Q & A from Flint Hills Resources – D. Altenhoff

 

Please see answers to questions below….

# What happen this morning, we all heard a real big bang?  The FHR plant experienced an operational upset that caused steam relief valves to open to maintain proper steam system pressure.  These are large relief valves and when these valves open there is a significant amount of noise.  There is no threat to anyone but I am very sorry about the noise.

# That flaring is loud and black smoke. This is not routine.  The noise was from the steam system and not the flare.  There was black smoke from the flare for a brief period (less than 10 minutes).

# I check the website and there is no new message   The CAER Line message was posted at 0848 hrs.  I just called the CAER line and the message is posted correctly.  I visited the CAER line website and our message is posted there as well (message posted at 08:49:54).  See below.  Please let me know if I can help with any other questions from the neighbors.

This is a courtesy message from TPC Group, located at 8600 Park Place Boulevard, notifying our neighbors that we are conducting planned maintenance on a unit in our facility, as part of startup activity. As a result, there will be intermittent flaring and smoke at our facility. It is a controlled process and is being monitored as startup activity continues. We do not expect any impact to our employees, industrial or community neighbors.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Should you have any concerns or questions, please email Sara Cronin at sara.cronin@tpcgrp.com or call 713.502.0656.

Keep your curb clean and free of debris

There is rain in the forecast so please clean your gutters and curb so that the water may flow!
 
Help keep your neighborhood clean.
 Add-A-Can
This program provides residents with the opportunity of having a second or third garbage can serviced for a fee.
Residents will have their first 96 gallon can serviced free. The fee forservicing the second/third can may be added to the citizen’s monthly water bill upon request of the service. Citizens who already have an extra can and wish to continue to have it collected will need to request a sticker for it. Call 3-1-1 to enroll in Add-A-Can.
Tags For Bags
Extra bags of garbage are collected only if they have a special tag attached. The “Tags for Bags” program allows residents
the convenience of purchasing “tags” instead of additional cans if they require extra service occasionally. These tags may
be purchased at Fiesta, HEB, Sellers Bros. and participating Krogerstores. Residents may also download an order form at houstonsolidwaste.org and send the completed form and payment through the mail.

January – Tree Waste

 

Junk Waste

“Junk Waste” is defined as items such as furniture, appliances, and other bulky material. 

Tree Waste is accepted during Junk Waste Months; however, to ensure your Tree Waste is recycled, you may hold your tree waste materials until the next Tree Waste designated month or take it to a Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Center.

Junk Waste months are February, April, June, August, October and December.

Residents who wish to dispose of Tree Waste or Junk Waste before their scheduled once-per-month collection may use one of six Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Centers. Visit the Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Center web page here for more information or call 3-1-1.

Tires

Residents may place up to 4 tires at the curb for collection during Junk Waste months.  Collection crews will separate the tires from the Junk Waste. It may take up to a week before crews return and retrieve the tires.  Separating the tires from the rest of the Junk Waste  allows the SWMD to properly process tires.

City of Houston Public Works to Make Major Water Main Repair

City of Houston Public Works to Make Major Water Main Repair in the 2900 Block of Starmount 

Contractors with the City of Houston Public Works and Engineering Department are performing an emergency repair of a large 5-foot diameter water transmission line leak in the 2900 block of Starmount. These contractors, as well as City staff, are determining the exact location of the leak and extent of repair required. The cause of the leak is unknown at this time.

Public Works has shut down the intersection of Starmount and Steelman to all traffic.  Residents in affected areas may notice low or no water pressure until the repair is completed. Affected areas include the immediate vicinity of the repair, as well as the area roughly bounded by Telephone Road (east), Weslayan/Stella Link (west), W. Orem (south) and Brays Bayou (north).

The safe delivery of water is our main goal and we are working to restore service as quickly as possible. Please call 311 to report any water outages. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
