Haz-mat ordinance

In the wake of the June 13th spill of hydrochloric acid from a tanker truck parked at a local hotel, San Angelo public safety officials have issued a reminder for trucking companies, retailers with large parking lots and hoteliers. By ordinance, trucks carrying hazardous materials can park inside the city limits for no more than one hour, and then only with the fire chief's express permission so they can load or unload their cargos. Violations of the ordinance are a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of 500 dollars.
