Excerpts: Ghent Planning Board meeting on TCI
Feb 11, 2013 12:02 am
TCI of New York President Brian Hemlock appeared before the Ghent Planning Board, Wed., Feb. 6. Hemlock answered questions posed by board members in January, in addition to some new ones. WGXC's Chris Bishop was at the meeting and recorded Hemlock's answers.
Discussion of the lack of a fire suppression system in the building despite being required by the New York state building code. (3:19)
Hemlock said allowing TCI to handle regulated PCBs would be good for Ghent, even though it is against the town code. This request goes beyond the scope of what the company was permitted to do before, which was only to handle unregulated PCBs (less than 50 ppm). In the past, the more toxic material had to remain the transformers and shipped to another facility in Alabama for processing. (4:10)
Planning board member Larry Machiz questions Hemlock on ownership of TCI. (2:07)
