REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 7/20/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 09-006 Analysis: Periodically the city receives requests for reactivation of oil production facilities. Some of these locations have not been in operation for several years. Before the proposed work can proceed, it is often necessary that a site safety review and inspection be performed. This review and site safety inspection provides assurances that oil production facilities operate in a safe manner. Fee for service charged would be fully reimbursable by the requesting party. Such reviews are necessary to ensure that the facility is compliant with the City of Huntington Beach Fire Code, applicable city requirements, and other regulatory requirements from agencies such as the California Department of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, California Department of Occupational Safety and Health, Orange County Sanitation District, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, South Coast Air Quality Management District, Department of Toxic Substance Control, County of Orange Health Care Agency, etc. Providing life safety and protection of the environment are paramount responsibilities of the fire department. Performing site safety reviews and inspections will provide assurances that oil production facilities operate in a safe manner. Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain and enhance public safety. Environmental Status: The need for site safety reviews and inspection derives from the City of Huntington Beach Fire Code, applicable city requirements and other regulatory requirements, as referenced above.
