City Council advances toxic-chemical disclosure rules. On Tuesday night, Irvine City Council unanimously approved new disclosure and zoning rules for businesses that handle acutely hazardous chemicals, Voice of OC reported Wednesday. Operators with a federal-style risk management plan must notify residents within a quarter mile, and new operators would need a conditional use permit from the Planning Commission—giving the city discretion to deny incompatible uses. Staff said more than 1,100 local businesses work with chemicals, but only seven currently require a risk management plan. The push followed May’s Garden Grove chemical-tank emergency that drove mass evacuations in North Orange County and a more recent La Habra chemical cloud. Mayor Larry Agran called greater sophistication welcome while noting more work remains on community safety.

Health officials warn after Orange County West Nile death. ABC7 reported Thursday that the family of Daniel Clavel, 61, of Anaheim, said he died after contracting West Nile virus following weeks in intensive care. Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control said the county has recorded a record 757 mosquito samples positive for the virus this year, with heavy activity in Anaheim, Fullerton, Buena Park, and Los Alamitos and some spread south and east. Officials urge residents to dump standing water, use repellent at dusk and dawn, and cover skin outdoors. The Orange County Health Care Agency reported 21 human West Nile cases as of last week versus one in the same period last year, and said it is investigating Clavel’s case.

Mid-Autumn Festival at the Great Park is tomorrow. The city’s free sixth annual Mid-Autumn Festival runs Friday, September 25, from 5 to 9:30 p.m. at the Great Park Palm Court Arts Complex (8000 Great Park Blvd.). Admission and parking are free; the city suggests Lots 2, 4, 5, and 6 and extra arrival time for traffic. Expect cultural performances, crafts, displays, and food vendors celebrating East and Southeast Asian Mid-Autumn traditions.

Separately, Irvine Police asked for help identifying two suspects in a roughly $600 Target theft on Jamboree Road after a loss-prevention worker was shoved with a shopping cart; the pair left in a gray Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 without plates. Tips: Detective Sampson, jsampson@cityofirvine.org.

한국어 요약

시의회, 유독화학물질 고지·허가 규칙 진전. 화요일 밤 어바인 시의회는 급성 위험 화학물질을 다루는 사업장에 대한 고지·구역 규칙을 만장일치로 승인했다고 Voice of OC가 수요일 보도했다. 위험관리계획(RMP)이 필요한 사업장은 반경 1/4마일 내 주민에게 존재를 알려야 하고, 신규 사업은 계획위원회 조건부사용허가(CUP)를 받아야 하며 부적합 시 거부될 수 있다. 시 직원에 따르면 화학물질을 다루는 사업장은 1,100곳 이상이지만 RMP가 필요한 곳은 현재 7곳이다. 5월 가든그로브 화학탱크 비상과 최근 라하브라 화학 구름 사태가 배경이다. 래리 아그란(Larry Agran) 시장은 고도화가 반갑다면서도 안전 과제는 남아 있다고 했다.

오렌지카운티 웨스트나일 사망 뒤 방역 당국 경고. ABC7은 목요일 애너하임 거주 대니얼 클라벨(Daniel Clavel·61) 가족이 웨스트나일 바이러스 감염 후 ICU에서 수주 투병하다 사망했다고 전했다. 오렌지카운티 모기·매개체방제지구는 올해 양성 모기 샘플이 757건으로 역대 최고라며 애너하임·풀러턴·부에나파크·로스알라미토스 등 서부권 활동이 많고 남·동쪽으로도 확산 중이라고 했다. 고인물 제거, 해질녘·새벽 기피제, 피부 노출 최소화를 권고한다. 보건당국은 지난주 기준 인체 감염 21건(작년 동기 1건)을 보고했고 클라벨 사례를 조사 중이라고 밝혔다.

내일 그레이트 파크 중추절 축제. 시 주최 제6회 중추절 축제는 9월 25일(금) 오후 5–9시 30분 그레이트 파크 팜 코트 아츠 콤플렉스(Great Park Blvd. 8000)에서 열린다. 입장·주차 무료이며 시 측은 2·4·5·6번 주차장과 여유 도착을 권한다. 공연·공예·전시·먹거리 등 동·동남아 중추절 전통 프로그램이 예정돼 있다.

한편 어바인 경찰은 잼보리 로드 Target에서 약 600달러 미결제 상품 절도와 카트 밀치기 용의자 2명의 제보를 요청했다. 도주 차량은 번호판 없는 회색 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. 제보: Detective Sampson, jsampson@cityofirvine.org.
