Pam Walker discussed the sewer fumes at the corner of
Westminster Blvd. and Seal Beach Blvd. The odor problem has
been addressed in the past by the Public Works Department,
and steps have been taken by City staff to control the
fumes. The most effective method, corking the manhole
covers, has produced only temporary relief.
New Business
Lowell Kolb addressed the asbestos problem in the homes in
College Park West and, possibly, citywide. He noted the
existence of an interest group called Asbestos Victims of
America. He also observed that ceilings placed in homes
around Seal Beach through 1978 may have asbestos in them
which can shed as the ceilings age. Steve Gavlick concurred
that the problem may exist in Leisure World. Mr. Kolb
suggested that the EQCB become involved in providing
information to the public.
Don Eisenberg moved and Lowell Kolb seconded that staff
present the EQCB with several possible courses of action to
address the asbestos problem.

Hazardous Waste Management Plan, and noted that the EQCB's
