122—Lancaster Famine, Saturday, December 16,1978 New air and water pollution regulations are being made HARRISBURG - Public comment on possible new air and water pollution control regulations being proposed by the Department of En vironmental Resources (DER) is being solicited by the Environmental Quality Board. The proposed changes in air quality control regulations deal with sulfur dioxide and volatile organic compounds. DER proposes to relax sulfur dioxide standards in some locations of the State while tightening them in others. The requested changes are based on scientific studies relating current levels of emissions to ability to meet Federal ambient air standards. Where possible, the Department is seeking a new standard which is 80 per cent of the national standard so there is a margin for error and in dustrial growth. In areas where the stan dards can be relaxed without jeopardizing air quality, utilities and other large users will be able to burn fuel with higher con centrations of sulfur and thus save on fuel costs. Where the standards must be tightened to meet the Federal requirements, fuel costs will nse. Volatile organic com pounds must be controlled for the State to work toward meeting the Federal stan dard on photochemical oxidants. The elements of the proposed plan are stationary source control for Volatile Organic Compounds, transportation control measures in six urban areas and a vehicle emission control inspection and maintenance program in six urban areas The urban areas involved in the latter two strategies a* e Allentown - Bethlehem - Easton, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Harrisburg "in Southwest a- .1 Snuthea-.t ’■’mnsvlvama fnanges . aat« A COAL STOVE FIRST' For brochures on the Surdiac Southport Coal Stoves as well as MORSO Cast Iron Stoves and Fireplaces and Efel Wood/Coal Stoves, write to SLENWOO!)

Walter A. Lyon, Director of the DERR Bureau of Water Quality Management, told the Board that through the Department’s public participation activities 860 people have attended hearings on these proposed standards and 3,500 pages of testimony and comments have been reviewed by the staff. The Quality Board agreed to publish both the air and water quality regulations in the “Pennsylvania Bulletin” to receive public comment and agreed to hold five hearings around the State on the air quality changes and one hearing in Harrisburg on the water quality proposals. Informational materials on the proposals are available from the En vironmental Quality Board, Box 1467, Harrisburg, Pa. 17120.

Many of these trees were cut weeks ago and shipped long distances. If one lives in an area where he can get his Christmas tree from a local grower, he can be assured of a fresh tree by going to the farm and cutting it himself or having it cut when one calls for it. In either case, what one does with the tree after he gets it home will determine its appearance and safety when it is set up indoors. Charolais show set SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Charolais breeders from throughout the United States, and from several foreign countries, will gather here Jan. 30 to Feb. 2 for the 22nd annual mem bership meeting of the American-International Charolais Association.
