Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to consider the adoption of a local law entitled "Moratorium on the Installation of Large Propane Tanks" Law. Purpose Over the Memorial Day weekend, a leaking underground propane tank was detected. Due to the professionalism of the Town's personnel, the propane tank was emptied and the leaking gas burned off without injury either to person or property. If this corrective action had not been taken, the tank may have exploded and caused damage not only to the home on which the tank was installed but to neighboring properties and people as well. Because of the poor condition of the tank, it took over 24 hours for the gas to be burned off. Throughout this time, Town personnel were required to remain on site, causing the Town to incur thousands of dollars in overtime compensation. The cost would have been even higher had not so many of the responders been volunteers willing to sacrifice their time on a holiday weekend. This incident has alerted the Town Board to the necessity of examining the use of propane and other hazardous substances within the Town, and if warranted, developing regulations to control such use and a procedure for recovering the cost incurred by the Town for responding to the discharge of propane or other hazardous substances within the Town. In order to study the issue, the Town Board has determined that it is necessary to impose a moratorium upon the installation of propane tanks with a capacity for 50 or more pounds of propane. The full text of this Local law may be examined and copies obtained at the Town Clerk's office during regular hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, or until 4:00 PM during June, July and August) at 740 W. Boston Post Road Mamaroneck, New York. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that at the Public Hearing all persons interested will be given an opportunity to be heard and that all persons are invited to submit written comments at or prior thereto. BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK CHRISTINA BATTALIA TOWN CLERK Published: June 10, 2008 On motion of Councilwoman Wittner seconded by Councilman Fishman, the Public Hearing was unanimously opened. Chief McCarthy and Captain Liverzani were asked to explain the recent incident which has brought this issue to the forefront. Paul Harrigan, of Paraco Gas Company, addressed the Board giving a Propane Tank '101' to the Board. He emphasized that the new tank technology is extremely safe and follows stringent OSCA and State laws. He maintains that the older tanks, ones that would not be affected by this moratorium are really the culprits and would not be addressed. He suggests requiring pressure testing of all tanks every 6 months. Mr. Harrigan presented Paraco's written statement to the Town Clerk, which is entered into the record as having been received. 5 JULY 9, 2008 The Board decided to adjourn the Public Hearing until August 6, 2008, at which time they will have further information to address this issue. They also asked Mr. Maker to review the proposed Moratorium and make recommendations on its wording. Supervisor O'Keeffe asked if anyone wished to speak for or against the proposed law.
