It will, when fully operational, consume 60:iOOO tons of coal each day and produce enough electricity to .satisfy seven states the size of Utah. Most of this power will be transmitted to southern California for consumption. The Kaiparowits Plant will discharge into the air more nitrogen oxides than all the motor vehicles in the State, more sulfur dioxide than Kennecott, and as much particulate material as all other Utah industries combined. This plant, however., is only one of six gargantuan facilities planned for the southwestern U.S. and only one of two planned for Utah. As presently designed, none of these plants will remove nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, or unhur:v00 hydro.:::;arbons from their emissions and will not have the best available equipment fo-r removing particulate matter. On Wednesday_, May 26, Senator Frank E. Moss will hold hearings on the environ..mental aspects o:f these plants in the State Office Building Auditorium in Salt Lake City. The hearings are tentatively scheduled to start at 9 AM. If you wish to testify, you should make a written request to this e.ffect in advance of the hearings. Direct your request to Senator Frank E.
