Sohio, in its effort to build an oil terminal at Long Beach, Calif., has signed an agreement with California to spend $78 million to install a scrubber and other antipollution equipment at a Southern California Edison Co. powerplant, including about $60 million for the scrubber and $18 million for a nitrogen oxide reduction system. The trade-off agreement requires Sohio to eliminate more emissions than it will create at the proposed terminal, which will receive Alaskan crude. The project must still be aproved by a referendum vote in Nov. 1978 and by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and its regional agency, the South Coast Air Quality Management District. According to Sohio, the firm has obtained about one-third of the 715 permits required for the project. According to T. Quinn (Calif. Air Resources Board), the powerplant's sulfur dioxide emissions will be cut by approx. 6132 lb/day, particulate matter by approx. 1047 lb/day, and nitrogen oxide emission by approx. 7911 lb/day; and the terminal's emissions will average 2740 lb of sulfur dioxide, 3288 lb of nitrogen oxides, 822 lb of hydrocarbons, and 466 lb of particulate matter.
