Lakeview radiation dump cleanup delayed LAKEVIEW (AP) — State officials say they are worried about the delay entailed in a federal plan for cleaning up a 25-year-old radiation hazard near this south-central Oregon town. A new schedule in the federal plan calls for delaying the cleanup from 1985 until 1987. State officials say they fear federal funding for the cleanup may disappear during the two-year delay. The money is needed to cover up an estimated 400,800 cubic yards of radioactive wastes and contaminated soil. An internal U.S. Department of Energy planning document says the cleanup will likely involve covering radioactive waste deposits rather than moving deposits to a new site away from populated areas and wetlands. State Energy Department officials said last week the tentative plan does not offer a sure way to prevent radioactive isotopes from continuing to seep into shallow groundwater near Lakeview. The Lakeview Radiation Council, a local public interest group, supports either putting a water-tight liner under the wastes or mov ing them to a new site. Relations between Oregon and federal of ficials have been strained because of the con trovery surrounding the plan. State Energy Department Director Lynn Frank demanded a resolution of the dispute in a strongly word ed letter Aug. 26. That prompted the federal Department of Energy to agree to send representatives this month to make peace. Oregon officials pushed the Energy Depart ment to move quickly to clean up the Lakeview site after prodding from concerned residents. But the federal agency accused the Oregon Department of Energy of taking too long in signing an agreement to spell out federal and state cleanup duties. Mark Matthews, a nationwide uranium waste cleanup project director, said federal officials sun nave noi pti^uducu me 3»aic sign. He said the Lakeview cleanup was postponed for two years to work on higher priority sites elsewhere in the country where the work is ready to begin. Matthews said state-federal coordination problems and a lack of money are responsi ble for the delay. The wastes, about 15 miles north of the California border, were left by a now-defunct uranium mining and milling company. The mine changed hands several times un til it was bought in 1977 by Atlantic Richfield Co. ARCO covered the tailings, containing radium, thorium and other isotopes. et al.
