Enforcement Is Seen for Open Fires
Auto wreckers using open
fires to gut old cars have been
warned that strict new enforce
ment measures will go into ef
fect in mid-January.
David Savage, air pollution
specialist for the Air Quality
Control Section of the Depart
ment of Natural Resources,
said that letters explaining the
new procedures have been
mailed to more than a dozen of
the state’s largest auto
wreckers, and that many
smaller operations have re
ceived informal notification.
Each of these wreckers has
been asked to notify the De
partment by Jan. 15, 1973, of
the steps they plan to take to
come into compliance with
Georgia’s air quality control
regulations.
Those who don’t come into
compliance, Savage noted,
ultimately could be fined up to
SI,OOO for an initial violation,
and SSOO per day for each
subsequent violation.
He said, however, that the
Winter Quarter
Registration Is
Set at WCATS
Registration for the winter
quarter at Walker County Area
Technical School, Rock Spring,
will be held Tuesday, Jan. 2,
1973.
Applications are now being
accepted for the following
classes: appliance servicing,
heating and air conditioning,
electronics, machine shop,
plant maintenance, radio and
television repair, business edu
cation, and welding.
All courses are approved by
the Veterans Administration
for attendance under the G1
Bill. Additional information
may be obtained by contacting
the school.

department will avoid such

preferring to reach some

Although strict regulations
have been in effect since March
of 1972, Savage said, strong
enforcement measures have
been tempered by the realiza
tion that environmentally ac
ceptable methods have not
been available to Georgians.
Now, however, there are six
auto shredders and three
incinerators nearby, he said.
