Abstract
  • A preliminary report to the Fifty-fifth legislative assembly, February 1969. This is a preliminary report of a two-year study that was authorized by the Fifty-fourth Legislative Assembly in 1967. The study was aimed at providing means of lessening air pollution from disposal of wood and bark residues by forest products industries. The final re­port summarizing conclusions of the study will be published in August 1969. Included in the study are a statewide survey of wood and bark residues; a transportation cost study; an investigation of three methods for disposing of residues, 1, burning in a wigwam burner, 2, burning in other types of incinerators, 3, disposal by landfill; and an investi­gation of three means of utilization: 1, as fuel, 2, on the soil, and 3, wax extraction from bark. In Oregon, use of wood residues for paper and composition board manufacture has increased greatly in the last 14 years. Only 6 percent of woo::! residues from sawmills and plywoo::l plants was used for paper and composition board in 1953, compared to about 60 percent in 1967. Quantity of residues being burned in wigwam burners has been conse­quently reduced in recent years. Utilization will continue to increase in the future and quantities of wood and bark requiring disposal will decrease.
