The Deputy Engineer briefly described the current location and monitoring

capability of GVRD air quality monitoring stations located within the
City. Station 41 located at 2150 Wilson Avenue samples particulate matter
once every 6 days on a year round basis. Station T21 at Sun Valley Park
monitors ozone concentrations from April through September. The data is
recorded on a paper chart on a continuous basis throughout the period of
operations.

Port Noody to a location in Coquitlam to provide a more centralized
sampling location for the area. The Fagle Ridge station currently
rrrsnitors a full range of air quality parameters.

The Committee felt that the GVRD should be requested to upgrade the
monitoring station to sample a full range of air quality parameters on a
year round tasis. This would require that the City provide a minimum
space of 2.5 meters by 5.0 meters which is accessible to power and

The Chairman noted that he has been advised by SHARE
that they intend to
give six months notice to the effect that they will discontinue
pick-up of newspapers in the City. It was suggested that Derek the

invited to attend the next EPC meeting to provide statistics on Nlurphy
how
much
newspaper is being picked up in the City, and whether or not a
subsidy in
the amount of the tipping fee saved would
be sufficient to prevert the
discontinuation of the pick-up service. The Committee felt that
every
