The storms and subsequent flood damage occurred across Southern California and a federal emergency was declared, he said.Construction to replace the impacted lines will require two operating permits from the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District for emergency sewer pumps that will emit toxic and organic pollutants from two sites.According to the MDAQMD, the emissions calculations comply with local, state and federal air pollution regulations but are considered a "high priority" on the district's prioritization score index.The pollutants include particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, carbon monoxide, diesel particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, according to the MDAQMD notice.The two sites are both located within 1,000 feet of the outer property boundaries of the Academy of Academic Excellence/Lewis Center, the notice states. 迷你倉ite one is located on the west side of the Mojave River, east of the railroad tracks and east of Kemper Campbell Ranch Road.Site two is on the school grounds of the Lewis Center on the 17000 block of Mana Road in Apple Valley.A parent night will be held on Monday at 6 p.m. at AAE's Mojave River Campus to discuss the MDAQMD notice. VVWRA officials will be present to answer questions."They'll be there to answer questions and make sure our kids are safe," AAE President/CEO Rick Piercy said. "That's always the main concern. So far, from what we understand I don't think that our kids are going to be in any danger. They're a long ways away from where the pumps are."To prevent any potential future damage to the sewer lines, the new main interceptor lines will be built away from the river, Orr said. Construction is expected to take between nine and 15 months and cannot begin until October because the Mojave River is a flyway for migratory birds.For more information contact Guy Smith of the MDAQMD at 760-245-1661extension 1854.Brooke Self may be reached 760-951-6232 or BSelf@VVDailyPRess.com.
