DeMann countered that Hercules has done calculations on the proposed propellant manufacturing three, and accordingly has decided that they are within the overpressure already ring established. Terry Hoi z worth, County Public Works Director, said that his department has gone to Sandia for the first set of data, and the countys position is that they are not going to permit it to take additional ground. He added that he would personally evaluate that criteria and before a final decision is McDermaid made. However, asked if they could arbitrarily take Arbor Park out of the overpressure zone, what was going to prevent them from doing the same thing with the present situation? Holzworth said that they had done what they called the "best fit," and since it was in a commercial the zone and buildings are block with no windows facing the blast area, it could be excluded. In answer to a question the result of an concerning the at explosion facility, Holzworth said it would be a pressure wave that would be controlled by the weather at the time of such an incident. "If you have a clear day the blast would go straight up," he said. "But if you have a temperature inversion it would go out. At point two ring you would see a wind pressure equivalent to a 95 mile an hour wind." "Why are you putting theses things so close to human LaRee Pehrson habitation,?" asked. "Thiokol is 30 miles from Brigham City, and they have had some problems there. You are playing with the same kind of stuff and we are sitting only three miles away from you, which puts this entire community at risk." Dick Burrows asked what kind of damage that would occur in the event of that kind of a wind, and was told that it would not be a wind of long duration, "but one that would be here and then gone, and would probably entail some window breakage." One person related the case of a an hour wind in Davis County and the southern part ol the state which ripped off roofs in its wake. However, Hercules engineers said that this "wind" is different from a sustained blast because normal winds continue for a greater length of time. Joe Ribotto referred to the master plan put out by Hercules that said that you could expect eight percent of the windows to break in the .2 area based on the strength of the glass and window sizes. He added that 15 percent of those facing the blast would break. "The thing that concerns us is that the expansion is moving to the north," Ribotto said. "The old overpressure range doesnt mean anything." DeMann answered that the major problem concerned with going south is that the production facility basically has to be on a grade and they would have to fill in the Coons Canyon. Also, the M-zoning does not extend into that area. Some also in attendance expressed irritation over the Hercules-Wes- t Valley annexation. "With this annexation West Valley has been accommodated, the county has been accommodatHercules been has ed, accommodated, but Magna has McDermaid said. She not," further pointed out that people were moving out of the area between 4100 South and the canal. DeMann responded that was the reason they had applied for to West Valley, annexation because the county had not taken into consideration their request that no more houses would be built in that area. Mike Retford also stated that properties in close proximity to Hercules had been devalued, and that people living there would disenfranchise because those people are living in Salt Lake County, and Hercules will soon be part of West Valley City. That eliminates their having a direct voice to the governmental agency that has control over the property they bought in good faith and which has now been devalued. "Clearly there is a negative effect of being in the overpressure zone," DeMann said. "Weve been saying that for 16 years, but it is not the sole negative effect on property values." ilM mu-m- u to Jean Orton, According director at the center, this year more people participated in the parade than ever before. and beef and vegetable stir fry with egg roll and sweet and sour sauce, as well as ham fried rice, a fortune cookie and an orange with a potato roll on Friday.
