City Council Meeting Minutes April 7, 2015 Page 8 of 26 COUNCIL COMMENTS Council member Loo stated if the byproducts are harmful in the water, would it not be harmful to the land. Public Works Director Kowar stated he did not know whether the government agencies would regulate drying beds beyond what is now regulated. He stated this is the standard method of handling sludge.
