Erection of the baghouses is expected to begin early next month and both units will be in full operation by next March, Sandstrom said, in complete compliance with a federal Environmental Protection Agency timetable. The baghouses will operate as huge filters, collecting particulates and then allowing the cleaned gas stream to go up the plant's chimneys. Tests have shown that approximately 70 percent of the emissions from the chimneys are salt. While the salt level exceeds federal air-quality standards, it isn't harmful to humans or animals. The salt content is high because the power plant uses large amounts of bark for fuel to produce steam for mill operations. The bark absorbs and retains salt while bundles of mill-bound logs are temporarily stored in Oakland Bay on the Shelton industrial waterfront. Fourteen "bag modules" will be used in the baghouses, eight in one and six in the other. Each module, roughly I0 feet by 10 feet by 20 feet, contains 196 "bags" or filters to trap the salt. The solids will be collected periodically for disposal. The Mason County Branch of the Puget Sound Blood Council has announced that 171 people donated blood at the September 18 blood drawing.
