which contain information directly related to students and which are maintained by ICC or a party acting for ICC. Records of instructional, supervisory, and administrative personnel which are in the sole possession of the maker and accessible only to the maker or a substitute are specifically excluded from this definition of educational record. Definition of Student For the purpose of this policy, a student is defined as any individual currently or previously enrolled in any academic offering of ICC. Public Information The following is a list of information which may be made available by ICC without prior consent of the student and which is considered part of the public record of the student's attendance: Name, address (local and permanent), telephone number, job title, continuing education units obtained, participation, certifications, and awards received. The information will not be made available if a student directs a written instruction to the appropriate records official. Types and Location of Records ICC maintains a file on each student containing applications, grade reports and\or other performance evaluations, and correspondence. ICC has designated the following officials as responsible for student records for the National Certification Program: Manager of National Certification Services, ICC Southern Regional Office, 900 Montclair Road, Birmingham, Alabama 35213. The above shall hereinafter be referred to as "records official". The record officials is responsible for maintaining a listing of student records within such records officials area of responsibility, indicating the location and general content of the records. Any student request concerning records or files, including request that public information not be disclosed, request for disclosure to third parties, and requests for access by the student should be directed to these officials. These persons will also act as hearing officers when the content of a record is challenged as provided below. Disclosure of Student Records to the Student The student is accorded the right to inspect, in the presence of an ICC staff member, records, files, and data primarily and directly related to the student. To inspect a file a student should initiate a request in writing, A time for inspection shall be granted within 45 days of the data of the request. Examinations taken by the student are not files directly related to the student. 36 (, . I '\ \ Pretest Items On every examination there may be some new questions that are not scored. These are pretest items. They are used only to evaluate how the questions perform and will neither add to nor detract from your score. Cancellation of Scores On rare occasions, circumstances may render examination scores invalid. ICC reserves the right to cancel or withhold any examination scores if, in its sole opinion, there is adequate reason to question their validity. Reasons are: '-'r" 1. Doubts may be raised about the validity of examinees' scores because of suspected misconduct, such as but not limited to, giving or receiving help; using unauthorized notes, books or papers; removing examination materials or notes from the examination room; attempting to take an examination for someone else; or inappropriately taking more than two CBT examinations within a single six-month period. In such circumstances, examinees will be expected to cooperate in an investigation of their scores. Such examinees will be notified of procedures developed by ICC to ensure fairness. 2. Some scores may be rendered invalid because of circumstances beyond the examinee's control, such as faulty examination materials or mistiming. These situations will be investigated; when such occurrences result in cancellation of an examinee's scores, ICC will arrange for a makeup examination for the examinees concerned. 3. Some scores may be influenced by negative conditions at the examination site such as bad lighting, excessive noise, uncomfortable temperature conditions. ICC has implemented procedures to minimize the potential of these occurrences but in unlikely cases where such conditions occur it does not modify or change the required passing score. If a candidate finds unfavorable conditions at the examination site we recommend the candidate immediately notify the proctor. If the condition can not be corrected ICC will reschedule the examination at no added cost to the candidate.

For those preparing well in advance for their examinations the examinations based on the International Codes are scheduled to be changed to the 2003 Codes beginning January 1, 2004. 5 . _ __ _" J e ICC's Certification Maintenance Program e Renewal for the National Certifications requires participation in the ICC Certification Maintenance program. Using this program for certification renewal requires participation in professional development activities over the three year term of certifica~ion. Continuing Educations Units (CEU's) are awarded for many different activities such as attending seminars, completing self-study courses and employment as an inspector. A complete list of the many options is available from ICC and will be provided upon successful completion of the jointly-sponsored exam. A candidate must obtain a certain number of CEU's in the three year period to be eligible for certification renewal.Policy for Taking and Retaking Examinations During any six (6) month period, (for anyone certification category) you may take the exam using the CBT method a total of two (2) times, if necessary, to pass the exam. Taking th~ examination in one category has no effect on testing, for the six-month period for another category. For example, If you take the Residential Building Inspector examination and fail it, you would be allowed to take a Commercial Building Inspector or, for example, one of the plumbing Inspector examinations without regard to the six-month period for your Residential Building Inspector examination. Examination Scoring The score for each examination is reported as a .scaled scoreD, with 75 being minimum passing score. This means that everyone's score has been standardized on a scale on which 75 is the minimum passing score. Unsuccessful candidates receive diagnostic information on their performance in major test content areas toward improving future test score. The actual required passing score may be either above or below 75%. It is important to answer all questions for this reason. The number of correct answers necessary to achieve a scaled score of 75 constitutes minimum acceptable competency. It is derived from systematic analysis by a committee of individuals selected because of their expertise on the subject being used for the content. To ensure that the difficulty of this exam is equal to any other exam form for this category, the number of questions that you will be required to answer correctly to achieve the scaled score of 75 may be more than or less than a simple 75 percent of the questions on the exam. The scaled score is established by a committee made up of practicing experts in each examination category. Your score therefore, is based on the number of questions answered correctly relative to the difficulty level of the exam as compared to other exam forms. Candidates who pass will be notified with the word .PASS.. Those who fail will be given a numeric score and diagnostic information. Failing candidates will be provided with diagnostic information on their performance on major content areas of the exam. The diagnostic report cannot be used to calculate scores; it is a general indication only. Common Questions and Answers Does ICC reQuire a candidate to have a certain level of experience or education before takina an examination? No, except for Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector. Most ICC examinations are open to all individuals with no prerequisite for experience or education. ICC certification should be used as one of several measures of an individual's qualific.ations when screening applicants for a position. Inspectors should possess the right mix of technical knowledge, education and related experience. Because proper weighting of the relative importance of these three qualifications is a subjective decision, determining the emphasis of ICC certification is most appropriately performed at the local level by the building official. For this reason, ICC does not specify education or experience requirements for certification applicants for most categories. What is the best way to prepare for the examination? The best way to prepare for the examination is through job experience and study of the codes and standards. ICC seminars, self-study workbooks, code commentaries and textbooks may be helpful including online practice examinations for several categories. Details of these online courses is available from ICC at www.icccamlJus.ora. However, nothing can substitute for studying the code; and the on the job experience of use and application of the code. You must devote the time needed to understand the code and master the ability to apply it. 4 . Challenging the Contents of the .rd e ICC will respond to any reasonable request for and explanation or interpretation of any item in a student's file. Requests for such explanations or interpretations should be addressed in writing to the appropriate records official. If, after inspecting a record, a student believes that information contained in the educational record is inaccurate or misleading or violates his or her privacy, the student may request that the record be amended by presenting such a request in writing to the appropriate records official. A request that the record be amended shall be answered by the records official within 15 days of its receipt with information that the record has been amended as requested or that the record has not been amended and that the student has a right to a hearing with the ICC Board for International Professional Standards on the matter, A written request for a hearing should be addressed to the records official, who will set a date and time for hearing with reasonable notice of same to the student. The request for hearing should identify the item or items in the file to be challenged and state the grounds for the challenge, e.g., inaccuracy, misleading nature, inappropriateness. The records official shall examine the contested item, shall hear the person responsible for placing the item in the file it appropriate, and shall examine any documents or hear any testimony.the student wishes to present. A student maybe assisted or represented by individuals of his or her choice, including an attorney, at his or her own expense. The records official may decide that the item should be retained or that it should be deleted or altered. The records official shall issue a written decision, based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing, within 10 days of the conclusion of the hearing, If the decision is adverse to the student, the notice of decision shall include a statement that the student has the right to place a statement in the record commenting on the information and\or setting forth reasons for disagreeing with the decision. Providing Records to Third Parties The general policy of ICC is to refuse access to or disclosure of information from student records, except for public information, to third parties without the written consent of the student. Should a student wish to have such records released, a signed, notarized, and dated written request must be directed to the proper records official, specifying the records to be released, the reason for release, the party or class of parties to whom records are to be released, and a request for copies to the student, if desired, ICC will then grant access to the information. Student records are available to the following persons with the accompanying conditions without written consent of the student: 1. 2. Instructional or administrative personnel whose duties include responsibilities to students which in the institution reasonably require access to student records. Certain representatives of federal departments or agencies or state educational authorities as provided by the law that administer and lor regulate the State License Law and need access for this purpose only In response to lawful subpoena or court order. 3. ICC will keep a record, indicating the name and legitimate interest of all disclosures except those made to a student, those made pursuant to written consent, those designated as public information, and those made to persons at Ice with a legitimate educational interest. This record of disclosure will become a part of the educational record, subject to inspection and review. Any student who believes that ICC has violated his or her right to access or privacy of educational records as established by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the accompanying regulations published at 45 Federal Register 30911, as amended at 45 Federal Register 86296, and this policy may address a complaint to: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue SW Washington, DC 20202 For specific information about the ICC Student Records Policy, contact ICC Southern Regional Office, 900 Montclair Road, Birmingham, Alabama 35213. 37 C-~I?allrtt X~.. lExalmDlnlal~ioll1l fee~ ( ) level Category Computer - Based Paper/ Pencil Examination Fee Examination Fee Residential Inspection Categories B1 Residential Building Inspector* $140.00 $75.00 E1 Residential Electricallnspector* $140.00 $75.00 M1 Residential Mechanicallnspector* $140.00 $75.00 P1 Residential Plumbing Inspector* $140.00 $75.00 For any two of these 2 hour exams taken together $185.00 $150.00 Commercial Inspection Categories B2 Commercial Building Inspector $160.00 $125.00 E2 Commercial Electrical Inspector $160.00 $125.00 M2 Commercial Mechanicallnspector** $160.00 $125.00 P2 Commercial Plumbing Inspector** $160.00 $125.00 *If taken with the corresponding 2 hour $195.00 $150.00 Residential exam in a 4 hour Deriod Plans Examiner Categories B3 Building Plans Examiner $160.00 $125.00 E3 Electrical Plans Examiner $160.00 $125.00 M3 Mechanical Plans Examiner $160.00 $125.00 P3 Plumbing Plans Examiner $160.00 $125.00 Fire Inspector Categories 66 Fire Inspector I $160.00 $125.00 67 Fire Inspector II $160.00 $125.00 Energy Inspector Categories 77 Commercial Energy Inspector $160.00 $125.00 78 Commercial Energy Plans Examiner $160.00 $125.00 79 Residential Enerav Plans ExaminerllnsDector $160.00 $125.00 Code Enforcement Categories 21 Accessibility Inspector/Plans Examiner $160.00 $125.00 14 Permit Technician $160.00 $125.00 75 Zoning Inspector $160.00 $125.00 64 ProDertv Maintenance and Housina Inspector $160.00 $125.00 SDeciallnspection Cate<<lories 47 Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector $195.00 $165.00 92 Prestressed Concrete Special Inspector $195.00 $165.00 84 Structural Masonrv SDeciallnsDector $195.00 $165.00 Certified Building Official Categories 01 Certified Building Official Legal and Management $100.00 $70.00 Examination 02 Certified Building Official Technology $100.00 $70.00 Examination .....

The International Code Council@ Voluntary Certification Program Origin of the ICC and its Voluntary Certification Program The International Code Councilll!l (ICCGP) was established in 1994 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing a single set of comprehensive and coordinated national model construction codes, and to providing support services to code administrators and construction professionals worldwide. The founders of the ICC are Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), and Southern Building Code Congress (SBCCI). Since the early 1970s, these nonprofit organizations have provided professional certification for code administration personnel. This prestigious credential is sponsored by the nation's oldest and largest certification program for code administration personnel, with over 75,000 individuals holding current ICC certification throughout the U.S. and the world. Successful completion of specified examination( s) is required for ICC Certification. Some ICC certifications have additional requirements, as noted in this Bulletin. ICC Certification is valid for up to three years, at which time the certificate may be updated (renewed) through participation in specifiC professional development activities. Details on certification renewal requirements are provided with the test results, and are posted on the ICC website (www.iccsafe.org) Becoming ICC Certified is a significant professional accomplishment. The ICC credential is fully recognized by most code officials and state agencies who regulate inspection personnel. ICC Professional Certificates are available in most code administration and construction inspection professions, whether employed in the public or private sectors. The ICC Voluntary Certification Program provides unprecedented benefits to all its candidates, including a national registry, standardized competency examinations, and the professional recognition of being certified by the organization that is setting the standard for building safety - International Code Council.

These changes will occur program by program over the next six months. The changes are: ELECTRONIC EXAMS Examinations will be administered on a PC, not the EXPro system. Candidates are NOT required to have any computer knowledge to take the examination on the PC, nor will the examination itself be any more or less difficult than an examination taken on EXPro. EXAM FEES Examination fees must be paid by credit card, debit card (issued through VISA or Mastercard) or electronic check at the time a reservation is made, not at the assessment center. Candidates who choose to pay the fee by electronic check must have a personal checking account, and must be prepared to provide to Promissor at the time of reservation the following information: o Bank name o Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) number (as illustrated below) . Name and address on the account o Social Security number or driver's license number o NeXt available check number o An active email address I i'= '~~l ~i..~_:_:_"'~_~'. --- JS' -. ,- - ---:-~.-..;; I I.:oooooo~ ~'i -:.:.:.:1 IlIICR (I Using this information, Promissor can obtain payment from the candidate's bank account just as if the candidate had submitted an actual paper check. Promissor has security measures in place to protect all candidates who pay examination fees by credit card, debit card or electronic check. Candidates who do not have or do not wish to use a credit card, debit card, or personal checking account may choose to pre-pay their examination fees. These candidates should first call Customer Care to obtain a candidate ID number, and then send to Promissor a Pre-payment. Request Form (found on the reverse of this page), along with a company check or money order (made payable to "promissor") for the amount of the examination fee. Promissor will process mailed requests within ten (10) business days, and will notify candidates by mail when processing is complete. 'Candidates may then make a reseJ:Vation. REFUNDSITRANSFERS Under normal circumstances, examination fees are refundable only if a reservation is canceled within the time frame specified in the program handbook. Candidates who cancel their examinations within this time frame may choose to forgo a refund and apply the fee to a future examination. Candidates who require a refund should make a request to Promissor by telephone (using the Customer Care telephone number found in the program handbook). Refunds for fees paid by credit cards and debit cards are immediate, while paper refunds for electronic checks and pre-paid fees will be processed within 2-3 weeks. FAX RESERVATIONS The Fax Reservation Form has been updated to allow for the new payment options. When the new payment options become active, candidates should use the form on the reverse of this page instead of the form that appears in the program handbook. FOR MORE INFORMATION Candidates may contact Promissor Customer Care at the number listed in the program handbook with any questions about electronic examinations or the payment of examination fees.

Thank you for the opportunity to attend the code change workshop your department hosted June 26th. We were under the impression that this was to be a discussion about the merits of the C3 codes versus the ICC Codes. Our Association is in favor of the C3 codes because they are the most complete codes that describe and tell contractors in detail what materials to use and how to install them. . We stated at the meeting that as long as we can remember, craftsmen in this area have been trained with The Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes and the National Electric Code, which are all an integral part of the C3 set of codes. A real benefit of the .Uniform Plumbing Code is its completeness. As you are aware the plumbing license law charges the plumber in this state not only with plumbing but also gas piping, medical gas and vacuum systems and all three of these topics, are in the body of the Uniform Plumbing Code. Plumbers are not required to purchase an additional two codebooks as is required in the international code. ' In our trade area there are probably around 100,000 mechanics or craftsman in the building trades. ~ost of us are open shop and we train our people specifically using the C3 Codes. The C3 Codes were developed using the ANSI consensus process, making them the only true consensus codes in the country. What this means is that actual craft and licensed members of the various committees have a VOTE in the C3 Codes. In the ICC code process the codebooks are written based on an opinion where only the Building Officials on the main committee have a vQte craft and licensed memb~rs have no vote. This may give the building officials a sense of ownership, but our contractors are the people selling and installing the work. It would be good for the consumer if we were all working out of the same set of books. It is our understanding that any city that adopts the C3 codes receives free training for their building inspection staff and necessary.codebooks for the inspectors at no charge. The C3 codes are also available Qn the Internet so any interested party can review them at no charge, and we are able to print sections- we are working on, again at no charge. This is a tremendous help and benefit to contractors, consumers and building departments. We would hope _that the advantages of the C3 codes might give you reason to look into a recommendation to the LaPorte City Council for the adoption of the 2003 C3 code set. Debbie S. Wilmore Chief Building Official City of LaPorte 604 West Fairmont Parkway LaPorte, Texas 77575 Dear Ms. Wilmore: I Thank you, Stanley Briers P AMCA Chairman of the Board Cc: City of LaPorte Mayor and City Council 10245 Kempwood Drive East #107 - Houston, Texas 77043 B: 713-461-6996 Fax: 713-461-7075 Message ~ ~ ./0-03 Page 1 of 1 . Harris, Sharon From: TWood [TWood@ghba.org] Sent: Wednesday, July 09,20038:08 To: district6@ci.la-porte.tx.us Subject: International Codes The Honorable Bruce Meismer_ City of La Porte, Texas Dear Council Member Meismer: The Greater Houston Builders Association strongly encourages you to adopt the International Codes on July 14. GHBA represents almost 1500 member companies involved in the homebuilding industry. With 33,000 home starts in the Houston metro area last year, including La Porte, the industry generated almost five billion dollars in local income. over 400 million in local taxes and fees. and created 82,000 jobs. During the 77th Leg!slative Session, the Texas Legislature agreed that Texas should have a consistent residential building code and passed SB 365 requiring all municipalities to use the International Residential Code. Recently, the legislature passed HB 730, which extends that requirement to the unincorporated areas of the state. Our national, local, and state organizations have worked hard to ensure adoption of the best code and family of codes available. The International Codes are being adopted all over the country and are endorsed by most major industry groups. We urge La Porte to be on the cutting edge and adopt the entire family of International Codes. They are coordinated and state of the art. Sincerely, Toy Wood Vice President and Director of Government Affairs 281.970.8970 x140 7/10/2003 J ( ; , . e e Page 1 of4 From: Steve Wilson [Steve.Wilson@SKAUGEN.COM] Sent: Saturday, July 12, 200311:59 AM To: 'citysecretary@ci.la-porte.tx.us' Subject: Citizen outrage at the the proposed Bayport Container Terminal (j;'. Turner, Susan July 12, 2003 To: La Porte City Secretary Fm: Steve Wilson, La Porte citizen Dear City Secretary, I am writing to advise you of the very strong emotions amongst myself and many of my neighbors in La Porte against the Bayport Container Terminal. It is your duty to oppose this wasteful and dangerous facility because it will negatively affect our city and its citizens. For the reasons mentioned below, the actions (or inaction) of yourself and your colleagues will decide how I vote at the next election. The bottom line is there are 50,000 people within 3 miles of the site, better alternatives exist and there is no economic need. 1) SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT STATEMENT MUST BE ISSUED There is information contained in the latest statement that is being made public for the first time. Information regarding noise pollution violations and alternative sites was withheld from previous reports. Because there was not enough time for public comment, an injunction must be issued so that these issues can be analyzed in depth. 2) POLLUTION- A main pollutant will be diesel exhaust, which is a known carcinogen. There are 50,000 people within 3 miles of the proposed site. This is a human tragedy. The statement also notes the Port of Houston will be in violation for air pollution. The port proposes to water the facility to stay within regulations. But this would require more than 27,000,000 gallons of water every day. The port proposes wasting the more water in a day than what is consumed by nearly 80,000 families! 3) ENVIRONMENTAL ALTERNATNES The Port of Houston initially suggested that the Bayport site was the only economically feasible location. However, the latest reports indicate the cost of an alternate site on Spillman's Island is 76% less than originally estimated. Since the cost is not as high as the Port Authority estimated, the Corp of Engineers is obligated to consider this location. The Port of Houston insists that other locations are not suitable since the container yard and cruise terminal must be together. This is not true. There are zero overlapping infrastructures between tourists and industry in port facilities. If the two terminals are separated, the land needed for the container terminal is less and more alternate sites are feasible and must be considered. 7/14/2003 i e e Page 2 of4 The Corp of Engineers has already issued a permit for a nearly identical facility at Shoal Point in Texas City, which is less than 25 miles away. Amazingly, this critical fact is ignored in the final statement. The Corp. has an obligation to fmd the site with the least environmental impact to the region. Since the Texas City site has already been determined to have the least impact, the Bayport facility is more damaging to the environment than other alternatives. 7/14/2003 . t e e Page 3 of4 4) INCONSISTENT APPLICATION OF LAW The methodology used to develop the impact statement for Bayport was inconsistent with a previously permitted facility in Texas City. This inconsistency must be investigated. 5) DECEPTION BY THE PORT OF HOUSTON - They said the cost for Spillman's Island development was $600,000/acre. Now they say it is $140,000. THIS WAS A LIE. - They said that Bayport was the region's only alternative, despite the issuance of a permit for a nearly identical facility less than 25 miles away. THIS WAS A LIE. - They said Barbour's Cut would not lower home prices in Morgan's Point. TIDS WAS A LIE. The Port of Houston has a history of deception and their claims must be suspect 6) GOVERNMENT WASTE The Port of Houston Authority does not have any motivation to wisely spend taxpayer's money. The already permitted facility in Texas City is being built by private entities, which will reduce the demand of shipping companies at Barbour's Cut by taking the Port Authorities customer's. Despite this reality, the port is proceeding with a project the "smart money" has already abandoned. The Port of Houston Authority is working to undermine private investment by pursuing an uneconomic facility. This is an example of government wasting citizen's tax dollars. 7) A NEW TERMINAL IS NOT NEEDED My education and profession are maritime transportation, and all of my colleagues confirm a new facility is not needed if the Port of Houston operated a modem facility at Barbour's Cut. Some have estimated that the existing facility at Barbour's Cut is only at 40% capacity. And they say they need another terminal? The Port's own statistics show there were only 640 ship calls last year. This is less than 2 per day, but the Port wants to build a terminal with seven berths, which will handle less business after many customers will move to Texas City. This is a waste of resources. 8) NATIONAL SECURITY Container terminals are an easy way for terrorists to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the U.S. Does it make sense to have a potential threat within an hour's walk of 50,000 people? 9) TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK The Port's own documents note that there will not be rail service at the terminal for many years, so containers will have to be trucked to a railway. This will introduce thousands of industrial vehicles that will be a danger to the surrounding communities. Additional traffic deaths are certain. Although the facility will cost 1.2 billion, not a single penny is included for new roads, which the Port admits will be needed. For the reasons stated above, it is your responsibility on behalf of your citizens to oppose this wasteful and dangerous facility. Defeating the Bayport Container Yard is in the best interest of the city and of its citizens. Sincerely 7/14/2003 1\ ., . i .
