Alliance members said Friday
Portland General Electric officials
appear to have given different in
formation to TDA representa
tives and the news media.
At a meeting last Wednesday to
discuss plans for next Friday’s oc
cupation of the Trojan Nuclear
Power Plant, PGE officials said
the Visitors' Information Center
would be closed during the occu
pation because of the Thanksgiv
ing holiday.
Steve Loy, PGE public relations
manager, told the Emerald that
the Visitors’ Center would be
closed for security reasons.

A
ment to the Emerald that “The
TDA leadership...doesn’t neces
sarily have complete control over
the demonstrators," was inaccu
rate.
"We don't have a leadership,"
Simon emphasized. “All decisions
are made by the entire group —
we never said anything at the
meeting about not having control
over demonstrators."
Everyone participating in the
occupation must go through the
TDA non-violent training, Simon
said.
“We wouldn’t let anyone spon
taneously join the occupation,” he
said.
The Environmental Protec
tion Agency (EPA) wants more
nursing mothers from the Siuslaw
National Forest area to volunteer
for a study that will analyze human
milk for traces of dioxin.
Dioxin is a poison used in her
bicides intensively sprayed in the
national forest to control under
growth.
Milk samples from Oregon will
be collected next week.
Mothers interested in volunteer
ing for the study should contact

Oregon can lay claim to the
Northwest’s only hazardous
waste disposal site. Deadly pes
ticides, acids, mercury and other
dangerous debris from industry
and agriculture are stored in
trenches in the High Plateau in
Eastern Oregon.
Chem-Nuclear Systems Inc.
opened the site in May 1976. It
accepts everything at the burial
site except radioactive waste
materials.
"The fundamental fact about
hazardous wastes,” according to
a U S. Environmental Protection
Agency publication, "is that they
are a menace to human health
and the environment. They can
poison, bum, maim, blind and kill
people and other living or
ganisms."
The Oregon Department of En
vironmental Quality monitors the
site and must approve each ship
ment of waste buried there.
The Emerald plans an in-depth
story on the site and its operation.
Tom Henstead, bike path
planner for the city of Portland,

PIRG board, will ride the "D''
Street path at 2 p.m. and will
speak in the EMU at 4 p.m., room
to be posted.

Environmentalists say new
changes in federal clean water
laws will slow the pace of cleaning
up the nation s waterways.
The revisions, approved Nov.
17 by a House-Senate conference
committee, extend by a year the
deadlines industries must meet to
install improved water pollution
equipment. The revisions also ac
cept less efficient equipment.
Larry Silverman of the Clean
Water Action project said the revi
sions mark a step backward in pol
lution control.
A spokesperson for another en
vironmental group called the
changes "a disappointment
But industry spokespersons
said the committee s agreement
represented 'a reasonable com
promise between environmental
and economic concerns.
The changes are included in a
bill authonzing the expenditure of
$24.5 billion through 1982, mostly
on federal grants for local sewage
treatment plants.
The committee also eased re
quirements designed to preserve
the nation's environmentally deli
cate wetlands.
The conference committee
lifted a requirement that the Army
Corps of Engineers and the
Bureau of Reclamation meet
stnngent requirements before be
ginning to dredge or fill in wet
lands.
The conferees replaced that re
quirement with one requesting
preparation of environmental im
pact statements for each project
before congressional approval is
given.
