County schedules wastewater hearing By Brooks Dareff Of tha Emerald The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission will hold a public hearing on the design and con struction of a Phase I sludge handling system for the new Eugene /Springfield Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. Phase I consists of applying the dried-out sludge to agricultural land during the summer, storing it for the winter at the Short Mountain Landfill, and mechanically dehydrating it at the new regional wastewater treatment facility on River Avenue in Eugene. The treatment facility is scheduled to start up sometime next year. According to County Com missioner Jerry Rust, the treatment facility is the largest construction project in the history of Lane County. The proposed sludge handl ing system is called Phase I because the Short Mountain Landfill would be used only as a five-year temporary sludge disposal and storage site. The U.S. Environmental Pro tection Agency requested the hearing, which will take place Monday, June 27 at 7 p.m. at Harris Hall, 125 E. 8th Ave. The system of on-site sludge storage at the present treatment facility would be in adequate, according to the MWMC fact sheet on the June 27 hearing, because the new facility will produce too much sludge to be accomodated by the facility itself. The permanent site date was delayed last year by area residents whose opposition to the project required the EPA to prepare an environmental impact statement on the pro posed project, which postpon ed the design and construc tion of permanent sludge facilities until some time after the planned 1984 start-up date. The June 27 hearing is in tended to provide a forum for people who did not participate in the March 3 hearing on Phase I, says an MWMC official Several citizens raised en vironmental concerns regar ding the sludge's storage at the Short Mountain Landfill at the March 3 hearing. Debate centered on surface water contamination, ground water contamination and odor problems. An MWMC fact sheet for the June 27 hearing states, “the concerns have been evaluated thoroughly and a determina tion has been made that the current design and operation of the Short Mountain Landfill adequately addresses and mitigates all environmental questions, including those raised at the hearing.” According to Rust, the Lane County Board of Commis sioners were satisfied with the MWMC’s environmental assessments, as long c^s the Short Mountain Landfill would only be used as a temporary storage site. With this assurance, the County Com missioners signed an order on May 18 to enter into an in tergovernmental agreement with MWMC to allow the disposal of sludge at the landfill. On May 18 the Lane County Board of Commissioners and the MWMC signed an order to allow the disposal of sludge at the landfill. Cash For Textbooks Mon.-Fri. Smith Family Bookstore 768 E. 13th 1 Bl.

He was wearing blue jeans and a white shirt, possibly with blue stripes. The girl and her 8-year-old girlfriend, who were par ticipating in summer sports activities at the University, were sitting on the grass out side Gerlinger’s South side, when the man approached them and asked if they would help carry some sports equipment. They agreed to help and the man led them into Gerlinger, leaving one girl outside the locker room and bringing the other into the shower area where he sexually assaulted her: The girl did not report the incident until one hour later. Despite these crimes “things have been very quiet" around campus, Allison said. Students were "fairly well behaved" at the end of the term compared to last year, when dormitory vandalism was more prevalent. “This year we made an ef fort to reduce vandalism and people were cooperative,” he said.
