From the Warm Springs Tribal Council the resolution opposing the plant states,” the T r i b a l C o u n c il o f th e Confederated Tribes of Warm S p rin g s R e s e rv a tio n of Oregon...hereby declares its opposition to the construction of the proposed garbage processing plant adjacent to the C hem aw a In d ia n S chool campus in Salem, Oregon. “ C o n s tr u c tio n o f th e proposed garbage processing plant near the Chemawa Indian School will impair the quality of the environment in the area of the Chemawa Indian School campus.” A similar statement was issued by the Siletz Tribal Council reading, “evidence indicates that this burning plant could lead to serious environm ental and public health problems...The Tribal Council of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon hereby declares its opposition to the proposed construction of the garbage burning processing plant near the Chemawa Indian School campus in Salem, Oregon.” P o rtla n d A rea In d ia n Health Service Director S.C. Stitt in a letter sent to Chemawa principal Gerald Urey expressed concern for students and staff at the school pointing out the risks to include air quality being decreased, the possibility of water contam ination and a diminished supply due to the plant’s use of 432,000 gallons per day, roadside litter with increased traffic, and danger to the students with the passing of 243 plant vehicles per day. Evidence has indicated that g a rb a g e b u rn in g p la n ts constructed across the nation have created problems from increased noise to ash fallout. With the school being located in a valley closed in by mountain ranges the danger of pollution is high. O ther in d u strie s in th e valley contribute to the problem. The board of commissioners f o r M a rio n C o u n ty is concerned for the disposal of waste. A 500 acre landfill recently purchased south of Salem will act as a disposal site until the plant is completed if approved and will also be used as a back-up if the plant should fail for mechanical reasons. An alternative site for the plant has been suggested and is available. Citizens in the area suggest it be used. A p p ro v a l o f th e site depends upon the Marion County Board of Commis sioners at this point. Any comments concerning the plant’s construction may be directed to: Marion County Board of C om m issioners, County Court House, Salem, Oregon 97301 or Chemawa board member Olney Patt, Sr. An early morning accident claimed the life of a Warm S p rin g s resid e n t, F a b ia n Sutterlee Sr., age 42.
