Eastalco Chief Defends Emissions Impact in Damages Suit
Eastalco Aluminum Co. President Harvey P. Armintrout testified in a Frederick County court damage suit filed by Buckeystown farmers. He said average fluoride emissions run 856 pounds daily over Adamstown and may spread beyond the plant site though precise dispersion varies with weather. He argued emissions would not cause economic loss or raise crop fluoride beyond 40 parts per million, while acknowledging a nonpositive trend in 1974 and noting $8 million in pollution controls were installed with a second potline in 1976. The trial, before Judge Samuel W. Barrick, is expected to last weeks, with questions about reductions and measurements remaining.
