Allison Exall Ms. Allison Exall, 1700 Pacific Avenue, Suite 4100, Dallas, Texas,
Environmental Attorney representing the Goodrich Corporation, appeared
before Council in support of the Mayor and Council Communication No. G-
15749. She assured the Council that the Goodrich Corporation would always
be responsible for the contamination plume caused by the former Menasco
Manufacturing Company and that the responsibility would not change if the
property was purchased and redeveloped. She stated that Goodrich Corporation
had complied with the requests of the state and the adjacent school for the past
seven years. She responded to the question posed by Mayor Pro tem Hicks
relative to future plans of the site by stating that the property was for sale and
that buyers had expressed an interest but with the uncertainty surrounding the
environmental conditions, no one would purchase the property until the MSD
or environmental issues were resolved. She added that the property was zoned
Heavy Industrial and that she fully expected that the property would be used as
Heavy Industrial in the future.
Council Member Silcox requested that Ms. Exall clarify her comments relative
to the seven year reference.
Ms. Exhall stated that the contamination was discovered over seven years ago
and at that time Goodrich reported the contamination to the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). She reiterated that the Goodrich
Corporation would always be responsible for the contamination caused by
Menasco. She stated the MSD designation would remove the issue of
groundwater from the closure scenario and that the groundwater would not be
used or anyone exposed or harmed by the contaminated ground water.
Steven George Mr. Steven George, Environmental Consultant that prepared the MSD
applications, 1605 Larkspur Drive, Arlington, Texas, appeared before Council
in support of the MSDs being approved. He pointed out that it took a long
time, sometimes decades, to clean a contaminated area. He stated that the
Goodrich Corporation inherited the contaminated site from the previous
owners, Menasco Manufacturing Company, and that the surrounding
neighborhoods were not affected by the spill as it was all contained within the
industrial site. He added that approval of the MSDs would help to clean up the
sites and allow them to be developed. Council Member Moss posed questions
to Mr. George relative to the flow and movement in the direction of the plume
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JUNE 19, 2007
PAGE 12 of 34
and how far south it went. Council Member Moss also questioned the
feasibility of the ground water ever being clean enough to use as drinking
water. Mr. George indicated that the plume was stable and flowed to the south
and slightly to the southeast. He added that it had good boundaries on the north
and did not affect properties on the east or west side of the site. He further
stated that chlorinated solvents did not allow the affected water to be cleaned
sufficiently to ever be used as drinking water.
Lou Blanchard Ms. Lou Blanchard, 12500 S. Pipeline, Euless, Texas, School Director of
Treetops School International, appeared before Council in support of the
MSDs. She stated that her relationship with the Goodrich Corporation had been
very positive and that the company was very proactive in monitoring
groundwater contamination. She added that wells on the school's property did
not show any level of toxicity and encouraged the Council to approve the MSD.
She also clarified that the school had not received any monetary benefit or land
benefit from Goodrich Corporation
Warren Bonham Mr. Warren Bonham, 12625 Calloway Cemetery Road, Euless, Texas,
President of Direct Fuels, appeared before Council in support of Mayor and
Council Communication G-15748. He stated that the MSD was the best
solution for the entire area. He assured the Council that his company held itself
to a very high standard and that the company was always pursing practical
solutions to the contamination issues.
Kevin Parker Mr. Kevin Parker, 12409 Calloway Cemetery Road, representing Sun Coast

all environmental and safety requirements of the MSD and requested the
Council's favorable consideration.
Trista Bowden Ms. Trista Bowden, 12925 Chittamwood Trail, appeared before Council in
support of Mayor and Council Communication No. G-15749. She stated that
she had attended a meeting on the MSDs and understood their value and why

requested the Council's favorable consideration of the MSD.

hundred feet from the bluff carved out by the Trinity River which fed Lake
Lavene and was the water supply for Houston. He stated this was grounds for
denying the application. He emphasized that for many contaminates indicated
on the application there were no established safe level and that Council should
err on the side of caution.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks questioned which property he lived near. Mr. Wildey
indicated he was not sure, he had just received a notice of the hearings.
David Tuckfield Mr. David J. Tuckfield, Attorney, 12400 Highway 71 West, Suite 350-150,
Austin, Texas, representing Flint Hills Resources, appeared before Council in
opposition of the MSDs. He summarized the purpose of an MSD and pointed
out that the MSD removed the groundwater standard. He expressed concern
that applicant did not know the southern boundary of the plume or the depth of
the contaminated water. However, the applicant was asking the Council to
remove the most stringent standard based on a lack of knowledge. He further
stated that TCEQ would not evaluate the groundwater for drinking water
standards as that was how the MSD was designed. He urged the Council not to
make a decision on the MSDs without having complete knowledge and asked
that they deny the MSDs.
Council Member Scarth asked Mr. Tuckfield what the plan was for the Flint
Hill property and how the MSD would specifically affect his client.
Mr. Tuckfield stated that Flint Hills had no plan to change it current operations
as it was a terminal facility. He added that the MSD affected Flint Hills as it
allowed Goodrich to not address the groundwater contamination under their
site.
Council Member Scarth inquired if the MSD removed the financial
responsibility of the applicant.
Mr. Boerner stated that the applicant was still held liable for any problems that
resulted from the release held under the MSD that affected other parties.
Council Member Moss clarified that Flint Hill was an innocent owner-operator
as was Sun Coast Industries, Inc. He added that as it related to the liability for
the plume, it had been determined that Flint Hill did not contribute to the
plume; and, therefore, the Goodrich Corporation had the legal liability for that
responsibility.

Elizabeth Page Ms. Elizabeth Page, 12550 Trinity Boulevard, Euless, Texas, representing Flint
Hill, appeared before Council in opposition of the MSDs. She stated that Flint
Hill had provided significant data to the state over the past several years that
identified one single plume and not several plumes as referred to by
representatives of the Goodrich Corporation. She explained the path the plume
traveled under the Flint Hill property, discussed the map used by the Goodrich
Corporation which she pointed out was rejected by TCEQ and referred to a
letter from TCEQ stating that only a single plume existed on the property and
that wells were not appropriately installed. She pointed out that the source of
the contamination, the saturated soil on the property that led to the
groundwater, had not been removed from the site as stated by the Goodrich
Corporation.
Michaelann Bush Ms. Michaelann Bush, 12608 Sweet Bay Drive, Euless, Texas, appeared before
Council in opposition of the MSDs. She stated that she could not determine
how the MSDs would benefit residential neighborhoods. She stated that she
would be in support of the MSDs if the property owners could clean the
property. She also cautioned the Council about "rubber stamping" these
requests. She added that there should be much larger buffer zones between
affected neighborhoods and industrial areas.
Mayor Moncrief requested that Mr. Boerner respond to the question of whether
the plume was stable or not stable and whether contaminates were contained.
Mr. Boerner stated that he agreed with the state that from the southern end the
Goodrich Corporation did not know where the boundary was. He stated that
the plume was not moving north, east or west and that the plume was stable.
He added that it was not known how far south the plume had traveled at this
point; however, as part of the closure process with the State of Texas, the
Goodrich Corporation had to ensure that there was no impact to the inhalation,
dermal contact or environmental receptors.
Council Member Moss stated that the key issue when the City started looking at
the MSD was not from the standpoint of the redevelopment of the Goodrich
site, but if there was an impact on the residential neighborhoods that adjoined
this property. He added that the neighborhood would not be affected by the
MSD and reiterated comments that the Goodrich Corporation would remain
responsible for ensuring the contamination was contained whoever owned the
property.

Assistant City Manager Joe Paniagua provided a PowerPoint briefing to the
Council of the proposed street closure. He addressed how the closure would
have an affect on the valet service in the area and the alternate travel route that
would be required.
Council Member Burdette stated that approving this request would be an
unprecedented decision by the Council and he expressed concern with closing a
public right-of-way that would benefit only one investor and the impact it
would have on fire and safety issues. He added that the closure would be an
inconvenience to citizens and other businesses and advised the Council needed
to act cautiously on this issue. He further stated that activities in the venue
needed to be very closely monitored to ensure compliance with the agreement.
(Council Member Moss left his place at the dais.)
Council Member Jordan expressed concern with the added cost to the taxpayer
relative to the closure.
Mr. Paniagua stated that he was not aware of any additional costs the City
would incur and advised that 100 West Exchange Avenue, Inc., would hire and
pay six additional off-duty Police Officers to work the events.

venues.

L.L.P., 301 Commerce Street, representing the Stockyards Hotel and H3 Ranch,
appeared before Council in opposition of the street closure. He advised the
Council that some stakeholders in the Stockyards would be significantly
impacted by the street closures. He asked that the placement of Police Officers
on 24th Street and Main Street and West Exchange Avenue and Main Street be a
requirement on the permit. He added that the left turn signal on 24th Street and
Main Street only allowed time for a few cars to proceed through the intersection
before turning red. He requested that the signal be programmed to allow at

appeared before Council in opposition of the street closure. She stated that
Police Officers were needed to control traffic and provide safety to customers
of the Stockyards.

increase business in the Stockyards; however, he was not comfortable with the

closed. He recommended that the Council close the streets for the three periods
requested and then take another look at the closures at the July 10, 2007,

Raul Jaquez Mr. Raul Jaquez, 3400 Galvez Avenue, applicant for the zoning change,
appeared before Council in support of the zoning change. He stated that the
zoning change had already been delayed once and a further delay prevented
him from making repairs to the property damaged by fire.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks apologized to Mr. Jaquez for the additional delay and
explained that adjacent property owners had expressed concern with the zoning
change and she wanted to meet with them to work towards a compromise since
the request was for Single Family zoning next to Industrial zoning.
Council Member Davis advised that the adjacent property was "J" Medium
Industrial and the property owner had the intention of expanding the business in
the future. She added that the owner was concerned that with the rezoning of
One-Family Residential adjacent to them would prohibit them from expanding
as they intended. She pointed out that she suggested that Mayor Pro tem Hicks
create "PD" zoning on the industrial site with a narrative that included the
opportunity for that expansion efforts in the future, waiving the site plan, but
requiring a site plan be filed at the time that the expansion occurred.

Heavy Industrial.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks stated that she had received an e-mail expressing concern
with the zoning change. She pointed out that this property was in a suburban
area that bordered other cities and that she would meet with the applicant to
obtain clarification of the operations at the site as the requested zoning was a
significant deviation from that allowed in the Comprehensive Plan.
Jim Schell Mr. Jim Schell, 901 Fort Worth Club Building, representing the applicant,
appeared before Council in support of the zoning change. He pointed out that
this case was on the City's fast-track zoning and was unanimously approved by
the City Zoning Commission. He stated that the property was annexed into the
City in 1999 and required Industrial zoning because operations at the site
included the bending and cutting of steel. He added that his client must close
on the property in two weeks from today and the next Council meeting was not
scheduled until July 10, 2007, which would negatively impact his client.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks stated that she understood Mr. Schell's position;
however, she needed the continuation until the July 10, 2007, Council meeting
to meet with citizens in opposition of the zoning change.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks made a motion, seconded by Council Member Silcox,
that Zoning Docket No. ZC-07-098, be continued until the July 10, 2007,

William Mitchell Mr. William Mitchell, 6008 Plants Avenue, appeared before Council relative to
flooding in the Handley Triangle neighborhood. He stated that he had
contacted several City departments to address this issue and was informed that
the area was part of the City's bond program; however, money for this issue
was always transferred elsewhere which delayed the needed work in his
neighborhood.
Mayor Moncrief advised Mr. Mitchell that City staff would take a close look at
this area and check its status on the bond listing. He added that staff would
provide a report to the Council with their evaluation of the situation and that
Mr. Mitchell would also be advised.
Council Member Moss requested that Mr. Mitchell meet with his Council Aide,
Michelle Reynolds, and provide information about the flooding issue.
L. Edward Mr. L. Edward Briscoe, Jr., 2240 Briardale Road, President of the Glencrest
Briscoe, Jr. Civic League, appeared before Council relative to the association's opposition
of a high impact gas well at the Glen Gardens Country Club. He submitted
another petition from individuals in opposition of the gas well and asked that
the issue be brought before the Council for discussion and action. He pointed
out that the area had vacant properties where the gas well could be located and
that waiver provisions in the ordinance did not work when those provisions
negatively impacted citizens.
City Attorney Yett stated that the applicant for the permit had complied with
the ordinance by securing written waivers from all property owners within the
affected area and therefore administratively was entitled to the issuance of the
permit. He requested that Assistant City Attorney Sarah Fullenwider to
describe what the timetable was for the permit issuance.
Assistant City Attorney Sarah Fullenwider explained that the ordinance
required City staff issue a permit within 30 days if the company had met all the
requirements. She stated that the Four Sevens Oil Company had met all
requirements of the ordinance and the permit would be administratively issued
on June 22, 2007.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks reiterated staff comments and stated that she was
concerned about the misinformation going out to residents in the Rolling Hills
area. She stated that there was no way this issue would come before the
Council and therefore she met with Four Sevens Oil Company, the drilling
company and the Glen Garden Country Club to develop an alternate travel

route for the trucks. She added that she had been informed by the
Transportation and Public Works Department that the alternate route had been
approved. She pointed out that two property owners within 600 feet of the
proposed well site had signed waivers and that the issue was out of the
Council's control. She added that she had not heard from these property
owners that they had been misled in any way.
Assistant City Attorney Fullenwider advised that the Four Sevens Oil Company
did require those waivers from the only two property owners within 600 feet of
the site and that the waivers had been signed and filed in the deed records as
required by the ordinance.
Mayor Moncrief commended Mayor Pro tem Hicks's work on this issue and
stated that she had gone above and beyond normal expectations to ensure
everyone's voice was heard. He added that the Council was comfortable with
