inspections were done under the Alameda County Health Department and the inspector retired and the files couldn't be located. He stated employees have been there as long as 15 years and as a result of safety checks, do not have large concentrations of radiation in their bodies. Mr. Harris stated that Mr. Brown presumably knows how to interpret this report and this statement is correct. Further, Helgeson Nuclear does a check on these people once or twice a year depending on the job the person performs at the plant with highly calibrated instru- ments. He stated further that the State requires Interstate to have a consultant health physicist (Frank Bold) who inspects four times per year and that his reports are sent to the State and copies are maintained by the laundry but that the staff has not been provided with Bold's reports and that Mr. Brown did not indicate any of the reports show hazardous conditions and that further, the State seems quite happy with their performance. Chairperson Wilson asked Mr. Harris if he has made arrangements for the City to receive all future reports. He also asked that if this appli- cation was denied, would this jeopardize the current business at the site. Mr. Harris responded that whether or not this use permit is approved, the laundry will be allowed to continue to operate as it is now but it might be advisable to discuss this with the City Attorney. Chairperson Wilson stated that the expansion of 2500 sq. ft. would be a 'clean area' and that he understands that it would be where the laundry goes after it has been processed and access to this area would not be through the rear wall of the existing building but access would have to be out of the current building and then into the new expansion and further that expansion does not necessarily mean expanding the current use with the addition of new equipment for new production and that what is attempting to be accomplished is to add a room to store processed laundry. Commissioner Getty asked if the laundry people had met with the Southern Pacific Railroad people regarding landscaping the area. Mr. Harris stated he did not know. The public hearing was opened. Craig Connelly spoke representing Interstate Uniform Services Corporation. He stated he had no comments on the staff report but would reserve the right to rebut comments made by others. Chairperson Wilson asked for confirmation of his statements made earlier in the presentation and Mr. Connelly stated Chairperson Wilson's comments were accurate and that the only machinery to be brought in would be to replace worn out machinery. Chairperson Wilson asked Mr. Connelly about the piece of machinery that was outside of the building. -2- _ _ .... _.__ ... _ .... ~ _ _ ...___.__,_._.__~ ..... _ , ... _ . _ __ ~~ __ _ , ... _ _ _ .. _ ._ _. __ r . _.
