NO. 4 IN A SERIES: Questions about the cam potability of Alumax with Oregon's liuibility.
Is it possible for us
to have a healthy
environment and an
aluminum reduction plant?
As a wheat and cattle rancher, I want
to be assured our area will maintain its
high standard of livability.

iNONEofthe finest
tural areas in the
iorthwest. It also
just happens to have assets which
potentially make it one of the most
attractive industrial centers in this
part of the country. There's no rea
son the two types of activity can't
coexist in the same area, provided
the environmental impacts of the
new industries are compatible wiih
agricultural production.
"The first real test of this com
patability has been raised by the
proposed Alumax aluminum plant. ,
But, knowing Oregon's Depart
ment of Environmental Quality
has a reputation for heing one of
the most careful and stringent en
vironmental regulatory agencies in
the country, and that they will
make the final decision as to the
environmental acceptability of the
Alumax plant. I feel we really have
nothing to worry about. If the plant
is approved, it will mean Alumax
will have negligible impact upon
the surrounding area and upon our
public health and welfare. I am
told by Alumax that before the
Dt.Q makes their decision, the fol
lowing questions are the tvpes of
things they will consider. If Alu
max can meet the DFQs tough
standards, that's good enough for
me."
What hinds of environmental controls
will Alumas um?
Although the U.S. Fnvironmental
Protection Agency has established
a standard for fluoride emissions
from new aluminum plants of no
more than two pounds per ton of
aluminum produced. Oregon's
standards require that these emis
sions be kept to one pound.
In order to meet Oregon's stan
dard. Alumax went to aluminum
plants throughout the world to
evaluate the latest and best avail
able technology. They found no
single plan utilizing all this tech
nology. Alumax has combined the
best available resources into a total
control system which will meet
Oregon's requirements.
Now ihat Alumax has demon
strated that these standards can be
met. and designed the cleanest
aluminum plant presently planned
anv where in the world, the) may
have established a new environ
mental standard for all future alu
minum reduction plants in the U S
In th past, fluorides Irom other alu
minum plants have effected agricul
tural production al other location.
Can wa risk letting Alumas locate in
on of our key developing agricul
tural artas?
Because Alumax has insisted upon
environmental security. thev have
contracted with nationally known
fluoride experts lo evaluate pi
lential effect of their emissions
upon vegetation and animals in the
area.

Dr. Harrison t.. Cramer, nation
ally recognized air pollution scien
tist, used plant emission data and
local meteorological conditions lo
project short and long term flu
oride concentrations over the sur
rounding area. I luoride experts,
after visiting the local area und re
viewing current land use. evaluated
the effect of Alumax's fluoride
emissions on local vegetation and
animals. Dr. John W. Suttie, an
expert in the clfccl of fluoride on
animals, concluded that the fluo
ride concentrations from this
aluminum reduction facility would
have no adverse effect on cattle
production in this area or any other
livestock enterprise. Dr. Michael
Treshow, a consulting plant pathol
ogist, projected no injury to exist
ing vegetation.
Ar Alumax's air t minions going to
endanger the local population?
The National Academy of Science
has found that airborne fluoride
concentrations that produce no
effect on vegetation are also neg
ligible in terms of possible adverse
effect on man. This is in keeping
with Df.Q standards which provide
for the protection of public health
and welfare.
Dr. John W. Sutue has concluded
that wildfowl could salely nest
right on the Alumax property.
Will Alumax endanger the aquatic
III of any of Oregon's lakes and
rivrs?
Alumax will discharge mi process
water into the Columbia or any
other waterway. Beak Consultants,
aquatic biologists, projected the
effect of sulphur dioxide and flu
oride emissions from the plant and
concluded Ihat there would be no
measurable change in Columbia
River water quality or aquatic life.
Won't Alumas discharge black
smoke, contaminants, and odors Into
the air?
There will be no black smoke or
odors discharged by the plant. Ihe
atmospheric discharge of air con
taminants will meet the Dl Q s
