x Subject: WORTH HILLS ADDITION DUMPING
sre
On March 2, 1993 Mr. Willie Hudspeth, a citizen, addressed the City
Council to request control of dumping in the Worth Hills Addition
in the area between NW 35th Street, Long Avenue, Chestnut Avenue
and Angle Avenue (MAPSCO 48-W) . Mr. Hudspeth reported that both
individuals and City forces were dumping in the area on City
property.
A review of this issue has determined that:
1. The City owns 85 of the 122 lots in the Worth
Hills Addition, Blocks 1-4 and 10-12, of which
approximately 25 of the City owned lots are
part of the floodway area in Marine Creek.
2. Dumping has occurred in the past by both City
forces and other individuals. However, review
of this area on March 8, 1993 revealed that no
recent dumping has occurred and records
indicate that the City Services Department was
in this location during the months of January
and February, at which time several thousand
tires were removed for disposal.
3. Cleanup of the lots has been scheduled to
start March 15, 1993 with a project completion
date of March 31,, 1993 pending weather and
ground conditions.
4. To prevent future dumping, access control post
and cable is scheduled for installation with
projected completion by April 30, 1993 . Weed
control moving will occur thereafter on a 6-8
week basis.
The Departments of City Services, Transportation and Public Works-
Street Division and Park and Recreation along with the Tarrant
County Water Control District #1 will work jointly in cleanup of
the City owned properties. Securing the property will be done by
the above listed departments and ongoing maintenance (mowing) will
be achieved by the Park and Recreation Department.
The above actions should address this issue. Should you have any
ques ions, please contact Libby Watson Assistant City Manager at
ext sion 6140.
