United Press International CLEVELAND — The Diamond Shamrock Corp. closed its suburban Cleveland chemical plant three years ago, but its abandoned waste basins continue to pour chemicals into the Grand River, the Cleveland Press has reported. Recent results from routine state Environmental Protection Agency river samplings have shown that large amounts of chemicals are still filtering through from the com pany’s waste basins. State EPA pollution engineer Bob iVVysensky said although the chemi cals were present in large amounts, the concentration was greatly re duced from previous samples. However, the paper reported that EPA figures for 1979 indicate there have been days when vast amounts of dissolved chemical solids came down the river and equaled some of the worst days when Diamond op erated its plant in Painesville Town ship. The chemicals, mostly nontoxic chlorides, are filtering down into the river by rainfall washing them through the soil. But one chemical. deadly chromate, has increased its presence in the river, so much so that state EPA officials are consider ing further investigation, according to the Press. Wysensky said chlorides by themselves are not harmful to hu mans but they can and once did turn parts of the Grand River into a salt water environment, which could not be endured by freshwater fish and wildlife. However, a John Carroll Univer sity biology professor, who exam ined the river at the request of Diamond Shamrock in 1977, said a great diversity of fish has returned to the river, and there is little evi dence they are chemically contami nated. A federal study of pollution in Lake Erie in 1968 listed Diamond Shamrock as one of the 20 largest producers of industrial waste water in an area ranging from Detroit to Buffalo. The federal report showed that 3,000 tons of dissolved solids a day went into the Grand River. Another 37,000 pounds went directly into Lake Erie. 50 seniors named to honors program ALTERATIONS Fifty of Texas A&M University’s lop seniors have been named to the 1979-80 University Undergraduate Fellows Program which allows qual ified students to conduct research Dr. Mel Ives 1 1 for classroom credit, said 'it 01 Friedman, coordinator.
