MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETY OF THE CITY OF AUBURN HELD MAY 11, 2004
Bill Gisel of the Evening Star, Dave DeKoninck with the Town Tavern, Tom Hogan with Johnson Controls, Michael Walter and Tina Shipe and were present. COMMUNICATIONS Michael Walter, member of the City Council addressed the Board on the slag to be used at Rieke Park. Walter stated he is on record as opposing the use of it; however, if the City is determined to use the slag, test data should be sent to IDEM to determine that the classification is no worse than Type 4. Walter requested a copy of available test data as well as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on the slag. Mayor Yoder stated the City has data available for anyone requesting it. The slag being considered for use on the Rieke Park parking lot is tested twice a year by INDOT. Most of the chemicals in the slag are below determinable limits. Mayor Yoder stated that he spoke with a representative from IDEM. Yoder was informed IDEM does not have jurisdiction over slag, however, after review of the test data, the representative stated that possibly one of the chemicals could trigger the slag to Type 3, which would still be safe to use.
