Show Letter Con't. from Page 2 ing areas and now some of our top oceanographers are telling us that unless we clean up our waters, the oceans will be dead within 75 years. We can clean up land before we use it, and purify water before we drink it, but unless we are in an air conditioned room, we must breathe air as it comes to us. If the air is clean and free of pollutants, there are no problems. But if the air is saturated with chemicals and particulates, we still have no choice, and we still must inhale it and suffer the consequences. Because of man's demands for increased electrical power, we here in Southeastern Utah are not always going to have the relatively clear and clean air that we have so long enjoyed. The coal fired power plants that are in operation, under construction and on the drawing boards will pour smog into our clean air. The amount of pollutants they will produce is staggering to the mind. According to figures obtained from the Utah State Department of Health, Bureau of En- Record Juan San The vironmental Health, these plants will consume 171, 841 tons of coal per day. While doing this, they will produce 2, 248 tons of sulpher dioxide into the atmosphere. It is estimated that 1, 546 tons of nitrogen dioxide will go into the air; assuming 99. 5 overall removal of particulates these plants will still contaminate our air with 71 tons of CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS ARE GREAT, but sometimes funny old men with cameras can be temporarily more interesting if you're kindergarten age, and flashes are flashing.

We are told that fly ash has acidic properties and that this fly ash can accumulate on watersheds and through a period of time will be collected into streams and springs and eventually into resting areas such as ponds, reservoirs and lakes. If this is the case, what effect will the fly ash with its chemical properties have on the aquatic and fish life in these final resting areas?
