iiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiii <br />~~_ <br />-40- <br /> <br />State Commission, be met. Because at this point, it's an inadequate emergency <br />response plan and I'd like to answer any questions if the Board has any? <br />MR. HOLDER: Does anybody have any questions? <br />MR. BARRY: Yeah, I do. Prax, do you -- you don't go out buy a whole <br />new set of baby clothes before you know your wife is pregnant, do you? <br />MR. ORTEGA: I might. There's different thoughts. <br />MR. HOLDER: He's a planner. <br /> <br />MR. BARRY: I ask the question that way because I knew you might give me <br />a good answer. My point, though, is I don't know anything about SARA Title <br />III. It seems to me that these guys aren't present in your county with an <br />operation there. When they are present with an operation, I think they damn <br />well have to comply with local emergency planning procedures and manuals and <br />all that stuff. Until they are there, I'm not sure they are in default. I <br />mean, they don't have any permit to do anything down there yet. And, I guess, <br />my view would be until they are there and they have a permit, I'm not sure <br />it's terribly relevant that they haven't answered your letter. [mean, they <br />didn't have something to say about this, I don't have any idea what they are <br />saying. But, yeah, ihey've got the 120,000 pounds of cyanide on site, that <br />would seem to me that they would probably come under some sort of SARA <br />Emergency Response and at that point, I think they got to comply, I don't <br />know if they have to comply now. Because they don't have anything yet. <br />MR. ORTEGA: I could answer that. See, because I'm just they low man on <br />the totem pole anyway. So I went to my Division Supervisor, Mr. Jack Truby <br />and I said, "Jack, what shall I do?" He says, "Well, maybe E1 Paso County has <br />a sample why we invent the wheel and this new SARA Title III regulations; send <br />it to the mine people now." And I did that solely on the advice of my <br />supervisor, and in my meeting this morning with Mr. Pat Burn who is the <br /> <br />
