horrific stuff" said Kaminski who for the past 11 years stopped building in Wrightwood since the state health department imposed it in November 1987 And It would please fire officials we need the tank

Assemblyman Paul Woodruff and First District County Supervisor Marsha Turoci The whole situation came up because Caltrans had asked the company to produce a kind of asphalt that takes a medium length of time to set The material used to patch roads is more convenient but more malodorous than the conventional "slow asphalt said Caltrans regional manager Bob Huff However he said it creates a problem for anybody we're willing to switch" does have a strong kerosene smell" said Richard Wales compliance manager for the air pollution control district all worked out" said Don Chaffin district manager
