COD CT A TC CAAni Apr St. Petersburg Times, Saturday, Dec. 14, 1968 3B Minto Defends Comments On Pollution As "Not Negativistic' Times Bureau SARASOTA Wallace L. chairman of the Sarasota County Advisory Committee on Air and Water Pollution Mining, has notified Manatee County officials that his recent comments on their code were "not Intended as negativistic criticism." In a letter to Chris Angeli-dis, pollution control director of Manatee County, Minto ex-plained the remarks made in a letter Dec. 4 to the Sarasota County Minto said the crux of his report was that his committee is opposed to any lowering of "our present standards for the sole purpose of making them uniform with those of Manatee County or the state of Florida." In support of the committee's conclusion, Minto said the report contained certain specific facts.

As one point, Minto said, Sarasota code is more stringent and comprehensive than that of Manatee or the state, adding "I trust you will agree to the correctness of that observation." The report also stated the opinion of the Sarasota committee that the air pollution provision of the Manatee code will not meet the criteria of the federal government and directed attention to a report "Air Quality Criteria for Sulfur Oxide" issued by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare on March 22, 1967. The Manatee code per mits, in the committee's opinion, a sulfure dioxide content of ambient (surrounding) air at a property line higher than what the U.S. Department sets. Minto further states that Sarasota's code on air pollution is in conformity with the federal report.

Minto also notes that the Manatee code embodies no water quality standard, there fore does not meet federal water quality standards. Sarasota's code, Minto added, meets or surpasses all federal criteria to date for air and water quality and in some instances surpasses it. Minto also told Angelidis the committee disagrees with "your public comment that Sarasota's code is too inclu sive and tight, hence unenforceable." He continued that in the past year and a half all major operations in the county which were initially in violation have made the necessary changes and now meet or surpass standards. Tests, Minto said, show that Sarasota's air quality has actually "improved since implementation of our code" de spite great growth of population and Industry. "We note with pleasure that the air coming in from Manatee is also better than a year ago for which our thanks." Minto added.

He concluded the committee Is ready at any time to defend and justify the rigorous and comprehensive standards "we now have."
