A recent article by Lisa Bernard-Kuhn on wcpo.com titled ‘Could toxic chemicals along the Ohio River be a danger to our drinking water?’ with the following information: “At a dormant Duke Energy power plant, at least 10 billion lbs. of coal ash containing toxins plus more are sitting on the banks of the OH River – a resource of drinking water for more than 5M people. How the polluted ponds got there began well before environmental laws were created to keep people & drinking water safe from potentially hazardous waste. How much longer these might stay — and put the drinking water at risk — is a drama just beginning.

Clermont County Commissioner David Uible says that thinking about what happened in Flint, MI is just how important water is to public health and safety; to think that we have a water supply adjacent to ash pits is unbelievable. The worst-case scenario is that you get a flood on the Ohio River that breaches the dams and all the ash is washed into the river. As early as next year, Duke has said it will begin deconstructing the old plant. The utility giant closed the plant in 2014 just as the U.S. EPA was instituting new standards for how coal ash ponds are managed.

Federal rules in 2015 set new standards for coal ash pond guidelines. OH is one of the largest coal ash generators in the US, and has some of the worst state regulations. The company has been conducting scientific & engineering studies at the site to figure out the best method to safely close these basins. They point to incidents in Pennsylvania, Tennessee and North Carolina where lack of maintenance and attention at aging power plants leading to large spills of coal ash into local rivers and streams from ponds like in Beckjord.” The article is available in its entirety at this link.

Courtney Friedman compiled an article in the July 15, 2016 edition of ksat.com titled ‘Recycling center with list of citations feels pressure from city, residents’ with the following reports: “A recycling center with a lengthy list of violations is angering nearby residents. The city is cracking down on this company, giving them a last chance to stay open. Antonia Aldaco has lived on Seguin Street for sixty years. She says the dust from the place gets into her house. About six months ago, Ascent Recycling moved into the industrial site next to her and it has been overly dusty. She is also upset about the trash flying all the way to I-35. The other violations are rodents, rats. In the middle of the night, they have rats coming across the street says Rose Hill, Government Hill Neighborhood Association president.

This recycling plant moved from a location on S. Cross Blvd. They had some violations to the extent that we had to shut them down. They were improperly zoned properly and not following city rules. Ascent moved to Seguin St. to an industrial zoned property where they could legally process cardboard. Inspection documents pulled through an open records request show Ascent Recycling started illegally recycling metal in January and February, despite saying they wouldn’t. These metal violations handled through the court process. They had 15 citations just for that violation, totaling $3,000 in fine. They stopped metal recycling in April. Now, other citations include: trash, debris, overgrown weeds, vegetation, dust and parking lot-related problems..

One way to limit dust is by paving the areas that are heavily trafficked. The city will take Ascent Recycling to court in August over the latest violations. If the owners do not comply, they’ll be shut down. The neighborhood association says it supports all businesses, but this business seems unwilling to work with the residents and is making their quality of these elderly people’s lives miserable. KSAT has now made several attempts to contact the owner of the company but hasn’t received a response yet.” The full article is available here.

In the July 11, 2016 edition of KomoNews an article composed by Mark Miller titled ‘Puyallup police crackdown on abandoned junk cars left in the street’ informed us the following: “A beat-up old Z28 Camaro parked on a residential street could be an eye-popping classic muscle car. But it was tagged by a Puyallup Police parking enforcement officer because it’s considered an abandoned vehicle. Police have launched a crackdown after citizen complaints about beaten up cars and trucks recently.

Deputy Chief Dave McDonald says it is a quality of life issue; people don’t want to have to view abandoned cars on the streets. He says the department is asking the citizens to report suspected junk vehicles. While many people call because they object to the ugliness and because abandoned vehicles can bring down their neighborhood, reporting such cars and trucks helps police solve crimes. A lot of cars that have been stolen are recovered this way. People often call in, so we would run the plate and find it was stolen. Under city law, a car cannot remain parked on a public street for more than seventy-two hours in a row. When a parking vehicle officer tags a vehicle, they write time on the window and place a sticker on the windshield, which is a warning that the vehicle can be towed at the owner’s expense if not moved in 72 hours. If no contact is made or we get no response, then these cars are towed away. The full story is available here.

In another similar effort to clear the streets of unwanted vehicles, on the timesheraldonline.com a story with the headline of ‘Vallejo police start ridding streets of abandoned vehicles’ informed us as follows: “An abandoned vehicle enforcement operation conducted recently impounded 71 cars for various violations, Vallejo PD officials said. The Traffic Division and the Community Services, along with other staff, checked 271 cars that had been reported to police as being possibly abandoned. Of those, 185 were found to be currently registered & legally parked.

The Vallejo PD encourages anyone who has a vehicle that is not registered, missing key components needed to operate or otherwise abandoned on a city street, to have it moved in compliance with local law. You can report abandoned vehicles in multiple ways: by phone — (707) 648-4682, on the internet — www.ci.vallejo.ca.us, click on City Hall, Police, Online Services,” officials said.” The article can be viewed in its entirety here.

Jerold Chinn posted an article titled ‘Residents reminded of risks of disposing used motor oil’ on sfbay.ca on July 8, 2016 with the following story: “San Francisco officials are retelling residents that discarding used motor oil isn’t safe for the local water system or our environment. It is illegal to dump used oil on the city streets or in the drains. At a press conference Katy Tang, a Supervisor with the Department of the Environment, said that people should recycle used motor oil at businesses such as Pennzoil 10-Min Oil Change. Those who bring in their used motor oil can receive forty cents for each gallon they bring in. These collection sites can accept up (5) gallons per visit. Residents only need to give provide their name when dropping off the oil.

Tang said in a statement that she recalls helping her dad change the oil to their vehicle when she was younger. The department is aggressively promoting a campaign targeting various communities to recycle used oil by placing signs in different languages including Chinese language billboards, municipal bus ads & web ads. Director of the Department of Environment Debbie Raphael, says that it is important to keep the SF Bay area clean of motor oil and to advise residents on how dispose the oil. The neighborhood based collection centers like Pennzoil make it simple and easy for residents to bring in their oil and leave feeling like they’ve done their part to protect the local environment. The city has twenty-three participating auto-related businesses that will take used motor oil, the department said in including (4) in the Sunset District. The department reports that these collection sites collected 27K gallons of oil. About 30% of the oil collected came from specifically the Sunset District. Anyone who attended the press conference was given a complimentary oil pan.”

In reviewing this article, a few thoughts come to mind. Virtually all adults (that have a brain) know that used oil should not be dumped on to the ground or in our drains. Some people may think it is OK to dispose of the used oil in with their trash—which is not true. The true issue is that those choosing to improperly dispose of hazardous oil are likely just lazy or the simply do not care. Those who are found violating these basic environmental laws need to be harshly made aware that we DO care about the issue. For someone who intentionally dumps used motor oil on to the ground or into drains, the punishment for a 1^st offense should be something like a combination of an $800 fine and 24 hours of community service.

On July 5, 2016 an article titled ‘US Auto Fuel Economy Rating Slips in June’ composed by Paul Ausick explained the following: “The average fuel-economy rating for newer cars sold in the US for June 2016 was 25.3 MPG, down 0.1 mpg compared with the month of May . For all  2015, the overall average fuel-economy rating for new vehicles sold was 25.3 mpg.

While the window paper average is 5.2 mpg higher than when the information were first gathered, the average is still 0.5 mpg below its all-time high of 25.8 mpg set in August 2014. When gas prices started falling in the US, consumers purchased more light trucks, SUVs and crossovers, which get lower mpg ratings and contribute to the low average. The information are based on the average sales-weighted fuel-efficiency rating printed on a newer car’s window sticker and is compiled by Michael Sivak & Brandon Schoettle of the University of Michigan’s Transportation  Institute.

The sales-weighted unadjusted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) efficiency rating averaged 31.7 MPG in May, up 0.4 mpg month over month and an improvement of 7.0 mpg since October 2007. These numeric values aren’t clearly comparable to the  ratings because these are adjusted by the EPA & used to gauge the window-sticker ratings. Overall vehicle sales in the month of June rose 2.5% 1.51M units. For the year to date, sales are up 1.5% versus  2015. On a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) scale, the sum fell from 17.46M units in May to 16.68M units in June. In June 2015 the SAAR came in at 17.01 million units.” The full article is available at this link:  http://247wallst.com/autos/2016/07/05/us-auto-fuel-economy-rating-slips-in-june/

In the July 1, 2016 edition of Recycling Today and article titled ‘Houston to require licenses to handle scrap tires’ told us the following: “The City of Houston, TX has begun enforcing its Scrap Tire Ordinance following a 6-month preliminary grace period. Under the newly added ordinance, approved by City Council late last year, all junk tire operations in the city limits are now required to properly register with the city. Additionally, it establishes rules, regulations & procedures for the transportation, storing, recordkeeping and environmental disposal of scrap tires. It is estimated that over 19K tires have been removed in this manner since February as the city works to stop illegal dumping at sites in the city that can serve as healthy breeding grounds for the mosquito-born virus known as Zika. Mayor Sylvester Turner says that this is a huge problem in the neighborhoods, and we have to counter it from all angles.

All the businesses that are presently involved in the used/scrap tire market will be required to register and/or obtain a license annually with the city. Tire transportation companies must display a city-issued sticker on their trucks. Tire generators must allow inspections of their records each year. Beginning in July, inspectors will be visiting businesses to check for tire compliance. The cost to register is about $93 for a business that generates scrap tires and $172 for entities that handle the transport of them. Owners who refuse to register will receive tickets. Fines are $250/day, per offense. The illegal dumping of scrap tires is a serious health & safety concern in the City of Houston, because these tires provide breeding places for mosquitoes and other insects that can carry diseases, and have potentially adverse effects on the health of citizens.” The full article is available here: http://www.recyclingtoday.com/article/houston-tire-ordinance/
