relatively small But Mr. Hart emphasized that the pollution _ involved was not just smoke
soot and grime but in a number
of cases included exotic polchemicals and fumes
that could be far more dan-
gerous
said
The department also said that
there were large plants such as
those of Phelps Dodge in
Queens and U.S. Gypsum on
Staten Island on the list of
plants not yet officially served
withHeaHreinagrs ingshave alraleraedaydy been
. set up through the first week

Smelting and Refining Company

hearing . that as a result of the an agreement had been reached
with the company
on a schedule
for its compliance with pollucode regulations
The second hearing scheduled for yesterday afternoon was for National Dye Works Inc. of Ridgewood Queens Mr. Hart said but no one from the
company showed up
Mr. Hart detailed the chro-
nology of the stepped activity against industrial polluters
Months ago an Air Resources
Department man task force
headed by Ben Radzka and including engineers and inspectors was set up to iden tify the problem and to con-
centrate on the worst industrial
offenders
Starting last February and continuing through May the task force mailed out notices to
the 250 worst offenders point-
ing out violations and giving
the companies 30 days to com-
Half ply with regulations
of
those notified complied suf-
ficiently to get off the blacklist according to the depart-
ment
It is against the remaining 125 alleged offenders that the department is now moving with 70 of the notices already sent out The new campaign goes far beyond another method used by the department-
the issuing of a summons which can result in a fine of
25 to 200 in court
Under the cause pro-
cedure the department is em-
powered to require a schedule for compliance or issue an order sealing the equipment closing it down until compli-
ance
In addition to Nassau Smelt-
ing and National Dye Works

ceived cause notices fol-
