City.

Rosemead Traffic Commission.
Respectfully submitted,

of asphalt that are being dumped into the gravel pits at the Peck Road water basin settling area. Mr.
Taylor questioned why an oil product is being dumped there. The memo he received in response dealt
with the asphalt being stored for MTA purposes, which is at another location. Mr. Taylor stated that
the water in the rock quarries is part of the water table, and cited as an example what a gallon of gas
does to millions of gallons of water.
