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 —

sources are listed as follows:

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 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."
