White, Mr. Nash, and Mr. Spano met at the &1 Rancho Mobile Home Park with a committee of Manteca citizens concerned about the odors from Spreckels Sug-ar. It was apparently this group which had brought the odor problem to Assemblyman Perino's attention. The committee stated that the Manteca residents which they represent had endured the odors from Spreckels Sugar long enough and that they had now united to seek a means of abating the odors which they . considered a nuisance. One member of the committee also complained about . fugitive beet pulp d-ast being carried into the air by the wind. The committee also expressed its concern about the effects of the emissions from Spreckels on the health of the people in receptor areas. Mr. Johnson c` he ARB explained to the committee that action to abate odor nuisances must be initiated by filing complaints with the appropriate regulating agency. He further recommended that complaints be filed with the San Joaquin County Air Pollution Control District since the local District has the rrima'y responsibility for controlling air pollution from stationary sources: On May 9, 1977 the Air Resources Board followed up its investigation with a letter to the Distpict recommending that complaints received by the District be forwarded to the District Attorney for proper disposition. As a result, the District transmitted the first four complaints which it received to the District Attorney on May 25, 1977. The District Attorney's staff has the background and experience to properly investigate the complaints and to pursue any legal remedies deemed appropriate through the courts. (10)
