Watson commented adversely on an agreement between the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and the developers of a power plant in Alameda County, near Livermore, by which the developer would pay $200,000 to the district in mitigation of pollution that would be blown into the San Joaquin Valley by the predominantly easterly winds over the Altamont Pass. The funds would be used to upgrade farmers' diesel pumps or replace their trucks or tractors, among other possibilities. Those engines will be purchased and we will get no gain out of it, he said.
