~ANDER~~tA would otherwise have J be dumped in the county's dwindling landfills. The plant was designed to burn 2,250 tons of trash a day ancf, m the process. generate electncal power for homes. San D1egans for Clean Air, however, claims the plant also will release into the atmosphere 10 to 12 tons of toxic pollutants a day that will threaten the health of 500,000 residents. "This is simply a dumb proposal to put a 19-story incinerator - the biggest in the state of California - m the middle of the ctty, which would add tons of toxic pollutants each day and affect the health of a half-million people,' said Simmons. - · He said the initiative campaign was launched after the San Diego City Council failed to bi! persuaded by the opponents' presentation of scientific evidence showing the dangerous health consequences of the plant, and opposition by the Lun_g_A.s.s~on of San Diego and Imperial counties, the San Diego~ergy Society and other groups. "They haven't shown any signs of charging their minds. This is our last resort,' ' said Simmons , The goal of the initiative campaign is to place a measure on the November 1987 ballot in San Diego t ,at would, through zoning regulations, prohibit the construction of these types of plants. "If the measure 1s successful, it would prevent the SANDER facility as proposed from bemg sited and operated, but 1t would also prevent · other plant-trash incinerators iJl other areas of the city by amending the city general plan," said Simmons. Smunons said four other similar plants are included in the county's solid-waste management plan for the futJre, two withm the city and . two in the metropolitan area. San Diegans for Clean Air needs ,•bout 54.000 signatures of registered voters to qualify the measJre for the ballot. but is attempting to gather 75,000 signatures to offset invalid signatures. The

signatures must be obtained by June 2. Plant opponents have hired The La Jolla Group as political consultants for the campaign. This is the same consulting firm that handled the promotion of county Proposition A - the so-called jail tax on the the Nov 4 election ballot - which was defeated by voters. Simmons said the campaign organization wants to raise $50,000 for the campaign, and Sl0,000 of that already has been contributed. The final decision on the SANDER plant rests with the California Energy Commission, which is scheduled to act one way or the other in December of next year. Signal Environmental Systems, however, has been told by state and county officials that its application to construct the plant does not adequately address potential hazards of the facility, and they won't continue to review the plans until this information is provided. Signal officials say tb.ey intend to submit the necessary information by February. Simmons said San Diego officials ought to explore alternative trash disposal methods such as "source separation" systems, where dangerous materials, such as plastic, are separated out of the trash. Many of these kinds of systems are successfully operating in other parts of the country, he said. . Rep~blican Assemblyman Larry Stirling is lending his support to the mmanve campaign. Stirling authored AB-2988 last year which would have impbsed a statewide moratorium on trash-to-energy plants such as SANDER until concerns about toxic pollutants and other health questions were adequately addressed. The measure, however, died in the Assembly atural Resources Committee. According to the county Air Pollution Control District, the maximum impact zones for the SANDER plant are the Patrick Henry High School area in San Carlos and the Mount Soledad area. _/
