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.

Crew counts wild
animals they see
There are a lot of wild animals
in the woods in Mason County, a
survey crew for Simpson Timber
Company found in records they
kept over a year.
The crew kept a record of the

stressed that the records include
only the animals they saw during
working hours in the places they
were working.
Deer proved to be the most
numerous with 148 sighted. This
was followed by grouse, which
were sighted 88 times. Others
include 34 hawks, 12 coyotes, 10
eagles, six herds of elk, two owls
(one of them a pygmy owl), one
bobcat, one weasd, one flying
squirrel, nine rabbits, one
porcupine, one mink, two quail,
three pheasant and four raccoon.
Mrs. McGee, on behalf of the
members of the blood council,
expressed appreciation to all
those who donated.
"This makes it possible for
anyone in our area to receive
blood in any of the Puget Sound
hospitals at no charge for the
blood used," she said.
Appreciation was also
expressed to members of the

The world can never fill.
