Show 3 r STANDARD - May 23. 1974 Utah professor named to shale panel l)r. Thadis Box, dean of Utah State University' College of Natural Resources, has been appointed to the Interior Department's oil shale environmental advisory panel. Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, R Utah, said today's appointment of Dr. Box and Michael Strang, a Carbondale, Colo., rancher and member of the Colorado State Legislature, brings the panel up to its full strength of 28 members. The group will hold its second meeting in Rangely, Colo. The panel was established by Interior Secy. Rogers C. B. Morton in March to advise the department on environmental matters in supervising the development of the prototype oil shale leases in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. SPRING FESTIVAL--Th- e coming of spring was cele- brated by students of Roosevelt elementary school with the braiding of the traditional May Pole. Students and parents gathered at the Roosevelt park Thursday, May 16, for the May occassion. Kennecott programs control expenditure of over $175 million Kennecott Copper Corporation officials last week unveiled details of a smelter emission control program previously announced. Elements of the program were discussed during a press briefing by B. B. Smith, general manager, K. H. Matheson, Jr., project manager, environmental control program, and Dr. R. J. Heaney, process control and environmental engineer, of Utah Copper Division. It was explained that studies at the Utah smelter, some 18 miles west of Salt Lake City, showed extraordinary measures would be required to meet applicable ambient air quality standards. Contributing to especially challenging problems are a variety of sources of emissions, mountainous terrain and complex meteorological conditions. It was pointed out that major elements of the program, determined after comprehensive field and laboratory tests and engineering studies extending over several years, include extensive modification of the process gas handling equipment designed to capture pollutants, changes in the furnace area, additional sulfur collection facilities, a 1,200 foot stack and a computerized emission monitoring system to aid in controlling the level of smelter production. Three refractory-linecylindrical vessels will replace the present three reverberatory furnances. These s vessels produce an concentration sufficiently high to be treated in acid plants for removal of sulfur dioxide. Changes in the furnance area will necessitate installation of some additional processing equipment, including concentrate driers, equipment, pelletizing equipment and additional acid plant capacity. It was explained that the quality of ambient air depends on a number of S175-mil-lio- n d off-ga- g variables, including atmospheric dispersion, topography, height and distribution of emissions and the amount of emissions. Each of these variables must be considered in the design of air quality control systems. Unique topographic features near the Utah smelter and wind flow patterns found in the smelter area make the stack an important element in the plan for meeting air quality standards, it was explained. The computer monitoring system is designed to assure compliance with air quality standards when extremely adverse meteorological conditions prevail The system includes emission, air quality and meteorological monitoring networks, coupled to a computerized control center where forecasts are made of conditions which could lead to concentrations in excess of the standards. The forecasts then serve as the stimulus for action in the smeller to further abate sulfur dioxide emissions beyond the normal control level. Officials recalled that a contract for design, procurement and preliminary construction of facilities to comply with air quality standards was let in May, 1973, to Western Knapp Engineering Division of Arthur G. McKee and Company. Initial construction, including site preparation and foundation work, began last November. The project is scheduled to be completed in July, 1977. Other elements of the program and their approximate cost were summarized as follows: The 1,200 foot stack, $9 million; the flue system, $8 million; material handling and charge-dryin- g facilities, $10 million; plant buildings and auxiliaries to replace existing facilities, $3 million; increased electrical facilities, $3 million; new furnance area, $79 million; slag processing, $10 City Mrs. Telintha Rasnussen Horsemanship, ranch roping classes offered Stake Conference will be held May 26. Ballard ward will go to conference at 9 a.m. at the stake house, then to Sacrament meeting at 12 o'clock at Ballard. North Ballard will go to Sacrament meeting at 9 a.m. at Ballard and at 11:15 to conference in the stake building. There will not be any Sunday school held that Two classes will be held the week of June 3 to 7, which may be of interest to many basin residents. Western Horsemanship 160 will be taught with western pleasure riding in mind. Leads will be stressed as well as a light hand. Proper seat for walk, trot and gallop will be covered. Riders desiring to show in western pleasure classes at horse shows, could prepare by taking the class. Credit can be received. Western horsemanship 265 will be taught with western riding in mind. Slide stops, roll backs, backing lead changes, and pivots will be covered with training help for horses as well as riders. Reining patterns generally used in horse shows will be practised. Credit can also be obtained for this class. The queen contestant training class will be to prepare prospective female riders for competition in queen contests. It will deal with proper mounting, seat, patterns, dismounting and general horse handling. Additional instructions in dress and equipment will also be given. Instructors will be J. Wayne McArthur and Scott McKendrick. Times for various sections are still to be determined. Each section will run daily for one week two hours per day. Location for classes are still to be determined. Practical Ranch Roping A practical ranch roping class will be taught with students learning three calf loops, the horse loop, a flying half hitch and calf tying will be available if desired. Types of ropes, their uses and how to make a rope will be covered. Instructors for this course will be J. Wayne McArthur with Scott McKendrick assisting. The class will run daily for one week hours per day. Time and place to be determined later. Anyone interested in taking either one of these classes or desiring more information can call the Uintah Basin Education Center at or day. li 722-229- 789-363- 9 738-555- three existing plants upgraded to handle a higher concentration process gas and thus increase daily sulfuric acid orodur-tio900 tons to about 2,300 tons daily. The vessels to be used in the production of matte were developed by Noranda Mines Limited; however, certain modifications were devised by Kennecott in conjuction with Noranda to meet the production requirements of the division. n Your Car Needs Check-Up- s, Too You see your doctor at intervals, right?
