On the surface, Portland's proposal to barge waste sludge up the Columbia River for application on farm land in Morrow County may seem like a good idea. Using waste to fertilize land and produce better and more abundant crops can't be anything but good. , But Portland's waste is not just the good old degradable organic waste most farmers and ranchers, are familiar with. It contains chemicals from Portland's industries as well. The following is a portion of a news story from the July 30 edition of the Oregonian, detailing problems with chemical wastes in the Portland sewers: "Portland city officials are increasing efforts to reduce the flow of a potentially hazardous metal, cadmium, into the city's wastewater treatment systems, according to Harry Edmonds, the city's senior waste water management engineer. "The amount of cadmium in Portland's sludge has been at the center of controversy over Portland's efforts to barge its sludge up the Columbia River for possible cropland application in Morrow County. "Cadmium can cause kidney problems in humans if it enters the food chain through excessive cropland application. Morrow County residents want assurances that long-term pollution of their land would not occur if they used Portland's sludge as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. "The electroplating industries in Portland have been identified by city engineers as the source of part of the cadmium entering the city's wastewater treatment system, Ed monds said. Other sources are unknown." Morrow County residents do, indeed want assurances there would be no long-term pollution of their land. After all, the land here is the number one asset, and once polluted with hazardous chemicals from Portland, it may mever be usable again. In addition to assurances the people of Morrow County also need reliable, airtight testing and proof that if the dumping does proceed, it will do no harm to the land. The proposed dumping is to last twenty years. As we all know, much can change in twenty years. Rules become lax, people come and go, and changes takeplace. The people of Morrow County, and their children, must be sure waste dumping in the county is permanently safe, healthful and will be good for the county in years to come. Portt Loegview fiber IHOV3 doOGF tO lOQOG The Port of Morrow and Longview Fiber moved closer last Thursday to signing a lease on 40 acres of Port property bordering the Col umbia River near Boardman. The Port and officials from Longview Fiber talked for over two hours, and, although they did not finalize an agreement, did move closer to putting together a package which may see a chipper and a saw mill constructed on the port-owned property. Longview Fiber is looking for a site from which to ship chipped wood for its facilities in Washington. Negotiations last Thursday boiled down to rent money. Longview would pay the port for use of the property. Longview said it planned to put a chipper on about 15 acres of the property, with the rest to be used for log storage. It said it would barge chips down the Columbia to Longview. Company officials offered the Port $1,200 a year for ten years on the property. After the first ten, the rent would be raised by an as yet undeter mined rate over the remain der of the 40-year lease. Port commissioners neither accepted nor rejected the offer, but planned to study the proposal further.

"Solar energy and related renewables have moved to the forefront, along with conser vation, because existing tech nology is enabling us to displace large chunks of the foreign oil we import from Arab countries right now. N o lead time is required." Ullman said tax credits approved by Congress along with incentives provided by the State of Oregon have helped provide the impetus for thousands of Oregonians to use solar energy in their own homes. "Our expansion of the federal credits for conseration and alternate energy earlier this year is providing Amer ican families with additional incentive to take individual action aimed at solving our national energy problems." Ullman, who first proposed credits for solar and other renewables in 1975, and was instrumental in their enact BoardmanPetitiono ready for City elections Nominating petitions for the City of Boardman general election to be held November 4, 1980 are available at the Boardman City Hall.

He said he expects these can be resolved and when they are, new legislation to expand the credit to include passive solar will be introduced. "The hearings we held in Bend earlier this summer clearly demonstrated the en ergy value of passive solar design," he said. . "By using solar, as well as other renewables such as alcohol fuels, we can lick our dependence on foreign oil, and that will be a major victory in terms of both economic stab ility and national security."
