Will uc be dumping
ntre t boo oludrjc?
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.

energy problcmo
Oregon Congressman Al
Ullman said recently develop
ment of renewable energy
resources is a practical,
essentia and immediately
available means of helping to
solve the critical energy
problem facing the United
States.
"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

said he and members of the
House Ways and Means
Committee he chairs are pres

ing technical problems related
to tax credits for passive solar
design for homes. 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
