"As requested by Councilman Robert Gray, our staff has been working with the Southeaster Virginia Planning District Commission to develop a briefing paper concerning the potential environmental impact of the proposed Hazardous Waste Storage Facility at St. Julien's Creek Annex (copy of SVPDC's report is attached)[ One of t~8"~ajor concerns of my staff is that Portsmanth treats sewage from St. Julien's Creek and we need postive assurance that hazardous wastes will not be discharged into the sewage system by the Navy. The staff, and I concur, that the establishment of such a poten- tially hazardous facility in the heart of a m~jor metropolitan area is not in the best inter- ests of the citizens of Portsmouth~ The SVPDC at its Wednesday, July 19, 1984, meeting requested that a full Environmental ImpaCt S~atement be prepared on this project. Not only would an EIS more fully evaluate the impacts created by the facility, but it would also outline in more detail the mitigation procedures to be followed. I fully Support SVPDC's position and would recommend that Council approve the attached resolution prepared by the City Attorney requesting that the Defense Logistics Agency and the U. S. Navy p~epare a full EIS on the proposed facility. AS indicated in the resolution, copies will be forwarded to our Congressional Delegation as well as Bppropriate officials of the Department of Defense." On motion of Mr. Gray and seconded by Mrs. Lucas, the following resolution was adopted, and by the follow'iflg vote: "A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY AND THE UNITED STATES ~AVY'PREPARE A FULL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED ST. JULIEN'S CREEK ANNEX HAZARDOUS WASTE STORAGE FACILITY.
