Chemical Spill â?? Sul Ross Avenue

Chemical Spill – Sul Ross Avenue

November 29, 2016
Dear Citizens,

Several folks have contacted their City elected official or my office regarding the chemical spill on Sul Ross Avenue (just west of Phelps Ave). The chemical’s formal name is AE-P Primer MSDS and is a common substance the City and/or it’s vendors utilize on street repair and maintenance.

First and foremost, I would like to apologize to our citizens for the concern and worry this has caused. J Horry (our new ACM over Outside Services) and myself are working back with TCEQ and the vendor responsible for the spill on clean-up. We anticipate starting the remediation later today. TCEQ has outlined a couple of expectations with J and he will be providing the oversight to the clean-up and subsequent re-vegetation.

Please feel free to reach out to myself or J with any concerns (erik.zimmer@ci.alpine.tx.us and j.horry@ci.alpine.tx.us).

Erik Zimmer, City Manager
