- The facility must be completely enclosed, any open air facility will plum finite drywall particles for miles around.
- The facility must filter any air that is coming from the enclosure (to ensure that the drywall and construction toxins are captured and not disbursed to our neighborhoods)
- The facility must mitigate all traffic concerns (they are projecting 100's of trucks a day)
- The facility must limit itstime of operation (currently under the scope to operate from 5am to 10pm week days with additional weekend hours)
- Filter the water discharged to our storm water system
- Mitigate the noise hazard from the countless trucks that will be entering the neighborhood.

Here is more info on this facility. It has been an issue in the past. Please email Yolonda and make sure she knows we want clean air on Georgetown. Drew has laid out some good points to include in your communication.
