An ordinance amendi g the Saint Paul Legislative Code to add the followin as a,�w chapter
pertaining to Ozone D pleting Compounds. �'��?'
THE C UNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES RD �
�
Section 1. ��
The Legislative Code o the City of Saint Paul be and the same is reby amended so as to add the
following provisions th reto:
.O1 Findin�s.
Available scienti c evidence indicates that chl orocarbons ("CFCs") and halons, when
discharged into the envi onment, deplete the earth's p te ive ozone layer, allowing increased amounts
of ultraviolet radiation to penetrate the earth's a s ere, thereby posing a long-term danger to
human health, life and t e environment by incre in ch harms as skin cancers, cataracts, suppression
of the immune system, amage to crops and aq life, and related harms.
The release of ha ons in testing fire in ishing systems is a primary source of the release of
halons into the earth's tmosphere.
CFCs are widely sed in refrige 'o and air conditioning systems in a form commonly known
as "Freon". \
There is currently o econo c feasible technology available as a substitute for the Freon used
in refrigeration and air onditio� stems, and the Halon used in certain fire extinguishing systems.
�
�
The recapturing d r e ' g of Freon from auto air conditioning units alone could eliminate
nearly 20% of all CFC hen� s used nationally.
The Montreal Pr toc On Substances That Deplete The Ozone Layer (an international pact)
which was ratified by th nited States on April 21, 1988, and which became effective January l, 1989,
calls for reductions in t production, importation and exportation of CFCs to fifty percent (50%) of
the worldwide 19861ev , by 1998, and for a freeze on the production of Halon at 1986 levels beginning
January 1, 1992.
In light of e cu ent and future limitations on the production of CFCs both nationally and
internationally, e dev lopment and utilization of environmentally safe alternatives to CFCs at this
time will crea a comp titive advantage to those businesses electing to utilize such alternatives prior
to the effect' e date of y comprehensive international, federal, state or local regulation banning the
use of CFCs and halo .
1
ORIGIN.AL . � �� - �-��
� The release of C Cs and halons into the atmosphere is a global danger to the environment, thus �
• any reduction in the rel ase of said materials within the City of St. Paul will reduce this global danger
and will result in a ben fit to the overall health and safety of the public inside and outside the City of
St. Paul.
Recent discoveri s have shown that the reductions in CFC levels set forth in the Montreal
Protocol may be insuffi 'ent to remedy the global health and safety risk created from the release of
CFCs and halons.
The City of St. Pa 1 encourages the research and development of environmentally safe altemative
technologies and produ ts to replace the use of CFCs and halons.
The City of St. Pa 1 supports all international, federal and state bans on uses of CFCs; however,
until such bans have be n adopted by the appropriate agencies, responsible action on the part of the
City of St. Paul is neces ary to reduce CFC and Halon use in order to promote the long-term health,
safety and welfare of th general public, and the environment.
To protect the en 'ronment, and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, the City of St. Paul,
by this Ordinance inten s to regulate, consistent with the state law, the sale and distribution of certain
products made of or wit a blowing agent compound which consists of CFCs, regulate the servicing of
certain equipment and a pliances which contain CFCs, and to significantly reduce the release of halons
into the earth's atmosg ere.

INITIATING PROBLEM,ISSUE,OPPORTUNI (Who,Whet,When,Where,Why):
The release of O s has been linked to the depletion of stratospheric
ozone. One sourc of ODC emissions comes from the servicing and disposal
of mobil and stat onary cooling and refrigeration systems that use ODCs.
ADVANTA(iES IF APPROVED:
By requirinq the capture and recycling of ODCs when these cooling and
refrigeration syst ms are serviced or disposed of the 20� of ODC emissions
in the City could e eliminated, thereby reducing the amount of damage done
to the ozone layer and reducing the environmental damage that would result.
By passing this or inance, City inspectors would be able to ensure
compliance with bo h City and State requirements.
DISADVANTAOES IF APPROVED:
Consumers will exp rience minor inconvenience when some products are no
longer available. here may also be a slight increase in costs of
servicing the effe ed equipment, but such cost increases should be very
minor.
DISADVANTACiE3 IF NOT APPROVED:
Emissions of ODCs w uld continue, thereby continuing the damage being
inflicted on the oz ne layer and increasing the environmental damage that
results. Enforceme t of state regulations would, � al ikeli oc�d, not
take place. t+aU11C� �8S881'C� �i!l11�1`
