A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA ENDORSING THE BAN
ON CONSTRUCTION OF SMOG PRODUCING POWER
PLANTS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
WHEREAS, large stationary electrical power plants using
fossil-fueled steam generators contribute significantly to air
pollution in the Los Angeles basin; and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles basin cannot tolerate any more
air pollution; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors, in their capacity as
the Air Pollution Control Board, has enacted stringent regulations
for controlling emissions from new power plants, Rule 67; and
WHEREAS, using available technology, large power plants
cannot be designed so as to comply with Rule 67.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council
hereby expresses its support for the action of the Los Angeles
County Board of Supervisors in banning new construction of large
fossil-fueled power plants until such time as such plants can comply
with Rule 67 and thereby operate without significant pollution of
the air.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution.
