The future, as Spreckels sees it, is: When the operational problems with the water reclamation project are solved (engineering has developed a solution and these items are to be installed by the fall of 1977) together with the completion of the Highway 120 bypass, we are of the opinion that the odor level will be reduced to a minimum. SAN JOAgUIN COUN4.7 HEALTH DISTRICT, AIR POLLUTION BOARD: Due to the technical nature of these comments, following is a report we received from Joe Spano of the Air Pollution Control District. EMISSIONS OF AIR CONTAMIiNANTS FROM SPRECXE-LS SUGAR The San Joaquin County Air Pollution Control District was established pursuant to state law to provide local responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than motor vehicles. Therefore, the District's earliest efforts centered on identifying the various sources of emissions of air pollutants and inventorying the sources to quantify the actual rates at whic^ contaminants are being released into the atmosphere. The District's first recorded contact with Spreckels was a source inventory prepared on September 1, 1970. The District has updated this inventory from time to time and the latest inventory indicates that emissions of quantifiable air contaminants emanating from Spreckels Sugar during 1975 were as follows: 4.58 Tons per year of organic gases 111.67 Tons per year of particulate matter 527.55 Tons per year of oxides of nitrogen 43.59 Tons per year of sulfur dioxide 22.91 Tons per year of carbon monoxide From this data it is evident that the Spreckels plant is a major source of emissions of air contaminants. The equipment and processes which are the major sources of quantifiable amounts of pollution are the boilers, the carbon absorption system, the lime (6)
