From Simpson's SEPA (environmental checklist for their incinerator) document we have this masterpiece of doubletalk:
Q: What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed?
A: Historically, from the 1930's through 1984, Simpson owned and operated a large cogeneration boiler that supported two large stack towers, 250 feet and 150 feet, respectively. These units were removed and replaced with the current boiler and stack, 92 feet in height. The new cogeneration boiler proposal will resume Simpson's history of efficient energy production with a stack height of 140 feet, significantly smaller than previous structures.
So a stack that is 48 feet taller becomes "significantly smaller". How creative!
I think the SEPA needs another look. What other little tidbits of manipulation and deceit are waiting to be discovered?
I wonder if they will go back to spewing so much ash on the town that folks can't hang their clothes out to dry too?
