Question about Amaircare VOC Canister Filter 8 Inch For Amaircare 2500 Air Cleanersand the Safe Home Duo Air Purify Furnace Filter 20x25x4 In.
Questions: "What advantages are there in adding the Amaircare VOC canister filter to my Amaircare 2500? And why would I use a Safe Home Duo filter with Formaldezorb as my HVAC filter? We are very sensitive to chemicals. Thanks. Mary.
Answer: Both filters use formaldezorb with carbon to capture odors as well as formaldehyde.
Amaircare VOC Canister filters are available for all sizes of Amaircare portable air purifiers as well as many of the industrial ones and HVAC units .Amaircare's standard VOC Canisters capture approximately 20% aldehydes (including formaldehyde) in a single pass. Amaircare's Formaldezorb VOC Canister is a proprietary specialty activated solid carbon that is chemically modified on the surface with a compound specifically targeting formaldehyde and other aldehydes. Formaldehyde being the most reactive aldehyde, binds to the surface of the modified carbon in a highly effective manner. Based on this specially formulated process, Amaircare Formaldezorb VOC Canisters remove 60% to 75% of formaldehyde in a single pass. The high performance removal of the Formaldezorb VOC Canister is specified by healthcare professionals in the USA and Canada where exposure to formaldehyde is a current and growing health concern since recognition by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a known carcinogen.
Safe Home Duo HVAC filters come in 1 inch and 4 inch sizes. The one inch sizes have an internal metal frame with self-sealing edges. The four inch ones use pleated filter media: the outside of the filter has sealing strips. Again the idea is to have no unfiltered air go around the filter.
Polyester media filter with chemical filter uses 300 grams/sq. ft. of 50/50 activated carbon and potassium permanganate based FormaldaSorb™ to trap gases, odors and chemicals including formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ammonia and ozone. No other filters are as effective at removing dust mites, mold spores, pollen, odors, cleaning chemicals, ozone, paint fumes, and common gasses like formaldehyde which triggers asthma and allergies. Made in USA. Captures up to 95% of common household allergens. Eliminates odors from pets, paint, cooking and more. High density carbon plus advanced compound, FormaldaSorb™, a patented potassium permanganate product, in second layer.
Filter life depends upon how much dust, dirt, chemicals etc are in your interior air. The VOC filter typically lasts 1 year. Furnace filter life is usually 3 months.We urge that you consult your HVAC technician before purchasing any furnace filter. The Safe Home Duo filters have a MERV 8 rating which works in most newer (as in last 20 years) HVAC systems. If a MERV rating is too high for your unit, air flow is restricted and damage to the furnace may occur. Go to Safe Home Products.com to see the various filter sizes available for Amaircare and HVAC systems. Just enter Amaircare VOC Filter or Safe Home Duo in the search box on the left.
Thank you for your questions.
Sincerely, Barbara

Question: How do I choose a furnace filter for my HVAC system?
Answer: Always check with your HVAC technician prior to replacing your furnace filter. He or she is knowledgable about the air duct capacity and motor capacity of your system. Another option is to match the furnace filter in your system with another that is the same MERV rating or MPR (Microparticle Performance Rating). Explain that the 1 inch filter has an internal frame, that no air can go around it. Similarly the 4 inch thick unit is made to fit a 4 or 5 inch filter slot.
The buyer of a furnace filter must assume responsibility for his or her choice of furnace filters. No on-line company nor box store knows the age, the air duct capacity, the motor capacity, etc. of your HVAC system. Only your HVAC technician is qualified to determine the density of a filter that will work in your furnace and cause no problems.
Safe Home internal frame filters have two layers of media. The white side must be inserted into the filter panel so that the air flow goes through that part first. With the internal metal frame, this filter fits very tightly into the opening. No air can go around it. Your HVAC technician needs to know that this is an internal frame filter with no air escaping around it.
The Safe Home Duo 4 filters are also made to fit very tightly in the filter holder. This unit is also marked so it must be installed so that the air flow goes through the filter in the correct direction. Again it is important that your HVAC technician be aware of this tight fit. These units replace 4 or 5 inch thick filters. Always insert so that airflow goes first through the white side.
Thanks for your question.

Q: "A natural gas shale line from Marcellus Shale gas in Pennsylvania may extend into the Northeastern states in the next year, if approved (Quote from CBS 12/3/2014) We currently are using oil heat. Replacing the furnace with natural gas will save us a lot of money. How can we avoid the health risks associated with natural gas?"Thanks Tom.
Answer: Continue using carbon monoxide alarms and smoke detectors as you have been doing, remembering to test them monthly and change batteries once a year. I would also suggest you add a Scentry III Gas Shut Off system on your main line into the home as well as Safe-T-Alert Combustible Gas Alarm or a Safety Siren III natural gas alarm near your natural gas appliances such as ranges, fireplaces, etc.
With the Scentry III GFRAB, you can add additional remote sensors, a battery back-up and a connection to a home monitoring system if you have one or plan to get one.
Remember that natural gas is lighter than air and "puddles" at the ceiling above the appliance using it. If near an open stairway, the gas will go to the top of the stairway.
An annual furnace tune up with filter change is needed with gas furnaces as well as with oil. If you want the best disposable furnace filters, use the 4 inch or 1 inch Safe Home filters.
Thanks for your questions.

Q: "My gas bills this winter almost doubled with the very cold weather. Can you give me some ideas about how to reduce my bills without being cold? Thanks. Phil"
Answer: First, contact your gas company to learn if they have a one time free energy audit available to customers. If not, I suggest you contact several insulation contractors in your area to give you their opinions about the R values in your attic and side walls. You may choose not to add additional insulation. With some rebates available in some areas, adding insulation may not be as expensive as you believe.
Next, check for air leakage from your unused electrical outlets that are on the outside walls of your home. Safe Home sells a variety of plugs and covers to reduce the leakage. For examples, look at the electrical outlet covers and sliding door outlet covers such as CoverPlug Duplex Outlet Cover for Electric Outlets, the Plug Guard Energy Saving Safety Outlet Cover, the IVORY STD 3-Prg 1 Screw Outlet Cover,6/PK, the Kiddy Cop Outlet Covers, Leviton 12777, 12/Box, or the Sockit Lockets. We installed the Care Cover outlet covers one bitterly cold January years ago and learned how much cold air was blocked from entering our home.
If you choose outlet plugs, I suggest you purchase insulating covers that install behind each electrical outlet. To install, remove your current outlet cover, push the insulation around the plugs and replace the liner and the outlet plugs.
Use insulating foam around all water lines into your home. Make sure the "flaps" seal tightly on exhausts from clothes dryers.
Purchase a set back thermostat for your furnace. Many utility companies have a rebate to help pay for this unit. Do remember that setting the temperature back means that time is required to get the temperature to a comfortable level. We learned in June 2013 that our original furnace was undersized: the new one comes up to daytime temperatures much faster. We keep our nightime temperature set at 68 degrees and daytime at 72 degrees. The natural gas fireplace keeps the family room comfortable on the below zero days and nights.
Change your furnace filters regularly. Choose a MERV rating that works with your furnace. Too high of a MERV rating means you'll not get much air through your filter. Safe Home filters have two layers of filtration. When the white layer gets gray, it is time to change the filter. The second layer filters out odors and chemicals; the first, dirt, dust and pollen. Safe Home filters come in one inch sizes that are self-sealing due to an internal frame and in 4 inch filters that have a self-sealing perimeter.
Use supplemental electric heaters where you need them. We suggest the ECO SAVE Ceramic Heater that is compact and efficient and used only 750 watts of electricity. If your feet get cold while the rest of you feels comfortable, then consider the Toasty Toes Heated Footrest.
If you have the money and your furnace is 15 or more years old, consider replacing the furnace. Make sure you get at least three bids. If the BTU ratings vary a lot, get another bid or two. YOu don't want an oversized furnace nor an undersized one (like the one we had for over 20 years).
We replaced both AC and the main furnace this summer with next to the highest efficiency units. (Total cost was $5400 less the rebates.) The new furnace is two stage, i.e. two blower speeds. We got rebates from both the gas and electric companies. Also we did not choose the most expensive units available. Sometimes you have to choose between a few thousand dollars and paying your HVAC person annual AC and heating tune-ups.
This past month we did use an electric ceramic heater set at 65 degrees F in our tiled bathroom and another one in the kitchen (ceramic flooring). That took the chill off in those rooms. Unfortunately, our new kitten has yet to learn to keep his claws in. So the insulated window shades remain up even in the cold weather. (A toss up between ripped shades and more insulation or keeping Buddy from climbing them.)
If you have other questions, please contact us.Sincerely, Barbara

Question about why the Safe Home Duo 16 x 25 x 1 furnace filter is a better furnace filter than a washable metal one or a fiberglass disposable one.
Q: "Please explain why this furnace filter is superior to a washable metal furnace filter or a disposable fiberglass disposable furnace filter. Thanks. Sam
Answer: Differences are several:
Installation Instructions: The white side of the filter should face incoming air. In most systems, the white side should face away from the air handler or furnace equipment. Air should enter the white side, which traps allergens, and exit through the dark side, which traps gases and odors.
Note: Check with your HVAC technician to verify that your system is able enough to handle the density of a MERV 8 filter before purchasing this or any other MERV 8 filter. Install this MERV 8 with Air Flow First Going through the White Media. Made in USA.
Thank you for your question. We sell the Safe Home Duo in many sizes. We also sell the Safe Home Duo Air Purify Furnace Filter 20x20x4 In. and other sizes in the 4 inch furnace filters. These thicker furnace filters also have self-sealing edges around a 4 inch furnace filter core to filter out allergens with the Formaldesorb carbon and potassium permanganate.
Thank you for your question.

Q: "I have bad allergies. I have a 5 ton Carrier HVAC system. I am currently using the disposable paper filters with the cardboard surrround. When I push the filter into the 1 inch furnace slot, the spring at the back causes the filter to buckle. My furnace slot is 21.5 x 23.25. Do you have an Envirosept to fit this size opening? Is this more effective than a paper filter? How does it work? Thanks. Bill"
Answer: In the furnace industry, furnace filter sizes are actually rounded up to the next whole number. (Thank you for your question because this was not a fact that was active in my mind!) I phoned the manufacturer and learned this and also that a 2 x 4 is actually 1.75 inches by 3.5 inches! Actually, in the first paragraph of every Envirosept Furnace Panel, Safe Home does give this information!
To determine the actual size of what you need, imagine a picture frame. You would measure that edge to edge across the top and the same up the side. That is how you measure a furnace filter. Then you pick the next larger furnace filter or furnace panel. Or you can remove the disposable furnace filter and measure it the same way.
In your situation, you would need the EnviroSept 22x23 Furnace Filter Panel,14 Filter Pads. This panel actually measures 21.5 inches by 23.25 inches, the measurements you gave me on the phone. This Envirosept includes 14 filter pads, two of which are in the furnace filter panel when it is delivered. So this filter size is rounded up if it is .5 inches for the 22 part and rounded down for the 23 part since your filter is 23.25 inches.
To get the most from your Envirosept, you need to run the fan continuously and change the filter pads regularly. This can mean every 3 to 4 weeks or even longer. We recommend that you check the panel after the first two weeks. Your choice then is to take the dirty primary filter and throw it out and use the secondary filter in the primary or first slot or replace both filter pads. Remember you do need an electrical outlet for this unit.

Q: "Currently I am using disposable furnace filters. I am considering the Envirosept but wonder if this performs any beter than the washable furnace filters. We do have allergies to dust. Thanks." Frank
Answer: I have two answers, one based upon personal experience here at our Safe Home Products' office and one based upon information from the manufacturer.
At our offices, we have numerous printers plus the dust and dirt that drifts in from the frequent comings and goings into our large warehouse. We tried a fiberglass filter initially and then replaced it with a 1625 Envirosept furnace panel. The amount of dust that collects on desks, monitors, etc. decreased significantly with the Envirosept. We do have to change the filters about every three weeks. I, too, am allergic to dust plus pollen and more. The EnviroSept keeps the air clean so I'm not sneezing!
Second, the manufacturer, Aqua Air Technologies shares that there is no way to compare the EnviroSept to either the frictional electrostatic filters or the standard fiberglass ones that you throw away. Mike explains that the Envirosept is up to a thousand times more effective under normal operating conditions. "In theory, the plastic/glass strands are supposed to develop a static electric charge as the air passes through the filter, much like when you comb your hair. However, you need very low humidity to create any type of low level static charge. This charge is quickly lost as soon as the filter collects any dust, which insulates the plastic/glass strands and prevents the generation of any static charge. It would appear that the only benefit these filters offer is that they are permanent. Further, you do have the dirty task of washing these filters every two-three months. In addition, these filters have been known to cause major air restriction problems after several years that may damage your heating/cooling system."
Our unit is 5 years old and we've experienced no problems. The Envirosept units come in many sizes. All the units we sell come with 14 filter pads, enough for most people for at least 1 year. The power used is minimal and the cost cannot be beat! Changing the filters is easy. Just unplug the panel. Slip it out. Open the clips. Remove the dirty filters, replace into the one inch slot after fastening the clips and plug in. Wipe off the grids with a damp microfiber cloth if necessary and let dry before refilling and replacing.

Q: "Before I buy an EnviroSept furnace filter panel, I need some questions answered.
Answer: The answers to questions 1 and 2 is "yes." The answer to question 3: yes the air flow is reduced somewhat. A clean fiberglass filter has an airflow reduction of .05 and this restriction with the Envirosept panel is .20.
Please let us know the size of your current fiberglass filter so we can help you choose the correct unit. Thanks for your question.
Comments: The Envirosept comes in sizes to fit all HVAC units. Maintenance is minimal: polywool filters need changed every month for most homes. Once a year or so, the panel needs wiped off with a microfiber or lint-free cloth.

The European soccer union UEFA wants to step up its monitoring system in the fight against match-fixing, a German newspaper reported on Friday quoting a UEFA expert.
From next season, UEFA will be expanding its monitoring of European matches to include all games in the top two divisions of all European countries, Peter Limacher, UEFA's head of disciplinary services, was quoted as saying by Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
The organization also intends to set up a database providing information on matches and betting flows.
Soccer authorities have long been concerned about the risk of match-rigging involving betting syndicates and have followed up a number of suspicious matches.
A UEFA investigative unit has been looking at suspicious betting movements, while world governing body FIFA also has an early warning system for monitoring soccer betting.
In April, UEFA banned Macedonian club FK Podeba for eight years from European events over a match-fixing scheme in a Champions League qualifying tie.
Asia, where nine out of 10 betting fraud cases are believed to originate, continues to be the focus of investigations.
"The problem is the enormously high liquidity in Asia's betting market and the dirty money it often attracts," Limacher said.
A report released on Wednesday by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) warned that soccer risked being used by criminals for money laundering purposes.
The FATF, an independent inter-governmental body that develops and promotes policies to protect the global financial system against money laundering and terrorist financing, says criminals are buying clubs, transferring players, betting, using image rights and sponsorship or advertising arrangements.

7. City Council discussion and direction to staff.
Brief History
The entire surface boundary limits of the Inglewood Oil Field (IOF), including lands within both the City and County, totaled approximately 1,000 acres as of 2008. The portion of the IOF that is solely within the limits of Culver City ("City IOF") totals 77.8-acres. (Surface boundary limit refers to the physical extent of the ground surface for which the Oil Field Operator has access and land owner permission to establish and conduct oil drilling activity. Subsurface and mineral rights limits may have different boundaries than the surface boundary.)
Following a series of accidental gas release and odor events in late 2005 and early 2006, community and City interest in the IOF activities peaked and the County of Los Angeles initiated the process of establishing regulations for oil and gas production activities within the unincorporated County portion of the IOF (the "County IOF"). In October 2008, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted the Baldwin Hills Community Standards District (County CSD), which established the oil and gas regulations for approximately 900 acres of the County IOF, and related Environmental Impact Report (CSD EIR). The County CSD regulations were supplemented through a Settlement Agreement resulting from subsequent litigation, challenging the adequacy of the CSD EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and only are applicable to the County IOF.
Following the County process and litigation settlement, the City of Culver City initiated the process of establishing more robust regulation for oil and gas production activities within the City IOF, with the intent of replacing the existing regulations set forth Chapter 11.12 of the Culver City Municipal Code (under the existing regulations, any new drilling permit is a discretionary action and would require a complete environmental review prior to issuance of a permit). In April 2013, Culver City released to the public the Discussion Draft Oil Drilling Regulations for the Culver City Portion of the Inglewood Oil Field (the "Draft Drilling Regulations"). Following an informal public review and comment period, the City Council adopted (in June 2014) a resolution declaring its intention to initiate preparation of the Inglewood Oil Field Specific Plan for the City IOF (the "Draft Specific Plan"). Although the provisions of the Draft Drilling Regulations and Draft Specific Plan are unique to the circumstances of the City IOF, its surrounding community and desired level of City oversight, many of the reporting and monitoring requirements are modeled in part from the County CSD regulations.
Since June 2014, City staff has worked with a team of consultants to prepare the Draft Specific Plan and related Draft Environmental Impact Report (the "Draft EIR"). Prior to and during that time, the City did outreach to former Oil Operators Plains Exploration and Production Company (PXP) and then Freeport McMoRan Oil and Gas (FMOG) in an effort to coordinate and collaborate on the planning process. This included a request for information in order to understand the existing oil field operations. In the absence of a cooperative interest from either party at that time, the City instead moved forward with the Specific Plan process as a City-initiated effort and had targeted a public release date of March 30, 2017 for both the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR.
The IOF has had several Oil Field Operators since its origination in the 1920's. In 2014 FMOG became the Oil Field Operator for the oil and gas facilities throughout the entire IOF after purchasing the rights from PXP. Most recently, in July, 2016, FMOG sold its onshore California oil and gas properties (including the IOF) to Sentinel Peak Resources California LLC (SPR). SPR assumed operation of the IOF, including the City IOF, as of January 1, 2017.
As discussed in more detail below, following SPR's acquisition of the IOF and its efforts to reach out to the City to request an opportunity to discuss the Draft Drilling Regulations, the release date of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR has been postponed in order to conduct this April 17th community meeting. This provides SPR the opportunity to present its request to the City Council as to options for allowing SPR to participate more directly in the regulatory process for the City IOF. It will also give the public an opportunity to comment on SPR's proposed change in process.
The Draft Drilling Regulations and Draft Specific Plan
The Draft Drilling Regulations are a set of regulations designed to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and the environment, in the City of Culver City and surrounding communities, and set forth how future oil and gas drilling and production activities within the City IOF would be conducted, maintained, permitted, reviewed, reported and monitored (if adopted). The Draft Drilling Regulations are organized as 56 sections addressing these categories: Administrative Items; Required Permits and Plans; Oil Field Operations; Supporting Equipment, Facilities and Standards; Environmental Considerations; Reporting Requirements; and Safety. Many of the reporting and procedural requirements included in the Draft Drilling Regulations parallel those required of the Oil Field Operator for the adjacent County IOF, which are regulated under the County CSD.
The Draft Drilling Regulations were used for formulating the Draft Specific Plan. A Specific Plan is a comprehensive planning and zoning document for a defined geographical area. It provides the flexibility to establish site-specific zoning regulations tailored to the type and intensity of uses in a specific location. A Specific Plan for the IOF is particularly suitable because oil field operations require specialized regulations that differ from those applicable to typical commercial and industrial uses. As oil and gas production is such a specialized land use and limited to one geographic location within the City, a Specific Plan is a useful tool to address the special needs for this type of use and the unique conditions of the area surrounding the IOF.
The Draft Specific Plan:
• Updates and supersedes the City's existing oil drilling regulations and is intended to address the changes in the last decade in oil production-related technology, legislation, public concerns and environmental considerations that may not be otherwise evident under the City's existing regulations.
• Includes three key components: 1) a policy section that addresses consistency with the City's General Plan; 2) a development standards section that incorporates the Drilling Regulations; and 3) an implementation section that sets forth how the Specific Plan will be administered.
• Establishes defined "drilling areas" that distinguish between areas where drilling of new wells could occur and areas where new drilling/redrilling of wells is prohibited or subject to special review/approval.
• Establishes a cap for the maximum number of wells that could be drilled or redrilled.
• Contemplates oil "development" within the City IOF occurring over a period of 15 years, assumed to range from 2018 through 2032. However, once the maximum cap on new wells has been met, no further drilling would be allowed. Under an accelerated drilling schedule, it is possible that the span of development could be as short as 11 years.
The Draft EIR
CEQA requires that any "project" must be reviewed for its potential effects on the physical environment. In order to identify and quantify the physical impacts associated with the Draft Specific Plan, the City's EIR consultant established a set of assumptions to "define" a physical project for analysis under the EIR. Typically, a project is defined by a site plan and information presented by a project applicant. In the absence of specific and detailed information, assumptions may be used to describe reasonable expectations for project development based on other available information (i.e. similar operations in the industry, etc.). The assumed project defined for the Draft EIR addresses a physical project associated with developing all of the allowable activities and components that could be implemented on the Project Site under the Draft Specific Plan. In the absence of specific details from the Oil Field Operator, it was assumed that oil field operations and activities would be similar to those that have been conducted previously within the IOF, while also taking into account adjustments required through new regulatory requirements implemented through the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR).
If the City Council were to adopt the Specific Plan, the following drilling activities would generally be allowed following approval of an application and drilling plan by the Oil Field Operator (these are consistent with the Draft Drilling Regulations released/reviewed by the public in April 2013):
• The Oil Field Operator could establish a 15-year long-range Drilling Plan.
• Up to a maximum of 30 new wells could be drilled (in addition to the existing +27 active wells) over a 15-year period.
• Up to two new wells may be drilled each year for the first two years; a third well may be added annually subject to approval of the Community Development Director.
• New drilling sites/wells must be set back at least 400 feet from "Developed Areas" (which essentially is the outer edge of the specific plan boundary, except for its southern boundary abutting the County IOF).
• Because of the increased time needed for drilling, new drilling sites/wells that target deeper depths must be set back 800 feet from "Sensitive Developed Areas."
• A provision is available that would allow drilling within the 400-foot set back area only when it can be demonstrated that drilling in that location would not result in any increase in environmental impacts, subject to approval by the City Council.
• Only one well may be drilled at a time.
• Only two wells may be "reworked" at a time.
• Well stimulation treatments, including hydraulic fracturing- City Council would consider whether to allow (subject to regulations) or prohibit this activity during its consideration of the Draft EIR.
• Deep-well injection of wastewater generated through drilling/well stimulation treatments- City Council would consider whether to allow or prohibit this activity during its consideration of the Draft EIR.
• All drilling activity and operations within the Specific Plan area would be regulated and monitored by Culver City to a level and extent that meets or exceeds the requirements covered in the County's CSD.
Recent Outreach by Sentinel Peak Resources
Since assuming ownership of the IOF and role of the Oil Field Operator as of January 1, 2017, representatives from SPR have made introductions and reached out to members of the community (through the Baldwin Hills CSD Community Advisory Panel [CAP]), as well as Culver City staff and officials (including members of the Subcommittee). Early discussions between representatives of Culver City and SPR primarily focused on clarifying the purpose of and expectations from the Draft Specific Plan that is already in progress and near completion.
During subsequent conversations with the Subcommittee Members and staff, the following issues were raised by SPR:
• SPR's concerns that the City's description of the project (i.e. number of wells drilled per year, cap on the total number of new wells drilled, etc.) that would be permitted under the Draft Drilling Regulations/Draft Specific Plan (and is evaluated in the Draft EIR) may be inconsistent with SPR's operational and reporting expectations for a proposed "project" based on the results of the study they are conducting;
• SPR's opinion that the current regulatory document imposes unreasonable restrictions of access to underlying oil reserves that limits productive operational flexibility. SPR noted that seeking to reverse these restrictions after the Draft Specific Plan is processed (if it is approved in the current form), could be costly and result in long delays.
• Potential for an opportunity to jointly coordinate on aspects of the defined "physical project" evaluated under the Draft EIR, terms and conditions for the reporting and monitoring of future operations, and expectations for transitioning future use of the project area.
• SPR provided recent examples of other cooperative and quasi-partnership relationships between oil operators and other local communities, which resulted in what SPR believed to be beneficial elements for the communities, the oil operator and the landowners. (Some examples SPR shared included the establishment of a 260-acre habitat restoration plan area in association with the Montebello Hills Oil Field; a collaborative committee participation for the City of Carson's Oil Code; and other partnership projects affecting the redevelopment of the lands for transitionary uses.)
• SPR provided information that it had initiated a detailed study, relying on advanced technological methods, to evaluate the underlying oil reserves of the Inglewood Oil Field and noted that information gained from that study would be used to formulate SPR's long-range plan for development within the City IOF. The study requires approximately 18 months to complete and is anticipated to be complete by the third quarter of 2018.
Based on this new information, the Subcommittee recommended that a meeting be scheduled so that the full City Council and the community could be engaged to discuss with SPR the extent to which SPR may be a willing participant in the process and offer constructive input on the project development; and whether there may be opportunity to explore provisions in the broader context of long-range planning that could be beneficial to the Culver City community.
Based on the Subcommittee's desire to seek input from the full City Council and the community regarding this matter, the public release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR, which were scheduled for release on March 30th, has been postponed until staff receives direction from the City Council as to how to proceed regarding this project.
Issues for Consideration
The issues to consider for moving the process forward generally can be characterized as follows and are discussed in more detail below:
Ÿ Description of Physical Project - City Assumptions and Operator-Based Input
Ÿ Draft Specific Plan - Timing and Process
Ÿ Long-Range Planning and Oil Field Objectives
Ÿ Working Agreement and Discussion Points
Ÿ Interim Conditions and Voluntary Moratorium
1. Description of Physical Project - City Assumptions and Operator-Based Input
As discussed above, the Draft EIR evaluates a potential "project" that is based on reasonable assumptions given the City's understanding of previous activity within the IOF and the regulatory constraints that could be imposed per the Draft Specific Plan. Lack of cooperation from previous IOF Operators necessitated that the project be defined in this way in order to complete the environmental review under CEQA. As a new Operator, SPR has approached the City with a request to participate in the definition of the project in order to lend more current information to the project evaluated in the Draft EIR. Because SPR is in the process of completing an advanced technological study that can inform on matters such as, but not limited to, the type of well stimulation that might be used or the extent of available oil and gas reserves, a physical project description that incorporates operator-based input may address SPR's concerns about the reasonableness of identified operations assumed solely by the City's consultants.
Pros: Coordination on the project description and anticipated oil/gas drilling and production activities could strengthen the project assumptions made in the Draft EIR and introduce data, which could further inform the City Council's decision at the time action on the Draft Specific Plan and EIR is considered. Further, if reasonable accommodations to the plan and project description can be incorporated at this stage, SPR may consider the provisions to be reasonable to allow adequate flexibility for accommodating its future oil drilling and production needs.
Cons: A primary drawback is the added time, delay and cost to the Specific Plan process, which has already been underway for more than three years and at considerable investment by the City. A change in the project description at this time may necessitate revisions to the Draft EIR, which is essentially complete. Further, it is possible that while some project description adjustments can be accommodated, the City may not be willing to make dramatic changes to the assumed project that would be consistent with the full extent that may be desired by SPR. (If an impasse is reached and consensus on the project description cannot be agreed upon between the City and SPR, the City would retain the option to process regulations under its comprehensive planning process.)
2. Draft Specific Plan - Timing and Process
As noted above, SPR's in-progress technical study requires approximately 18 months to complete. Under the City's current timeline for processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR, there is the potential that the Council's decision affecting the future regulation of the City IOF could be heard and acted upon in advance of the availability of SPR's completed study. The varied timeline tracks of the current Specific Plan process and SPR's study leaves the possibility that the "project" set forth in the Draft Specific Plan and evaluated under the Draft EIR will reflect limited input from SPR, and that SPR can only provide limited or generalized input once more specific details are available through the results of its study. Extending the schedule to allow an opportunity for SPR to contribute to the project description and/or to prepare its own draft plan for the City to consider concurrently, may provide the City and SPR an opportunity to work in a coordinated manner, while also affording adequate time to vet new information to interested stakeholders (including the Culver City community) and determine the most appropriate applicant-participation process.
Pros: Extending additional time and flexibility into the planning process would offer an opportunity to work through key issues and explore areas within the plan and project description that could be refined and also would reflect the Oil Field Operators future conditions. The option to work through these issues in a sequential and thorough manner offers an opportunity to reach consensus or mutually-accepted adjustments.
Cons: The City has already invested considerable time and funds into development of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR, and the community has anticipated its release for some time now. Suspension of the processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR so that SPR can complete its study and determine whether or how to participate in the process could delay City action by up to 18 months or more. Further, there is the possibility that even though the process is suspended to allow for coordination, the delay may not result in a plan or process that is materially much different than what is contemplated in the pending Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR. It should be noted that even if the process were not suspended and the City Council were to take action sooner (rather than later), SPR would still have the option to submit its own plan (and potentially file an application for a Specific Plan Amendment, if appropriate) on its own schedule.
3. Long-Range Planning and Oil Field Objectives
As proposed, the Draft Specific Plan would address oil drilling activity for a 15-year time span. The plan currently does not address longer-range use issues within the City IOF or when or how ongoing oil and gas production operations would transition. These issues have been topics discussed by the Subcommittee. SPR has also discussed a range of possible outcomes for longer-range objectives for the IOF and how these might be coordinated to mutually benefit the Culver City community, the Landowners and the Operator. It is also noted that the City is initiating its General Plan update process, for which input on these mutual objectives could be received and potentially incorporated.
Pros: A primary benefit for the Culver City community that could be accomplished through discussion of long-range planning and oil field objectives could be to reduce the degree of uncertainty as to how long oil activity may continue and identify reasonable alternative future uses that could be integrated. Ideally, working with SPR and the Landowners on these issues could establish long-term expectations and transition of uses that could be folded into the body of the Draft Specific Plan, incorporated into the General Plan update and/or documented in a multi-party agreement.
Cons: It is possible, even given adequate time and opportunity to dialogue freely, that a mutually agreed upon concept for long-range objectives and transition of uses with the City IOF would not be reached, and that the goals of the operator may not be consistent with the goals of the community that is impacted by the oil operations. As a result, the City would need to address these matters through its own comprehensive planning process.
4. Working Agreement and Discussion Points
Should the City Council determine to suspend processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR and direct staff to coordinate with SPR on aspects for the Specific Plan provisions, process and project description, it is recommended that such action be accompanied by the development of a Working Agreement between the City and SPR. A primary purpose of such agreement would be to establish "guiding principles" for how both parties would approach the coordination process, and would establish measurable milestones and mutually defined discussion points that would demonstrate good faith moving forward. The Working Agreement, if desired, could include a provision that, in the event progress under the guiding principles comes to an impasse or fails to meet the City's expectations of good-faith effort, the City could immediately move forward with the processing and release of the current Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR. If such an option is desirable, the City Council may want to consider a shorter-term agreement of approximately 60-90 days in order to get an immediate sense of whether proceeding with SPR as a project applicant will be a workable situation. If the discussions are productive and proceeding in good faith, an extension to such an agreement could be considered.
Pros: Integrating a Working Agreement into any arrangement to place a temporary hold on the City's current Specific Plan process, and developing guiding principles for such agreement, may serve to identify early on in the process whether coming to terms on a mutually acceptable process for establishing a regulatory framework for the IOF is likely.
Cons: The City has already invested considerable time and funds into development of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR, and the community has anticipated its release for some time now. Suspension of the processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR so that SPR can complete its study and determine whether or how to participate in the process could delay City action by up to 18 months or longer. Even with guiding principles and focused discussion points established upfront, the process could still reach an impasse and the delay may not result in a plan or process that is materially much different than what is contemplated in the pending Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR.
5. Interim Conditions and Voluntary Moratorium
Whether or not the City Council takes action to suspend the processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft EIR, SPR still requires 18 months to complete its advanced technical study of the IOF. SPR has stated publicly, and reaffirmed to the Subcommittee, that it does not anticipate plans for any new drilling prior to completion of the study. If the Council chooses to suspend the processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan so that SPR may coordinate with the City on the project aspects discussed above, the City Council may want to consider requesting SPR commit to a voluntary moratorium on any new drilling. If the City could not formally adopt a moratorium (due to procedural limitations), an implied "moratorium" incorporated in a mutual-agreement document between parties could be structured. A voluntary moratorium, along with any other voluntary agreement to interim operational conditions, could serve as a demonstration of good-faith by SPR.
There is no fiscal impact associated with the discussion of these options.
1. April 6, 2017 letter from Sentinel Peak Resources, LLP
That the City Council:
1. Discuss and consider a temporary hold on the Inglewood Oil Field Specific Plan Project and related Environmental Impact Report in order to consider a request from the new Inglewood Oil Field operator, Sentinel Peak Resources, to participate in the Specific Plan process as a project applicant; and
2. Provide direction to City staff as deemed appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to, the following options:
A. Move forward with processing of the current Draft Specific Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report for an anticipated release in May 2017. Oil Operator input would be received as public comment during the EIR public review process, and the Oil Operator could submit a future Application in accordance with regulations in place at that time, or could potentially file an application for a Specific Plan Amendment, if appropriate.
B. Temporarily, for a period of 90 days (or as otherwise determined by the City Council), suspend processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report and direct Staff to coordinate with the Oil Operator and Landowners on "substantive" details that focus on Operator-based project development assumptions and Operator/Landowner-based long-range planning objectives. Under this option, the Operator and Landowner information may be either incorporated directly into the Draft Specific Plan as a modified physical project or carried forward as an alternative project for evaluation in the Draft Environmental Impact Report.
C. Temporarily suspend processing and release of the Draft Specific Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report and direct the Subcommittee and City staff to negotiate a Working Agreement, including establishing "guiding principles" as a framework for discussions, outlining expectations and establishing measurable "working milestones", for the end purpose of determining a process for adopting a regulatory document for the Inglewood Oil Field.
The following additional option could be applied in conjunction with any of the above options:
D. Request Sentinel Peak Resources commit to a voluntary moratorium on specified oil and gas production drilling/production activities until such time that specified events or conditions occur.

April 1, 1921 – November 11, 2016
Bob was one of four brothers born to Annie (Salmond) and Harry Leech in Hamilton, Ontario. Raised by his mother after the death of his father at age six, he was a proud Boy Scout, guided by many helping hands during his boyhood. He studied as a millwright and discovered a passion for sailing in early adulthood. He sailed his boat the 'Gypsy' south to Houston Texas when he was 41 and lived, worked and sailed there for 53 years.
He met and married his wife Pat Karlson there. He was a proud volunteer on the restoration of the tall ship the 'Elissa' in Galveston and he helped teach and inspire countless people of all ages to sail. He was an ardent supporter of Planned Parenthood Houston, The Houston Food Bank, The Nature Conservancy, and more recently the Meaford Food Bank and Friends of the Library. After Pat's death in 2014 he made the decision to move north to Meaford where he and Pat had spent many happy summers in retirement and to be closer to family and friends. He settled into his new life with characteristic resilience and was on his way to his bridge club when he suffered a massive heart attack. It was as he would wish – independent to the end.
Bob is predeceased by brothers Norman and Don and is survived by a brother Ken Leech of Calgary. He will be recalled with great fondness by nieces and nephews Patty King of Uniondale, PA, Christine Collins (Mark) of Meaford, ON, and Tim Leech (Elaine) of Oakville, ON, Diane (late Bill) McKay and Ken Leech Jr. (Mary) both of Calgary Alberta.
"We will miss him dearly and wish him fair winds and safe harbour."
Cremation has taken place and a memorial gathering celebrating Captain Bob's life will be shared at the Ferguson Funeral Home in Meaford, on Saturday November 19, 2016 at 2 p.m. Family will receive friends at the funeral home from 1 o'clock until the hour of service at 2 p.m.
If so desired and as your expression of sympathy donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated and may be made directly or through the Ferguson Funeral Home, 48 Boucher St. E., Meaford, ON N4L 1B9 to whom arrangements have been entrusted. www.fergusonfuneralhomes.ca

The tracking feature in eMailPlatform connects websites, apps and other channels with email marketing and marketing automation.
Your visitors, prospects and customers move across many marketing channels both online and offline. These are so-called multichannel visitors, as consumers in these categories cover both individual people and businesses.
You know that measuring traffic is valuable, so you're probably using tools like Google Analytics already. But with our integrated tracking that combines visitor data and marketing automation, you get new exciting opportunities with the platform.
In order to handle today's and tomorrow's customers, your business must be able to follow their behavior across sales and marketing channels. Therefore, eMailPlatform has created the Tracking feature, which is an integral part of all subscription packages.
The tracking feature handles abandoned carts from your webshop, products added and removed from the shopping carts, checkout steps, additional flows, product views, product and category mapping, as well as record events like clicks, plays and downloads.
All collected actions can be used to create intelligent segments and automated flows. In other words, we have made it easy to communicate intelligently based on data.
How to implement the Tracking feature script
Insert a script on your website, on your webshop or app, and eMailPlatform is linked and can capture the behavior of your customers. The script is generated in seconds as part of the Tracking setup in eMailPlatform.
The script is a small piece of code, in line with the code on Google Analytics. The eMailPlatform script can also be easily implemented with Google Tag Manager or equivalent.
Typically, the script is inserted into your website's header area.
The script will not affect performance on your page. It is built to be skipped by users' browsers if there are challenges to retrieve it. Additionally, the script is distributed and hosted through Google Cloud to ensure maximum speed and scalability.
The unique Feed functionality in eMailPlatform is bound together with Tracking. This means that we read the information about your products from the product feed (may also be articles or other from feeds), product name, image, URL, category, prices and more. We automatically link that information with all the pages from the Sitemap, mapping the products, and reading the categories of the products.
At the same time, Tracking is now available as the menu item in the Feed functionality inside the drag-and-drop campaign builder. This means that products can easily be inserted into campaigns based on information and rules in Tracking. This includes predictive intelligence, which predicts how well the product will be received.
Once the script is inserted correctly on your page, eMailPlatform will attempt to retrieve your site's Sitemap (Google Sitemap) based on its location. If, for whatever reason, it cannot be retrieved automatically, it can be loaded manually, and eMailPlatform will then read the pages from your website or webshop.
This way we can quickly build an overview of all the pages, as well as categorize the pages by type. Is it a product page, article page or perhaps part of the purchase flow.
If it's a webshop you have connected, Tracking can automatically compare with the information in a keen product feed – and categorize the pages correctly as products and assign them a Leadscore value from the category of products.
Read more about Feed and how eMailPlatform can automatically read your products and apply them to campaigns, targeting the individual recipients with knowledge from external systems or with drag-and-drop from Feed to Campaign.
LeadScoring provides valuable insight
How often does a lead, prospect or a buying customer visit your website or webshop? It is not necessarily the most interesting to know, but it is often about timing, in order to optimize communication and win more sales.
That is why we have built the Leadscoring function with time combined with value accumulation.
As part of the Tracking setup, all pages (URLs) can be assigned a group value by type – or a unique value for each page.
We have pre-defined values when selecting a type. In this way, products are automatically assigned a value, the purchase flow builds higher and higher values according to how close to the order delivery the visitor is – and similar logic is used for the other types of pages.
When the visitor gets tracked
The tracking script will work on all the pages, on your website or webshop, where it is located correctly. Then the script will automatically collect information about the visitors.
The tracking function is so far limited to collecting data about visitors who are recipients of newsletters emailed by eMailPlatform. Later, the feature is expanded to allow traffic measurement packages to be opened to track the entire traffic.
Immediately after the visitor has left the page, it will be possible to use the data for segmentation or automated campaigns and you can begin work on targeted campaigns.
Use of the collected data
The data collected with Tracking and the calculated Leadscore from both email, SMS and website can be used widely in eMailPlatform.
Both as segmentation with segments, as filters on content and as behavioral content with Feeds in Builder. But also with trigger-based campaigns, emitted automatically on defined criteria like time after visit, added items to the basket, "left the page without buying" or see certain things, and much more.
In addition, the individual contact's history will of course be updated with relevant Tracking Information and Leadscore.
