Judge allows Siuslaw spraying
By Aleta Zak
Of th* Emerald
U.S. land management officials were
granted permission Thursday to continue
spraying herbicides in the Siuslaw National
Forest while the government appeals a recent
federal injunction banning the spraying.
Robert Belloni, a U.S. district court judge,
issued the stay at a Eugene hearing Thursday.
In an April 20 ruling, Belloni ordered the U.S.
Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Manage
ment to stop spraying in the Siuslaw Forest un
til they conduct more research on possible
health hazards.
The stay takes effect next Thursday, allow
ing the forest service to keep spraying herb
icides in' the Siuslaw Forest and surrounding
area. The government can continue spraying
until a ruling is made on the appeal.
But Paul Merrell, a Tidewater resident who
filed the original suit against the government in
1981, said he plans to file an emergency appeal
today in an attempt to get the stay overturned.
“We wouldn’t be doing it if we didn’t think
the appeal had a chance,” said Merrell. The ap
peal documents will be filed in San Francisco
headquarters for the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals.
Merrell, who is acting as his own attorney
in the suit, said he is uncertain when the ruling
would come in the emergency appeal.
“It’s still a victory for us," said Merrell.
“The judge is not backing down on his original
ruling to require the health studies.”
The case has pitted Merrell against BLM
and Department of Agriculture officials.
Merrell is a disabled Vietnam veteran
whose wife, Carol Van Strum, believes her
bicide spraying may have caused the two abor
tions she had while living in the controversial
Five Rivers drainage area.
Merrell attempted to show that the govern
ment had not conducted proper studies on the
impact spraying herbicides had on human
health.
During the trial, he contended that the
spraying was responsible for several miscar
riages and birth defects suffered by residents
of the Five Rivers area.
Belloni also decided Thursday to allow a
group of coastal area residents to intervene in
Merrell’s case, making it a class-action suit.
The 15 residents filed a motion Monday attemp
ting to apply the case to the entire Coast Range
portion of the Siuslaw.
However, the judge did not rule on what
specific areas the spraying ban would cover.
He said he would decide what areas to include
after studying some maps of the area.
During Thursday’s hearing, an attorney
representing the BLM and forest service tried
to show trees would be badly damaged if spray
ing is halted while studies are made.
But Fred Miller, coordinator for the
Eugene-based Northwest Coalition for Alter
natives to Pesticides, testified that cutting
brush by hand or by individual cans of weed
killer are alternative methods to aerial her
bicide spraying while the studies are
conducted.
