ACTION NARRATIVE
CO-CHAIR JAY RAMRAS called the House Resources Standing
Committee meeting to order at 1:05 p.m. Representatives Ramras,
Samuels, Gatto, Elkins, Olson and LeDoux were present at the
call to order. Representative Crawford arrived while the
meeting was in progress.
HB 360-REGULATION OF PUBLIC DRINKING WATER
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the first order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 360, "An Act relating to the regulation of
public accommodation water supply systems."
REPRESENTATIVE KEVIN MEYER, Alaska State Legislature, sponsor of
HB 360, said there is a lack of monitoring and regulating public
drinking water systems that serve 25 people or less. He said
publicly used wells are monitored if they serve more than 25
people. He gave examples of trailer parks, daycare facilities
and assisted living homes, which often have fewer than 25
people. He said it is a public health concern.
1:08:32 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked how the bill will impact villages.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if a fourplex is a public facility.
REPRESENTATIVE MEYER said the definition of public is in
statute. A fourplex would be considered private, but a private
residency used as a bed and breakfast would be considered
public.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked if a duplex would apply.
REPRESENTATIVE MEYER said a rental property does not apply,
unless it serves more than 25 people. The definition of public
accommodation is pretty broad, he noted.
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS read the statutory definition of public
accommodation.
1:12:33 PM
REPRESENTATIVE MEYER said there are many wells in Anchorage.
JERRI VAN SANDT, Division of Public Health, Department of Health
and Social Services, said she is speaking for the director of
the Division of Public Health. She said the division supports
HB 360 because it provides clear authority to protect the public
by reviewing water supplies for small facilities. She said that
those involved with certification licensing don't want to be in
the water inspection business; it is outside of their scope and
expertise. The bill will clarify that the Department of
Environmental Conservation has the authority to inspect water
systems, and problems can then be communicated to the Division
of Public Health and dealt with through licensing.
KRISTIN RYAN, Director, Division of Environmental Health,
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), said that the
regulation of public water systems falls within the Division of
Environmental Health, and it is limited to systems serving more
than 25 people. The systems falling through the cracks are the
facilities with 25 people or less that provide services to the
public, she said. She noted that there is often an assumption
that water is safe to drink at places like day care centers and
gas stations, for example. She said there are problems in
restaurants because the division can regulate many of them for
food but not for water. She stated that the regulations would
not include residential units such as homes, apartments or
duplexes. The intent is to get to facilities that provide
services to the public. She said it has been "buyer beware" for
renters or homeowners.
1:17:22 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked about the cost to private industry.
MS. RYAN said she estimates that there are about 3,000
facilities in Alaska that will be affected by the legislation,
which requires an annual test of nitrate and coliform. The
tests cost about $30 each, she said. If the drinking water
source is surface water, the division would require the system
to be designed by an engineer with those associated costs.
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS surmised that there will be no impact for
businesses on the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility system.
MS. RYAN said those water systems are regulated by an elaborate
federal system.
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS asked if there have been any problems that
created an impetus for the legislation.
MS. RYAN said there have been outbreaks from waterborne diseases
around the globe. It is the number-one reason that children die
in the world. She said there are no instances in Alaska that
she is familiar with, but she said people have died of E. coli
from private wells in other states.
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS asked about noncompliance.
MS. RYAN said the samples would be required and tested at DEC-
approved facilities. It would fall to DEC to deal with any
noncompliance. For a sample with a health concern, DEC will
issue a boil-water notice immediately. If a facility is not
sampling, DEC will do incremental enforcement, initially issuing
a notice of violation. She noted that the standard practice of
DEC is to help people comply.
1:22:37 PM
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS asked about a fourplex with a daycare.
MS. RYAN said a daycare would be providing a service and would
need to comply.
1:23:34 PM
MS. RYAN said when DEC was created it was required to regulate
public water systems. She said then the federal government
tightened up its definition of what public water system meant,
and it included nearly everything. At that point the state
decided to take on its own regulation and funding for the
smaller systems, including everything except single-family
homes, but the funding was not sufficient. Four years ago
reductions were made in the DEC budget, and this area was
completely cut. This legislation brings back the funds and
restricts regulations to places that serve the public.
1:26:03 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked about a village safe water program.
MS. RYAN said that program constructs public water systems for
rural Alaska communities, but they serve more than 25 people, so
the bill will have no impact on such systems.
1:26:53 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked if all the houses in a community
with a safe water system use that water.
MS. RYAN said hopefully, but even in Anchorage there are
thousands of people on private wells. She said there is a
Wendy's Restaurant on a private well in the middle of Anchorage.
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS asked about small one-person businesses that
may have no knowledge of the bill passing.
MS. RYAN said the intent is to regulate places that supply water
to the public.
1:28:52 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked about testing lead and other heavy
metals.
MS. RYAN said DEC will only require tests for total coliform and
nitrates; chronic contaminates aren't as much of a concern
because the risks are lower. When the water is being tested for
the required contaminants, people have the option to pay for
testing of additional contaminants, she said. She added, "We
really wanted to just capture the bare minimum, immediate health
risk."
1:29:56 PM
DENNIS WHEELER, Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA), said the
RCA would not be involved in the systems described in HB 360.
1:31:16 PM
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS moved to report HB 360 out of committee with
individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes.
Hearing no objections, HB 360 was reported out of the House
Resources Standing Committee.
1:32:02 PM
HB 380-ANIMALS & ANIMAL OR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the next order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 380, "An Act relating to the powers and duties
of the commissioner of environmental conservation; relating to
animals, animal products, agricultural products, and the
transportation of animals and animal products; relating to the
employment, appointment, and duties of a state veterinarian by
the commissioner of environmental conservation; relating to the
powers of the commissioner of natural resources regarding
agricultural products; and providing for an effective date."
REPRESENTATIVE KEVIN MEYER, Alaska State Legislature, sponsor of
HB 380, said the statutory duties and powers of Alaska's state
veterinarian have not been changed since 1949. The statute
refers to fur farms and other anachronisms and gives no
authority to quarantine an animal unless it is considered
livestock, which limits options during a potential avian
influenza outbreak, for example. Current statute makes it
unclear who would be in charge during such an outbreak, he
noted. He said various agencies jointly came up with
suggestions that are written into HB 380.
1:34:43 PM
MIKE PAWLOWSKI, Staff to Representative Kevin Meyer, said there
is an amendment suggested by the Department of Health and Social
Services.
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS moved Amendment 1 as follows (original
punctuation provided):
Insert a new section:
*Sec.__. AS47.05.012(9) is amended to read:
(9) the compendium of animal rabies prevention
and control [2002,] published by the United States
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;
Hearing no objection, Amendment 1 was adopted.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if the state veterinarian has the
power to enter private property.
DR. BOB GERLACH, State Veterinarian, Division of Environmental
Health, Department of Environmental Conservation, said only with
respect to a specific species in statute. He noted an instance
of prairie dogs spreading monkey pox in the Midwest, and the
state veterinarians did not have the ability to go onto private
land, so they quarantined the area.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO said he is concerned about rapid global
movements of animals, and there may be unknown vectors creating
an emergency situation. "Would this bill allow you to seize
upon a situation that comes before us that seems a crisis, and
allow you to act very quickly," gaining access to private
property in the interest of public health?
1:39:51 PM
DR. GERLACH said HB 380 "would allow the state veterinarian to
take action and control a disease outbreak that was initiated by
a species, a novel species, or any animal."
MR. PAWLOWSKI said to look at Section 3 regarding the ability to
inspect premises.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO said, "I would like to know that somebody
in the state doesn't need to have the troopers come with them"
in the case of non-cooperating property owners.
DR. GERLACH said the bill would give the power to quarantine an
animal to a premise and then decide if extermination is called
for.
1:41:59 PM
DR. GERLACH provided the following testimony (original
punctuation provided):
The current rapid pace of disease emergence at the
st
beginning of the 21 century has created new
challenges for the management and control of animal
and public health diseases. The emergence of new
diseases has been primarily associated with an
increased interaction with animals. It is now
recognized that over 70% of the newly identified
infectious disease affecting human health and human
economies are zoonotic diseases (animal diseases that
infect people). In the past the infectious diseases
categorized according to a convenient but artificial
system:
diseases of livestock,
diseases of wildlife,
diseases of pets,
diseases of humans.
Infectious diseases are rarely restricted to an
individual species and are not contained by any
artificial geographic or political boundary.
Diseases can be introduced to a new area through a
number of routes. For examples let us look at the
recent outbreaks of some highly publicized emerging
disease and how they were spread.
import and export of animals (Monkey Pox- rodents from
Africa)
transportation of animal products (Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy - Mad Cow Disease- meat and bone meal,
animal feeds)
movement of food products (E. coli O-157- ground meat,
Salmonella-meats and vegetables, Listeria-cheese
products)
animal movement/migration (Avain Influenza-waterfowl,
Chronic Wasting Disease-white tailed deer)
insect vectors (West Nile Virus- mosquitoes, Lyme
Disease-ticks).
There are also threats to public health from diseases
that have been recognized for many years and were
thought to be under control. These disease agents have
re-emerged recently to cause new problems due to the
presence in a new population or group of animals.
For example; outbreaks of two zoonotic diseases,
tuberculosis and brucellosis, in wildlife and
livestock have resulted in Minnesota, Michigan,
Montana, California, Arizona, and Utah loosing their
status as disease free states. Other disease have re-
emerged as a threat due to genetic mutations that make
the pathogen more resistant to commonly used
antibiotics. Antibiotic resistant strains of E. coli
O-157, Salmonella and tuberculosis have been
identified resulting in increased morbidity and
mortality rates and escalating health care cost.
The consequences of all these disease outbreaks has
had major impact on both animal health, public health,
as well as regional and national economies.
There is no state agency that has the authority to
manage animals (domestic, wild or exotic) that may
carry diseases that threaten the State's animal
resources and public health.
The current authority of the State Veterinarian is
limited to livestock, poultry and animals on fur
farms.
How has the state managed this problem?
In the February of 2004 a veterinarian reported that
several horses had acutely died in Kodiak. The disease
investigation was initiated by the State Veterinarian
in collaboration with the USDA, UAF and local
practitioners. Public Health was notified. No person
had the authority to stop all animal movement (pets,
livestock, wildlife, animals for exhibition) to
prevent the possible spread of a potentially dangerous
disease during this investigation. The State
Veterinarian had the authority to quarantine livestock
and poultry only. All animal movement on and off
Kodiak was curtailed through the voluntary cooperation
of DOD-US Coast Guard, State Dept of Transportation-
Ferry System, private airline carriers with the Office
of the State Veterinarian. Five horses and a donkey
died in the span of two weeks; fortunately the cause
of the equine deaths was not an infectious disease.
In the summer of 2005 a dog kennel owner imported some
ducks into Alaska to train hunting dogs. He reported
that 200 of 500 of the ducks had died over the course
of 2 weeks. These ducks are not considered poultry.
There was a high level of concern due to the outbreak
of Avian Influenza in Southeast Asia. The disease
investigation was coordinated by the State
Veterinarian in collaboration with the USDA. The
owner agreed to the disease control measures that were
instituted during the investigation: quarantine,
cancellation of all dog trials scheduled, sampling of
the remaining flock of ducks. The condition was
treated with an antibiotic and the deaths ceased. The
disease was not the result of Avian Influenza or any
other foreign animal disease but caused by a common
bacterial disease.
In the past disease investigations have been
successfully managed and controlled with the voluntary
cooperation of all parties involved. The state cannot
depend on this in the future, there needs to be clear
statuary authority in situations of an animal disease
outbreak.
1:52:53 PM
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS said he would like to address the lack of
veterinarian programs in Alaska's university system.
1:54:11 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO said the use of imported seed has caused a
potato blight in Alaska. He asked about airlines being able to
transport exotic pets.
DR. GERLACH said the state needs to be able to control and track
animal imports or anything that would be a vector to a disease
that may threaten Alaska's resources. The postal service ships
live poultry, and it is unregulated, he noted.
1:57:44 PM
LOUISA CASTRODALE, Epidemiologist, Division of Public Health,
Department of Health and Social Services, said the director of
the Division of Public Health supports HB 380 and Amendment 1.
She explained that Amendment 1 removes the specific year from
statute in reference to the compendium of animal rabies
prevention and control, so the compendium can be referred to as
it comes out each year, "so it's the most up-to-date."
1:59:27 PM
LARRY DEVILBISS, Director, Division of Agriculture, Department
of Natural Resources, spoke to Representative Gatto's question
about potato and tomato blight and said the strains have been
narrowed down, and the vector was likely imported tomato plants.
He said he supports the legislation.
2:01:18 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked about importation of tomatoes.
MR. DEVILBISS said the major importers have been notified that
plants must be certified or they will not be able to sell them.
2:02:23 PM
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS moved to report HB 380 as amended out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. Hearing no objections, CSHB 380(RES) passed out
of the House Resources Standing Committee.
HB 395-FIRE SEASON START DATE
2:03:10 PM
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the final order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 395, "An Act extending the period of the fire
season."
KONRAD JACKSON, Staff to Representative Kurt Olson, sponsor of
HB 395, said the bill extends Alaska's fire season by one month.
Alaska weather is changing, and wildfires have been beginning
before May 1 on the southern peninsula, he stated, as well as in
the Anchorage bowl. The early-season fires can be devastating,
he noted, and a quick and aggressive attack of these fires is
important. He spoke of a fire that was close to the town of
Homer, and the southern peninsula is just one example.
Buildings and infrastructure are at risk, he said.
2:07:06 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO said the commissioner can already designate
extended seasons.
MR. JACKSON said the bill puts it into statute, which encourages
the start of training and equipment purchases, but nothing now
could prohibit the commissioner from doing so.
2:08:23 PM
REPRESENTATIVE ELKINS asked if there has been an effort to log
beetle-killed forests.
MR. JACKSON said there has, but there are still "a bunch of
standing matchsticks."
2:09:18 PM
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS asked if the commissioner has extended the fire
season and why the fiscal note is so large if he has already
done so.
MR. JACKSON said money has been used "more on a crisis basis"
instead of preparing ahead of time, which may end up costing
less.
REPRESENTATIVE OLSON said response time is crucial, and much of
the equipment for the peninsula is stored in Palmer. He said
the money would allow the state to respond quicker, and it is
money well spent.
2:11:37 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked if this bill was precipitated by the
commissioner not extending the fire season when appropriate.
MR. JACKSON said that when a fire happens the commissioners say
"go" without waiting around until a designated fire season.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX said the current statute allows the
commissioner to designate a fire season. She asked if the
commissioner was asked to do so and did not move quickly enough.
REPRESENTATIVE OLSON said a fire service area in the Kenai
Peninsula has requested an extension of the fire season, and "it
hasn't happened."
2:13:15 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if beetle-killed trees are the issue.
MR. JACKSON said that is just one of many concerns.
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS said there have been 11,000 lightening strikes
in a single day in the Interior.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked if the equipment in the legislation
is for the Homer and Kenai areas.
MR. JACKSON said it will be statewide.
2:14:38 PM
GARY POWELL, State Fire Marshal, Division of Fire Prevention,
Department of Public Safety, said the fire season is beginning
earlier every year. He noted that spring wildfires are
primarily man-caused. Well-trained people and proper equipment
need to be in place before the fires begin, he stated, and they
are needed for both prevention and suppression. He said
prevention includes issuing permits and providing education.
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX asked about beetle-killed trees.
2:16:40 PM
MR. POWELL said there are many efforts in the state, but there
are other sources of fuel besides the spruce trees that have
been killed by beetles. In the spring, vegetation is still dry,
creating fuel as well, he added.
2:18:00 PM
LYNN WILCOCK, Fire Program Manager, Division of Forestry,
Department of Natural Resources (DNR), said wildfires occur
earlier now and are more complicated to fight. The problems are
exacerbated by fuel conditions and by increased development in
places that are prone to fire.
2:19:46 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked about burning beetle-killed trees in
the winter.
MR. WILCOCK said the carrier fuel sprouts up in the spring, so
the fire could not move from tree to tree during the winter.
2:21:21 PM
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS asked about the fiscal note and the recent large
supplemental funding request by the governor. He said if the
money isn't allocated now, he assumes it will show up in the
supplemental funding request.
MR. WILCOCK agreed and said he can't predict the upcoming fire
seasons, but by being better prepared, large expensive fires
might be avoided.
2:22:51 PM
REPRESENTATIVE CRAWFORD asked about burning each tree with a
weed burner instead of logging each tree.
MR. WILCOCK said the magnitude of the problem would make that
very expensive, but he said "shearblading" the trees and burning
them in a pile can be an effective method. He noted that it is
the land manager's responsibility, and a lot of the land is
privately owned or owned by municipalities near population
centers, where most of the concern is. He said DNR will assist
and advise other landowners, but it can only manage state
forests. He noted that the economic value of dead trees
declines with time.
2:25:47 PM
MR. WILCOCK said individual landowners need to take some
responsibility, and simply clearing around buildings can save a
structure.
2:26:45 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked what reduces the economic value of a
tree.
MR. WILCOCK said wood for pulp needs to have strong fiber, and
decay over time will weaken the fiber.
2:28:10 PM
CRAIG GOODRICH, Fire Chief, Municipality of Anchorage, said he
supports the bill so that seasonal employees can come back on
line early enough to be trained. Institutionalizing the longer
fire season allows for better planning, he added. He said a
campaign fire costs $1 million a day, so if the funding is spent
avoiding fires, it is well spent.
2:30:56 PM
MICHAEL DAVIDSON, Alaska Professional Fire Fighters Association,
said his association favors HB 395. He said it is proactive and
may prevent a multimillion-dollar loss. From a labor
standpoint, he said, large fires present a greater danger to
firefighters.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if there has been much progress in
getting landowners to clear fuel.
MR. GOODRICH said he believes there has been excellent progress
with homeowners creating defendable homes with fuel mitigation.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if fire insurance rates decrease if a
homeowner is able to reduce fire dangers.
MR. GOODRICH said he does not know, but it is true in the
structural realm.
REPRESENTATIVE OLSON said if a home is within a 10-mile radius
of a fire station, it might have an impact.
2:35:08 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO moved to report HB 395 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. Hearing no objections, HB 395 was passed out of
committee.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Resources Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 2:36 PM.
