that no improper charges were made and that the
City did not pay expenses for friends traveling
with her. She further stated that these records
were available for public review.
C/Horcher stated that he objected to the recently -
published City Newsletter and the date for the
dedication of Peterson Park which is three days
prior to the election. He felt that these efforts
were to show the public how "greats' their elected
officials are so they could win re-election.
C/Miller responded that C/Horcher did not seem to
object to the Newsletter and Peterson Park
dedication date when previous discussions took
place and wondered why they had now become an
issue.
MPT/Werner reported on the FEMA Seminar that
M/Papen, CM/Van Nort, Charles Majus, a local

recommended that an EOS sub -station (Emergency
Operations System) be set up at City Hall. The
initial cost for this project would be between
$30,000 and $35,000. This would include radio
communications (ham station), food and water
supplies for staff and training for all City
staff.

regarding the view of Prospectors Rd. by the

areas. M/Papen stated that this matter would
be referred to Code Enforcement.
Tony Lucchino, 24412 Eastgate, asked whether
the City Council had worked with the Pomona

this matter and help organize the community
to work with Pomona.
Shirley Lucchino, 24412 Eastgate, advised
that a meeting had been scheduled for 7 p.m.
on March 15th at Golden Springs Elementary
School, at which time the Pomona Unified
School District would discuss the development
of the school. She requested more support
from the City on this issue.
Cleve Holified, 656 S. Farben, stated that he
was disappointed in the Council in dealing
with the Pomona school issue. He stated that
he had served for 1 year on the School Site
Selection Committee and that during that
time, no one from the Council participated in

in Diamond Bar. He suggested that the
Council attend School Board meetings to
discuss this issue.

permits prior to its performance of the franchise.

California Registered Civil or Structural Engineer before they
will be accepted for design or location approval.

tation of the proposed shelter site, covering the area from

cial user, the specific consent of the commercial user

WALNUT REGIONAL STATION CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
SUBJECT: SPECIAL EVENT CONTRACT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AT
THE COUNTRY HILLS TOWN CENTER IN DIAMOND BAR
Recently there has been an increase in the number of
youths congregating in the County Hills Town Center in
the area of the Krikorian Theatres and the Burger King
restaurant. Although most of the youths are there for
legitimate purposes, others, including some gang members,
are using the location as a meeting place and are not
customers.
The management of the venter, as well as Walnut Station,
is concerned that the shopping center not become a focal
point for any gang activity. As you know, such activity
breeds violence and other criminal activity such as
narcotic sales. it is extremely important that any such
trend be reversed at the onset. Ms. Laurie Stites is the
property manager of the center being employed by R & B
Commercial Properties, 5303 Harbor, Suite F -S, Costa
Mesa, California 92626, (714) 979-9997. She has
expressed, on behalf of the company, the same concerns.
To forestall problems in the future, Ms. Stites, on
behalf of her company, has expressed the desire to enter
into some type of a contract that would provide two
Deputy Sheriffs on Friday and Saturday nights, 7:30 p.m.
to 1:00 a.m. for exclusive duty at the Country Hills Town
Center. The cost of this extra presence would be borne
by her company.
The most expeditious method to accomplish providing these
personnel would be for the Cit of Diamond Bar to enter
into a contract with R &' I Commercial Properties.
Services of the Deputies would be billed to the City by
the Sheriff's Department under provisions of the existing
contract and the City in turn would bill R & B Commercial
Properties.

RE: Malathion spraying Issues
As you know, in the last several weeks, there has
been a veritable explosion of concern and litigation arising
cut of the above-rarpetenced issue. Enclosed herewith is a copy
of an urgency ordinance adopted by the City of Pasadena which,
while not specifically indicating that it addresses the issue,
nonetheless was targeted at the use of helicopters spraying
inalathion over the City. We are infor ed that other cities,
including Azusa, have adopted similar ordinances which purport
to ban "formation flying,, over the city air space at certain
low altitude levels. Wye are informed that the State of
California has filed su,t against all cities which have adopted
such an ordinance in an attempt to have such ordinances
rendered invalid on the basis, first, that such ordinances
attempt to invade the Purview Of the Federal Aviation
Administration which, arguably set standards for flying of
helicopters. Add.itionally, the Mate apparently has filed
lawsuits againet cities attempting to utilize such ordinances
against the helicopter companies which have been Ontra.cted by
the State for the spraying of malathion. Whose matters are
Presently pending and, while we have not had an oppertun4ty to
review any of the pleadings in these natters, it appears at
least arguable that the State nab= well be correct with respect
to the issue of FAA involvement.
Additionally, Huntington Beach and several canes
hive filed lawsuits against the State of California both in
Sacramento and in Federal District 0-011rt in Los Angeles
attempting to obtain injunctive relief to stay any future
spraying can the basis that the use of malathion ray violate the
requirenents of Proposition 63, the recently enacted Mate
legislation 'With respect to the use of various chemicals Lghlch
nay be carcinogens. Those attacks run the ga-,mut frog arguing

that malathion, as applied, may contain carcinogens, that the
declaration of emergency allegedly authorizing the use of such
spraying techniques is invalid and, finally, that the Federal
Environmental Protection A98ncy has not reviewed such use and
therefore the use ie invalid. To date, all sUch attempts have
net with substantial resistance from the State of California
and,, at least with respect to the Sacramento litigation, have
been thwarted by the Courts.
Numerous Cities have, Of course, a.dcpted resolutions
urging the Governor to seek to discontinue the use of malathion
spraying pending further review and analysis of malathion with
respect to i~te effects upon persons, aninals, and. property. It
appears that such resolution8 and direct requests of the
Governor have not met with any success, to this paint.
Several cities have, additionally, requested that the
State Agricultural Con -Mission and others involved make a
presentation to the City Council at which opponents of
Malathion spraying can likewise mane a presentation. In most
instances, such presentations conclude with either the adoption
Of .sone type of direotio n to urge the Cover'nor to discontinue
the spraying or result in no further action being taken by the
City Councils. As can be seem above, a limited number of
communities have, in fact, instituted litigation in attempt to
cause a discontinuance of the spraying.
Please provide a copy of this memorandum to the City
Council for its use during the Meeting of Larch 20, 1.9904
Should the Council so direct, we will be more than happy to
gather various documents .and determine the Potential ef'f'icacy
of entering any of the existing 'iti.ga.ted mattiers or initiating
litigation on behalf of the City.

Report on California Legislative Hearing re: Fiscal Implications
of Aerial Malathion Spraying. I attended this hearing on
Wednesday, February 28th. The attached is my report as well as the
handouts given by the Committee.
ASSEMBLY
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
Ways and Means Subcommittee No. 1 on
Health and Human Services
Wednesday, February 28, 1990
9:30 a.m. - 2:45 p.m.
State Office Building, Auditorium
Van Nuys, California
ISSUES: Is the medfly established in California? Is it
eradicable?
How much will the medfly cost California growers
if it becomes established?
How much does California spend on alternatives to
pesticide use? Should we spend more? Who should
do this work?
OPENING REMARKS BY ASSEMBLYMAN TERRY B. FRIEDMAN, CHAIRMAN:
Over one million people in California believe the
Governor should cease in spraying and should not start again until
it is proven that repeated malathion spraying is completely safe.
The Department of Food & Agriculture has a current budget
of $6 million for pesticides. Yet, the cost of the malathion
aerial sprayings to date, since November 1989, has cost $38
million. The cost of the program calls almost entirely on the
community, the victims of the bombardings, while all the benefits
of the sprayings go directly to the growers and also benefit the
Department of Food & Agriculture.
The Committee that presently determines whether the
sprayings should go on, needs to be re -organized to include
scientists and entomologists.
This Subcommittee meeting today, believes that the
Department of Food & Agriculture should put more effort into
researching and implementing biological control of the medfly
rather than by the use of pesticides. It further believes that the
medfly is already established and we now need to study the behavior
of the medfly and implement a plan to control the problem. it is
not an eradication problem at all.
MR. JOHN RATZENBERGER (ACTOR) - PUBLIC CONCERNS REGARDING SPRAYING:
For years, various individuals and legislators have
worked to reduce the use of all pesticides within the environment
due to the possible cancer-causing agents involved in them. Now
the Governor has taken it upon himself to authorize the spraying of
millions of people, daily, with a pesticide that we no little
about. The people that benefit exclusively from these spraying
should bear the cost of their programs.
Presently, the sprayings involve 13 locations within a
300 square mile zone. At the present time, they are spraying every
three weeks. In April and May of 1990, they propose spraying every
two weeks and in June 1990, every week, in the targeted areas.
Medical research since the time the sprayings began,
indicates that malathion causes coughing, rashes of the skin,
rashes in children (whether exposes directly/ indirectly), sinus
problems, flu symptoms, and further irritates asthma and hayfever
patients, with no way to treat the problems.
Even if the public does benefit in some way from these
sprayings, the general population does not believe they benefit
enough to justify their bearing the entire cost of the program.
DAVID BUNN, PESTICIDE WATCH - CALIFORNIA PUBLIC INTEREST RESEARCH
GROUP REGARDING ECONOMIC ISSUES SURROUNDING MEDFLY ERADICATION:
To date, public concern has mainly been directed toward
whether or not malathion spraying has any health risks involved.
However, the cost to the community for these sprayings should be a
major concern Iat this time. The cost of eradicating far exceeds
the entire pesticide budget of the Department of Food &
Agriculture. The DFA is not even sure if the problem can be
eradicated inasmuch as there is no scientific evidence to prove
eradication.
The data used by DFA to explain the sprays is based on a
study that was conducted by the Giannini Institute during the
period of January 1981 -- March 1981. The seven & one-half percent
crop damage claimed by DFA is based on a 1981 report. They have
nothing more current to go on.
Based on data contained within a study conducted by
entomologists in 1978, the belief was that the only place in
California that a significant amount of medflies could survive was
in the Imperial Valley.
The DFA should take $50,000 from their budget and have a
current study conducted by independent scientists and entomologists
into the benefits and effects of malathion aerial spraying as well
as the present costs borne by the taxpayers.
Between 1981 and 1982, several scientists and
entomologists fought a two year battle opposing the excessive use
of pesticides in the environment --- exactly what is happening now.
The DFA is spending more on this one pest than we spend on all the
other twenty major pests in the State of California.
Biological control - The DFA could raise parasites of
the medfly as well as using sterile medflies to accomplish this.
If the DFA is insistent on spraying, they should determine what
trees are host trees and spray only those rather than entire
properties. An additional problem that has not been made known is
that farmers currently using parasites for other pests, will
eventually have their programs disrupted by the malathion spraying
and thus will lose a lot of money.
There is no proof that chemicals have ever eradicated
Pests. It is believed they only control them and if such is the
case, this does not have to be done by aerial spraying. With each
spraying, they are only able to get to a small percentage.
The DFA is using millions of dollars of taxpayers' money
without budget review or any say so from the community at large.
They do not need to do an ETR if they declare a state of emergency.
In this particular case, it is believed the DFA is trying to avoid
a cost -benefit analysis by representing that the problem is a state
of emergency. When a state of emergency is declared, it makes it
very difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to challenge legally.
Many individuals, elected officials and citizens alike,
have been working on pesticide issues for seven years which
resulted in the "Birth Control Act" which addressed the possible
pesticide hazards for pregnant women, especially those in the first
trimester of pregnancy. At that time, and in recent years, a lot
of pesticides that have been declared unsafe by the DFA, contained
none of the ten dangerous chemicals identified by DFA, and yet they
declared them unsafe and now they insist on spraying innocent
victims with a pesticide that has not even been properly
researched.
ISI SIDDIQUI, PH.D., ASSISTANT DIRECTOR - DIVISION OF PLANT
INDUSTRY, STATE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE - RESPONSE TO
ISSUES RAISED BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE:
(Referred to a map designating the targeted areas for
spraying, sterile fly releases, and sites where the medfly had been
trapped, as well as where the numerous traps presently in use, are
located.) There is a 383 square mile boundary for the aerial
spraying, which involves 13 specific areas. The release zone for
the sterile medflies is only one-half of the area designated for
aerial sprayings.
The factory in Hawaii began supplying 50 million sterile
medflies per week and is now producing 100 million per week. There
were 20 million per week released in Santa Clara where the problem
is nearly successful. By the end of April those sterile flies will
be brought down to Southern California and used here.
On 7/20/89, there was a medfly found at Dodger Stadium.
This was treated by one month of spraying and three months of
sterile releases, with the end result being successful. Then in
October of 1989, they began finding more medflies. At this point
in time, all sterile flies available have been used and we are not
able to cover all areas of infestation.
Traps are placed five traps per square mile in
residential areas. There are 25,000 traps currently being
monitored. These traps are checked every week. To date, there
have been 273 medflies found in these traps during 1989/90 in the
State of California. 25 of these 273 were in Santa Clara in
September of 1989. Every single medfly means 500 - 1,000 medflies
in the environment at or near that location. Sites of infestation
were Whittier, Baldwin Park, Verdugo Hills, Glendora, and Bassett.
Infested trees were also found near the traps. It looks like the
program of releasing sterile medflies has been successful in Santa
Clara. The medfly found on .2/13/90 in the City of Bassett, is
situated within a sterile releasing area. Between now and June of
1990, we should be able to cease aerial.sprayings.
It costs $60,000 - $100,000 for trap placement -- another
cost borne by taxpayers. The factory in Hawaii is trying to double
the production of sterile medflies. The factories have to be where
medflies are established and are presently operating in Hawaii and
Mexico. The factory in Hawaii was established in 1982. The
problem is that there is a need for a larger facility and the DFA
is now in the process of establishing a second lab that has already
received government approval.
INTERRUPTION BY ASSEMBLYMAN FRIEDMAN:
The DFA budget only authorizes $800,000 to be used on
research in the area of biological control of pests and yet, $38
million has been estimated for the aerial sprayings; with $6.8
million already spent from 11/89 to date.
Assemblyman Russe has current legislation pending which
we urge all Cities to support.
The DFA argues that malathion is a registered pesticide
and its use is justified because the medfly attacks more than 260
crops. However, were the public to purchase a pesticide containing
malathion, they would only be allowed to treat a targeted area, not
perform an aerial spraying on everybody in the area.
INTERRUPTION BY ASSEMBLYMAN TOM HAYDEN:
It has been brought to this Committee's attention that
the DFA is using state funds to participate with a political P.R.
firm to produce commercials for television. We believe this is a
waste of State money and State time and is an infraction. The
specific incident involves speeches made to the Dolphin Group and
information provided to them --- a political P.R. firm, funded by
DFA, and Assemblyman Hayden would like Chairman, Assemblyman
Friedman, to subpoena records to determine the extent of the
i
involvement of the DFA with this firm, to present false information
to the public at the expense of taxpayers.
Further, DFA insists that malathion is harmless to the
public and yet, in their own report, they state, "The droplets of
malathion bait are of a size that they are too large to infiltrate
the respiratory portion of the lungs. People should avoid
breathing the mist or exposing themselves directly to same."
DR. SIDDIQUI:
Medical doctors stated that it would be a safe and proper
measure to direct the public not to breathe or be exposed to the
mist. It was stated merely to minimize exposure. Malathion is a
pesticide containing toxins, like any other pesticide. The dose is
so minimal that DFA does not believe it to be a health hazard.
INTERRUPTION BY ASSEMBLYMAN HAYDEN:
Saying that no droplets should get in the lungs and don't
breath the mist or expose yourself to it, and on the other hand,
you are saying it is safe. That doesn't make sense.
INTERRUPTION BY ASSEMBLYMAN MOUNTJOY:
Did the DFA provide any testimony to the Dolphin Company
Group that has not been said at the numerous public hearings
regarding this issue.
DR. SIDDIQUI:
No. Based on the study in 1981 by Daniel Gault and
Barbara Anderson, we are trying to increase the SRD's (Sterile
release drops). The budget of the present facility is $40-0,000
per year. From 1982 - 1987, there was no fee since the lab was not
in use. In 1987, the cost went up.- Now it costs approximately
$750,000 on an annual basis to operate the facility.
ASSEMBLYMAN FRIEDMAN:
It is our belief that had the DFA not procrastinated and
had been concerned about public health, they would have maintained
the facility and would have had an adequate budget as well as an
adequate supply of sterile medflies in the facility at this time.
DR. SIDDIQUI:
Only the medfly and the Mexican fruit fly require aerial
spraying. The emergency program has only been used for these two
in the past ten years.
ASSEMBLYMAN FRIEDMAN:
The Apple Maggot Program was similar. There was a
successful lawsuit against the government requiring an EIR and to
direct the cost of the eradication program to the growers rather
than to the taxpayer who did not benefit from the program. We can
refer to the 1981/82 infestation problem and the "Bill Thomas
Amendment".
DR. SIDDIQUI:
The DFA believes that even if the State Legislators are
successful in stopping the Governor from spraying, the federal
government will take over and spray anyway. The Governor declares
a state of emergency based on the request of the local Board of
Supervisors which is reviewed every fourteen days, however, the
Governor's declaration could last indefinitely.
ASSEMBLYMAN FRIEDMAN:
How long can something be declared as an emergency and
who determines when it is no longer an emergency eradication but is
established. What happens if the problem is not gone this summer
or next fall, or next year. At what point does the overriding of
the SQUA EIR requirement become unavailable. What'are the plans of
DFA if the infestations are still here after June 1990.
DR. SIDDIQUI:
Believes that the Science Advisory Panel would reconvene
to discuss and determine the next steps to be taken at that time.
ASSEMBLYMAN FRIEDMAN:
Believes this Committee/Panel should be looking to the
future now and determining what should be done if the medfly is not
established by June as DFA is assuming at this point. They should
be ready with their alternatives now and not start discussing them
once the problem is noticed after June.
DR. SIDDIQUI:
The goal of the DFA is to have drops of 300, million
sterile flies per week by April or May of 1990. Mexico has not
proven to be a reliable source for the sterile medflies as they do
not ship regularly and they do not send the same number each week.
Quality assurance from DFA is closely monitoring the Mexican
facility at this time.
ASSEMBLYMAN FRIEDMAN:
Believes the DFA should re-evaluate their priorities.
Believes it is wrong to spend only $800,000 annually on biological
control methods and research and spend $38 million on eradication
of a single pest by the use of pesticides. We have fought for many
years and we need to control pesticide use all around for the sake
of our environment. This has long been understood.
Indicated he was curious if DFA had to bear the entire
cost of the $38 million instead of the taxpayers paying for
something they are against, especially those being subjected to the
spraying, would the aerial spraying program cease. Would the DFA
support us in requesting that the cost be borne mostly, if not
entirely, by the growers, and not the public.
MALCOLM FLEMING. LEGISLATIVE ANALYST - ADDRESSING CALIFORNIANS
EXPENDITURES ON VARIOUS METHODS OF PEST CONTROLS:
The following information is based on data obtained from
the University of California and from the Department of Food &
Agriculture.
$39 million allotted for various pest control research as
follows: a) 2% allocated for biological management; b) 8% for
integrated pest management; c) 48% for chemical pesticide
management; d) 29% for alternative pest control research; and e)
remainder for miscellaneous research in pest management.
AB2161 addresses funding for alternate pest control
research. No money from the DFA budget is allocated to research
biological eradication of pests.
In regard to Agricultural exports, we presently export
30% domestically and 30% abroad, of which 21% is exported to
Pacific Rim Countries, or 6% of the total amount exported. 1% - 5%
of exports are to Japan which is the Country that causes the State
concern over the medfly problem.
The DFA's pest regulation program funding is make up of
general funds primarily and registration and Department fees
collected make up only 35% of the funds used for this program.
]KENNETH HAGEN, PH.D. - BIOLOGICAL CONTROL DIVISION, COLLEGE OF
NATURAL RESOURCES, UC BERKELEY: (Entomologist)
Believes the medfly is established in the L. A. basin
area. Also, research leads them to believe that the medfly can
only persist along the coast from Santa Barbara to San Diego. In
1986 there were two medflies caught -- one in Santa Monica and one
in San Diego. In 1987 in Whittier; 1988 in Santa Monica --
eradicated. 1987 in Orange County there were a few medflies found
and now in 1989 these same areas are reinfested. Whittier, Downey
and Baldwin Park all had outbreaks in 1987 and the problem was said
to be eradicated and now in 1989 we have the problem reappearing in
these three areas. Due to this research entomologists believe
that the DFA needs to give two years before saying that the medfly
is totally eradicated. Believes that later this year we will see
major infestations along the coastline because it is believed there
are groups laying low at this time in those areas.
If both the aerial and the soil temperatures remain at
4.54 degrees centigrade/40 degrees fahrenheit, for 3 - 5 hours, it
would kill the larvae and that is what entomologists base the
belief on that the coast will be infested this year. Believes that
the present eradication result have been aided by the climate and
the colder winter. Should be taking more soil temperatures and
performing soil studies.
There would be no loss to the public if the aerial
spraying received a moratorium until further studies were taken, as
long as the ground spraying and other eradication measures are
proceeded with. Believes that much more of the public would be
willing to participate if this were studies properly and they were
more aware of all the issues. People tend to object more when kept
in the dark about issues of public concern as has been the case in
the malathion issue.
ROBERT LUCK, PH. D., DEPART OF ENTOMOLOGY - UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE:
Believes that ground applications of malathion along with
the sterile release drops is sufficient. 40 tons of malathion used
to date in the aerial sprayings. Even if there are no health
hazards, believes the 40 tons of malathion chemicals being dropped
from the air is an insult to the environment.
The best place to put the bait is where the attraction of
the medfly is. Most of the aerial droppings are remaining on
roofs, cars, on the outside surface of the trees and plants, on the
pavement, etc., rather than within the trees where the sap
develops, which is the food source for the medfly. Traps are not
very effective. Not only do the traps draw in the medfly, but they
also attract fruit flies and lots of other pests.
Integrated pest management or biological control would be
the best answer rather than using so many pesticides dropping from
the air.
The detection aspect for the medfly has to be worked on.
The ability of the current trap to detect the medfly is not
sufficient.
The sterile medfly release system is not accurate either.
Need to establish better quality control in this area. Sterile
medflies must be as alluring to the female as the wild medfly is.
We should e very familiar with the behavior of the medfly to
determine which steriles will work and which will not. There is
also a possibility of non-sterile ones passing through the current
system.
Entomologists are not convinced that this problem is
going to be over by June 1990. This season would be the slow
season for the medfly anyway and it will be very hard to detect the
actual problem.
The State should have people outside of entomology
(biologists, etc., ) to serve as uninvolved arbitrators as well as
broadening the Board to include different types of people. Should
have EIR statements which have gone through the process so that
there is a protocol in hand to serve as the best source of
information containing statements from all. Then a task force
could be formed to go over the problems cited in the EIR as is done
in most cases.
Malathion is killing ladybugs, honeybees and
nightcrawlers, which are all insects that provide protection
against other destructive pests. If you were able to find them in
your yard before, chances are you can't now, after being sprayed.
Therefore, we are now going to suffer a shortage of these necessary
insects.
Believes we use too many pesticides and we have been for
the past three decades. Would like to see more funding for
research into alternative methods of eradicating pests other then
with pesticides.
Entomologists are continually conducting research studies
into the malathion issue.
ASSEMBLYMAN FRIEDMAN:
Please keep this Subcommittee and the Legislature in
general, apprises of any findings in this area.
E. PHILLIP LEVEEN, PH.D., CONSULTING AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIST:
The costs of eradication are understated and the benefits
of such are overstated.
There are risks involved in the low altitude flying of
the helicopters as well as health risks involved.
The costs of property damage and prevention of property
damage are major expenses to the citizens, in addition to their
taxes that are paying for all of the actual aerial sprayings.
Some people have even expended costs in association with travel to
relocate themselves outside the targeted area due to health
problems which may be agitated by the sprayings.
To present the agricultural side of this issue: Our
Agricultural System is worth $800 million to $1 billion.
The State has twenty host crops that are exported. Roughly a $300
million strawberry crop. Grapes make up 30% of all crops exported.
Aside from our Citrus crops, the largest exported items are grapes,
strawberries and tomatoes, all of which are not medfly attractants.
Peaches and Apricots, which the medfly has been found in, only
account for 5% of exported crops. Japan receives mostly orange
crops. There is a misconception that Japan would no longer accept
exports from us should the medfly be a problem, however, in
reality, Japan would require the exported items to go through a
treatment process which would cost the State roughly 2% on top of
the usual export costs.
If the medfly were not eradicated, it is estimated that
this would result in a loss equal to seven and one-half percent
yield loss, which would most likely result in higher prices to the
consumer. This means that agriculture would benefit by gaining
money rather than losing money. The farmer still does not pay, the
consumer does. Believe that the growers should bear the costs of
the aerial sprayings inasmuch as they are the ones benefiting
financially from said sprayings. In this issue the taxpayer is
getting it all around as far as financially participating without
gaining any outright benefits.
It is believed that the only reasons why the farm and
agriculture people are all for the aerial sprayings is because they
are mis-informed and they are not bearing the costs of the program.
DARWIN HALL, PH.D., PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS - CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY, LONG BEACH:
Surveys should be conducted to determine from the urban
population the actual costs expended by them and then add those
sums to the total cost set forth by DFA and that will give a better
idea of the total cost of the eradication program.
DFA indicates that the ground application would cost much
more when in reality, if you combine the costs to the citizens to
protect their property, cars, etc., as well as any costs for
medical problems and car paint jobs, etc., the aerial spraying
costs and public costs combined, the amount would far exceed the
costs for ground applications.
Presently the general taxpayer pays for the malathion
spraying program. If the program is called control rather than
eradication, the farmers would be assessed a tax, as they are in
most pest control measures, which would pay for the aerial
sprayings. Also, would like to see the taxes collected for this
pesticides to be used for research into pesticide uses.
The mil tax was raised to 9 mil last year, for the first
time since 1970.
PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE:
Resident of North Hollywood, representing several residents of
North Hollywood indicated that the citizens do not want to be
sprayed and they believe that the credibility of the program has
worn itself out. Many people are moving out of the spray zone,
which is effecting real estate values. Business and restaurants
are not doing the business they used to. There are people that
have no where to go during the spraying, for example, the homeless.
Some of these homeless people are small children and babies, as
well as pregnant women and the elderly. What about them? Believes
that if the State insists on continuing the aerial sprayings, they
should also provide shelters for those that are homeless and must
find shelter within the spray zone at the times of spraying. This
is not a positive within the community.
Mother of three children indicated that her son has a history of
asthma which has been controlled with medication and medical
treatment until the sprayings began. Doctor believes, although not
certain, due to the amount of research done, that the malathion
sprayings are causing irritation to this boy's already sensitive
system. Doctor also indicated the possibility that pre --school
children who play on playground equipment after a spraying and then
placing their hands in their mouths, unless the equipment has been
completely and thoroughly cleaned, may show some symptoms from the
chemicals used in the malathion, just as they would in any
pesticide. Believes that as long as she is a taxpayer who is
paying for the aerial sprayings, that the State should pay for any
medical costs incurred because of the spraying exacerbating her
son's sensitive condition, as well as provide funding to remove
people such as her son from the spraying areas.
Mother - 43rd District - Her child's preschool has begun to charge
an additional $5 per month per child to tent the playground
equipment during sprayings. They have purchased tons of plastic
which goes back into the environment after chemicals are dropped on
it; and at the same time, we are pushing recycling and urging
people to be concerned about their environment. It takes two
people, 4 - 5 hours per day, to do the tenting of the playground
equipment. MOMS (Mothers Opposed To Malathion Spraying) have
organized a boycott against all Dolphin Corp. products.
State Department of Water/Power unit manager indicated .that studies
have been conducted which have determined that the water usage
within a targeted area increased nearly 5 times the day following
a spraying. This contradicts our advisement that we are suffering
a severe drought and need to conserve water.
Beverly Hills MF'CSW - tourism to California has been down since the
sprayings began, along with all the news coverage about them.
California is becoming a place not to live nor to visit. Surveys
taken at Disneyland and other tourist attractions indicate a
decline in visitors since the spraying began late 1989.
President of Seniors For Political Action - Believes the elderly
have suffered respiratory problems due to the malathion spraying
combined with their already sensitive systems, due to age.
Concerned that sprayings begin at 9 p.m. which is the same time
most shopping malls close, meaning that shoppers are running to
their cars as though they were running under bombs. Situation
reminds him of the DDT problem. Says he believes the only person
salivating at the sound of helicopters is Earl Scheib.
North Hollywood resident feels that the Senate needs to divide the
Agriculture and Water Committee inasmuch as the agriculture is the
biggest pollutant of the water. Research should be done to
determine what dangers, if any, may result from the combination of
the malathion chemicals with our air (smog, etc.) since reports
have shown that malathion spraying is not to be done when it is

Dear Parents,
The full California Senate is meeting on Monday,
March 5th, to vote on the reconfirmation of Henry
Voss as the Director of the Food and Agriculture
Department.
Mr. Voss is a Peach Farmer. He is a proponent of
aerial Malathion spraying. Can he be expected to
be unbiased given his long time ties to the Agri -
Business Community? Mr. Voss refuses to give merit
to the many professionals who have deemed the
eradication program a health hazard to the general
populace. He refuses to accept the probability that
this program is ineffective.
YOU can help sway their vote by taking 15 minutes
to call the Senators listed on the following page
and read the statement at the top. It is imperative
that these call are made by this Friday, March 2nd.
YOUR CALL WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

HAYDEN PROPOSES NEW LEGISLATION TO CURB
SAFETY ABUSES OF AERIAL MALATHION SPARYINGS
Assemblyman TOM Hayden (D - West Los Angeles) announced today
that he will introduce new legislation requiring the state to
take increased safety precautions in the use of malathion and
other pesticides. Hayden announced his intention at a special
hearing of the Assembly Ways and Means subcommittee on Health and
Welfare held in Van guys to explore the safety issues surrounding
malathion use.
Hayden's proposal includes measures to:
o End the abuse of the Emergency Services Act by state
agencies to justify extensive malathion sprayings.
o Require the adoption of more specific health standards.
o Shift the cost of aerial malathion spraying to the
industries that benefit from it.
0 Transfer authority over pesticide safety from the
Department of Food and Agriculture to the Department of
Health Services.
Hayden made the following statement at the hearing:
The Medfl.y crisis is obviously no longer simply a debate over how
to protect human health and California agriculture. It has
become a breakdown of governance.

The crisis is rooted in a system of arbitrary and aloof executive
power in Sacramento which allows the Governor and his agencies to
impose aerial, spraying on an urban population that lacks
confidence in what they are told and feels powerless to act
effectively to protect their health.
This crisis cannot be resolved by the public relations campaign
sponsored by government and agriculture officials. when
government itself advises, in its own words, that people "avoid
direct exposure to the spray mist during and after aerial
spraying" government sows the seeds of a permanent distrust more
usually found in an Orwellian, authoritarian state.
When a majority opposes aerial spraying, when virtually every
Southern California government is protesting or suing the state
and still the spraying continues, it is clear that the
checks -and -balances crucial to democracy have broken down and
must be restored.
The central problem is the existence of a self-perpetuating
pesticide -industrial complex in Sacramento whose Pentagor. is the
Department of Food and Agriculture.
The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 (the "Big Green"
initiative) is designed to make this self-regQlated bureaucracy
more accountable. in response, agribusiness is proposing its own
initiative which essentially protects the existing bureaucracy
from any change whatsoever.
But the people of Los Angeles and orange Counties cannot wait for
an initiative to pass in November. That is why the legislature
must act now, using its budgeting and oversight authority to
reverse the policies that are making helicopter spraying a
permanent way of life.
While supporting the measures already offered by my legislative
colleagues, 1 intend to offer legislation or budget language
which Will do the following:
1. End the abuse of the Emergency Services Act by requiring a
review of aerial spraying in the framework of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), The medfly issue is not a
sudden and unexpected emergency requiring instant curtailment of
routine procedures for assuring environmental and health
protection. The crisis has been with us a decade, and will
continue. The Emergency Services Act has become a tool for
blocking any reasonable input by elected officials, health and
environmental experts and local constituency representatives in
the decision-making process.

2. Adopt more specific health standards based on independent

commingled with other chemicals in the air and water. The
Science Advisory Panel must be made credible by the inclusion of

integrated pest management and biological pest control should be
tripled immediately. {The science panel includes five
individuals already committed to aerial spraying, and the state°s
research on alternatives has remained essentially flat for five
years at around $1,5 million,}
3. Shift the cost of aerial malathion spraying From taxpayers to
the inch ustries that benefzt'by at I -ems ag cultural .

estimated 1989-90 taxpayer cost for spraying is $30 million,
There is little incentive for industry to seek alternatives if
the bill for unlimited spraying can be sent to the taxpayer.
4. As the Environmtentai protection Initiative proposes,
authority over pesticides should transferred from the Department
Of Food and Agriculture to the Department of Healtb Services
operating under tough new health -based standards. It is a
conflict-of-interest in public perception and plain fact - for
the Department of Food and Agriculture to have the mandate of
regulating the safety of the very pesticides it promotes.
The question today is not just whether malathion is safe. It is
whether the public interest is safe from an abuse of power that
seems flagrantly old-fashioned in this era of citizen
participation.

FISCAL ISSUES RELATING TO MEDFLY SPRAYING
IN LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTIES
Assembly Ways and Deans Subcommittee on Health and Welfare

Van Nuys, California
INTRODUCTION
According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture
(CDFA), agriculture in California annually constitutes a
$69.2 billion industry. Even after considering such important
contributors to California's economy as "high tech" computer and
microelectronics, tourism, and the entertainment industry,
agriculture is still the state's biggest business.
The state works hard to protect this business and ensure its
competitiveness in a world economy. This. includes General
Fund -supported programs to promote California agriculture
overseas, the delivery of subsidized water to growers, zealous
control over the regulation of pesticides -- and the exercise of
emergency powers to eradicate exotic pests deemed to represent a
serious threat to California's number one industry.
in the eyes of farmers and the CDFA, some of the most threatening
pests are the exotic fruit flies -- the Mediterranean fruit fly
and its Oriental and Mexican counterparts. According to the
department, by the end of this fiscal year, the state and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will have jointly spent (on
a 50/50 basis) approximately $137 million in efforts to eradicate
the Mediterranean fruit fly (the "Medfly") over the past decade.
Of this amount, $100 million was spent during 1980-1982 in Santa
Clara County and the Los Angeles Basin; $2.5 million was spent in
Los Angeles County during infestations in 1987 and 1988; and by
the end of the current fiscal year, the programs in Santa Clara,
San Bernadino, Los Angeles and Orange Counties will have cost
between $28 and $30 million. The state's share of these
eradication costs has come entirely from the General Fund, which
receives general income and business tax revenues.
The 'Medfly is not the only pest the CDFA has attempted to
eradicate in California. Over the past ten years the department,
working with the U.S.D.A. and county agricultural commissioners,
has conducted a number of eradication programs to rid the state
of newly introduced exotic pests. while two of these efforts, an
eradication program against, the Japanese beetle in Sacramento
County and a project against the apple maggot on the north coast,
-1-
have given rise to substantial controversy, it is the large scale
programs against the fruit flies that have generated the most
widespread public concern.
HOW HAS ERADICATION BEEN CARRIED OUT?
The current Medfly eradication program began in 1989, when a
Medfly was trapped near Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on July 20.
Intensified trapping caught 40 more flies over the next few days.
On the advice of its five -member Medfly Science Advisory Panel
(SAP), the department began an eradication program consisting of
a single aerial application of malathion bait, followed by
release of sterile flies for two Medfly generations. This type
of program is considered "integrated pest management", because .it
relies on a combination of pesticides to kill adult flies,
followed by a form of biological control -- the release of
sterile flies to thwart the reproduction of subsequent
generations of flies. This program was completed in September.
In August and September, additional flies were trapped in Santa
Clara County, and in several areas in Los Angeles and San
Bernadino Counties. The department began eradication using the
program described above. However, beginning on October 25, flies
were trapped in widely scattered locations throughout the
Los Angeles and Orange County areas. To date there are 13
separate treatment locations (Sylmar, North Hollywood, Panorama
City, Rosemead/Monrovia, Eagle Rock/South Pasadena, Brea/La
Habra, South Gate, Glendora, Downey/Norwalk, Irwindale, Verdugo
Hills, Garden Grove, and Pomona).
Unfortunately, the supply of sterile Medflies was not sufficient
to accommodate all the areas requiring treatment. At the current
time, the CDFA can obtain at most between 120-140 million sterile
flies each week: 100 million weekly from a USDA/CDFA laboratory
in Hawaii, and another 20-40 million weekly (but irregularly)
from Mexico. In addition, the quality of the flies from Mexico
has been spotty.
Sometime this summer, the supply of sterile flies is expected to
be greatly increased when construction of a new USDA laboratory
in Hawaii is completed.
In the near term, however, faced with this new outbreak and
insufficient sterile flies to expand the current program, the
department reconvened its SAP in early December to obtain
recommendations for the conduct of the program. The SAP
recommended that those areas already receiving sterile flies
(Baldwin Park/Valinda, Whittier, Upland, and Mountain View)
should continue to receive the sterile flies, but that all other
areas should be treated with multiple aerial applications of
malathion bait mixture through two Medfly life cycles.
-2-
'kdoption of this policy has meant that each of the more recently
infested. areas has been sprayed once.every three weeks since
December. The department plans to continue this practice through
March. In April and May, as the weather warms, sprays will, occur
once every other week, and in June the frequency will increase to
about once a week. Ultimately, each area subject to the program
is scheduled to receive 8-12 spray applications.
HEALTH QUESTIONS PERSIST
The amounts of pesticide that are sprayed are not large -- an
average of 2.4 to 2.8 ounces of malathion per acre, mixed with a
sticky corn syrup to bait the flies. But urban residents have
serious concerns about the impact the spray may have on their
health and that of their families. while state health officials
believe the program is safe, public concern deepened after it was
reported that not all questions about the safety of the pesticide
have been conclusively answered.
For example, both state and federal Environmental Protection
Agency records show that data gaps exist in the malathion safety
record. And Dr. Marc Lappe, one of the state's experts who
worked on the malathion assessment, has stated that he does not
view the State Department of Health Services' final report on
malathion's long-term health effects as presenting a complete
picture, because the department altered some of his draft
assumptions and findings.
Between January 25 and February 23, five legal challenges to the
program were filed. The Cities of Garden Grove and Huntington
Beach sought restraining orders to prohibit aerial spraying, and
the City of Pomona sought a temporary restraining order (TRO).
Both restraining orders and writ -of -mandates were denied. A TRO
sought by the Orange County Legal Aid Society on behalf of the
homeless was denied, although a full hearing is scheduled for
February 27. The fourth challenge was filed in federal district
court on February 23 by the Natural Resources Defense Council and
other environmental groups, enjoining CDFA from further spraying
until the court has examined whether or not the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) had been adequately addressed
under the emergency powers exercised by the department.
In addition, the City of Pasadena adopted an urgency ordinance
prohibiting formation flying by helicopters below 700 feet. This
action was aimed directly at procedures used by the state's
helicopters, which spray malathion bait from about 500 feet. On
the night of February 23, city police ascended in their
helicopters to intercept the CDFA helicopters spraying over the
city, informing them they were in violation of the new city
ordinance. The CDFA pilots politely acknowledged the
transmission -- and continued with the spraying.
-3-
Orange County Supervisors are also exploring legislative options
to prevent CDFA from pursuing spray eradication. County staff
have identified a number of areas of legislative appeal, which
are currently under review by the Supervisors.
FISCAL ISSUES RELATING TO PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION
The administration of this program has given rise to a number of
important fiscal questions. These include the following:
1. Does the fly present such overwhelming risks to California
agriculture, and to Californians in general, that it is fair
to continue vith a program that imposes virtually all of its
costs on urban residents, and distributes most of its
benefits to the agricultural industry?
To date, urban residents have born the full costs of this program
in every sense. First, the entire cost of the state's
contribution has been borne by the General Fund. Second, it is
urban residents who have suffered the imposition of helicopters
droning overhead, spraying their houses, cars and yards with a
sticky brew of fly bait and pesticide. Third -- and most
Important for most urban residents -- they bear the utterly
incalculable costs associated with wondering if their exposure to
malathion will cause acute or chronic health effects for
themselves and their families.
What benefits do these people receive from this -program? The
CDFA argues that, "Allowing Medfly permanent residency in
California would have a devastating impact on every citizen in
the State."I The department believes that pesticide use by
farmers and backyard growers would increase dramatically,
heightening concerns about human exposure to chemicals and
threatening the environment. Furthermore, beneficial insects
such as ladybugs and honey bees would be killed, causing
secondary pest outbreaks, more crop losses -- and more pesticide
use.
CDFA argues that avoiding these impacts represents a significant
benefit to urban residents, and justifies the eradication spray
program. But the department also believes there are significant
benefits to the agricultural industry from continuing the
program.
According to the CDFA, there are approximately 150 different
crops in California which could become hosts to the Medfly. The
total annual value of these crops is estimated at $5 billion.
I CDFA. hedfly Eradication Program and Safety of Malathion,
December 15, 1989, p.l.
-4-
A 1981 study published by the University of California
Cooperative Extension and Giannini Foundation estimated that the
total annual cost to California agriculture if Medfly became
established could range between $316 million and $756 million
for recurring expenses such as extra insecticide applications,
crop losses, lost value to commodities damaged by quarantine
compliance, fumigation, cold storage and increased
transportation. The cost of constructing fumigation, cold
storage and upgraded packing and shipping facilities would add
another $55 million to these estimates on a one-time basis.
It is in part these estimates which CDFA has used to justify the
urban spray program. Recently, however, critics have charged
that these costs may be overstated. Economists point out that
the 1981 study is based on unrealistic, worst-case assumptions.
For example, the study assumes that all potential crops would be
equally affected. in fact, it is more likely that some crops
would be seriously affected, some marginally, and some, not at
all. These and other worst-case assumptions mean that the true
costs of Medfly permanent infestation could be far less --
perhaps less than the $28 - $30 million estimate of total
eradication costs during the 1989-90 fiscal year.
What is significant, however, is that the agricultural community
clearly stands to benefit greatly if eradication is successful ---
yet contributes no greater financial support to the eradication
program on a relative basis than the average taxpayer. This
.imbalance suggests a fundamental inequity.
Suggested Action: The Governor and the Legislature should
immediately fund a new study of the economic impacts the Medfly
could have if it becomes established in California.
2. Can the Medfly be eradicated? Or has the fly already become
established in some areas of California? If so, can
California learn to live with the -fly?
Until the most recent Medfly infestation, it was widely believed
that the various eradication projects carried out over the past
decade were successful, and that each new reappearance of the fly
was a result of its reintroduction into the state from other
areas where it is an established pest.
While CDFA and its panel of Medfly experts state that some
aspects of the present fly infestation are puzzling,2 they remain
confident that the eradication effort will be successful.
21bid, p.3.
-5-
The present infestation has spread in such unexpected ways,
however, and over such a wide area that some entomologists are
now beginning to question whether the Medfly can be eradicated.
It may have become established in such a thorough fashion that
eradication efforts will ultimately prove unsuccessful. If that
proves true, some experts say the state should begin to actively
plan for the permanent presence of the Medfly and how the state's
agricultural industry can cope with it.
If these scientists are correct, the state's current eradication
effort may prove to be a costly mistake. The money spent on
full-scale eradication could perhaps have been more profitably
invested. into research on such poorly understood issues as the
fly's behavior in a climate like California's, predators, and
other avenues of biological pest control. This research is
critical if California is to avoid the kind of pesticide overkill
CDFA fears will occur if the pest has become established.
To some extent, the experience of other areas where the Medfly
has become established (Spain, Israel, Northern Africa) may prove
helpful in charting the path California must follow. (It should
be noted, however, that comparisons are difficult between other
agricultural exporters and California. No other agricultural
exporting state or nation matches the volume and variety of
California, whose $69.2 billion annual agricultural economy
supplies much of the United States and exports to many parts of
the world.)
Given the intense level of concern among urban residents about
the spray eradication program, it seems imperative that the
fundamental question of whether the Medfly is in fact eradicable
be answered as quickly and conclusively as current scientific
knowledge will allow. As noted above, the department's Science
Advisory Panel believes that it can be eradicated, and, in the
absence of a greater supply of sterile flies, recommended the
current spray program. However, while the five -member panel is
extremely knowledgeable about the Medfly, it does not include one
entomologist whose primary research focus is biological methods
of pest control.
Suggested Action: The Governor should require the Department of
Food and Agriculture to immediately reorganize the panel to
include equal representation from experts on pest biological
control, and seek new recommendations regarding ways to attack
Medfly infestations in areas currently not being treated with
releases of sterile Medflies.
3. Should assessments be imposed on the agricultural industry to
share in the costs of eradicating or controlling the pest?
CDFA has for years maintained an unwritten policy of requiring
pest control programs to be partially or wholly funded by the
sector of the agricultural community which benefits from the
-6-
programs. in certain cases (apiary pests, the cotton pink
bollworm, the cotton boll weevil, and the curly top virus), laws
have been passed requiring the growers to form districts, assess
fees on themselves, and assume a full or partial share of the
control program costs.
This has not been true of eradication programs, which are deemed
to be of such broad societal benefit that full support by the
General Fund is justified.
As noted above, by the end of this fiscal year, approximately
$137 million (half from the General Fund, half from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture) will have been spent in California in
efforts to eradicate the Medfly. But if the department and its
Medfly advisory panel determined that the Medfly had already
become established, precedent would require that the growers of
some or all of the 150 types of crops identified as potential
Medfly hosts should be assessed fees to help pay the costs of
this program.
However, even if the department and the advisory panel continue
to argue that eradication is possible, the Legislature may wish
to redress the imbalances inherent in the current program, by
requiring cost sharing by the benefiting industry.
Should cost-sharing occur, one wonders what the reaction of the
agricultural community would be to the current program. For
example, would they decide that the current eradication program
is too expensive? Would they argue for more and better research
into alternatives to broadcast spraying? Would they support
increases in the department's budget for research on biological
control methods and integrated pest management -- and be willing
to help pay for that research with their fees?
The example of the apple maggot infestation in California's
northwest counties is illustrative. In 1984, trapping of apple
maggot flies caused commercial growers of all "pome" (pitted)
fruits to become extremely concerned about the possibility of
infestations. While growers could treat their orchards
chemically, a primary concern was that Japan and other nations
would embargo California fruit. They urged the state to act
quickly to eradicate the pest.
During the period 1984 through 1988, the state spent
approximately $7.5 million from the General Fund in eradication
efforts. In this case, eradication meant primarily that the
state sent workers to strip all fruit off backyard trees and
spray the ground, and growers sprayed their own commercial
orchards. However, the CDFA's Apple Maggot Science Advisory
Panel determined that, because Oregon and Washington had adopted
a learn--to-live-with-it approach, eradication was impossible
because reinfestation across the California/Oregon border would
-7-
continually occur. Because of the continual possibility of
reinfestation, the panel concluded that the CDFA program was not
truly eradication, but rather one of control.
After this finding by the advisory panel, the legislative budget
committees refused to consider any further appropriations for or
control until the pome fruit industry developed assessment fees
to help pay program costs. To date, the industry -- which
strongly supported the state's use of General Fund revenues to
strip private homeowners backyard trees and spray their yards --
has been unable to agree on an assessment method. Consequently,
control programs are now practiced by each individual grower, and
internalised as one pore cost of production. No embargo of
California fruit has occurred.
Suggested action: Urgency
introduced which establishes
growers of crops susceptible

4. Has California committed

legislation should immediately be
a method of assessing fees on
to Medfly infestation, and requires
at least 50 percent of the cost of
programs, including research into
sufficient resources to biological
For years critics of CDFA and California agriculture have argued
that support for research on integrated pest management and
biological pest control has been inadequate. The Governor's
budget bears this out. For fiscal year 1990-91, it proposes a
total of $38.4 million for pesticide regulation and research.
The bulk of this appropriation comes from the General Fund
($23.4 million) and the Agriculture Fund ($12.3 million -
primarily pesticide mil tax).
By comparison, the budget devotes approximately $720,000 to
research on integrated pest management, and $811,000 for
biological pest control. These appropriations are primarily from
the General Fund, supplemented to a modest degree by federal
funds. Funding for these programs has been virtually flat over
the past five years, in spite of agriculture's concerns over
infestations of exotic pests such as the fruit flies, the
Japanese beetle, and the apple maggot.
Additional funding for integrated pest management and biological
pest control is found in the budget for the University of
California. However, according to Don Dahlston, director of the
UC Berkeley Biological Pest Control Division, funding provided by
the University is sufficient to pay salaries, and practically
nothing else. Research funds must be sought from other sources.
The heavy price currently being paid by urban residents of Los
Angeles and Orange Counties to eradicate the Medfly could well be
an indirect result of the state's perennial starving of these
IM
critical alternative pest control programs. For example, greater
emphasis on integrated or biological methods of controlling the
Medfly and other pests could have led to the use of alternative
methods of control when the supply of sterile medflies gave out.
But additional funding is not the only answer. Experts in these
alternative methods of pest control should be formed into an
advisory group, with representatives from farming groups, and
should provide the department and the University of California
with a list of research priorities.
Suggested Actions Either through legislation or through the
budget, the CDFA should be directed to immediately form an
advisory group, consisting of experts. on integrated and
biological pest control methods and farmers. In addition,
funding for integrated pest management and biological pest
control should immediately be increased, according to the
recommendations of this newly -formed group.

The City Council of the City of Azusa strongly urges the City of
Diamond Bar to adopt an Ordinance regulating formation flying at
low altitudes within your city boundaries, thereby eliminating
malathion spraying in Southern California.
As you know, helicopters flying in formation at low altitudes
currently perform aerial spraying and, as such, is imminently
dangerous to persons and property below. Considering this task
is performed at night, the potential for an accident increases
with each spraying. In addition, long term effects to the health
of the residents of the State of California has yet to be studied
fully, and, until such time, malathion spraying must cease.
Although the Ordinance is difficult to enforce, all cities must
unite and urge the Governor to cease the spraying of malathion
until it has been proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, not to
jeopardize the health of the people of this State.
Once again, the City Council of the City of Azusa strongly urges
you to take action against malathion spraying by adopting a
similar ordinance.

As you know, the Azusa City Council is taking a lead in its
attempt to stop malathion spraying within its City limits, and
hopefully throughout the State -of California.
In so doing, not only has the City adopted an Ordinance
prohibiting formation flying within the City limits, but we have
also authorized our City Attorney to file, in Federal court, a
suit against the State of California for violation of pesticide
and aviation regulations.
Now its time for us to go one step further. I feel it is
important for the San Gabriel Cities to write and send a message
to Governor Duekmejian. Therefore, I am asking your City to join
with me in -sending a representative to Sacramento protesting the
spraying. Further, I have- sent a letter to the League of
California Cities asking them to spearhead this project to
include all cities throughout the State..
If your City is interested, please contact the League and send \

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF AZUSA ADDING CHAPTER 8.65
TO THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING
FLYING IN FORMATION AT LOW ALTITUDES OVER
THE CITY OF AZUSA AND DECLARING THE
URGENCY THEREOF
WHEREAS, within the last month helicopters have
been flying in formation at low altitudes over the City of
Azusa to perform aerial spraying; and
WHEREAS, such low formation flying has resulted in
tremendous noise and disturbance to the citizens of Azusa;
and
WHEREAS, noise levels generated by formation flying
at low altitudes has resulted in harm to persons and
property, as such harm has been testified to before the City
Council; and
WHEREAS, the harm from such noise levels is in
addition to that which may be caused by aerial spraying; and
WHEREAS, formation flying at night at low altitudes
is imminently dangerous to persons and property lawfully
below the aircraft -because of the increased likelihood of an
accident from attempting to avoid flight path obstructions
while remaining in formation; and
WHEREAS, the City has been unable otherwise to halt
such formation flying at low levels; and
WHEREAS, the City is a party to the State Master
Mutual Aid Agreement and has the ability to take certain
actions and coordinate with the state even when an alleged
"state of emergency" has been declared by the Governor of
the State of California; and
WHEREAS, this is an urgency ordinance needed for
the immediate preservation of public health and safety in
that the noise and potential for accident is on-going and
increasing absent intervention by the City immediately.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of
Azusa does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 8.65 hereby is added to the
Azusa Municipal Code to read as follows:
Chapter 8.65
Low Flying in Formation
Section 8.65.010. It shall be unlawful
to engage in formation flying at
altitudes of 700 feet or less over the
City of Azusa between one half hour after
sunset and one half hour before sunrise
without the prior written consent of the
City Council after a public hearing on
1RD2054
such issue duly noticed and conducted by
the Council.
Section 8.65.020. A violation of this
ordinance shall be a misdemeanor,
punishable as set out in the Azusa
Municipal Code and each pilot flying in
formation shall be guilty of a separate
offense. Each such separate passage or
flight over Azusa (whether or not
sequential in time) in violation of this
ordinance shall be determined to be a
separate and distinct violation of and
offense hereunder.
Section 8.65.030. Sections 8.65.010 and
8.65.020 shall terminate and be of no
force and effect one year from the date
of their adoption.
Section 2. Urgency. This is an urgency ordinance
pursuant to Government Code Section 36934 and 36937 whose
immediate enactment is necessary for the immediate
preservation of public peace, health, safety and general
welfare and shall be effective immediately. The facts
constituting the need for such an urgency ordinance are that
the City repeatedly has tried to stop such flying in
formation over the City by attempting to contact and
negotiate with state representatives; despite the best
efforts of the City Council and staff such formation flying
and the resulting noise and harm continue and may
escalate. Therefore, it is necessary for this ordinance to
become effective immediately in order to prevent additional
harm to persons and property within the City.

Dear Mayor Papen:
March 8, 1990
Suite 330
The City Council for the City of Bell has adopted the
attached resolution insisting that the State adopt urgency
legislation repealing Section 11501.1 of the Food and
Agriculture Code.
We are very concerned that the aerial spraying of
malathion is not the most economical method of attacking
the medfly problem and that aerial spraying is a very
ineffective system of attacking the medfly problem_
Obviously, the aerial spraying system has had poor results
in the elimination of the medfly larvae in the Los Angeles
Metropolitan Area, considering the amount of aerial
spraying that has been conducted.
If you need additional information regarding the
City's policy position, please contact John Bramble our
Chief Administrative Officer at (213) 588-6211.
Sincerely,
Ray Johnson

RESOLUTION NO. 90-9
A RESOLUTION OF THE BELL CITY COUNCIL
SUPPORTING THE ACTIONS OF OTHER CITIES
IN LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTIES AND
CONDEMNING THE AERIAL APPLICATION OF
MALATHION INSECTICIDE IN LOS ANGELES
AND OTHER COUNTIES
WHEREAS, the frequency of aerial spraying of
malathion insecticide over various parts of Los Angeles
and Orange Counties has increased dramatically as State
and County health officials attempt to eliminate the
presence of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Medfly) from
the area; and
WHEREAS, the increase in aerial spraying necessitates
an official determination regarding the questionable short
and long-term health and environmental effects resulting
from repeated application of the insecticide; and
WHEREAS, because existing State law preempts local
regulation of the use of economic poisons, thereby severely
restricting the ability of local governments to responsibly
protect the health, safety and welfare of their residents
from the dangers of chemical pesticides; and
WHEREAS, existing State law provides inadequate time
and opportunity to local governments to challenge the
decision of the Director of Food and Agriculture with respect
to pest eradication projects; and
WHEREAS, numerous cities in the Los Angeles Metropolitan
Area have voiced their concerns regarding the safety of
spraying malathion and asked that the spraying be postponed
until it is proven safe to persons and the environment;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BELL CITY COUNCIL HEREBY RESOLVES
AS FOLLOWS:
I. That all aerial malathion applications be
postponed until independent reliable analyses have shown
conclusively that the widespread, aerial application of
malathion is not hazardous to the health of humans nor to
the environment generally.
2. That alternatives to aerial malathion spraying be
immediately implemented, e.g., ground application of
malathion and/or more extensive use of sterile medflys.
3. That State and County health officials begin a
comprehensive public education program to increase public
understanding of this and related issues.
A
4. That the State legislature adopt urgency
legislation repealing Food and Agriculture Code Section
11501.1, which prohibits local regulation of the use of
economic poisons.
5. That the State legislature adopt urgency
legislation granting to local government the authority to
prohibit aerial spraying of any economic poison, including
Malathion, within its boundaries.
6. That the provisions of Food and Agriculture Code
Sections 5051-52 be amended to permit challenges to the
decisions of the Director of Food and Agriculture throughout
any portion of an active pest eradication project.
7. Resolved further that the City Clerk is directed
to forward copies of this resolution to the appropriate
State legislators and/or officials, Mayors of the
surrounding cities and the League of California Cities.

ASSEMBLYMAN TERRY FRIEDMAN PROPOSES HOLDING HOSTAGE
DEPARTMENT F FOOD AND AG'S PESTICIDE BUDGET
IN AN EFFORT TO STOP MEDFLY ERADICATION PROGRAM
Assemblyman Terry Friedman, D -Los Angeles, today proposed
holding hostage the state Department of Food and Agriculture's
Pesticide Registration Budget in an effort to pressure the
department into stopping the medfly eradication program of aerial
spraying in Southern California.
Under Friedman's proposal, no new pesticides could be
registered in California by the Department until the following
changes took place:
- the Department stops its medfly eradication program and
immediately moves to more "human -friendly" control programs;
- the Department commits to a significant expansion of
biological pest control programs; and
- the Department reorganizes its Medfly Science Advisory
Panel to include equal representation from scientific experts on
biological control.
"By holding the pesticide budget hostage, we hope to pressure
the department into changing its pest control approach to
something that is human -friendly and environmentally sensitive,"
said Friedman. "Before we register any new pesticides we want to
see a major shift toward biological control."

"The Department has starved alternative pest control programs,
spending over $30 million on pesticide regulation and research
every year and less than 3% of that amount ($800,000) on
biocontrol methods. While serious health questions persist, the
Department's long-term bias toward pesticides is a key reason why
they aren't offering any alternatives to this drastic aerial
spraying program. The state has had repeated medfly infestations
during the past decade giving the Department plenty of warning,
yet they have refused to invest practically anything to develop
alternatives to spraying pesticides in populated areas."
The Governor's budget for next year proposes $38 million for
pesticide regulation and research, but devotes only $811,000 for
biological pest control, and approximately $720,000 to research
on integrated pest management, in a pesticide -biased funding
pattern that has persisted for at least the past five years.
The 5 -member scientific panel, which has recommended the
current aerial spraying, does not include a single entomologist
whose primary research focus is biological methods of pest
control.
Friedman also proposed that the Legislature contract to do an
independent economic study showing the true costs if the medfly
were to become established in California.
Friedman is a member of the key Assembly budget committee,
Ways and Means, and is chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee
on Health and Human Services which held a public hearing today in
Van Nuys to explore the medfly eradication program versus
implementing a control strategy, whether the state should shift
funding from eradication to other strategies, and why there is a
3-3-3
The hearing topics included:
* Can the medfly be eradicated?
* How much will the medfly cost growers if it becomes
established?
* How much does California spend on alternatives to pesticide
use? Should we spend more?

CONCERNING THE POSSIBLE HUMAN Hr:&uin nat RDS AW OFI'FS F SBSAN CNAPKIS
OF APPLYING FLY BAIT
CONTAINING 2.4 OUNCES OF MALATHION PER ACRE
OVER POPULATED AREAS
by
California Department of Health Services
and
California Department of Food and Agriculture
HS -826 (December 16, 1980)
SUMMARY
An assessment has been made of the health risks associated with the pro-
posed aerial application of malathion in Santa Clara County using all
available sources of information. Malathion's low level of acute toxicity
precludes the possibility of acute toxic effects from the amounts to be
applied (2.4 ounces per acre) unless unforeseen accidents occur or high
levels of impurities are present in the spray mixture.
Animal studies and short term in vitro tests have shown no results that
meet the criteria for evidence of mutagenesis or mammalian teratogenesis.
A standard National Cancer Institute bioassay was reported as negative for
carcinogenesis. This interpretation has been called into question in an
uncorroborated report by a single investigator.
Taking the premise that malathion may be carcinogenic and using conserva-
tive, (i.e., health -biased) assumptions and extreme "worst-case" examples
the risk of cancer from the malathion applications in the exposed Santa
Clara County population has been estimated and found to be insignificant.
The greatest health risk may come from the large, low-flying planes and
the possibility of a crash in an urban area.
The degree of public concern over possible effects of the aerial spraying
program is a major factor in the situation. The people of Santa Clara
County should be fully informed and arrangements made to answer their
questions.
RECOK,IENDATIONS
1. Maximum effort should be made to inform the public of the details of
the operation and to invite and answer questions. This should include
the development of a careful risk/benefit evaluation with input from
appropriate authorities in both health and environmental protection.
2. The public should be kept informed by widespread use of the media
concerning the times of aerial application and the use of appropriate
precautions including the protection of fish ponds, domestic bees and
automobiles as well as the avoidance of unnecessary human exposure.
3. The spray material should be tested before each day of application
for the amount of iso -malathion present. An allowable limit for the
concentration of this impurity should be established in advance and
the justification for such a limit made public.

4. The amount of maioxon developing in 12 - 24 hours in the material
reaching the ground should be monitored.
5. The droplet size should be monitored. The plan for such monitoring
should be developed and made public before the application.
6. An assessment should be made of the possible risk of a plane accident
using data from previous projects of this type. Steps taken to pre-
vent such an accident should be made public. Emergency plans should
be developed and made public for dealing with such an accident should
It occur.
BACKGROUND
As part of a project to eradicate the Mediterranean fruit fly which ap-
peared in Santa Clara County in June 1980, the United States Department of
Agriculture is proposing the aerial application of malathion over an urban
area of 115.25 square miles (73,760 acres) including all or parts of the
cities of San Jose, Santa Clara,Campbell, Los Gatos, Los Altos, Palo Alto,
Mountain View, Monte Sereno, Sunnyvale, Cupertino and Saratoga.
Six applications are planned at 7 to 10 day intervals using four DC -6
planes flying at altitudes below 500 feet. The malathion will be mixed
with a protein bait (to attract the adult fruit flies) and applied at a
rate of 2.4 ounces of malathion mixed with 9.6 ounces of liquid protein
bait per acre. The droplet size will be large (mean diameter 600 microns,
about 1/32 of an inch) so that the material will tend to fall directly
downward and drift will be minimal.
Because of the obvious public concern and anxiety about possible adverse
health effects of such an area -wide involuntary exposure to a pesticide
the Department of Health Services has performed this evaluation of the
potential health hazard, drawing on the expertise of the Pesticide Unit
and the Hazard Evaluation System and Information Service in the Epidemio-
logical Studies Section and their computerized access to all major systems
of published medical and toxicological data. In addition consultations
have been held with scientists from the University of California, the En-
vironmental Protection Agency, the California Department of Food and Agri-
culture, Citizens for a Better Environment and the John Muir Institute.

ACUTE EFFECTS
Malathion has a low acute toxicity. Its oral LD50 is 1,000 to 2,600 mg/kg
depending on the purity of the technical grade material. The figure for
dermal LDI is five times higher; i.e., one-fifth as toxic. Malathion Is
the least oxic of the organophosphate pesticides. Orally it is about
1/25th as toxic as DDVP, the material used In flea collars for dogs and
cats. With dermal exposure the ratio is about 1/65. In addition, mala-
thion is not a persistent pesticide. It degrades and disappears rela-
tively rapidly after application, with a half-life of less than two days.
Since the amount applied will be 1.6 mg per square foot it is virtually
impossible for any acute toxic effects to occur (see Appendix for exposure
calculations). An average size adult would have to ingest almost the en-
tire amount applied to an acre to receive a potentially lethal dose.
Certain factors may operate to increase the possibility of acute toxic
effects. Impurities such as isomalathion may form during storage of the
pesticide. This compound is more toxic (1) and has caused problems in other
countries using products manufactured abroad. (2) It is important that the
malathion being used be analyzed before each application to test for the
presence of this impurity.
Another concern in relation to acute toxicity is maloxon, a breakdown
product of malathion which is considerably more toxic. Information from
pesticide residue chemists at the University of California at Riverside (3)
y indicates that insignificant amounts of this material would be present
especially in relatively cool months, but we recommend that the area be
monitored in order to be certain. --�
Malathion has been used extensively for over 30 years and is the most
widely applied home garden Insecticide. It has been applied by air in
previous Mediterranean fruit fly eradication programs in Florida (1956)
and in Texas (1962 and 1966) using much higher doses or application rates
than proposed for Santa Clara County. No adverse health effects were
noted in these applications. (4) Malathion is also frequently used in
area -wide applications for mosquito control. In 1954 a detailed study
was performed by this Department on men applying malathion by ground fog-
ging equipment over a two-week period. (5) No toxic effects were noted.
Small children and people with various types of illness are more suscep-
tible to the toxic effectbs of organophosphate pesticides than the general
population. The levels of exposure that will be encountered in this pro-
jected program, however, wi1i not be sufficient to cause any acute toxic
symptoms. Nor is it likely that any sensitivity or allergic reaction
could occur at these very low exposure levels.
Perhaps the greatest likelihood of acute health effects lies in the pos-
sibility of a plane crash or spill. Data on the occurrence of such
acci-
dents should be obtained and made public by the United States Dep
artment
Of Agriculture as well as information on the steps being taken to prevent
them and emergency procedures established to handle them in case they
occur.
CHRONIC EFFECTS
le
1. Subtle reproductive effects in animals such as adverse but 66) but ar
effects on sperm production are reported in the literature L6) but are
inconceivable in the human population who even with worst possible case
assumptions will be receiving doses that are hundreds to thousands of
times lower than those given to the test animals.
2. Teratogenic effects from malathion have not been shown to occur in
mammals. Two separate to �s 6L) rats failed to demonstrate any evi-
dence of teratogenicity. r 8 Studies in which malathion was ap-
plied directly to chick embryos have shown developmental defects (13)
but such studies are no longer considered to have any clear relation-
ship to teratogenesis in mammals.
3. Malathion has been tested for its ability to cause gene mutation in
eight studies using bacteria or yeast cells. All eight studies
yielded negative results.
Recently tests have been performed in two systems which do not directly
measure mutagenicity but rather are indirect indications of the poten-
tial to cause this effect. One is a system of human fibroblasts exam-
ined for the frequency of sister -chromatid exchange. (9) Another is a
system using colicinogenic plasmid E1 to detect in vitro damage to
DNA. (10) The results of these tests, while suggestive, do not meet
the criteria for positive evidence of mutagenicity.
4. The carcinogenicity of malathion was tested in a standard National
Cancer Institute bioassay. (11) The results were interpreted as show-
ing no evidence for an association between the administration of mala-
thion and an increased evidence of tumors in rats and mice of either
sex.
Subsequent re -analysis of the histological slides led another pathol-
ogist to conclude that malathion was carcinogenic in rats of both sexes
and caused an increase in the incidence of liver tumors in male mice.
The report of this re -analysis has not been published or subjected to
scientific review. (12)

ASSESSMENT
5-
ASSESSMENT OF CARCINOGENIC RISK
The risk of carcinogenesis has been estimated, accepting the unproved
premise that malathion may be a carcinogen and using other conservative
(health -biased) assumptions and some extreme "worst-case" examples in-
volving a 10 kg (22 pound) child exposed without clothes for all six appli-
cations to the amount of malathion settling on six square feet of.ground
(see Appendix for calculations of exposure and risk). In the event that
all these assumptions and examples are valid the malathion exposure would
increase such a child's likelihood of developing cancer by about one
chance in a million. Using the same assumptions but more realistic es-
timates of exposure to individuals wearing clothing usually worn in Santa
Clara County in the winter, the estimated risk is reduced to perhaps one
in a billion. This risk estimate should be considered in relation to the
fact that currently 20 to 25 percent of deaths are caused by cancer.
CONCLUSION
There is no significant health risk involved in the proposed aerial appli-
cation of malathion in Santa Clara County. Recommendations have been made
to help insure public safety and to address the public concerns.
APPENDIX
I. Review of Genetic Toxciology of Malathion
A. Mutagenicity
Summary: Malathion was recently tested in two system which do not
directly measure mutagenicity, but rather are indirect indications of
the potential to cause this affect. Eight earlier studies directly
investigating the ability to cause gene mutation in either bacteria or
yeast were all negative. Thus, malathion has not been demonstrated
to be mutagenic at this time.
------------------------------------
Malathion was tested in an in vitro system of human fibroblasts to
determine its ability to increase the frequency of sister -chromatic
exchange (9). The claim that malathion induces sister -chromatid
exchange (SCE) in culture human cells appears unfounded, at least
using the criteria to evaluate the acceptability of positive results
from SCE experiments developed by reviewers for the Gene-Tox program
of EPA (14).
The standard criteria developed for the determination of a positive
result consists of either:
1. a doubling of SCE's over the tested dose range; or
2. two dose points of a dose response curve significantly different
from the control point.
A difficulty in this study of malathion is that the positive control
substance, EMS, did not give a response by these criteria, and thus
cast doubt on the validity of the positive findings with malathion.
The authors' statment that the effect of malathion was comparable to
A-2
that of EMS (a known standard mutagen) on a molar basis has little
significance when viewed in this light. Malathion may cause in-
creased frequencies of SCE in cultured human cells, but such an
effect is not adequately demonstrated by this study.
Malathion was tested in a sensitive system using the colicinogenic
plasmid E1 which is designed to detect in vitro damage to DNA (10).
The advantage of this system is that there is no DNA repair systems
present to mask any apparent DNA damage. Covalently closed circular
DNA after suffering single -strand breaks sedimenta at distinctly
different sedimentation rates in an alkaline sucrose density gradient.
Malathion was incubated for an unspecified number of weeks in the
system at 1 mg/ml (0.3mm) in a hexane solution and produced about
0.1 DNA breaks/week or 0.4 breaks/week/mmole. on a millimolar basis,
it is about as effective in this system as EMS, MMS, and MNNG which
are standard mutagens. However, as the authors note, the significance
of these results is limited because:
1. Single -strand breaks in purified covalently closed circular DNA
do not demonstrate the mutagenicity or carinogenicity of a
compound; they demonstrate that the compound may cause damage
to DNA.
2. The effect of the compound in an in vitro system does not mean
that it will cause damage to mammalian DNA in vivo.
it is possible however, that a compound causing a positive response
in such a system may also cause damage to DNA in vivo, and further
t iI
short-term tests for mutagenicity should be undertaken to Investi-
�
�.� I gate this general possibility.
A-3
As stated however, tests for the mutagenicity of malsth£on were not
positive in eight other assay systems; Salmonella/microsome; B.
subtilis rec essay; E. coli assay for mutation at the loci for
stretomycin resistance, galatose synthesis, or 5 -methyl tryptophan
resistance; and yeast assay for mitotic gene conversion. Malathion
is thus unlike the standard mutagens EMS, Hm , and M"G, which are
positive in most of these test systems. Since most of these test
systems involve bacteria„ it would be useful to test the compound
in a standard battery of short-term tests involving other test
organisms and teat systems (chromosceae aberrations; unscheduled
DNA symthesis; cell transformation; mutations in vivo). While the
t
results from the above mentioned study of sister -chromatid exchange
in cultured human calls (4) is suggestive in this regard, but con-
firmatory studies are required before any conclusions can be made
concerning mutagenicity.
A-4
B. Teratogenicity
Summary: In two separate testa in rate, malathion has not been
demonstrated to have teratogenic effects. Malathion caused
teratogenic effects in chick embryos which were overcome by the
simultaneous administration of nicotinamide. The relation of this
result to potential mammalian teratogenicity, particularly given
the lack of teratogenic effect of malathion in standard rodent
teats for teratogenicity, remains doubtful.
-------------------------------------------
Two studies of putative teratogenicity of malathion in rats were
without clear positive results. In an early study, malathion
was given to rata at 240 mg/kg without having detectable terato-
genic effect (7). In a more recent study at higher done levels,
malathion was given to rats by gavage at 300 mg/kg in single daily
doses from days 6 to 15 of gestation (8) term pregnancies were
examined by caesarean section and fetuses were analyzed for visceral
and skeletal abnormalities. No irregularities were observed, and
survival and growth also appeared normal.
In studies with chick embryos, injection of malathion into the yolk
sac at day 0 to 5 of incubation produced developmental defects
(abnormal beak, reduced body size, retarded down development, and
wryneck) (13). It should be noted that twenty other organo -
phosphorous insecticides produced similar developmental effects.
j Such effects are mostly reversed when malathion is supplemental by
nicotinic acid or nicotinamide. What relation this has to potential
for mammalian teratogenicity is not clear at this time_
A-5
C. Carcino&eicity
Smeary; In a standard National Cancer Institute bioessay there
was no clear evidence for an association between the administration
of malathion and the increase in incidence of tumors in rate and mice
of either sex. Subsequent re-analysia of the histological sections
led another NCI pathologist to conclude that malathion was carcino-
genic in rate of both sexes and caused an increase in the incidence
of liver neoplasms in male mice.
In a standard NCI bioassay (11), malathion was administered in the
diet to groups of Osborne -Mendel rate and B6C3F1 mice of both sexes
(50 animals of each sex and species) for 80 weeks. The rata were
then observed for an additional 33 weeks, and the mice were observed
for an additional 15 weeks. Daily doses to mice were approximately
625 mg/kg and 1350 mg/kg when averaged over a lifetime; for rats,
the average daily dose over a lifetime was about 200 and 400 mg/kg.
Two seta of control animals of each species and sax vera used. For
rate, matched control groups contained 15 non -dosed animals of each
sex; pooled control groups combined the matched controls with 40
untreated controls from bioassays of four other chemicals. For mice,
matched controls contained 10 mice of each sex; pooled controls.
combined the matched control group with 40 untreated animals from
bioassays of four other test chemicals.
There were no significant excess tumor incidences at any site for
male rats. In female rata, follicular -cell carcinoma or follicular -
cell adenoma of the thyroid gland had a significantly positive dose-
related trend statistic when compared to the pooled controls (pooled
A-6
control 0/46; low does 0/48; high does 4/40). However, the high
dose group did not @how a statistically significant difference from
controls by the Fisher. exact test. The spontaneous tumor incidence
of these thyroid tumors in the test laboratory was about 27. (6/261).
Thus, the thyroid tumors in rats did not clearly indicate a car-
cinogenic effect of malathion.
There were no significant excess tumor incidences reported for
female mice. In male mice, the increases in liver neoplasms (hepato-
cellular carcinoma and neoplastic nodules) showed a significant
dose-related trend statistic when compared to either the matched or
pooled control groups. Neither of the dose groups, however, were
significantly different from the control groups by the Fisher exact
test. After crude time -adjustments were made to eliminate male mice
that died of non -cancer causes during the first year of the study,
the incidences of liver neoplasms were as follows: matched controls
2/9 (227.); pooled controls 8/48 (177.); low-doae 7/47(15%); and high -
dose 17/49 (35%). There is a 19% spontaneous incidence of these liver
neoplasms among 285 historical control male mice of this strain at
this test laboratory. A thorough time -to -tumor analysis of the liver
hepatocellular carcinoma data for male mice revealed a result that has
only marginal statistical significance (15). Based on the pathology
analysis conducted in this study, there is limited evidence for the
association of increased Liver tumor incidence in male mice with the
administration of malathion. A clearer association might have been
demonstrated had the original experimental design called for a larger
number of control animals.
A-7
A subsequent re-analysia of the histological sections from the NCI
^ti
bioassay by another NCI pathologist led to the conclusion that
i
malathion was carcinogenic to rats of both sexes and caused an
increase in liver tumors in male mice (12). In male rats, where all
i
sites were combined, significant increases in benign and malignant
i
neoplasms were reported. Carcinomas in all sites combined were also
significant. In female rate, for all sites combined, malignant
neoplasms, particularly carcinomas, were also increased. More
specifically, there were significant increases in carcinomas in male
rats for endocrine glands, for pituitary gland, and for thyroid
gland. For female rats, there were increases in carcinoma of the
endocrine glands combined.
It is difficult to interpret the significance of these findings be-
cause'
1. "all sites combined" is generally not accepted as evidence of a
carcinogenic effect;
2. Specific descriptions of tumor types (e.g. follicular -cell
adenoma or C -cell adenoma) were not given;
3. The findings have not been subjected to peer review or published.
Combining incidences from tumors -which origninate in different cell-
`` t^ types generally does not follow NCI protocol in evaluating t,e car -
I\ .
cinogenic effect of a chemical. Significantly elevated incidence of
neoplasms originating from specified cell -type is required to demon-
atrate carcinogenicity.
Given the nature of this analysis, our assessment for risk of cancer
A-8
in humans from exposures to malathion are based on the data for liver
hepatocellular carcinomas and neoplastic nodules in male mice as
reported in the original NCI study. If the data presented in the
reanalysis of the study in mice ;were used, the calculated risk of
cancer would change by less than an order of magnitude (about 3 -fold
increase in risk). If the data for rats are used, in the risk estimate
fiom the reanalysis of the NCI study, the calculated risks of cancer
would increase by an additional factor of 3.
A-9
II. Carcinogenesis Risk Assessment
This assessment of risk of cancer for humans from exposure■ to malathion
anticipated from repeated aerial applications in Santa Clara County
is based on animal cancer bioassay data as originally reported for the
NCI rodent bioassay on malathion. Specifically, the risk calculation
is based on the increased incidence of liver hapatocellular carcinomas
and neoplastic nodules in male mice as compared to the pooled control
animals.
The estimate of risk is conservative (health -biased) from several per-
spectives:
1. It is based on rodent bioassay data in Which the cancer
incidence from the most reponsive tissue, from the most
sensitive sex and species of test animal is used; (liver
tissue male mice);
2. Liver neoplastic nodules are presumed to progress to
liver hepatocellular carcinomas;
3. Benign tumors in the liver are combined with liver car-
cinomas for the estimate of cancer risk (neoplastic
nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas);
4. The incidence of these liver neoplasms in the pooled con-
trol animals is taken as representative of the spontaneous
incidence of these tumors among historical controls;
5. The risk cancer to humans is estimated from animal data
under the assumption that rod a nt and humans are equally
sensitive: the dose equivalence of mg/kg/day for a life-
time is used;
A-11
Calculation:
1. Aerial application rate - 2.4 oz/acre
2.4 cz/43,460 ft2
- 1.6 mg/ft2; (1 oz - 28.34 gm)
2. For child exposed to a dose which covers 6 ft2,
1.6 mg x 6 - 9.6 mg/ application;
3. For 6 applications,
6 x 9.6 mg/ application . 57.6 mg total dose;
4. Assume child weighs 10 kg (22 lb);
5. Assume child is exposed to entire dose from 6 application
covering 6 ft2 (57.6 mg), and that dermal absorption of
applied dose is 10%; thus, absorbed dose is 5.8 61;
6. The total cumulative lifetime dose of malathion to child
is therefore 5.8 mg, or.0.6 mg/kg for a 10 kg child;
7. Assume human lifetime is 70 years - 70 years x 365 days/
year - 25,550 days;
B. The daily doe to the child, averaged over a lifetime, in
0.6 gm/kg/25,550 days - 2.4 x 10-5 mg/kg/day;
9. The combined liver tumor incidence in male mice are as follows:
Liver hepatocellular
carcinomas and neo -
dose group dose level plastic nodules
incidence Z
matched control 2 10 20
pooled control 8/49 19
low dose 8,000 ppm 7148 15
high dose 16,000 ppm 17149 35
10. Thus, the high dose caused tumors in approximately 20%
of the animals that otherwise mould have been tumor free
(17i498) a 9149 207.;
A-12
11. The daily dose administered to the high does male mice
averaged over the experiment time is approximately 1350 mg/
kg/day. This assumes that the B6C3F1 mouse eats 10% of
its weight per day (see NCI data on dietary intake for
B6C3F1 as given in the Report of the Rodent Bioassay on
Trichloroethylene, 1978) and the average dose is calculated
over the 95 week experiment itme;
12. Thus, 1.350 x 103 mg/kg/day - 2 x 10-1 (20%) risk of cancer
in animals;
13. Risk of cancer in humans estimated from animal data:
From male mice data on liver tumors and hypothetical dome
to infanta:
Risk of cancer - (2.4.x 10_5). C2 x 10-) a 3.6 x 10-9 risk of
1.35 x 10 3) cancer
14. Using surface area instead of weight, a more conservative
method of relating human to rodent doses, involves a 10
fold increase in risk - 3.6 x 10-8-
Thus,
0-8-Thus, using these assumptions in a populationsof 106
exposed people, we would not expect any cancers to result
from these applications;
15. -More conservative estimates of dose could use additional
assumptions:
a) synergy occurs (x 10);
b) assume significant increases in thyroid tumor incidences
occurred -in rate (rat doses were about 1/3 the dose
levels used with mice).
A-13
16. Using assumptions 15. a) +b), the risk is 30 times
larger, or 1.08 x 10-6
17. The risk therefore, using all the most conservative
assumptions and an extreme worst case example is one in
a million that the exposed child would develop cancer
as a result of its exposire to malathion.

HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATION OF PROPOSED MALATHION BAIT APPLICATIONS
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY INFESTATION
IN SANTA CLARA AND THE SURROUNDING REGION
By
Worker Health and Safety Unit
California Department of Food and Agriculture
A proposal has been made to disperse a malathion bait mix by air over the
heavily populated region south of San Francisco. The core area is centered
near the cities of Santa Clara and San Jose. The purpose of this applica-
tion is to reduce the current population of the Mediterranean fruit fly so
that the number of sterilized male flies available for introduction into
that environment will be able to adequately affect the reproduction of the
wild population, hopefully leading to eventual elimination of this most des-
tructive agricultural pest. The proposed rate of application is 2.4 oz. of
active ingredient (malathion) per acre mixed with 9.6 oz. of liquid protein
bait. The size of each droplet of bait containing malathion will be in the
range of 800 microns in diameter (approximately .03 inches). The affected
area would be treated six times at intervals of approximately seven to ten
days apart. Because the involved area is heavily populated, a public health
risk assessment was requested.
An extensive literature review was undertaken by the Worker Health and Safety
Unit of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, searching for all
available information concerning any impact of malathion on living systems.
More than 700 individual articles were identified for review. In addition to
the literature search, contacts were made with individuals in the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in
Atlanta, Georgia, and the California Department of Health Services. Indirect
comments were received from the John Muir society, the Sierra Club, and the
Citizens for a Setter Environment. After careful review and analysis of all
available information, no public health hazard risk was identified in asso-
ciation with the proposed bait application program as submitted.
Based on numerous evaluations of malathion, a relatively large dose is required
to induce any symptoms of intoxication in either humans or test animals. Thus,
as an immediate threat to health, the amount of malathion to be dispersed poses
virtually no toxic hazard to individuals who might be exposed to the material.
Individuals ingesting large amounts of malathion, usually in suicide attempts,
are not successful in self-destruction in nearly 80 percent of the reported
cases. Individuals treated successfully after large ingestions of malathion
show no evidence of prolonged or irreversible effects. Complete recovery follows
the immediate posttreatment period. No cases of subtle malathion poisoning
resulting from incidental exposure to amounts of malathion as would result from
the proposed aerial application program were discovered.
A number of questions have been posed by various individuals concerned about
the proposed application program regarding the potential for long-term or
irreversible effects developing as a consequence of exposure to malathion.
Studies have been cited and implications presented that irreversible or chronic
health effects might be possible on the basis of isolated laboratory observa-
tions. When these individual observations are considered along with the
sizable amount of information available relative to the effects of long term
administration of malathion in test animals, there is no scientifically valid
evidence to imply that any chronic or irreversible health effects are asso-
ciated with either long-term or acute administration of malathion to any
mammalian species.
Investigators for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) concluded that neither
malathion nor malaoxon, a possible metabolic breakdown product of malathion,
is carcinogenic, based on studies completed in 1978 and 1979, wherein malathion
or malaoxon was administered to mice and rats for their lifetime. An indepen-
dent evaluation of these studies was conducted by an independent pathologist,
Dr. Melvin Ruber.. ;Dr. Ruber reported finding more tissue abnormalities than
�• the scientists who -'ha -1 conducted the studies. Independently of the peer group
conducting the studies, Dr. Ruber released his conclusions that malathion was
a carcinogen. Other scientists reviewing these same materials have not found
'j the same abnormalities which Dr. Ruber states he has found. This is not the
first time that Dr. Ruber has declared a substance to be carcinogenic while
the rest of the scientific community has been unable to confirm his observa-
tions. Thus, the declaration of carcinogenicity by Dr. Ruber remains an
unsupported independent opinion contrary to scientific peer review.
It has been suggested that malathion poses a mutation threat in the form of
chromosomal aberrations. This suggestion is made on the basis of observations
in individuals involved in massive intoxication with malathion. Chromosomal
aberrations are a normal finding in virtually all individuals. In the presence
of acute intoxication with malathion, a slight increase in the number of cells
showing some degree of aberration was observed. The changes that were seen
were normal; only the frequency of observations was increased. In addition,
these changes were temporary as part of the massive intoxication syndrome.
This would indicate that these changes are most likely due to the severe stress
placed on the system due to the presence of a significant biological insult
rather than due to a specific chemical reaction.
It has been suggested that malathion may have a teratogenic effect based on
observations in developing egg embryo systems. Experience has indicated that
abnormal embryonic development induced by injecting foreign substances into
the eggs of oviparous animals has no correlation with teratogenesis, which is
the production of physical defects in offspring in utero. Therefore, develop-
mental aberrations in oviparous systems do not indicate a potential for terato-
genic risk in mammalian systems. An additional study has been cited in which
cardiovascular development was inhibited in developing Japanese rice fish
-2-
(Medaka) embryos. In reviewing the original article, it is clear that this
effect was due to lethal cellular effects and not to an effect on the develop-
mental process itself. This is a dose-related toxic response and is not a
teratogenic observation.
Another study has been cited to suggest that the testes may be affected
by malathion administration. Juvenile rats subjected to high --dose malathion
administration developed a temporary decrease in spermatogenic and Leydig cells.
Complete recovery ensued once malathion administration was discontinued. Again,
this is an acute intoxication syndrome without an indication of irreversible or
chronic hazard potential.
Finally, some concern has been expressed regarding the breakdown or metabolic
products of malathion, one of these breakdown products is malaoxon. In terms
of cholinesterase -inhibiting strength, malaoxon is more potent than the parent
material malathion. Malaoxon, however, is not present in concentrations which
would have any influence on the toxicity of malathion under the proposed condi-
tions of malathion use. The toxic profile of malaoxon is essentially
similar to that of malathion_ Its presence will be so minimal as to render any
toxicological consideration totally academic.
In addition to the above comments, other clinical observations have been reported
in cases of attempted suicide which reveal that individuals recovering from
massive intoxication with malathion show no evidence of prolonged or irreversible
effects. Recovery is complete without sequelae. There is virtually no acute
intoxication hazard to the public under the proposed use program. Pregnant women
who have become intoxicated with malathion have had normal offspring. Animal
studies with malathion have shown that there is no effect on fetal development or
reproduction when malathion is administered during the most sensitive periods of
reproductive development.
Malathion has been used extensively in agriculture and in the public sector for
more than 30 years. It is perhaps the most widespread home and garden insecticide
in use today. It is used extensively in mosquito abatement programs as a public
health measure, and no public health hazards have emerged as a result of this
extensive use pattern.'
In conclusion, an exhaustive review of the scientific and clinical literature
relative to malathion reveals no information which would lead to any reasonable
suspicion of a potential adverse public health impact under the proposed mala-
thion use conditions-

13� Responses to Some Frequently Voiced Concerns - of SUSAN-CNAPBIS -
About the Toxicology of Malathion in the Medfly Eradication Campaign
Paul'J. Papanek, Jr. -' MD MpH
December 15,, 1989.:.
The Department of Health Services has received a great many inquiries in the
last few months about the evidenee for the safety of malathion as used in the
current medfly eradication campaign,. Many of these inquiries have to do with
Possible long term health effects, such as cancer or adverse reproductive
outcomes, or with the adequacy of health surveillance for allergic effects or
other short-term health effects.!
Many callers correctly point out;that malathion is an organophosphate
one must cgnsider fhe imp
insecticide, a class of compounds with potentially severe toxicity. However,
ortant'concept-of chemical dosage in evaluating
Possible health effects. Malathion canof course be dangerous and even lethal
if swallowed in sufficient quantities. However, at the dose levels being used
in the medfly eradication campaign it is unlikely that there will be any
health effects whatever. .The amdunt of malathion being sprayed by helicopter
is 2.8 ounces per acre or 2 milligrams per square foot. The malathion is
mixed with corn syrup bait, and,is released from the helicopters in a fairly
coarse spray which reaches the'ground within 15 to 30 minutes.
Once on the ground, the dropletsdo not evaporate into the air to any
significant extent, do not drift laterally, do not find their way indoors, and
are broken down in the environment within about a week. Thus, the only -
plausible route of exposure to malathion following the spraying is through
ingestion of the droplets from the ground or other outdoor sprayed surfaces.
Absorption through the skin is negligibly small. Even with very careless
behavior in the days following aerial spraying, it seems all but impossible
that anyone could ingest more than a few milligrams of the sprayed malathion.
With reasonable care, ingestion would be a tiny fraction of this amount, The
earliest observed health effects in humans following malathion exposure
require a much higher dose. Nonetheless, the Department of Health Services
recommends that it is prudent forlpersons in the spray area to take common
sense steps to decrease their exFosures_to the spray' mixture to the extent
Possible. Reasonable steps include washing;. off outdoor picnic tables or toys
which might be mouthed by smalls ildren
Many insects are more sensitive'to malathion than humans or other higher
mammals, taking account of differences in body mass. This difference in
susceptibility is approximately a' thousandfold, which accounts for the
effectiveness of malathion as an insecticide under conditions which appear to
pose essentially no threat to human health.

j
During the past three years the Department of Health'Services has conducted an
aggressive public outreach campaign to'citizens,'physicians, hospitals and
emergency"rooms, emergency responders,'and in the last year to day care
centers, schools, and veterinarians, advising them of our interest in
identifying possible cases of illness which might be attributed to the
spraying. This outreach campaign has produc-ed- literally hundreds or thousands -
of telephone calls to our staff from concernedpersons before each spraying
occurs. After each spraying, however, we receive very few phone calls. In
the past three years our Department has had only one reported case from a
medical care provider of an illness possibly related.to the malathion
spraying. In that one case, the reporting physician documented an allergic
skin reaction possibly due to malathion exposure. In the days following each
spraying, we have also typically received two or three reports from citizens
with transient allergic symptoms which might be related to malathion or corn
syrup exposure. However, we havejseen no pattern of illness, and no cases of
organophosphate poisoning. Ratesof any illness in the days and weeks
following.the aerial applications; might possibly be attributed to
malathion exposure therefore appear to be extremely low, or near zero despite
our extensive outreach efforts. r
Some callers have pointed out that malathion has been proved to be teratogenic
embryn chi
model. Two studies found __in_one. experimental animal model,- the -chick
icks.._ . _This is truemut _ o
that a few milligrams of malathion caused
developmental abnormalities when injected directly into a developing chick
embryo or yolk sac. Whether the chick embryo model,.a closed system which
does not account for usual metabolic pathways, is an appropriate one for
assessing human risk is doubtful.; In other studies of reproductive outcomes,
malathion has not been shown to produce birth defects, unless the dose
administered was so large that the health of the pregnant animal was affected.
In studies using a lower dose of malathion, no specific adverse reproductive
effects have been demonstrated, to our knowledge. Thus, the amounts of
malathion being sprayed in the medfly eradication campaign appear to pose no
risk to pregnant women or newborn babies, with a wide margin of safety.
A careful study of adverse reproductive outcomes, I including low birth weights,
miscarriages, and birth defects, was performed in the San Francisco Bay area
in 1981 by the California Department .of Health Services. This study was
reassuring, because it found no such effects despite the fact that the spray
area encompassed three counties and the spraying was repeated as often as 6 to
15 times in some areas.
The issue of malathion's.carcinogelnicity has been carefully reviewed by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has concluded that there is no
evidence that malathion is carcinogenic from many animal studies.
Furthermore, the California Department of Health Services, in reviewing this
data, concluded that even if malathion were speculatively a carcinogen (which
it does not appear to be), its carcinogenic potency would be so low that
following aerial spraying the incremental lifetime cancer risk to any exposed
individual would likely be less than one in one billion even using "worst
case" assumptions. Of course, one can never conclude absolutely that a
particular substance is not a carcinogen. One can only say that the
carcinogenic potency of a substance, once evaluated, is so low that no
Page 3
significant cancer risk can be detected or is likely, This is the case with
malathion.
In February, 1988, the EPA called7for further testing of'malathion and almost
two hundred other pesticides in current use. This issue is an important one.
The -EPA was careful to state very clearly that their --call for more research -on ---
malathion and other pesticides should in no way be interpreted as a signal.
that EPA views malathion's use in'such settings as the medfly eradication
campaign as risky. In calling for additional studies, the EPA scrutinized
newly formulated scientific criteria for pesticide evaluation, and determined
that many pesticides did not meet; these newly formulated standards, standards
which were not in effect previously. In the case of malathion, the agency
concluded that more studies were required in two limited areas. However, some
reasonably good research was already available to argue that malathion was not
likely to fail these additional,r quired investigations.
It is misleading,,
as some have done, to compare malathion to substances which
are known to be carcinogenic, such as radiation, or which are known to be
persistent in the biosphere, suchas DDT or Agent Orange. It appears that
malathion breaks down fairly quickly in the environment, within about a week
of application. In surface runoff waters near sprayed areas, malathion
-concentration s_ have _teaded_to_be extremel.j�_.low—_.In_.the_.human- body- following
ingestion malathion is broken down within a day or two, although adverse
effects on certain blood enzymes can persist for many weeks following a large
dose, much greater than could be sustained as a result of aerial spraying.
i
Some residents have expressed concern that the medfly is becoming resistant to
malathion because of the aerial spraying. Resistance in an insect population
can occur only when the target insect population is not carried to extinction,
as has happened in past eradication campaigns in California, However, it is
theoretically possible that continued use of malathion or similar insecticides
in other parts of the world, particularly in areas where the medfly is
endemic, might induce malathion resistance in wild flies. It is also true
that one should not apply malathion to an area where sterile medflies have
been recently released, and in fact this is not done. When an infestation is
first discovered, the infested area is sprayed with malathion. One to two
weeks later, after the sprayed malathion has broken down in the environment,
release of sterile medflies in the area is begun. From that point on, no'
further malathion is applied in that area, in order to avoid jeopardizing the
sterile medflies that have already been released to breed the wild flies out
of existence.
Finally, many individuals have raised important issues with regard to fairness
and the rights of individuals. Some have argued that it is inherently unfair
to spray one group of people in order to produce a benefit which applies to
others. This is of course a very,di.fficult policy question, which is under
constant reevaluation by the California Department of Food and Agriculture as
the lead agency in the eradication campaign. Such policy quandaries
notwithstanding, the Department of Health Services has no evidence at this
time that the aerial application of malathion in the medfly eradication
campaign poses a risk to the.public_health.....

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT MEDDny SPRAYING
August 7, 1989
i
How safe is the malathion being sprayed?
Malathion is a commonly used home and garden insecticide. At the doses
being used for the medfly eradication campaign, malathion is one of the
safest pesticides available. In England, malathion is even used to
treat head and body lice in children. Although it is dangerous -if
swallowed or otherwise absorbed in large doses, it appears to have
essentially no adverse health effects at very low doses. It has not
been associated with cancer,jadverse reproductive outcomes, neurological
diseases, or other chronic; health problems at these doses.
Are there any health hazards from the spraying?' - --
There appears to be essentially no health hazard in the small amounts of
malathion'being used - 2.4 ounces of the insecticide to 9.6 ounces of
medfly-attracting bait per acre sprayed. At this low dose, even persons
with particular health problems, such as pregnant women or people with
allergies or other ailments,should have no health problems whatever.
Q. What should I do during the ,time that aerial spraying is taking place?
A. Stay indoors. However, evenifyou were outside, the health risk would
be extremely low.
Q. Should I close the windows at home while the helicopter is spraying the
maiathion7 k
A. There is no real need to do 'this, although some people may feel more
comfortable doing so. The spray droplets fall to earth fairly quickly,
usually within about 15 to 30 minutes, and there is very little lateral
drift of the material. Furthermore, once the droplets are on the
ground, they do not volatilize or give rise to:appreciable levels of
malathion in the air.
I
Q. Is it possible to inhale the "spray"?
i
A. No. The mixture is applied as droplets generally too small to be seen
until they reach the ground, but too large to be inhaled. It is not an
aerosol -type spray.

In that case, will malathion contaminate my swimming pool or spa?
The concentration of malathion is not high enough to contaminate pools.
Furthermore, the chemicals normally used to keepa
algae -and bacteria also rapidly inactivate malahionaol or spa free o€
Will malathion damage my car?
A. No. However, the corn syrup -protein bait can mar the high -luster finish
on some vehicles if left in place for a long time. Residents in areas
are advised to cover their cars or wash with water by the morning after
the spraying.
Q. Will',malathion damage toys
orfurniture left outside?
A. No. Although it is not necessary, same.persans may feel more
comfortable washing or hosingidown toys'and furnittire'left outside
during the spraying. It is important that residents not hose off trees
and shrubs because this would',nullify the effect of the spray.

Is it safe to eat fruit and vegetables growing in the garden?
Yes.. Simply rinse well with water before eating.

Once again the concentration of malathion is so 'small, harm is extremely
unlikely. One would have to ingest the total amount spraved on at least
a tenth of an acre to receivea dose large enough to cause even the

What happens if I eat fruit that contains medfly larvae?
Nothing; they'll pass through your system.
What happens if I eat a medfly?
Nothing.
i
Has malathion been used in urban areas before?
Yes. There have been several medfly eradication campaigns in Los Angeles
over the past few years, each of which has resulted in essentially no
detectable health effects, despite extensive outreach to citizens and
health care providers, asking them to report any adverse effects.
Malathion in higher doses has also been used in other states for medfly
eradication campaigns, and in Northern California for repeated
applications in the early 1080's, all without any detectable health
problems.
Why are they spraying malathion bait from helicopters?_ -
Project leaders say this is!the most effective way to eradicate the
medfly. The aerial spraying is then followed up with repeated releases
of sterile medflies, to complete eradicate the infestation.

There appears to be less public concern with night spraying, since fewer
people are outdoors at night.
Is the pattern of spraying and of droplets on the ground carefully
controlled?
A. Yes. For the spray to be effective there cannot be many large gaps in
the area being spraved. There is careful quality control of the
spraying to make sure that there is no drift or the material outside the
intended spray area and to make sure that the application rate is very
uniform. This insures thatno area receives a heavy dose while other
areas go untreated.
Q. How does malathion kill the medfllies?
A. The malathion is mixed withja bait that attracts the medflies. They eat
the bait and the malathion then kills them by interfering with an enzyme
called acetyl cholinesterase which regulates nerve function. Of note,
flies are about a thousand tunes more sensitive to the effects of
malathion than humans, on aper body weight basis.

Introduction
From July 1981 through August1982. in an effort to
M
eradicate the Mediterranean Fruit Fly. the California Depart -
men( of Food and Agriculture conducted aerial applications
of the pesticide malathion, an organophosphate. Malathion
was applied over more than 13,000 square miles. including
several population centers adjacent to San Francisco Bav
(Figure 11. Before the initiation of the program, the Califomla
flepartment Of -Health -Setvlees ctiitcluded-ihaf--6ase1-ori"-
animal studies, there would be no important human health
risks associated with this low dosage application.' Never:
thelcss, there was considerable public apprehension about.
the program.
This investigation examined the relation between low -
dosage aerial malathion exposure and the prevalence at birth
Of congenital anomalies and low birthwelght. The analyses
were limited to live births from mothers residing in treated zip
codes of Alameda. San Mateo. and Santa Clara counties.
.Netitnds
Aerial treatment data were provided by the Californial
Department of Food and Agriculture and were used to'
determine monthly exposure "scores" for each treated zip'
code. Scores were computed by multiplying the number of
applications per month for each zip code by the estimated
proportion of the residences of the zip code that received the
malathion treatment.
Data on congenital anomalies were obtained from all
1981 and 1982 newborn hospital discharges with zip code', of
residence in the treated areas. lnternational Classification of
Disease congenital anomaly codes (740.0-759.9) were includ. i
ed at the four -digit level (total = 152).-' In addition, s
embryologically related groupings of diagnoses were inve5ix- 1
tlgated.
For the birthweight analysis, a birth certificatc data file
11
was used that included all 1982 births to residents of the
sprayed areas.
For the analvsls of congenital anomalies. a first trimester
90 -day vulnerability period was calculated counting back-

wards from the date of birth. For term births. a nine-month
gestation period was assumed. Six-month and eight-month
gestation periods were assumed for births with discharge
diagnoses of "extreme immaturity" and "other preterm,"
respectively. For all births, an exposure score for the
three-month period was then assigned on the basis of month
and zip code of birth.
Use of these procedures resulted in an exposed cohort of
22.465 binhs for 1982. These births were compared Separate-
ly to the 1982 unexposed births IN = 17,050) and to 1981
unexposed births IN = 37.854). It was predicted that any
important association of rtlalathion exposure with the occur-
rence of congenital anomalies would be revealed in hath of
these comparisons.
For the birthweight analysis, attention was focused on
the entire gestation period because of the difficulty of iden-
tifying a spcctfic period of vulnerability. Counting backwards
from the date of birth. nine months of vulnerability were
assumed_ for alt births, an asstlmPtioge
n -that would exagrate.
the potential for exposure to malathion far births of shorter
gestation. Use of these procedures resulted in an 198
exposed cohort of 24.987 births and a 1982 unexposed cohort
of 15.278 births.
Results
As expected. given the infrequent occurrence of most
congenital anomalies. patterns of association fluctuated be-
tween the two ,years. No category of anomaly was found to
be materialiv elevated among exposed births in comparison

The uses in question are!cavered by a §le emergency
exemption and a J24(c) registration. In granting the JIB
requests we determined" that the existing data bana for malathion
supported the exemption and that the use would spot pose any
unreasonabia risk. Also, we had no objection to the registration
issued by the state under 124(c) to meet a Special Local Need*_
As part of the rereaistration process for pesticides
which are currently registered under FIFRA, the Agency cQndudt:sd

The purpose of the review was' to reassess the currant uses of the

:.CUTZ EFFECTS
`ialathion has. a low acute•coxicity. Its oral LD is 1,000 to 2,600
5 - -
mg/kg depending on the purity of the technical grade material. The figure
i
:or dermal LD50 is five times, higher, ` e., --one-fifth as toxic-:
Malathion is the least toxic of the organophosphate pesticides. Orally it
is about l; 25th .as toxic as DDVP,; the material used in flea collars for
dogs and cats. With dermal exeosure, the ratio iz about 1/65. In
i
addition, malathion is not a persistent pesticide. It degrades and
I
disappears relatively rapidly after application, with a half-life of less
than two days.
Since the amount applied will be X1.6 mg per square 'foot, it is virtually
impossible for any acute toxic effects to occur (see Appendix for exposure
calculations), An average size !adult would have :to ingest almost the
entire amount applied to an acral to receive a potentially lethal dose.
f
Certain factors may operate to°increase the possibility of acute toxie
_ I
,
effects. Impurities such as isomalathion may form during storage of the
pesticide. This compound is ;moreltoxic I and has caused problems in other
countries using products manufactured abrcad.2 It -is important that the
malathion being used be analyzed (before each 'application to test for the
presence of this impurity.
Another concern in relation to acute toxicity is malaoxon, a breakdocn _
product of malathion which is considerably more toxic. Information from
;
pesticide residue chemists at the University of California at Riverside
indicates that Lr -significant amounts of this material would be present

Malathion has been used extensively for over 30 years and is the most
widely applied home/garden insecticide. It has been applied by air in
previous Mediterranean fruit fly eradic,a 4on programs, in Florida (1956) and _
in Texas (1962 and 1966) using much higher doses or application rates than
proposed for Santa Clara County. No ad verse health effects were noted in
these applications.`` Malathion is also frequently used in area—wide
appLicaticns for mosquito control. In 1J54, a detailed study was performed-
I
by this Department on men applying malathion by ground fogging equipment
over a two—week period.5 No toxic effects were noted.
Small children and people with varicus types of illness are more suscepti—
ble to the toxic effects of organophosphate pesticides than the general
I.
population.. The levels of exposure that will be encountered in this
projected program, however, will not be 'sufficient to cause any acute toxic
i
symptoms. Nor is it likely that any sensitivity or allergic reaction could
occur at these very lou exposure levels.:
Perhaps the greatest likelihood of acute health effects lies in the passi—
bility of a plane crash or spill. Data on the occurrence of such accidents
i
should be obtained and made public by the United States Department of
AZriL•:lture, as weLL as information on the steps being taken to prevent
them and emergency procedures established to handle them in case they
occur.
CHRONIC EFFECTS
1. Subtle reproductive effects in a6imais such as adverse,..but reversible,
effects on sperm production are reported in the literacureb but are
inconceivable in the human population who even with -worst possibie case
assumptions will be receiving doses that are hundreds to thousands of
times Lover than those given to the test animal=__
Z. Teratogenic effects from malathion have not beer shown to occur in
mammals. Two separate tests in rats failed to demonstrate any.evidence
of teratogenicity. ,8 Studies in which malathion was applied
directly to chick embryos have shown developmental defects13, but
_ such studies -are no_Long,r_.,tonsidered-to .haye any_ clear .relationship to
teratogenesis in mammais.
3. Malathion has been tested for its ability to cause gene mutation in
eight studies using bacteria or yeast cells. All eight studies yielded
negative results.
Recently tests have been performed in two systems. which do not directly
measure mutagenicity, but rather are indirect indications of the
potential to cause this effect.', One is a system of human fibroblasts
examined for the frequency of sister—chromatid exchange.9 mother is
a system using colicinagenic plasmid El to detect in vitro damage to
DNA. 10 The results of these tests, while suggestive, do not meet Che
criteria for positive evidence of mutagenicity.
4.- The carcinogenicity of malathion was tested in a standard National
Cancer Institute b ioassa,r. l l the results were interpreted as showing
I
f
no evidence tvr an as50ciaticn becween the adminiscration of malathion
and an increased evidence of tumors in rats and mice of eit:ier sex.
Subsequent rasnalysis of Che historica. slides Led another pathologist
to conclude that malathion was carcinogenic in rats of both sexes and
caused an increase in the incidence of liver tumors in male mice. The
report of this reanalvsis has not been published or subjected to .
scientific review. i
ASSESSMENT OF CARCItiOGE`IlC RISK
M`e risk of carcinogenesLs has been estimated, accepting the unproved
premise that malathion may be a carcinogen and using other conservative
(heaLth-biased) assumptions and some extreme "Worst-case" examp?es
involving a 10kg (22 pound.; child exposed without clothes for all six
applications to the amount of malathion settling on six square feet of
ground (see Appendix for calculations of exposure and risk). In the event
that all these assumptions and examples are valid, the malathion exposure
would increase such a child's likelihood of developing cancer by about one
chance in a miltion. Easing the same assumptions, but more realistic
estimates of exposure to individuals wearing clothing usually worn in Santa
Clara County in the winter, the estimated risk is reduced to perhaps one in
a billion. This risk estimate should be considered in relation to the fact
that currently 20 to 25 percent of deaths are caused by cancer.
CONCLUSION
There is no significant health risk involved in the proposed aerial appli-
cation of malathion in Santa Clara County. Recommendations have been made
Co help ensure public safety and to address the public concerns.

ECOLOGICAL FfgT M
Mallards have an LDS, of 1485 mg/kg and chickens on
a dict of 100 ppm showed no effect on gro%Iih or feed
consumption- The LD,, for chickens is 948 mg/kg.
Bobwhite quail had an oral LCs, of 3497 pent and
phcacants 2639 pptn. Ninety pCrccnt of the dose to birds
was metabolized and cxcreted in 74 hours via urine (5).
Fish have 96 -hour LC,'.s ranging from 64 fig/l for
walleye, I01 for brown trout, 280 for cutthroat trout, 8650
for fithcad minnows and 10,700 for goldrush. Varinnt
aquatic insects are sensitive with EC„'s in the 1 to 10 jug/i
range. Whole body analysis of pinlish showed the
presence of malathion, mono- and di- carboxyiic acids but
no malaoxon (7).
ENVIRONNfFNTAL FATI:
Degradation in soil is rabid and rclatud to the dc�zce
of adsorption. Breakdown is a combination of biological
and non -biological hydrolysis. Ilreakdown half-life in clay
11 0 0022 p.l�il
plus argarrie maitcr was one day. In basic Coil, the half
time for the metabolin malaoxon was three days whereas
in acidic soil it was seven.
In raw river water, the half-life was less thin one
week, whereas malathion remained stable in distilled water
for thrcc weeks. Applied at 1- to 6 pounds/acre in Ing
ponds for mosquito control, it was effective for 2.5 to
6 weeks. In steriic seawater, the degradation increases
with increased salinity. The breakdown products in water
arc mono and di carboxylic acids. Malathion is not
included in the EPA pilot groundwatcr survey.
When a field of kale was sprayed at 2.5 pounds per
acre, after two days 10.9 ppm parent was present pitis
5.4 ppm unknown and 1.76 oxygen analog. After 15 days,
0.511 ppm parent remained, 0.6 ppm unknown and no
oxygen analog. Wheat grain exhibited residues mainly in
areas of high lipid content. Increased moisture content
increa.ed degradation with the wain products
desmethvlmalathion and the mono and di acids of
malathion. In a four-year average (1965.1969) the FDA
Market Basket Jttrn y showed an avGral6i; uIdjad;3tt
concentration in representative foods of 0.00013 ppm (5).
The tolerance on most food crops is 8 ppm.

II. SUMMARY OF THE LAW
The Cable Communications Policy Act of 19841
("the Act") was signed into law by President Reagan
on October 30, 1984 and became effective on December 29,
1984. A principal purpose of the Act is to "establish
guidelines for the exercise of Federal, State, and local
authority with respect to the regulation of cable
systems."
While there are many ways in which local
governments authorize and regulate cable systems, the
Act is intended to reach all forms of cable regulation.
For example, section 602(8) of the Act defines the term
"franchise" as including not only authorizations
designated as franchises, but also authorizations such
as permits, licenses, resolutions, contracts,
certificates, and agreements. The statutory definition
of "franchising authority" is similarly broad, and
encompasses "any governmental entity empowered by Federal,
State, or local law to grant a franchise."
As is often the case with federal legislation,
many of the provisions in the Act are subject to varying
interpretations, depending upon how the statutory language
and legislative purpose are construed. In many areas,
the Act either does not address or does not clearly
define the extent to which local jurisdictions may
exercise authority. Nor is it clear to what extent
a cable operator and a franchising authority may agree
on procedures which supplement those in the Act, or
whether a cable operator may waive the benefit of certain
provisions in the Act. Resolution of the waiver issue
may ultimately turn on how the courts balance the ability
of sophisticated parties to enter knowingly into
contractual agreements and, on the other hand, the public
interest in the effectuation of the comprehensive federal
regulatory policies reflected in the Act.'
Any discussion of the Act at this early point
in its history, including that contained in this
guidebook, necessarily reflects a preliminary'
interpretation and assessment of its probable impact.
Future interpretations by the courts wi<11 necessarily

Thus, crossownership provisions of existing franchises --
which often go beyond the prohibitions in section 613
(e.g., prohibitions against the crossownership of cable
systems by local newspapers, radio stations, or non -
local television stations) -- are no longer enforceable
under the terms of the Act.
3. Section 622 eliminates federal restrictions
on cable franchise fees up to 5 percent of gross revenues
derived from the operation of the cable system (calculated
on an annual basis), and also eliminates any federal
limitation on a franchising authority's use of franchise
fee revenues. Section 622 also permits prepayments
or deferrals of franchise fee payments, provided that
credit for the time value of money is reflected in such
arrangements. Section 622 prohibits franchise fees
in excess of five percent of gross revenues. Moreover,
for franchises granted on or before October 30, 1984,
section 622 expressly permits cash payments for public,
educational, or governmental access in addition to
5 percent franchise fees.
4. Regulation of rates under local franchises
is controlled by section 623 of the Act. In franchises
granted on or before December 29, 1984, franchising
authorities may continue to regulate basic service rates
until December 29, 19866 and may regulate the charges
for installation and converter rentals related to the
receipt of basic service. In all other circumstances
(i.e., new franchises, and existing franchises after
December 29, 1986), the regulation of basic service
will be allowed under the Act only to the extent that
the FCC determines, by regulation, that cable systems
in particular areas are not subject to effective
competition.
5. Section 625 establishes procedures and
requirements by which cable operators may obtain
modifications of franchise provisions pertaining to
services, facilities or equipment. The cable operator
must demonstrate that, in the case of facilities and
equipment, it has become "commercially impracticable"
to provide the facilities and equipment required by
the franchise. In the case of service �, the operator
must demonstrate that the mix, quality and level of
services after the modification will be the same as
aSection 602(2) of the Act defines basic cable service
s any service tier which includes the retransmission
of local television broadcast signals.
[Feb. 19851

2. In an RFP (or a request for renewal proposals)
a franchising authority may establish requirements for
facilities and equipment, but is expressly precluded
from establishing requirements for video programming
or other information services. A franchising authority
may nevertheless enforce requirements in a franchise
for facilities and equipment or for "broad categories"
of video programming or other services that result from
the operator's voluntary offers, but may not enforce
requirements for the provision of a specific programming
service. Section 624.
The foregoing general conclusions are explained
in greater detail in the section -by -section analysis
which follows.
B. Section -By -Section Analysis
The section -by -section analysis which completes
this overview is intended to highlight issues of
particular concern. Section III. of the guidebook
contains discussions of 18 subjects arising under the
Act, which provide a more detailed analysis of these
issues. The relevant subsections of Section III, of
the guidebook should be read in conjunction with this
overview in all cases in which more than an introductory
review of the requirements of a particular section in
the Act is sought. Throughout the guidebook, emphasis
has been placed on the kinds of specific challenges
and issues which are likely to arise as the Act is
implemented.
I. Section 601 -- Purposes
Section 601 defines the six basic purposes of
the Act as:
(1) establishing'a national cable policy;
(2) establishing franchise procedures and
standards which encourage the growth wand development
of cable systems and assure responsiveness to the needs
and interests of the local community;
(3) establishing guidelines for the exercise
of federal, state and local authority;
[Feb. 19851
II -7
permissible standards and procedures for awarding new
franchises.' In contrast, the Act does establish detailed
procedures and specific criteria governing the renewal
of franchises.10 The fact that Congress identified
establishing an orderly process for franchise renewal
as one of the principal purposes of the Act underscores
the importance of that process.
2. Section 602 -- Definitions
Section 602'defines a limited number of terms
that are used in the Act. In several important areas,
however, the Act does not establish definitions for
terms used in the statute (e._q., facilities and
equipment).
For the most part, the definitions employed in
the Act are consistent with those contained in prior
FCC rules. Where appropriate, the significance of various
definitions is noted in the discussion which follows
of specific substantive provisions of the Act.
Some definitions, however, merit particular
attention at the outset.
First, the definition of "cable service" includes
the one-way transmission to subscribers of video
programming or information that is made available to
all subscribers generally, and subscriber interaction
that is necessary for the selection of such programming.
Section 602(5). Thus, two-way services which involve
interaction beyond the minimum necessary for program
selection, for example, are not cable services under
the Act. Similarly, nonvideo services that are not
made available to all subscribers are not cable services.
As a result, noncable services (e.g., data transmission,
voice communications, and "shop -at-home") are generally
not governed by the provisions of the Act and, instead,
are subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC and state
public utility or public service commissions to the
same extent as similar services provided over a telephone
system. (The Act does not expressly preclude the FCC
from preempting or limiting state regulation of noncable
services.) 1

jurisdiction.i2 Specifically, the Act defines a cable
system as generally including any closed transmission
path facility that is designed to provide video
programming to multiple subscribers in a community.
Excluded from this definition, however, are: (1) systems
that only retransmit television broadcast station signals
and do not provide any other type of service; (2) systems
that do not use a public right-of-way and serve only
subscribers in one or more commonly owned, managed,
or controlled multiple unit dwellings; (3) most common
carriers; and (4) facilities used by electric utilities
solely for operating their electric utility systems.
Section 602(6).
Thus, by defining a cable system as a facility
which provides video programming, the Act adopts a broader
definition, in some respects, than the FCC's prior rules.
Those rules required a facility to distribute broadcast
television signals in order to constitute a cable system.
Similarly, prior FCC rules exempted cable systems with
fewer than SO subscribers from the definition of a -cable
system, while the Act does not. The inclusion in the
Act of other cable system facilities, such as satellite
master antenna television ("SMATV") systems that serve
subscribers in one or more commonly controlled multiple
unit dwellings and use public rights-of-way; also
represents an expansion of the concept of a cable system
into an area that was previously excluded by FCC
regulations.
On the other hand, the Act's definition of a
cable system specifically excludes facilities that only
retransmit broadcast signals, of which there are several
hundred in the United States. These systems are included
in the definition of cable systems under the FCC's prior
rules. However, these systems may now apparently be
regulated by local governments without restrictions
since neither Congress nor the FCC has limited local
regulation of these systems.
Fifth, the Act defines the term "franchise" to
clearly include any grant of authorization to construct
or operate a cable system, "whether such authorization
is designated as a franchise, permit, License, resolution,
contract, certificate, agreement, or otherwise."
Section 602(8). Hence, the applicability of the Act
will not turn upon how a franchising authority
characterizes the nature of its grant of permission
to construct or operate a cable system.
32 See Section III. A., infra.
[Feb. 1985]
educational or governmental use. Section 611(b). In
renewal situations, including renewal proceedings
conducted in accordance with section 626, 3s the
franchising authority may specify similar PEG requirements
regarding the cable operator's proposal for a franchise
renewal.
Significantly, section 611 does not impose any
numerical limitation upon the number of channels that
a franchising authority may require to be allocated
for PEG use."' However, at least with respect to
franchises granted after December 29, 1984, section 611(d)
requires franchising authorities to establish rules
and procedures to allow a cable operator to use PEG
access channels for the provision of'other services
during any fallow periods in which PEG channels are
not being used for PEG purposes, and rules and procedures
under which the temporary use of PEG channel capacity
by the operator must cease."
Except for limited circumstances in which -
section 624(d) of the Act authorizes restrictions on
obscene or similar programming, a cable operator may
not exercise any editorial control over the services
provided on channels designated for PEG use under
is See Section III. J., infra.
16 For a discussion of some of the practical
considerations a franchising authority should consider
in establishing PEG access requirements, see Section III.
B., infra.
;' This requirement was included in the Act in order
to address situations in some localities where there
is more channel capacity set aside for PEG use than
there is actual use of those channels. Committee Report
at 47. Because section 611(d) refers only to the use
of PEG channels set aside'in accordance with
section 611(b) (which arguably applies only to new
franchises or franchise renewals), and not to PEG channel
capacity set aside under the grandfathering provisions
of the Act (section 637), it could be argued that the
literal terms of the Act do not require the establishment
of those rules and procedures under existing franchises.
However, the Committee Report states that, in the case
of existing franchises, it is expected that the
franchising authority will develop rules covering the
use of unused PEG capacity expeditiously.
[Feb. 19851
II -13
The cable operator cannot control the content
of the programs provided by the commercial user, although
the operator may consider program content to the minimum
extent necessary to establish a reasonable price for
the commercial user's access to the channels.20
Section 612(c)(2). Section 612, while requiring the
cable operator to establish prices, terms, and conditions
which enhance diversity of information, also permits
the operator to take into account the possible adverse
effect of commercial use on the operation, financial
condition, or market development of the cable system.
Section 612(c)(1).
The number of channels which must be designated
for commercial use varies according to the total number
of "activated" channels on the cable system. "Activated
channels" are defined as those channels engineered at
the headend of the system for the provision of services
generally available to residential subscribers, regardless
of whether services are actually provided on those
channels, and specifically include channels designated
for PEG use (i.e., channels on institutional networks
and shadow cables are not regarded as activated channels
for purposes of determining the number of channels which
must be set aside for leased access use under
section 612).2;
Depending upon the number of activated channels
on the system, the requirements for the set aside of
channels for commercial use under section 612(b)(1)
are as follows:
a. Fewer than 36 activated channels: none,
unless required under the terms of a franchise in effect
on October 30, 1984.
20 For a discussion of the considerations that will
bear upon determination of reasonable rates for commercial
use by unaffiliated persons, see Section III. C., infra.
21 The term activated channels includes "dark" channels
(i.e., channels which, are not being used but which are
currently capable of being used). Committee Report
at 49. It does not, however, include "channel capacity
which the cable system might at some time in the future
be capable of delivering, but is potential channel
capacity that is not presently delivered to subscribers"
channels on a "shadow" cable). Id.
[Feb. 1985]
II -15
A person aggrieved by a cable operator's violation
of the requirements of section 612 (e.�., a commercial
user or potential commercial user) may bring an action
in the United States District Court for the judicial
district in which the cable system is located. If the
court finds a violation with respect to the failure
to set aside channel capacity as required under
section 612, or with regard to the price, terms or
conditions set by the operator, it may award actual
damages. Section 612(d).
After the adjudication of a violation of
section 612 by a cable operator, the aggrieved person
may also petition the FCC for relief in subsequent cases.
The FCC may order the operator to make the appropriate
channel capacity available under prices, terms, and
conditions that are consistent with section 612.
Section 612(e)(1). If the FCC finds a pattern or practice
of violations by the operator, it may establish rules
or orders which assure that the cable operator provides
the diversity of information required by section 612.
Section 612(e)(2), (3). However, the prices, terms
and conditions set by the cable operator for commercial
use will be presumed to be reasonable and established
in good faith, unless shown by clear and convincing
evidence to the contrary. Section 612(f).
At such time as cable systems with 36 or more
activated channels are available to 70 percent of American
households, and subscribed to by 70 percent of the
households passed, the FCC is authorized by section 612
to promulgate additional rules necessary to provide
diversity of information sources, regardless of other
Provisions of the Act which prevent cable systems from
being treated as common carriers and which limit the
regulation of rates. Section 612(g).
Section 612(h) provides that the provision of
cable service under section 612 may be prohibited, or
may be limited by conditions, if, in the judgment of
the franchising authority, the service is obscene, or
is in conflict with community standards in that it is
"lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent 11 or is otherwise

the broadcast station's signal.25 Section 613(a).
Common carriers: A telephone common carrier
is prohibited from providing:
(1) video programming to subscribers in
its telephone service area (section 613(b)(1)); or
(2) channel capacity or pole line or conduit
space to an entity which it owns or controls, if those
facilities are to be used for the provision of video
programming to subscribers in the telephone service
area of the common carrier. Section 613(b)(2).
The Act also establishes significant exceptions
to these prohibitions.
First, the restrictions on common carriers do
not apply to the provision of video programming to
subscribers by common carriers in telephone service
areas which are rural areas. The FCC is responsible
for defining "rural area." Section,613(b)(3)."
Second, the FCC may waive the common carrier
restrictions when justified by the circumstances, taking
into consideration the policy behind the restrictions
(i.e., preventing anticompetitive conduct by local
telephone companies or the cross -subsidization of cable
operations with revenues from telephone operations).
Section 613(b)(4). The legislative history in both
the House and the Senate evidences a strong commitment
to the policy that telephone companies should not provide
video programming directly to subscribers in their
telephone service areas. The legislative history also
2S The term ."grade B contour" is defined in the Act
as meaning the field strength of a television broadcast
station computed in accordance with FCC regulations.
Section 602(10). Under those regulations, the grade B
contour of a television -broadcast station refers to
the area in which 50 percent of the households are
theoretically able to receive the station's signal
90 percent of the time. 47 C.F.R.§ 73.683-84, 76.5.
26 This provision will necessitate changes in present
FCC rules which permit telephone company ownership of
a cable system in rural areas when "no cable television
system is under construction or in existence within
the proposed cable television service area." Committee
Report at 57.
[Feb. 1985]
II -19
6. Section 621 -- General FranchiseRequirements
Section 621 expressly authorizes franchising
authorities to award one or more franchises within their
jurisdictions. Section 621(a)(1). Indeed, except in
the case of cable operators that provided service without
a franchise on July 1, 1984, a franchise is now required
before a cable operator may provide cable service.
Sections 621(b)(1), (2).
In awarding a franchise, the franchising authority
is specifically directed to assure that access to cable
service is not denied to any group of -potential
subscribers based upon the income of residents in the
area where the group resides. Section 621(x)(3)."
Additionally, Congress clearly contemplated that
franchising authorities would look to qualifications
and employ selection criteria that are not expressly
set forth in the statute. In particular, the Committee
Report stated that:
"matters subject to state and local
authority include, to the extent not
addressed in the legislation, certain
terms and conditions related to the grant
of a franchise (e.g., duration of the
franchise term, delineation of the service
area), the construction and operation
of the system (e.g., extension of service,
safety standards, timetable for
construction) and the enforcement and
administration of a franchise (e._q_,
reporting requirements, bonds, letters
of credit, insurance and indemnification,
condemnation, and transfers of ownership).
Committee Report at 59.
Presumably, when Congress directed that local
governments be concerned about these and other matters,
it contemplated that franchising authorities would have
discretion to make judgments about which applicants

operators must build line extensions to every home in
a particular franchise area. 130 Cong. Rec. H10,441-42

discrimination on the basis of an area's average income.
[Feb. 1985]
II -21
7. Section 622 - Franchise Fees
Under section 622, cable operators may be required
by the terms of a franchise to pay a franchise. fee,
provided that the fee for any 12 -month period does not
exceed 5 percent of the cable operator's gross revenues
derived from operation of the cable system during that
period." Sections 622(a), (b). The fee need not be
tied, as a matter of federal law, to the cost of
regulation, and no FCC waivers will be required to
establish a 5 percent fee in the franchise.33 To the
extent that a franchise requires payment of a fee in
excess of 5 percent of the system's gross revenues,
the requirement is unenforceable."
The franchise may provide for prepayment of the
fee, or .permit payments to be deferred in order to collect
higher fees in the later years of a franchise, so long
as the total fee collected over the term of the franchise
does not exceed the amount, including the time value
of money, which could lawfully have been collected if
the fee had been paid on an annual basis. Section 622(b).
The Act does not specify how the time value of money
must be computed; a reasonable rate of interest presumably
[Footnote 31 continued from preceding page]
provision to require the filing of informational tariffs
for noncable services. For a more complete discussion
of the jurisdictional impact of the Act, see Section III.
A., infra.
32 The 12 -month period will be the period set forth
in the franchise for accounting purposes. Section 622(b).
33 Cable operators in various jurisdictions may
nevertheless contend that, as a matter of state or local
law, franchise fees may not exceed the reasonable costs
of regulation. See Section III. F., infra.
34 The relevant test, however, is 5 percent of
gross
revenues as defined by the Act. For example, a franchise
that called for 6 percent of "gross revenues," based
on a narrower definition, might, in practice, be fully
enforceable, because the resulting payment could still
be less than 5 percent of gross revenues as defined
in the Act.
[Feb. 1985]
I1-23
franchise requirements for the provision of services,
facilities or equipment." 130 Cong. Rec. H10,441 (daily
ed_ Oct. 1, 1984) (remarks of Rep. Wirth). Thus, any
PEG -related requirement properly established in accordance
with section 611 may be collected in addition to the
5 percent franchise fee.
Third, requirements or charges "incidental to
the awarding or enforcing of the franchise" are excluded
from the definition of a franchise fee.
Section 622(g)(2)(D). Specific examples of these
requirements in the Act are "payments for bonds, security
funds, letters of credit, insurance, indemnification,
penalties, or liquidated damages." Id.37
Fourth, the term franchise fee does not include
copyright fees imposed on the cable operator underthe
Copyright Royalty Act of 1976. Section 622(g)(2)(E).
Finally, although not included in the language
of the Act, it is clear from the legislative history
that voluntary contributions by the franchisee to a
public access -organization for the support of PEG access,
in addition to payments for the capital costs of
facilities and equipment, should not be counted against
the 5 percent fee. See Committee Report at 65; 130
Cong. Rec. H10,441 (daily ed. Oct. 1, 1984) (remarks
of Rep. Wirth and Rep. Bliley).38
To allow collection of the 5 percent fee from
channel lessees, who bill subscribers directly, the Act
provides that a franchising authority may impose a tax
or fee on persons (other than the cable operator) for
services provided over a cable system, for which payments
are made to the service provider instead of the cable
37 In appropriate situations, the costs of consultants,
experts, outside counsel and certain internal government
costs should be chargeable against the cable franchise
without any deduction from the permissible maximum fee.
See Section III. F., infra.
38 In new franchises, one method of minimizing any
risk that contributions or services provided by a cable
franchisee to an independent access entity will be offset
against the franchise fee may be to permit the access
entity, or a group of persons on its behalf, to enter
into a separate grant agreement with the cable operator,
wholly apart from the terms of the franchise agreement.
See Section III. B., infra.
[Feb. 19851
II -25
authority should be able to retain that amount.
Similarly, where payment has been discontinued by the
operator in reliance upon FCC rules, the franchising
authority is entitled to the discontinued payments,
or, presumably, to any payments which have been placed
in escrow. See 130 Cong. Rec. H12,241 (daily ed. Oct.
11, 1984) (remarks of Rep. Dingell). As expressed in
the legislative history, the outcome of disputes over
these payments should be resolved in accordance with
the original intent of the parties.41
Except as expressly provided in section 622,
the FCC is prohibited from regulating the amount of
franchise fees or regulating the use of funds derived
from such fees in the future. Section 622(i).
S. Section 623 -- Regulation of Rates
With respect to franchises granted after
December 29, 1984, section 623 provides that a franchising
authority may regulate rates for "basic cable service"
only in circumstances, which the FCC is required to
define by regulation, in which a cable system is not
subject to effective competition. The FCC is required
to prescribe final regulations which define the
circumstances in which a cable system is not subject
to effective competition, and establish standards for
rate regulation in those circumstances, within 180 days
after enactment of the Act (i.e., by April 28, 1985).
Section 623(b).
"Basic cable service" is defined in the Act as
"any service tier which includes the retransmission
of local television broadcast signals." Section 602(2).
Since this definition differs from prior FCC definitions
of basic cable service, some tiers which are now
classified as basic cable service, for purposes of the
Act, include services that previously were considered
nonbasic services under the terms of various
franchises."'
41 See Section III. F., infra.
42 A cable operator may not retier services in order
to separate services that do not constitute the
retransmission of local broadcast signals from basic
cable service, and thereby remove those services from
rate regulation, particularly during the two-year interim
period discussed below. Under section 625 of the Act
this is not permitted. Specifically, section 625(d)
[Footnote continued on following page]
[Feb. 1985]
11-27
1986). The legislative intent is clear that this two-
year period applies even if the existing franchise expires
during that time, and is renewed. See Committee Report
at 66-67.
However, if a state law in existence on
December 29, 1984 deregulates rates for basic service,
in whole or in part, the state law remains in.effect,
to the extent of that deregulation, until December 29,
1986. Section 623(g). If a state has such a law, only
those cable systems that are not deregulated or will
not become deregulated under the terms of the state
law are subject to the two-year period of rate regulation.
130 Cong. Rec. H12,236 (daily ed. Oct. 11, 1984).
Section 823 also provides that, during this two-
year transition period, a.franchising authority may,
to the extent provided in the franchise: (1) require
that a service tier be provided without charge (excluding
necessary installation or rental charges); and
(2) regulate initial installation charges and charges
for the rental of a single converter per household in
cases in which such equipment is necessary for a
subscriber to receive basic cable service.
Section 623(c).
To the extent that rate regulation is permitted,
franchising authorities must take final action within
180 days after receiving a request for a rate increase,
or the rate increase will automatically take effect
unless the franchising authority and the cable operator
have agreed to an extension of the 180 -day period.
Section 623(d).
Regardless of the other provisions of section 623,
a cable operator will enjoy, after December 29, 1984,
a right to increase rates up to 5 percent per year,"
unless the franchise establishes a fixed rate or
guaranteed rate. Section 623(e)(1). Section 623(e)(2)
grandfathers provisions of franchises granted on or
before December 29, 1984 which allow a cable operator
to increase basic service rates in its discretion.
However, section 623(e)(2) also provides that the
5 percent discretionary increase provided by
section 623(e)(1) will be reduced by -the amount of any
automatic increase taken under the provisions of a

is not taken in one year, it cannot be carried over
to the next.

9. Section 624 -- Regulation of
Services, Facilities and Equipment
With respect to franchises.granted after
December 29, 1984, including franchise renewals,
section 624 provides that the franchising authority
may establish, in its REP, requirements for facilities
and equipment that are related to the establishment
or operation of a cable system. 4' The franchising
authority may not, however, establish requirements for
video programming or other information services in the
RFP. Section 624(b)(1).
A franchising authority may also include cable -
related requirements in the franchise for facilities
and equipment and for broad categories of video
programming and other services,`'' and enforce those
requirements unless they are modified under section 625
or with the consent of the franchising authority. In
other words, RFP requirements and voluntary offers -made
by a cable operator in a proposal or which result from
franchise negotiations may be .reduced to enforceable
franchise provisions.
With respect to franchises in effect on
December 29, 1984, specific service requirements,
including requirements for the provision of particular
programming services, may be enforced by the franchising
`ie According to the Committee Report, requirements
quirements
for facilities and equipment which may be included in
an. RFP include requirements which relate to "channel
capacity; system configuration and capacity, including
institutional and subscriber networks; headends and
hubs; two-way capability; addressabili.ty; trunk and
feeder cable; and any other facility or equipment
requirement, which is related to the establishment and
operation of a cable system, including microwave
facilities, antennae, satellite earth stations, uplinks,
studios and production facilities, vans and cameras
for PEG use." Committee Report at 68.
°s The Committee Report refers to "children's
programming; programming in a particular foreign language;
programming which is [of] primary interest to a particular
minority group; news and public affairs programming;
[and] sports programming" as examples of broad categories
of video or other information programming. Committee
Report at 68-69.

may be regulated, in the provision of cable service,33
as a common carrier or as a utility.
The franchising authority and the cable operator
may specify in a franchise, however, that cable services
that are obscene or otherwise unprotected by the United
States Constitution may not be provided or will be
provided only under certain conditions.
Section 624(d)(1). Effective 180 days after the effective
date of the Act (i.e., on June 25, 1985), cable operators
are required to provide, by sale or lease, a device
by which the subscriber can prohibit viewing of a
particular cable service during selected times.S°
10. Section 625 -- Modification of
Franchise Obli ations
Section 625 permits operators to seek modifications
of two categories of franchise requirements: those
relating to "facilities and equipment," and those relating
to services. Different standards apply to the
modification of each category.
First, for both new and existing franchises,
section 625(a)(1)(A) provides that a cable operator
may obtain modifications with respect to franchise
63 Cable service is defined as video programming or
other information services available (but not necessarily
provided) to all subscribers generally, together with
subscriber interaction required to select or retrieve
the programming or information. On the other hand,
the nature and scope of permissible regulation of noncable
services (e.g., data transmission) is left unresolved
by the Act. State jurisdiction over the services, to
the extent it exists, is thus preserved. Significantly,
the legislation also left,undisturbed the potential
for FCC preemption of state regulation in this area.
A request for preemption is already pending before the
FCC. See Section III. A:, infra.
316
While it is not absolutely clear, provisions in
a number of franchises, which require that lock -out
boxes be provided without charge, mays -continue to be
enforceable under section 637, which grandfathers all
provisions of franchises in effect as of December 29,
1984 that are not inconsistent with specific provisions
of the Act. Cable operators may contend, however, that
such provisions, in effect, impose a form of rate
regulation in violation of section 623.
[Feb. 1985)
II -33
-- Microwave facilities
-- Antennae
-- Satellite earth stations
-- Uplinks
-- Studios and production facilities
-- Vans and cameras for PEG use
Committee Report at 68. Many franchise requirements
clearly are not covered by the term "requirements for
facilities and equipment." For example, provisions
which address franchise fees, rates, security funds,
and penalties would not be covered and therefore are
not subject to modification under section 625. In
addition, general procedural requirements, and general
regulatory requirements -- no matter how allegedly -
burdensome -- should not be covered. However, there
may be some uncertainty as to whether or not certain
franchise provisions, such as fines for failure to meet
construction deadlines, may be modified under
section 625(a)(1)(B).5s
Second, section 625(a)(1)(B) provides that a
cable operator may obtain modifications of the services
required by a franchise by demonstrating that the "mix,
quality, and level of services" required by the franchise
at the time it was granted will be maintained after
implementation of the proposed modification. A cable
operator may not obtain modification under section 625,
however, of any requirement for services relating to
PEG access. Section 625(e).5°
In addition to the foregoing modifications which
require specific showings by the cable operator and
the consent of the franchising authority, section 625
permits operators to make certain unilateral
modifications.
55 See Section III. I., infra.
Sr, For a discussion of the meaning of "service" and
"mix, quality and level of services" as used in
section 625, see Section III. I., infra.

II -35
notice of the adverse decision, in either the federal
court in the district in which the cable system is
located, or in any state court of general jurisdiction
having jurisdiction over the parties. The court may
award relief consistent with the provisions of
section 625. Sections 625(b), 635.
11. Section 626 -- Renewal
One of the express purposes of the Act is to
establish an orderly process for franchise renewal which
protects the cable operator against unfair denials of
renewal where the cable operator's past performance
and proposal for future performance meet the standards
established by the Act. However, the Act does not
establish a presumption in favor of renewal. Moreover,
although section 626 establishes standards and procedures
to be used in connection with consideration of renewal
requests, the section still permits the exercise of
considerable discretion as to whether to grant or deny
renewal.
The renewal procedure specified in section 626
must be commenced during the six-month period which
begins three years before the expiration of the
franchise." During that six-month period, the
franchising authority must, if the cable operator
requests, and may, on its own initiative, commence
proceedings in order to identify the future cable -related
needs and interests of the community and to review the
performance of the cable operator during the current
franchise term. Section 626(a). These proceedings must
afford the public in the franchise area appropriate
notice and an opportunity to participate.
After the completion of these initial proceedings,
either at the request of the franchising authority,
or on its own initiative, the cable operator may submit
a proposal for renewal. The franchising authority may,
in its request for a -renewal proposal, specify any
requirements that are permitted under various provisions
of the Act, such as sections 611, 624, or 632, including
Proposals for an upgrade of the cable system, and may
specify a date by which the renewal proposal must be
submitted.
ti
sa The Act contemplates that franchises will be granted
for fixed terms, usually between 10 and 15 years.
Committee Report at 25.
[Feb. 1985 ]
II -37
(4) whether the operator's proposal is reasonable
to meet the future needs and interests of the community,
taking into account the cost of meeting those needs.
Following the administrative proceeding, the
franchising authority must, based on the record of the
proceeding, issue a written decision granting or denying
the renewal proposal. The decision must state the reasons
on which it is based, and a copy of the decision must
be provided to the operator. If renewal is denied,
the decision must be based on one or more adverse findings
under the criteria listed above.
A franchising authority may not deny a renewal
proposal on the basis of the cable operator's failure
to comply with the material terms of a franchise or
inadequate performance: (1) in cases in which the
franchise violation or events reflecting an inadequate
performance occurred after December 29, 1984, unless
the franchising authority has given the operator notice
and an opportunity to cure the problems in question;
or (2) in cases in which the franchising authority had
earlier acquiesced to the conduct that it objects to
during the renewal proceeding, including cases in which
the franchising authority waived its right to object
prior to the enactment of the Act. Section 626(d).611
If the franchising authority makes a final
decision62 denying the operator's renewal proposal or
fails to act in accordance with the procedural
requirements of section 626, the cable operator may
file an action seeking judicial review in either the
United States District Court for any judicial district
in which the cable system is located or in any state
court of general jurisdiction having jurisdiction over
the parties. To obtain relief from a court, the cable
operator must demonstrate that the adverse finding of
61 This will require that franchising authorities be
especially careful not to take actions during the course
of a franchise term which could be construed as a waiver
of compliance with material terms of the franchise.
See Section III. J., infra.
62 A decision of a franchising authority on a proposal
for renewal is not considered final unless all
administrative review by the state (if any is permitted
under state law) has occurred or the opportunity for
such review has lapsed.
[Feb. 1985]
Ii -39
13. Section 631 --_-Privacy Protections
Section 631 contains a variety of provisions
and requirements which are intended to prevent the misuse
of information about individual subscribers by cable
operators. Section 631 reflects the concern of Congress
that:
"[c]able systems, particularly those
with a 'two-way' capability, have an
enormous capacity to collect and store
personally identifiable information about
each cable subscriber. Subscriber records
from interactive systems can reveal details
about bank transactions, shopping habits,
Political contributions, viewing habits
and other significant personal decisions."
Committee Report at 29.
At the time a cable operator initially provides
service to a subscriber, and at least once a year
thereafter, it must provide the subscriber with written
notice of the following:
(1) the nature of any "personally identifiable
information" 66 which has been or will be collected with
respect to the subscriber, and the use of that
information;
(2) the nature, frequency and purpose of any
disclosure which may be.made of personally identifiable
information, including the identification of the types
of persons to whom disclosure may be made;
(3) the time period in which the cable operator
will maintain this information;
(4) the time and place where the subscriber
may have access to the information;67 and
66 "Personally identifiable information" does not include
aggregate data which does not identify a particular
person. Section 631(a)(2).
67 The subscriber must have access to the information
at "reasonable" times and at a "convenient" place
designated by the cable operator. The subscriber must
also be given a "reasonable" opportunity to correct
any error in the information. Section 631(d).
[Feb. 198s
II -41
A cable operator must destroy personally
identifiable information which is no longer needed for
the purpose for which it was originally collected unless
there is a pending request or order for subscriber access
to the information under section 631(d), discussed above,
or pursuant to.a court order. Section 631(e).
Any person aggrieved by a cable operator's
violation of section 631 may bring a civil action in
a United States District Court. The court may award:
(1) actual damages, but not less than liquidated damages
of $100 per day for each violation or $1,000, whichever
is greater; (2) punitive damages; and (3) reasonable
attorneys' fees and other litigation costs.
Section 631(f).
States and franchising authorities may also enact
and enforce laws consistent with -section 631 to protect
subscriber privacy. Section 631(8). The remedies
provided under section 631 are in addition to any other
lawful remedies available to the subscriber.
Section 631(f)(3).
14. Section 632 -- Consumer Protection
Section 632 permits a franchising authority to
require and enforce, to the extent consistent with the
Act, franchise provisions regarding customer service
issues, construction schedules, and other "construction -
related requirements." In addition, states and
franchising authorities may enact or enforce their own
consumer protection laws, provided that those laws are
not inconsistent with other provisions of the Act.
The customer service requirements which may be
enforced under section 632 refer to requirements
incidental to the "direct business relation between"
a cable operator and a subscriber and may include, among
others, requirements related to "interruption of service;
disconnection; rebates and credits to consumers; deadlines
to respond to consumer requests or complaints; the
location of the cable operator's consumer service offices;
and the provision to customers (or potential customers)
of information on billing or services." Committee Report
at 79.
Most franchises have numerous provisions which
address "construction -related requirements," and
section 632 provides an enforcement mechanism for these
[Feb. 19851
II -43
16. Section 634 -- Equal Employment Opportunity
Section .634 essentially codifies current FCC
Policies regarding the equal employment opportunity
responsibilities of cable operators. 71 Systems with
50 or more subscribers are required to establish and
maintain an equal employment opportunity program. Systems
with more than five employees must file an annual report
with the FCC identifying by race and sex the number
Of full-time and part-time employees in nine different
job categories. Failure to comply can result in $200
per day fines, suspension of CARS band microwave licenses,
and public notice of noncompliance.
Section 634 applies to any entity engaged primarily
in the management or operation of a cable system. For
purposes of section 634, the term "cable operator"
includes any operator of a satellite master antenna
television system, but does not include an operator
of any system which serves fewer than 50 subscribers.
Sections 634(h)(1), (2).72
Section 634 provides that equal employment
opportunity must be afforded by each covered entity,
and that no person may be discriminated against because
of race, color, religion, national origin, age -or sex.
Section 634(b). Additionally, every entity covered
by section 634 must establish, maintain and execute
a positive, continuing program of specific practices
designed to ensure equal employment opportunity in every
aspect of its policies and practices.73
Within 270 days of the effective date of the
Act (i.e., by September 25, 1985), the FCC must prescribe
71 While both cable operators and MSO headquarters
must establish written equal employment opportunity
plans, Congress clarified that the failure to employ
members of minority groups or women at prescribed parity
levels would not in itself constitute a violation of
the Act.
72 If the owner of an SMATV system is also the owner
of a multiple dwelling unit, section 634 only applies
to its employees primarily engaged in cable -related
work. Section 634 does apply, however, to all cable
operators, as defined, whether the franchise was granted
before or after the date of enactment of the Act.
73 See Section 1II, 0., infra.
[Feb. 1985]
II -45
the operator's ability to obtain renewal or transfer
ownership of the system. However, willful or repeated
violations may be grounds for denying renewal of a
franchise. Committee Report at 91-92.
Section 634 provides that states and franchising
authorities -may establish or enforce any requirements
consistent with the requirements in section 534, and
may also establish any provision requiring or encouraging
cable operators to conduct business with minority-owned
or controlled groups or local businesses. Additionally,
franchising authorities may enforce any requirement
of a franchise in effect on December 29, 1984, and the
remedies and enforcement provisions of section 634 are
in addition to those available under other laws.
Section 634(1).
17. Section 635 -- Judicial Proceedings
If a franchising authority makes a final
determination adverse to the cable operator in a
modification proceeding under section 625, or with respect
to a renewal proceeding under section 626, the cable
operator may commence an action seeking review in a
court within 120 days after receiving notice of the
decision. The action may be brought in either the United
States District Court for the district in which the
cable system is located, or in a state court of general
jurisdiction which has jurisdiction over the parties.76
18. Section 636 -- Coordination of
Federal, State, and Local Authorit
Section 636 clarifies that the Act does not affect
the authority of states and localities regarding matters
of public health, safety and welfare, to the extent
consistent with the express provisions of the Act.
In other words, a local government retains general police
Powers, except where specific provisions of the Act
limit those powers.
Section 636 provides that states may continue
to exercise jurisdiction over cable services -- again,
to the extent consistent with the Act. On the other
hand, section 636 states that state cr local laws and
franchise provisions which are inconsistent with the
Act are preempted and superseded by the Act.
Section 636(c).
's The standards which the reviewing court must apply
are set forth, respectively, in sections 625 and 626.

II -47
Rather, the authoriti of states and localities is not
affected by the Act or any other provision of the
Communications Act of 1934. See 130 Cong. Rec. 514,289
(daily ed. Oct. 11, 1984).
21. Section 639 -- Obscene'Pro rammin
Section 639 makes the transmission over a cable
system of obscene material, or material that is "otherwise
unprotected by the Constitution of the United States,"
a federal crime. Such transmissions are punishable
by a fine of up to $10,000, or imprisonment for up to
two years, or both.
The intent of section 639 is to make unlawful,
to the maximum practicable extent, obscene or similarly
lewd or indecent material. Rather than barring indecent
materials, however, Congress chose to more generally
prohibit, in addition to obscene programming, programming
which is "otherwise unprotected by the Constitution
of the United States." In enforcement actions under
section 639, which would be brought by the United States
Attorney for the applicable jurisdiction, a likely issue
will be whether the section adequately defines the offense
for purposes of criminal prosecution.79
22. Miscellaneous Provisions
. In addition to creating a new Title VI to the
Communications Act of 1934, the Act adds several other
new provision to the Communications Act.
a. Pole Attachment Fees
Section 4 of the Act addresses the authority
of states to regulate pole attachments, through an
amendment to section 224(c) of the Communications Act
of 1934. In essence, this provision strengthens the
federal pole attachment law by requiring .states that
assert jurisdiction to establish rules and regulations
for pole attachments and effective procedures to resolve
79 See Section III. Q., infra. The legislative history
indicates that Congress intended the prohibitions against
"obscene" and "otherwise: unprotected" programming to
be separate and severable, and that the prohibition
against obscenity should remain in effect even if the
prohibition against "otherwise unprotected" programming
is overturned by the courts. See 130 Cong. Rec. H12,243
(daily ed. Oct. 11, 1984).
[Feb. 1985]
s

of direct or indirect commercial advantage or financial
gain may be fined up to $25,000, or imprisoned for up
to one year, or both for the first conviction. For
subsequent convictions, the person may be fined up to
$50,000, or imprisoned for up to two years, or both.
Moreover, any person who imports, manufactures, sells
or distributes equipment with the intent that it be
used to assist activity that is prohibited under
section 705 will be subject to the same penalties as
any other violator of section 705.
A person that is aggrieved by a violation of
section 705 may also commence a civil action in a United
States District Court or in any other court of competent
jurisdiction. The court may grant appropriate relief,
including injunctive relief, costs (including reasonable
attorneys' fees to an aggrieved party who prevails),
and damages.
As aggrieved person may elect to collect either
actual or statutory damages under section 705(d)(3)(C)(i).
If the aggrieved party elects actual damages, it may
also recover the profits of the violator attributable
to the violation which are not included in actual damages.
With respect to the violator's profits, the aggrieved
party must only prove the violator's gross revenue.
The violator must then prove deductible expenses and
the amount of profit attributable to factors other than
the violation.
Statutory damages for each violation may be
assessed of not less than $250 or more than $10,000,
as the court considers just and proper.
Additionally, if the court finds that the violation
was willful and for purposes of direct or indirect
commercial advantage or private financial gain, it may
increase the award of damages up to $50,000. Conversely,
if the court finds that the violator did not know and
had no reason to believe that his acts were a violation
of section 705, it may reduce the award of damages to
as little as $100. .
Section 705 does not prevent
from enacting or enforcing any laws
the importation, sale, manufacture
equipment by persons who intend to

FROM: RONALD L. KRANZER, CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: INTERSECTION OF DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD AND. GRAND AVENUE
The City Council at their last regular meeting of March 6, 1990, requested staff to review the
concept of the proposed double left turn pockets on Diamond Bar Boulevard to determine if it was
feasible to have the southbound left turn movement retain the single left turn lane rather than the
previously approved concept of two lanes.
We have again reviewed existing and projected volumes and feel strongly that a double left turn
lane is necessary as the storage area in the existing pocket will be inadequate for peak hours and
would cause vehicles to block the number one through lane and increase the potential for rear end
accidents. To increase the storage of the existing left turn lane would effect the storage of the
left turn lane just immediately north of the subject location as well as increasing the cycle length.
The purpose of the double left turn lanes is two fold; it provides for greater capacity while
minimizing the green time phase for the protected movement. The cycle length at this intersection
is critical and the double left turn pockets will allow for optimum timing strategies.
We also realize the necessity to have aesthetically pleasing street scape and will make every
attempt possible to effect that aspect in the remaining median areas.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council reaffirm their position of approval of the concept of double
left turn pockets on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Grand Avenue.

FROM: RONALD L. KRANZER, CITY ENGINEERA*<.
SUBJECT: GRAND AVENUE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS
The attached "Gantt Chart" depicts the scheduling of various proposed improvements along the
Grand Avenue corridor in anticipation of the opening of Grand Avenue into Chino Hills.
The traffic signal improvements are moving along on a modified "fast track" program wherein the
long lead time for delivery of poles is being minimized by ordering them separately and in advance
of final plans,
At the present time the poles for Diamond Bar Boulevard at Grand Avenue are to be considered
for award of purchase at the meeting of March 20, 1990 and three, other intersections; Longview,
summit Ridge and Shotgun are scheduled for April. Two other intersections, Montifino (Fire Station)
and Rolling Knoll are in the final stage of preliminary design with concept considerations to be
presented to the City Council in April.
All of the traffic improvements set forth in the "schedule" with the exception of those at Golden
Springs Road are proposed for completion by September 1, 1990 - the scheduled date of opening
Grand Avenue to Chino Hills.
With regard to the opening of Grand Avenue to Chino Hills the attached Construction Schedule of
Chino Hills Parkway prepared by the office of the Chino Hills Manager still indicates a completion
date of September 1, 1990, even though the project is presently behind schedule. There are
provisions within the existing and future contracts to accelerate the construction and I am sure that
the provisions will be implemented as weather permits.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: John Forbing, Councilman
SUBJECT: Recycling Policy
DATE: March 15, 1990
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council establish a general recycling
policy based on the Los Angeles Region's overall solid waste
management strategy which will help fulfill the requirements of the
California. Integrated Solid Waste Act of 1989 (AB 939).
FISCAL ANALYSIS•
The establishment of a policy itself will have no fiscal impact.
However, as the City becomes more involved with the implementation
of the policy, there will be costs related to recycling, public
education, purchasing recycled items and implementation of the
Solid Waste Act.
BACKGROUND•
The solid waste disposal crisis is literally affecting all cities
in the nation. With the Governor's signature on AB 939, recycling
is now the law in California. The City of Diamond Bar, along with
the County and other cities in the region, is involved in
implementing a region --wide program to meet the requirements of the
new law and to conserve natural resources.
The attached policy establishes a basic strategy and framework for
the recycling effort to be established in the near future. This
effort will include a proposed curbside program, a public
information program, grant applications, and other efforts to
divert solid waste from the landfills.
With a general recycling policy established, staff will be able to
proceed with the process of implementing various programs. The
policy is a positive indication that the City is supportive of
recycling.

RECYCLING POLICY FOR THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County region has reached a crisis situation in the
area of landfill disposal capacity. As a result of an increase in
per capita solid waste generation rate and continuing increases in
population, Los Angeles County's landfill capacity is being
exhausted at a much faster rate than was anticipated.
Additionally, public resistance to the expansion of existing
landfills, or to the citing of new landfills and resource recovery
facilities, is adding to the difficulty in resolving the crisis.
The need for landfills as part of the Region's solid waste system
will continue for the foreseeable future. It is necessary,
therefore, to optimize the use of our remaining disposal capacity,
by reserving the capacity for the disposal of materials for which
there are no viable disposal alternatives, and seeking new
alternatives.
The recycling of solid wastes through source separation and
mechanical separation programs offers the potential for diverting
significant amounts of waste from landfill disposal. Additionally,
recycling programs can be implemented in less time and at a lower
capital cost than traditional solid waste management facilities.
It is important, however, to recognize that recycling, by itself,
cannot dispose of the Region's entire waste stream, and does not
eliminate the need for other means of disposal.
Recycling should play an increasingly important role in the overall
solid waste management- strategy, since it can divert materials from
landfill disposal, conserve energy and natural resources, preserve
open space and create employment opportunities. In developing a
recycling policy it is important to consider the limitations on
recycling caused by fluctuating markets, changes in waste stream
composition and in recycling strategy.
PURPOSE
Because of the many benefits which can be derived from an effective
recycling program, it is important that a strong "recycling ethic"
be developed and supported by the City Council, staff and the
citizens of Diamond Bar. The purpose of this policy is to express
the City's commitment to recycling as an integral part of the
Region's comprehensive solid waste management strategy and to
provide guidance in the development and implementation of a City
wide recycling program.
POLICY
To the extent that a significant portion of the solid wastes
currently disposed of in Los Angeles County landfills are not truly
"wastes," but are actually recoverable resources, it is the policy
of the Diamond Bar City Council that the City shall actively
support a comprehensive recycling program to optimize the recovery
and reuse of materials. The City's impact on the recycling of
solid wastes varies with the degree of its involvement in recycling
activities. The policy of the City in these areas is as follows:
A. Recycling Goal
It is the goal of the City that a comprehensive recycling
program be developed and implemented for the purpose of
recycling 25 percent of the solid wastes generated in the
City of Diamond Bar by January 1, 1995 in agreement with
the standards established by the provisions of the
California Integrated Solid Waste Act of 1989.
B. Recycling Implementation Plan
To achieve the 25 percent recycling goal, an action plan
shall be developed in the following areas:
1. Public Education
The degree of success in recycling programs, as
measured by the level of participation and the
amount of material recycled, is directly
proportional to the quantity and quality of
recycling information to the citizens of Diamond
Bar. It is the City's policy to educate the
citizens and encourage the implementation of and
participation in recycling programs.
2. Public Convenience
It is the policy of the City that the convenience
of the public participation in recycling programs
be taken into consideration in the design of
recycling programs.
3. Recycling Programs
It is the policy of the City to encourage the
initiation and development of recycling programs in
cooperation with other governmental agencies and
the private sector which include, but are not
limited to:
a. Residential source separation collection
programs for single and multi -family dwellings
b. Commercial/industrial recycling programs
C. Composting
d. Recycling Centers
Materials within the waste stream that are to be
targeted for recycling to the extent technically,
economically and environmentally feasible shall
include, but not be limited to:
a. All classes of paper
b. Glass
C. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
d. Plastics
e. Household and commercial goods
f. Construction and demolition materials
g. Plant debris and landscaping materials
h. Inert materials such as pavement, rocks and
tires
To the extent economically and operationally
feasible, the City will actively pursue the
recycling of materials from its daily operations,
particularly in the area of paper and automotive
products. Additionally, the City will continue to
support programs which are effective methods for
reducing the amount of materials sent to the
landfills.
4. City Purchasing Practices
The City will examine its purchasing specifications and
modify them to allow the use of and give preference to
products produced from recycled materials. The City
encourages purchasing items that can be reused and easily
recycled. The City will establish a written policy for
the purchase of recycled items. The maximum use of post-
consumer waste content shall be used.
5. Recycling Economics
It is the policy of the City to consider recycling
programs as alternatives to existing solid waste
management and disposal programs and, as such, recycling
programs shall not be expected to operate solely on
revenues generated from the sale of recovered materials.
In evaluating the costs of recycling programs,
consideration shall be given to the quantities of
materials diverted from landfill disposal and the
marginal costs of traditional collection and disposal
methods.
6. Legislation
It is the policy of the City to support State and Federal
legislation that encourages recycling, removes barriers
to recycling, provides funding for local recycling
programs, or promotes waste reduction. At the same time,
the City will oppose legislation which would reduce local
control and autonomy in dealing effectively with solid
waste management.
7. Rel tionship to Comprehensive Solid Waste Management
Program
While recycling in an important element in the City's and
County's waste management strategy, it is important to
recognize that recycling will not eliminate the need for
other environmentally safe and economically sound
disposal technologies, facilities and programs in the
comprehensive program for the management and disposal of
the Region's solid waste.
8. Recycling Program Review
Council will review the City's progress in the
implementation of the recycling programs and the
achievement of the recycling goals identified in this
policy on an annual basis.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: John Forbing, Councilman
SUBJECT: Purchasing Policy: Recycled Products
DATE: March 15, 1990
RECOMMENDATION•
It is recommended that City Council establish by resolution a
purchasing policy for recycled products.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Recycled items usually cost between 10 and 30 percent more than
virgin material items. The main impact of this policy will be in
the area of paper procurement.
DISCUSSION:
Los Angeles County, the State of California, and the nation
generally has reached a crisis situation in the area of solid waste
disposal. Recycling efforts are rapidly expanding locally and
regionally. However, the. markets for recycled items are decreasing
because of gluts resulting from an over abundance of recycled
materials.
A good example of market glut is in the area of recycling old
newspapers (ONP). Last April, the average price paid for ONP was
$48 per ton. This recently dropped to $20 per ton and is expected
to drop to $5 per ton. Some recyclers are having a difficult time
in finding a market for ONP. This situation also applies to
recycled glass.
The problem is basically a supply and demand issue --there is an
abundant supply, but demand has been low. To help alleviate this
situation, many organizations including government agencies are
establishing policies to purchase recycled paper and other items.
Staff is beginning to look at recycled products as alternatives.
The attached resolution and purchasing policy will provide clear
direction to staff in the procurement of recycled products.

DATE: March 14, 1990 MEETING DATE: March 20, 1990
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: City Manager
FROM: Joann M. Saul, Financial Management Assistant
SUMMARY:
As stated in the "Request for Proposal for the Collection and Disposal of
Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Garbage and Rubbish" a proposer's
meeting was held at the Walnut Valley Unified School District Board Room on
March 13, 1990. The meeting was held so that the prospective proposers.could
question and comment on the Request for proposal. Numerous points were
raised during the meeting to which Mr. Van Nort and myself were unable to
respond.
Upon completion of the meeting, a memorandum was sent to Andy Arczynski's
office for his opinion on the points in question. The following are the
elements inquired about and the City Attorney's and Staff's responses:
1. On page 11 (,agreement) there is reference to an "Exhibit E - Fleet
Replacement Schedule", who's responsibility is the schedule?
* The Fleet Replacement Schedule is to be provided by the proposer as
part of the proposal.
2. After the award of the franchise, can the haulers who decide to remain
in the area for the five (5) year period decrease/increase their rates?
* This is not a question pertaining to the submission of proposals.
This question can be discussed and decided upon at a future date.

3. Can the requirements that need to be met by haulers who continue to
operate in the area during the 5 year phase out period be clarified?
* Same as above.
4. Is residential, commercial, and industrial pickup mandatory in the City of
Diamond Bar?
* Yes.
5. What happens to the successful proposer's Proposer's Bond?
* Upon signing of the contract the bond will be returned.
6. Clarify the definition of:
a. Residential -"Each place used for residential purposes, including the
following, but not restricted to: Single-family dwellings, multi-
family dwellings, apartments and/or condominiums containing four units
or less, townhouses, mobile home parks, and trailer courts, whether or
not utilizing dumpster-type bins, but not including hospitals,
convalescent homes, hotels, and motels." (Page 6 - Ordinance)
b. Commercial- "Buildings, structures, and areas used principally for
business, commercial or industrial purposes, and including the
following: hotels, motels, apartment buildings containing more than
four apartments, condominium buildings containing more than four
condominiums, and including all other places that are not defined as
residential units. (Page 3 - Ordinance)
C. industrial- Synonymous with commercial.
7. Age of the equipment to be used
* "Contractor agrees to place into service new vehicles, meeting all
requirements therefore set forth in the specifications..." (Page 11 -
Contract)
Other areas of question brought to staff's attention include:
1. Type of collection- Automated versus Manual:
Concern was expressed in this area because of the cost differential in
the two methods (especially initial outlay costs). It is felt by
staff that the idea behind the Request for Proposal was to see what
kind of responses would be received by the various proposers and that
Council had not made a final determination of the method of collection
desired. It is staff's position that all proposers should have the
option of submitting two proposals, one for automated collection, one
for manual. This option will permit the selection committee, and
Council, to compare "apples to apples" when making a determination.
2. Type of Franchise- Exclusive versus Non Exclusive
In order to figure their costs more accurately, it was felt by the
proposers that it was necessary to know if one or more companies would
t
Page Three
be parties to the final contract. In consulting the City Attorney on the
matter, staff determined that this information was not required for
preparation of the proposal. It will be Council's determination after the
proposals are received to determine if the City should have an exclusive or
non-exclusive franchise.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize staff to prepare an addendum to the R.F.P. covering the topics of
concern as presented to be mailed to the various proposers or as an
alternative prepare modifications as necessary.
2. Extend submission date to April 20, 1990 at 3:00 p.m.

SUBJECT: COLIMA ROAD - WESTERLY CITY LIMIT TO BREA CANYON ROAD INCLUDING
INTERSECTION OF GONA COURT (CROSS KEYS COMMUNITY) - TI # 113
The Traffic and Transportation Committee considered these two matters at their regular meetings
of February 1 and March 1, 1990. The issues were blocking of Gona Court during peak hours and
the need for additional traffic lanes and no parking areas in the vicinity of Brea Canyon Road and
On-off ramps of the Pomona Freeway.
While the problem of blocking of ingress and egress from Gona Court has been on going, the
recent addition of left turn phasing of the traffic signal system on Colima Road at the on-off ramps
has further exacerbated the situation. And with the general increase of traffic volumes it is
necessary to add additional traffic lanes to accommodate an efficient flow of traffic in the subject
area.
To improve the Gona Court situation it has been recommended to provide a "right turn lane only"
for east bound Colima Road in advance of Gona Court and then for the remaining curb lane to
Brea Canyon Road, establish a "right -turn lane only" which will allow right turns into the shopping
center and a "right -turn lane only" at the intersection of Brea Canyon Road. In addition to the
"right -turn only" lane for Gona Court a standard DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION sign is proposed.
To effect the necessary lane additions and designations it will be necessary to prohibit on street
parking on Colima Road between the westerly City limit and Brea Canyon Road.

SUBJECT: OVERNIGHT PARKING OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
The Traffic & Transportation Committee (T&TC) did consider the subject matter at their regular
meeting of March 1, 1990, relating to the problem of overnight parking of commercial vehicles on
City streets.
While this problem is not major at this point, there has been observed an increase in the past year
and the Committee together with the staff felt that it was better to address the problem now rather
than wait until it becomes a major problem.
Also in the case of the truck weight limitations, 10,000 pounds was determined to be the weight
for consideration in this matter.
The Committee recommends that the Sheriff's Department begin to enforce, for commercial vehicles,
the already existing 30 minute parking limitations between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. The City Attorney
has also prepared an Ordinance for your consideration regarding overnight parking restrictions for
commercial vehicles in residential zones.
RECOMMENDATION;
It is recommended that the Traffic & Transportation Committee's recommendation of enforcement
of 30 minute parking restrictions between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. be approved by the City Council and
further that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. prohibiting and restricting parking of
commercial vehicles in residential areas.

SUBJECT: TRUCK ROUTES (TRAFFIC INVESTIGATION NO. 112A)
The Traffic and Transportation Committee at their regular meeting of March 1, 1990, did consider
the matter of Truck Routes in the City of Diamond Bar. The entirety of this review was an
outgrowth of the City Council's concern of truck traffic on Grand Avenue in connection with the
opening of Grand Avenue to Chino Hills and to Industry north of Pomona Freeway.
The Committee's review considered the entire City with reference to appropriate routing and
restrictions of truck traffic.
Due to the uniqueness of Diamond Bar's street patterns and the configuration and proximity of the
57 and Pomona Freeways it was the Committee's finding that truck traffic could be prohibited on
all but a few streets without having an adverse effect upon commercial and industrial businesses
both within Diamond bar and adjoining areas.
The Committee also found that a 10,000 pound gross weight limitation was the most appropriate
limitation.

Truck Routes
The exceptions to the restrictions are as follows:
► Lemon Avenue - Colima Road to Northerly City Boundary
► Colima Road - Lemon Avenue to Brea Canyon Road
► Brea Canyon Road - Colima Road to Northerly City Boundary
► Diamond Bar Boulevard - Pomona Freeway northerly to 500 feet north of Sunset Crossing
Road
Note: The exception for the short stretch on Diamond Bar Blvd. is to allow for the
connection from westbound Pomona Freeway to northbound 57 Freeway and for errant
trucks to re-enter the freeway system.
The proposed weight restriction does not preclude "Commercial vehicles coming from an
unrestricted street having ingress and egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when
necessary for the purpose of making pickups or delivery of goods, wares, and merchandise from
or to any building or structure located on the restricted street or for the purpose of delivering
materials used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling, or construction of any
building or structure upon the restricted street for which a building permit has previously been
obtained" - Section 35703, California Vehicle Code.
To effect the above described restrictions will require the installation of both restrictive and advisory
signs at various locations. See Exhibit "A". It is estimated that the signage for the program will
cost about $2,500.00.
There will also, need to be coordination and cooperation with adjacent jurisdictions for possible
placement of required signs within their right-of-way.
San Bernardino County has previously adopted weight restrictions for many of the streets in Chino
Hills including those portions of Grand Avenue and Chino Hills Parkway that join with Diamond Bar.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the findings of the Traffic & Transportation
Committee prohibiting the use of City streets by any commercial vehicle or by any vehicle
exceeding a maximum gross weight limit of 10,000 pounds except for portions of the following
listed streets;

and further, that the City Council instruct staff to prepare the necessary Ordinance, provide for the
necessary noticing and set the matter for public hearing.

Chapter 22.72
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
22.72.010 Purpose and Intent.
A. This Chapter establishes the review procedures for
residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional
development proposals to facilitate project development review in
a timely and efficient manner; to ensure that development
projects comply with all applicable local design guidelines,
standards, and ordinances; to minimize adverse effects on
surrounding properties and the environment; and are consistent
with the general plan which promotes high aesthetic and
functional standards to complement and add to the physical,
economic, and social character of Diamond Bar.
B. The City finds that a development review process
will support the implementation of the general plan, as it
stresses quality community design standards. The City further
finds that the quality of residential, institutional, commercial,
and industrial uses has a substantial impact upon the visual
appeal, environmental soundness, economic stability, and property
values of the City. This Chapter is not intended to restrict
imagination, innovation or variety, but rather to focus on
community design principles which can result in creative,
imaginative solutions for the project and a quality design for
the City. It is, therefore, the purpose of this Chapter to:
(1) Recognize the interdependence of land values
and aesthetics and provide a method by which the City may
implement this interdependence to its benefit;
(2) Encourage the orderly and harmonious
appearance of structures and property within the City along with
associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas,
and streets;
(3) Maintain the public health, safety and
general welfare, and property throughout the City;
(4) Assist developments to be more cognizant of
public concerns for the aesthetics of development;
(5) Reasonably ensure that new developments,
including residential, institutional, commercial and industrial
developments, do not have an adverse aesthetic, health, safety or
architecturally related impact upon existing adjoining
properties, or the City in general;
1
EXHIBIT "A"
(6) Implement those sections of the City's
general plan for the preservation and enhancement of the
character and unique assets of the City and its harmonious
development;
(7) Minimizing the effects of grading by
discouraging mass grading and excessive slopes to ensure that the
natural character of terrain is retained;
(8) Preserving significant topographic features,
including rock outcroppings, native plant materials and natural
hydrology while also encouraging improved drainage from lots
directly to a street, storm drain, or through public or privately
maintained easement;
(9) Limiting the impact of slopes on adjacent
developed properties and limit construction on identified seismic
or geologic hazard areas;
(10) Encouraging the use of a variety of housing
styles, split-level grading techniques, varied lot sizes, site
design densities, maintenance of views and arrangement and
spacing to accomplish grading policies;
(11) To encourage orderly development of
residences within areas more readily served by public services;
(12) To encourage the development of master
planned projects which provide the service needs of the residents
of those projects;
(13) To encourage use of energy conservation
techniques in new developments.
22.72.020 Projects Requiring Development Review.
A. An application for Development Review is required
for any and all commercial, industrial, institutional
development, and any residential project which proposes five

or have a minimum ten thousand square feet in gross floor area;
(4) Projects involving a substantial change or
intensification of land use, such as the conversion of an
existing building to a restaurant, or the conversion of a
residential structure to an office or commercial use.
B. Projects of a limited size and scope which do not
meet the above criteria shall require an application for
Administrative Development Review pursuant to Section 22.72.060.

Chapter 22.72
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
22.72.410 Pu�ose and Intent.
A. This Chapter establishes the review procedures for
residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional
development proposals to facilitate project development review in
a timely and efficient manner; to ensure that development
projects comply with all applicable local design guidelines,
standards, and ordinances; to minimize adverse effects on
surrounding properties and the environment; and are consistent
with the general plan which promotes high aesthetic and
functional standards to complement and add to the physical,
economic, and social character of Diamond Bar.
B. The City finds that a development review process
will support the implementation of the general plan, as it
stresses quality community design standards. The City further
finds that the quality of residential, institutional, commercial,
and industrial uses has a substantial impact upon the visual
appeal, environmental soundness, economic stability, and property
values of the City. This Chapter is not intended to restrict
imagination, innovation or variety, but rather to focus on
community design principles which can result in creative,
imaginative solutions for the project and a quality design for
the City. It is, therefore, the purpose of this Chapter to:
(1) Recognize the interdependence of land values
and aesthetics and provide a method by which the City may
implement this interdependence to its benefit;
(2) Encourage the orderly and harmonious
appearance of structures and property within the City along with
associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas,
and streets;
(3) Maintain the public health, safety and
general welfare, and property throughout the City;
(a) Assist developments to be more 'cognizant of
public concerns for the aesthetics of development;
(a) Reasonably ensure that new developments,
including residential, institutional, commercial and industrial
developments, do not have an adverse aesthetic, health, safety or
architecturally related impact upon existing adjoining
properties, or the City in general;
1
(6) Implement those sections of the City's
general plan for the preservation and enhancement of the
character and unique assets of the City and its harmonious
development;
(7) Minimizing the effects of grading by
discouraging mass grading and excessive slopes to ensure that the
natural character of terrain is retained;
(8) Preserving significant topographic features,
including rock outcroppings, native plant materials and natural
hydrology while also encouraging improved drainage from lots
directly to a street, storm drain, or through public or privately
maintained easement;
(9) Limiting the impact of slopes on adjacent
developed properties and limit construction on identified seismic
or geologic hazard areas;
(10) Encouraging the use of a variety of housing
Styles, split-level grading techniques, varied lot sizes, site
design densities, maintenance of views and arrangement and
spacing to accomplish grading policies;
(1I) To encourage orderly development of
residences within areas more readily served by public services;
(12) To encourage the development of master
planned projects which provide the service needs of the residents
of those projects;
(13) To encourage use of energy conservation
techniques in new developments.

Chapter 22.72
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
2Y2.72.010 Purpose and Intent.
A. This Chapter establishes the review procedures for
residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional
development proposals to facilitate project development review in
a timely and efficient manner; to ensure .that development
projects comply with all applicable local design guidelines,
standards, and ordinances; to minimize adverse effects on
surrounding properties and the environment; and are consistent
with the general plan which promotes high aesthetic and
functional standards to complement and add to the physical,
economic, and -social character of Diamond Bar.
B. The City finds that a development review process
will support the implementation of the general plan, as it
stresses quality community design standards. The City further
finds that the quality of residential, institutional, commercial,
and industrial uses has a substantial impact upon the visual
appeal, environmental soundness, economic stability, and property
values of the City. This Chapter is not intended to restrict
imagination, innovation ur variety, but rather to focus on
community design principles which can result in creative,
imaginative solutions for the project and a quality design for
the City. It is, therefore, the purpose of this Chapter to:
(1) Recognize the interdependence of land values
and aesthetics and provide a method by which the City may
implement this interdependence to its benefit;
(2) Encourage the orderly and harmonious
appearance of structures and property within the City along with
associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas,
and streets;
(3) Maintain the public health, safety and
general welfare, and property throughout the City;
(4) Assist developments to be more cognizant of
public concerns for the aesthetics of development;
(5) Reasonably ensure that new developments,
including residential•, institutional, commercial and industrial
developments, do not have an adverse aesthetic, health, safety or _-
architecturally related impact upon existing adjoining
properties, or the City in general;
1
(6) Implement those sections of the City's _
general plan for the preservation and enhancement of the •-
character and unique assets of the City and its harmonious
development;
(7) Minimizing the effects of grading by
discouraging mass grading and excessive slopes to ensure that the
natural character of terrain is retained;
(8) Preserving significant topographic features,
including rock outcropper_ s, native plant materials and natural
hydrology while.also encouraging improved drainage from lots
directly to a street, storm drain or through public or privately
maintained easement;
(9) Limiting the impact of slopes on adjacent
developed properties and limit construction on identified seismic
or geologic hazard areas;
(10) Encouraging the use of a variety of housing
styles, split-level grading techniques, varied lot sizes, site
design densities, maintenance of views and arrangement and
spacing to accomplish grading policies;
(11) To encourage orderly development of
residences within areas more readily served by.public services;
(12) To encourage the development of ;easter
planned projects which provide the service needs of the residents
of those projects;
(13) To encourage use of energy conservation
techniques in new developments.

The site is currently developed. and Diamond Bar Honda is located
on the Northern most part of the parcel. This site would be
identified as Parcel No. 1.
BACKGROUND:
The application is a request to subdivide a 4.8 acre parcel into
four (4) parcels. (Parcel No. 1 is approximately 2.3 acres,
Parcel No. 2 is approximately 1.2 acres, Parcel No. 3 is
approximately 1 acre, and Parcel No. 4 is approximately one-third
acre). The parcels are then proposed to be commercially
developed. The applicant is proposing a multi -use development
which will include an addition to Diamond Bar Honda of a parking
structure and accessory use structures on Parcel No. 1. Parcel
No. 2 is the proposed site of a McDonald's Restaurant. A car
wash is proposed on Parcel No. 3 and Parcel No. 4 is the proposed
site of a future office building.
DISCUSSION:
The subdivision of this site is consistent with commercial zone
Practices to divide a large parcel into smaller sites. The
proposed development and the division of the parcel is not
foreseen to be inconsistent with the General Plan, nor with the
existing land use designations. The site is isolated from other
land uses within the City and is served primarily by Grand Avenue
which is scheduled to open in the Fall, 1990.
A traffic report has been completed with all necessary mitigation
conditions provided with these conditions implemented, traffic
will not have a negative impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
A mitigated negative declaration is recommended as a result of
traffic, visual, and biota reports. This environmental
determination has been published in the San Gabriel Tribune.
Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to all property owners as
provided by the applicant, in a 700 foot radius of the project
property line.

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS DIAMOND BAR HONDA EXPANSION (McDONALDS, 'gr
CARWASH & OFFICE BUILDING) - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 15625
As previously reported to your department, I find the subject report to be representative with regard
to existing and proposed volumes, both total and peak hours. My major concern with the original
report is that it proposed removing the existing raised median on Grand Ave. opposite the
"McDonalds" entrance and allowing double left turns or ingress and egress across this median area
to serve the McDonald's site. I then expressed my concern regarding this issue to the Traffic
Engineer Consultant for the project and have subsequently received a revised plan for the median
area which proposes an opening in the median opposite the McDonald's entrance off of Grand
Ave. and to have this opening so designed to allow left turns into McDonalds but not out and
across the median. I find this proposal acceptable but again as indicated, on occasions, I would
rather not have an opening in the median at this location from a purely technical approach.
At the Planning Commission meeting of 3-14-901 reiterated my position regarding the Traffic Impact
Analysis for the subject project and further indicated that the matter of opening the median would
have to be presented to the City of Industry for approval as this portion of Grand Avenue is within
their jurisdiction.
With regard to the applicability of the Traffic Impact Analysis to the PM - any possible proposed
use of the property as proposed for division would seem appropriate to discuss and most certainly
when it is considered to restrict vehicular access by a map condition.
Once again my position, as Traffic Engineer for the City of Diamond Bar, is to accept the Traffic
Impact Analysis for the Diamond Bar Honda expansion as prepared by Weston Pringle & Associates
dated 1-10-90 with the revised opinion in the raised median opposite the proposed driveway for
McDonald's and that said report and improvements on Grand Ave. are subject to the following:
City of Industry approval of modifications on Grand Ave.
2. The proposed extension of Grand Ave, northerly of Diamond Bar Honda include a
Traffic Signal for the intersection of Grand Ave. at Brea Canyon Rd. and the 60
Freeway on-off ramps.

Dear Mr. Hamdy:
This report summarizes the analyses of the. proposed Diamond Bar Honda
project located on the southwest side of Grand Avenue, northwest of the
Orange/Pomona Freeway (S.R. 57/S.R. 60 combined section.) in the City of
Diamond -Bar. This study is based on information provided by you,
conversation with the City traffic consultant, field studies of the area,
previously completed analyses, and standard reference materials.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project includes an'. expansion (3,575 square feet) of the
existing Ronda dealership, a 5,000 square foot McDonald's restaurant, a
car wash facility, and potential for a 2,500 square foot office
building. The Honda dealership has access to both Grand Avenue and Brea
Canyon Road while the car wash facility will have entrance/exit only at
Brea Canyon.
The proposed McDonald's restaurant will have access to both Grand Avenue
and Brea Canyon Road_ The existing median on Grand, along the project
frontage is proposed. to be removed and replaced by a two way left turn
lane. The potential office building would also be expected to utilize
the McDonald's driveways. Figure 1 shows the project location in
relationship to the surrounding street system

EXISTING CONDITIONS
Grand Avenue has a northwest -southeast alignment with a portion which
exists northwest of the City of Industry and a section between the City
of Industry and the San Bernardino County line. Grand Avenue is planned
to be extended through the City of Industry in the near future which
connect the City of Diamond Bar and City of Walnut portions of Grand. In
conjunction with the Chino Hills project, Grand would be extended to the
east providing access to the City of Chino. -Full freeway access is
provided at both the San Bernardino Freeway (I-10) and the S.R. 57/S.R.
60 Freeway.
Along the project.frontage, Grand provides three lanes northwest bound
and two southeast bound separated by a raised median. Southeast of the
S.R. 57/S.R. 60 Freeway, a raised median separates four travel lanes. A
45 mile per hour speed limit is posted. A traffic signal is currently
being designed by the County of Los Angeles for the Grand/SB Ramps
intersection.
Brea Canyon Road in the project vicinity is a two lane undivided street
with parking allowed on both sides. Brea Canyon aligns with the S.R.
57/S.R. 60 southbound/westbound ramps at Grand Avenue. South of this
intersection, Brea Canyon follows the project frontage then the road is
closed just beyond the proposed project site.
The two most critical intersections expected to be impacted by the
proposed project are Grand Avenue at the Northbound Ramps and Grazed at
the Southbound Ramps. In order to .analyze these study intersections, AM-
and
Mand PM peak hour counts were conducted by Weston Pringle and Associates.
Field data were also collected regarding the existing intersection
geometrics.
..The field data were utilized in the Intersection Capacity Utilization
(ICU) methodology of intersection analyses. An ICU value is calculated
in this methodology based on the peak hour intersection volume and the
-4 -
available intersection roadway capacity. These volumes are then related
to levels of Service (LOS) which are qualitative descriptions of
intersection operations and range from "A" (the best) to -"F" (the
worst). It is generally recognized that LOS A through D represent
acceptable operations while LOS E and F indicate an over 'capacity
situation- Appendix A contains a more detailed explanation of ICU and
its relationship to LOS.
Table 1 exhibits the ICU- and LOS values for existing volumes and
geometries. Both of the study intersections currently operate at LOS A
during the AM and PM peak hours, which is the best level of operations.
PRE -PROJECT CONDITIONS
An important consideration in the analyses of the proposed project is the
impact of the completion of Grand Avenue through the City of Industry.
Once the Grand Avenue connection from Diamond Bar to Walnut is completed
a redistribution of existing traffic is expected. Some of the vehicles
which currently use Brea Canyon Road between the Pomona Freeway (S.R. 50)
and Valley Boulevard, in conjunction with Valley Boulevard between Brea
Canyon and Grand, were assumed to use the Grand Avenue connection.
In addition to the redistribution of existing traffic, it was necessary
to include the impacts of other approved projects in the area. A traffic
study (1) was recently completed for a development in the project site
area. For this study the County of Los Angeles, City of Walnut, and City
of Industry were contacted to obtain a list of approved but nor-
constructed
otconstructed projects. We were also requested to include the impacts of
the Chino Hills project based on a traffic study (2) for that
development.
Table 2 provides the location and a description of the other area
projects included in this study. Figure 2 illustrates the locations of
these "other" projects. The volume impacts on the study intersection, of

existing traffic redistribution combined with the other area projects are
documented on the ICU worksheets contained in Appendix B.
It should be noted that adjustments were made to the Chino Hills study to
account for the Grand Avenue connection through the City of Industry. To
provide a worst case situation, 10 percent of the total Chino Hills
external traffic- was assumed to use this portion of Grand. Those trips
assigned to the S.R. 57/S.R. 50 Freeway via the Grand Avenue ramps, in
the Chino Hills study, were also included in the study.
The pre -project volumes were' added to the existing volume and the
intersection analyses were again' calculated. The analyses assumed the
existing intersection lane geometrics except the eastbound -approach at
the Grand/SB Ramps intersection. At this approach a left turn lane plus
two through lane's, were assumed to be provided upon completion of the
Grand Avenue extension through the City of Industry.
Table 1 shows the ICU and LOS results for the pre -project conditions.
The study intersections are projected to experience significant increases
in ICU value, however, acceptable (LOS D or better) intersection
operations are expected to be maintained. The Grand/NB Ramps
intersection will have LOS C operations during both peak hours while the
Grand/SB Ramps intersection will be at LOS A and LOS C during the AH, and
PH peak hours, respectively_ These analyses provide a base condition
from which the proposed project impacts can be determined.
PROJECT CONDITIONS
TriD Generation
It was necessary to determine the trip generation potential of the
proposed project so the project impacts could be: evaluated. Trip
generation rates applicable to the proposed land uses, were referenced in
San Diego Traffic Generators (3) and Trip Generation (4).
(3) San Diego Traffic Generators: San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAL); updated September, 1989
(4) Trip Generation, Fourth Edition; Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE); September, 1987
Table 3 lists the trip generation rates used in the analyses and their
source.
Given the proposed project land use sizes and utilizing the above
mentioned rates, the trip generation potential was calculated. It is
estimated that the total project will generate 4,350 daily trip ends of
which 340 (175 In, 165 Out) occur during the AM peak hour and 270 (130
In, 140 Out) during the PM peak. These totals are reflected on Table 4.
Trip Assignment
Trip distribution percentages for the proposed project were developed,
given the location of trip attractors, type of land use, the surrounding
street system, and proximity of freeway access. Figure 3 presents the
resulting distribution pattern used in the analyses.
The "Project Description" section of this report indicated that the
proposed land uses had different access locations. The access locations
were taken into consideration when the project trips were assigned to the
surrounding street system (and study intersections) based on the general
distribution percentages.
A two way Left turn lane is proposed on Grand Avenue in conjunction with
the project. This would allow left turns into and out of the project
site at Grand Avenue. This proposed traffic control was also accounted
for in the trip assignment_
ANALYSES
The. project generated trips were added to the pre -project conditions at
the study intersections so the potential impacts could be evaluated. The
ICU analyses were performed again at the study intersections for post
project conditions and acceptable intersection operations are expected to
be maintained. Table l presented earlier in this study shows that the
intersectionswill maintain the pre -project IAS values under post project
conditions. The ICU worksheet contained in Appendix B show the proposed
project turn volumes as well as the ICU analyses documentation.

The proposed two-way left turn lane on Grand Avenue, along the project
frontage is within the jurisdiction of the City of Industry. Approval
from the City of Industry will be required to implement this street
improvement. The two-way left turn lane appears to be an acceptable
alternative based on the projected trip generations and access
locations. The improvement also reducesthe impacts at the Grand/SB
Ramps intersection since McDonald's and Honda patrons from the east could
turn left into the project without going through this intersection. If
the two-way left turn lane is implemented, the McDonald's outbound
driveway at Grand Avenue should be widened to provide separate right and
left turn lanes.
SUMMARY
This study has reviewed traffic factors -related to the proposed Diamond
Bar Honda project located on the southwest side of Grand Avenue,
northwest of the S.R. 57/5.R. 60 Freeway in the City of Diamond Bar.
Existing conditions were quantified. A pre -project base condition was
evaluated which considered the impacts of other area projects and the
construction of Grand Avenue through the City of Industry. Proposed
project trip generation and assignment analyses were completed so the
project impacts could be evaluated.
The principal findings of the study:
1. The proposed project is estimated to generate a total of
4,350 daily trip ends of :which 340 (175 In, 165 Out) and
270 (130 In, 140 Out) will occur during the AM and PM peak
hours respectively,
2. For existing, pre -project, and post project conditions the
two study intersections are expected to maintain acceptable
(IAS D or better) intersection operations.
-14-
3. A two-way left turn lane is proposed to be implemented on
Grand Avenue along the project frontage. Based on the
projected trip generation and access locations this
alternative should be feasible. It would also serve to
reduce impacts on the Grand/SB Ramps intersection.
4. If the two-way left turn lane is implemented, the outbound
portion of the Me Donald's driveway should be widened to
provide a left turn lane and a right turn lane.
We trust this study will be of assistance to 'ypu and the involved
agencies. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate
to call us.

APPENDIX A
EXPLANATION OF INTERSECTION CAPACITY UTILIZATION
LEVEL OF SERVICE
APPENDIX 'A
EXPLANATION OF INTERSECTION CAPACITY UTILIZATION
The capacity of a street is nearly always greater between intersections and
less at intersections. The reason for this is that the traffic ,flows
continuously between intersections and only part of the time at intersections.
To study intersection capacity, a.technique known as Intersection Capacity
Utilization (ICU) has been developed. ICU analysis consists of (a) determining
the proportion of signal time needed to serve each conflicting movement; (b)
summing the times for the movements; and (c) comparing the total time required
to the time available. For example, if for north -south traffic the northbound
traffic is 1,000.vehicles per hour, the southbound traffic is 800 vehicles per
hour, and the capacity of either approach is 2,000 vehicles -per hour of green,
then the northbound traffic is critical and requires 1,000/2,000 or 50 percent
Of the signal time. If for the east -west traffic, 40 percent of the signal
time is required, then it can be seen that the ICU is 50 plus 40, or 90 percent.
When left -turn phases exist, they are incorporated into the analysis. As ICU's
approach 100 percent, the quality of traffic service approaches Level of Service
(LOS) E, as defined- in the Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 87, Highway
Reasearch Board, 1965.
Level of Service is used to describe quality of traffic flow. Levels of
Service A to C operate quite well. Level of Service D is typically the Level
of Service for which an urban street is. designed. Level of Service E is the
maximum volume a facility can accommodate and will result in possible stoppages
of momentary duration. Level ai Service F occurs when a facility is overloaded
and is characterized by stop -and -go traffic with stoppages of long duration. A
description of the various levels of service appears on the following page.
The ICU calculations assume that an intersection is signalized and that the
signal is ideally timed. Although calculating ICU for an unsignalized
intersection is not valid, the presumption is that a signal can be installed
and the calculation shows whether the geometries are capable of accommodating
the expected volumes. It is possible to have an 1CU well below 1.0, yet have
severe traffic congestion. This would occur because one or more movements is
not getting enough ;'time. to satisfy its demand with excess time existing on
other moves.
Capacity is often defined in terms of roadway width. However, standard lanes
have approximately the same capacity whether they are 11 foot or 14 foot lanes.
Our data indicates a typical lane, whether a through lane or left -turn lane
has a capacity of approximately 1600 vehicles per lane per hour of green time.
The Highway Capacity Manual found capacity to be about 1500 vehicles per lane
per our of green for through lanes and 1200 vehicles per lane per hour of green
for left -turn lanes. However, the capacity manual is based on pre -1965 data,
and recent studies and observations show higher capacities in the southern
California area. For this study a capacity of 1600 vehicles per lane has been
assumed for through traffic, and 1600 vehicles per lane for turning lanes.

SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes to amend the existing Conditional Use Permit (approved
August 1981) by adding a pre-school facility for an additional 75 children, an
increase of 47 percent in student population.
Additionally, a variance is requested to construct a building addition of 4,200
square feet that would extend into the 20 foot setback thereby reducing the rear
yard setback to 5 feet. A sharp embankment acts as a buffer between the proposed
building and South Via Sorella. Sound proofing will be constructed into the
structure to ensure that interior sound levels will not exceed 45 dba per CEQA
standards approved as part of the Conditional Use Permit.
A fence to separate the recreation area from the tree lined embankment running
east to west along the northern boundary will also be installed. This fence will
serve to separate the children from any potential hazards and to further ensure
the privacy of surrounding property owners.
The development will continue to provide adequate outdoor recreation space
while allowing controlled supervision of the current school enrollment and
separate safe supervision of the additional 75 pre-schoolers.
