Councillor Driscoll moved for immediate reconsideration in the hopes it
would not prevail. Reconsideration was denied.
RESOLUTION:
WHEREAS, the City of Salem has supported the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection's (DEP) stricter emission standards for the Salem
Harbor Power Plant and their (DEP's) preliminary decision to grant a 2006
compliance date,
WHEREAS, on February 6, 2003, Governor Mitt Romney announced that DEP
had changed its preliminary decision for the Salem Harbor Power Plant to meet
the new emission standards from 2006 to an earlier date of 2004, and
WHEREAS, the Salem Harbor Power Plant, is the City's largest tax paying entity
providing $6.7 million in tax revenues in the current fiscal year, as well as
providing over 150 jobs for residents of Salem and surrounding communities, and
WHEREAS, PG&E and/or their successor, is poised to expend approximately
$100 million dollars at the Salem Harbor Power Plant in order to comply with
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) emission standards, which are
considered to be the strictest emission standards in the nation, and
WHEREAS, in order to complete these renovations, the plant must undertake
both a state (DEP) and local permitting process prior to construction that will
likely require petitions before the City's Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning
Board, and Conservation Commission, and
WHEREAS, the timeframe for completing these renovations is impacted by the
length of time necessary to obtain state and local permits, and
WHEREAS, the decision requiring the plant to comply with a 2004 deadline was
made with little or no input from either the Mayor or the City Council regarding
alternative solutions to mitigate the employment and financial impact to the City
of Salem, and
WHEREAS, this revised deadline has a major impact on PG&E or their
successor's ability to operate the plant;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SALEM, as follows:
CITY OF SALEM 35
FEBRUARY 13, 2003
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
That the Council supports and re-emphasizes the need for the current and/or
future owners of the Salem Harbor Power Plant to meet the DEP emission
standards as soon as reasonably possible;
That while desirous of a plant emissions clean up, the Council believes it is not
reasonably possible for the Salem Harbor Power Plant to complete renovations
by the October 1, 2004 deadline, which will likely lead to costly and lengthy
litigation resulting in a possible delay for compliance in 2006;
As such, the Council implores the Governor and DEP to reconsider the
imposition of a 2004 deadline in favor of a critical path schedule for compliance
that would build in extensions from the October 1, 2004 deadline, provided that
the plant operator will work to comply with the emission standards as soon as
possible but in no event later than 2006;
Lastly, the Council encourages the Mayor to enter into discussions with both the
Governor and DEP aimed at educating and informing state officials on the
economic impacts that any imposed deadline will have on Salem's short and
long-term fiscal stability and vitality.
