Included in the ~ museum is history of the John Sutter gold finding and the gold rush to California, Formation of pollution Formation of a countywide air pollution control district is being urged, but the most effective method of preserving air quality would be through a regional district. These are conclusions reached by a committee of Ne-. vada county citizens appointedto study the pollution problem and make recommendations. They urge that the county supervisors “take immediate steps to hold a public hearing for the purpose of forming a countywide air pollution control district." The supervisors responded by setting a public hearing for April 28 at 10:05 a.m. regarding an intention to form an air pollution control district. The committee's 13-page report makes six findings and conclusions, including ones about forming county or regional districts. Here is what the committee learned and passed on to the supervisors: --"To preserve the present air quality of Nevada county and to prevent it from deteriorating should be the primary concern of any air pollution control program. --"The 18,000 automobiles in Nevada county are contributing to the air pollution problem but are being controlled by the State of California.-="The lumber industry isthe largest source of air pollution in Nevada county, emitting approximately 2,785 pounds of particulate matter daily in 1967." --Particle emissions from — other Nevada county pollution sources are listed as follows: . automobile, . 448 pounds . daily; municipal solid waste aisposal (open. burning garbage dumps) --416 pounds; asphalt batch plants -82 pounds; rock, gravel and sand processing -2,985 pounds (high estimate, the report says); open residential burning, 66 pounds. --"In California, three administrative approaches are applicable: in. air pollution control by county : (1) enacting county ordinances, (2) forming a county air pollution control district and (8) joining force with other counties within the air basin to form a regional control district. -="The formation of a regional air pollution control district would be the most effective way to preserve the present and future air quality in Nevada county, bi While recommending a.countywide district immediately, the committee urges a regional district for the long range to "pool resources . with neigt ce Nene rca districturged — "The lower elevations of Nevada county are subject to temperature inversions (atmospheric layers in which temperature increases with height rather than decreases) which form an effective barrier against the vertical interchange of air and, incidentally, the dispersion of air pollution upward. "Inversions in Nevada county are due to two major causes: (i) the chilling of the air in contact with the ground due to the radiation inversions and (2) inversion produced by the general tendency for the air along the entire coast of California and Several hundred miles inland to sink toward earth from higher altitudes, This latter inversiop ... is present most of the spring, summer and fall. The base of this zone at approximately 4,000 feet divides the mountain climatic zone from the adjacent valley climatic zone." Classified Ads, the little fellows with the big pulling power
