Construction effects
on Texas coast studied
Scientists at Texas A&M Univer
sity will conduct 28 biological im
pact studies on the Texas Gulf Coast
under a contract with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
The 13-month, $65,328 contract
calls for the scientists to study pos
sible environmental effects of
project permits submitted to the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Millions of dollars worth of con
struction projects from Port Isabel
to the Sabine Pass could be affected,
according to principal investigator,
Fred Hendricks, Texas A&M
Wildlife and Fisheries assistant pro
fessor.
“We do not make recom
mendations for or against,” said
Hendricks. “Our sole function is to
give the ramificaitons of a project in
a concise, understandable fashion. If
we were to let our emotions into it,
we would immediately lose our cre
dibility,” he said.
The team of professors and stu
dents is in its third year of this type
of biological research. In the past,
Texas A&M has received contracts
from the Fish and Wildlife Service
to do ecological evaluations on ev
erything from proposed marinas in
the Houston and Brownsville areas
to the superport proposal at Corpus
Christi.
Hendricks said most cases the
project the group handles are
biologically interesting. These cases
also have the most sensitive issues
attached, he added.
“We are not talking about long-
range projects in this case,” he
stresses. “We are talking about 21
days to sample, seine, test, research
and write a coherent analysis of
what is, and what will happen to the
biological life there.”
The 21-day limit is included in
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
30-day response time to a permit
application. Anything built or
modified along a Texas waterway
must have Army Corps of Engineers
approval to meet federal water regu
lations.
“The turnaround time puts a
stress on us all,” said Hendricks.
“Sometimes it would be simpler if I
did it all myself, but that’s not why
we are in this study.
“Cases like the ones ahead give a
student a place where he or she can
learn and study with individual pro
fessional direction and see that their
work makes a difference. It is some
thing we can do here, and do a good
job of it,” he said.
“We have several graudate and
undergraduate students that take a
very professional attitude toward
the projects,” he said. “They get in
terested and they get involved.”
Hendricks said Texas A&M was
selected to do the evaluations par
ticularly for its extensive library and
computer facilities, as well as for its
suppply of researchers and technical
research facilities.
The contract “is roughly $2,000 a
case, and that’s a bargain,” Hen
dricks said.

Environmentalists rate senators
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Senators
from New' England had the best
environmental record during the
past congressional session, while
those from the Southwest had the
worst, an environmental group said
recently.
The League of Conservation Vot
ers, releasing its annual rating of the
Senate on environmental issues,
also said President Carter, based on
his announced positions, has a
higher environmental rating than
any senator.
The group said “by far the most
pro-environment region of the
country was New England, whose
six states had an 81 percent average
score. In contrast the Southwest
scored lowest with an 18 percent
average. The other regions, with
their scores, were Mid-Atlantic (66);
Midwest (52); Far West (51); Great
Plains and Mountain states (both 42)
and Southeast (36).”
The ratings for each senator were
based on how he or she voted on 34
issues ranging from amendments to
the Clean Air Act to expansion of
the Redwoods National Park
strip mining legislation.
The average score for all Sei
members was 52 percent,
league said, adding that
Carter, had he been in the Senals
would have scored 92 percent
based on his announced positions)
various issues.
