Subcommittee orders quarterly operational reports, considers continuous monitoring and IDEM involvement
Summary
The committee moved operational reporting from annual to quarterly, added requirements to report direct and indirect water use, agreed to air‑quality reporting and third‑party verification 'as requested' by APC/BZA, and asked staff to add state agencies (IDEM, state building department) and EMA to relevant checklists.
Under the 'operational reporting and monitoring' section the subcommittee decided to require quarterly operational reports from the owner/operator (and developer where applicable) rather than annual updates. Members also agreed the reports should include both direct and indirect water usage (to capture cooling and on‑site power generation impacts) and added an air‑quality requirement.
Committee members and public commenters recommended adding third‑party verification and involving state agencies when appropriate. "That way, if there's a major complaint from a nearby resident, we have the ability to request [third‑party verification] immediately," a committee member said. The draft was updated to allow the APC or BZA to require third‑party verification, to be paid from escrow when requested on reasonable cause, and staff were directed to add IDEM and the state building department for technical inspections when commercial building standards apply.
