A RESOLUTION OF WE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF BMJNIN PARK URGING THAT
ALL APPROPRIATE ACTION BE TAKEN TO
ASSURE THAT THE SUPPLY OF NATURAL
US TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS NOT
REDUCED
MEREAS, Los Jtageles County ore than twelve years ago was the first
jurisdiction in the nation to outlaw the burning of high sulfur fuel oil
for the purpose of controlling air pollution; and
IMEREAS, pOMer plants in Las Angeles Cowty rely on natural gas and
low sulfur fuel oil to elimnate air pollution consisting of 455 tons
per day of sulfur dioxide, 40 tons per day of particulates, and 205 tons
per day of oxides of nitrogen; and
MHEREAS, no other technologically feasible eans to acccplish this
control strategy is available; and
WEREAS. the El Paso Natural Gas Co^any presently is seeking
approval of the Federal Power Ct—ission for a plan for curtailing
deliveries of natural gas, which plan will either severely reduce or
cc^letely elimnate the SBOUII of natural gas available to power
plaits in Los Angeles County; and
MEREAS, the world supply of low sulfur fuel oil is tenuous and
there is a strong likelihood that if natural gas is co^iletely curtailed,
power plants in Los Angeles County will have to bum as uch as 70 illion
barrels of high sulfur fuel oil yearly; and
MEREAS, the burning of large quantities of high sulfur fuel oil
will result in ataospheric pollution of such severity as to damge
property and cause illness;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the President of the United
States, wber of Congress representing Los Angeles County and the
Enviromental Protection Agency be called upon to take all appropriate
action to assure that the supply of natural gas to Los Angeles County
is not reduced; and
