Mr. Swift clarified the work hours requested by INS for the operational phase to be: Start at 4 a.m. with noisy hours to start at 7 a.m., ending at 7 p.m., and non-noisy work lasting to 10 p.m. During the decommissioning period, requested hours would be early morning start at 5 a.m., with noisy work from 7 a.m., ending at 7 p.m., and non-noisy work lasting to 9 p.m. Staff is recommending the hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for noisy work, and not authorizing the two early morning hours before 8 a.m. Kim Mosley, 123 Ray Street, spoke against this conditional use permit. He questioned what defined "noisy and non-noisy" operations, and who would monitor the facility's adherence to the use permit conditions. The speaker feels the hours of operation should be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, with no Saturday work hours permitted. He believes that if INS was trying to be a good neighbor, they would be implementing these hours now, not starting their operations as early as 4 a.m. as they are currently doing. Mr. Mosley referred to a letter written by INS which stated they may have to work outside the suggested hours. He does not want INS to have the ability to work outside their hours if the need arises. Mr. Mosley inquired if the neighbors will be in danger of nuclear contamination during the decommissioning and requested documentation that the site has been satisfactorily cleaned. Juanita Bianchi, 4105 Walnut Drive, stated she wants the hours to be limited to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and inquired when exactly would the facility be closed. Mert Murray, 470 Mavis Drive, spoke as an owner of three of the adjacent condominium units. He concurs with the previous speakers. He inquired if the Ontario site is under construction, whether INS has applied for and received a decommissioning permit, and what is their projected demolition time frame. George Gunter, 1805 Greenwood Rd., supports staff recommendations and would like to eliminate Saturday work hours. T. Caudill, 4715B Augustine Street, stated he concurs with the previous speakers and would like a firm moving date for INS. Mr. Sennyes advised that the Ontario facility is a modification of an existing laundry operation and has been under construction for two to three months. Mr. Sennyes did not, however, have a firm moving date; it is based on the completion of the facility. In response to Commissioner Barker, Mr. Sennyes stated they will need a permit to operate the Ontario plant and the permit has been approved. The State also requires a decommissioning plan to be filed, and the decommissioning permit has been applied for. Regarding the time frame for the actual decommissioning work, Mr. Sennyes believes a schedule is instituted once the clean up has begun, with periodic inspections. Mr.""Sennyes"noted the State agencies determine when the site is satisfactorily cleaned. Responding to Chairman Wright, Mr. Sennyes advised that INS employs their own clean-up crews.
