CHICKASAW, Ala. — Public
hearings are tentatively set for
next month on a Chemical
Waste Management Inc., re
quest to pick up a third load of
hazardous waste at the Port of
Chickasaw and burn it in the
Gulf of Mexico.
Chem-Waste has made three
oermit applications currently
jeing reviewed by EPA manage
ment, an agency official said
Wednesday.
Alan Rubin, chief of the
criteria section of the agency’s
water office in Washington, said
if the requests are granted,
Chem-Waste will load the hazar
dous waste from the privately-
owned Port of Chickasaw onto
two incinerator ships — the Vol
canos I and Volcanus II.
The waste would be burned
in the Gulf about 200 miles off
the coast of Brownsville, Texas
and about 250 south of Mobile.
Last month the international
environmental group Green
peace said it would oppose an
effort to route a third load of
toxic waste through the south
Alabama port. Rubin said public
hearings in Mobile were tenta
tively set for around Oct. 17. A
hearing in Brownsville is sche
duled For Oct. 15.
“We would expect that the re
view of the permit package
would be finished by mid Octo
ber and signed,” he said.
At that time a notice of “tenta
tive determination” would be
published in Gulf Coast news
papers and the Federal Register,
Rubin said.
Chem-Waste has asked for
three permits — one special per
mit for each ship and one “re
search permit” for Volcanus II.
A special permit “is an operat
ing permit for a much larger
volume of waste over a longer
period of time than a research
permit and certain levels of
monitoring are required,”
Rubin said.
He said a research permit is
issued for a study over a much
shorter period of time — about
six months.
Oklahoma prisons
creating pressures
United Press International
OKLAHOMA CITY —
Rioting inmates at the Conner
Correctional Center were
under extreme psychological
pressure because of over
crowding and rioted against
the system, not the prison
staff, a Texas penal expert tes
tified Wednesday.
“They were striking out at
a system that was failing them
miserably,” said Henry John
Albach, a court-appointed
fact-finder from Dallas. “It
was so overcrowded, every
thing was breaking down.
They were not striking out at a
bad staff.”
Albrach’s testimony came
in the third day of a hearing
ordered by U.S. District Judge
Luther Bohanon on the status
of Oklahoma prisons. Boha
non called the hearing after
an Aug. 29 riot at Conner left
one inmate dead and 34 peo
ple injured.
American Civil Liberties
Union attorneys say condi
tions in Oklahoma prisons are
unconstitutional, but mem
bers of the state Attorney
General’s staff are disputing
that claim. Bohanon has over
seen state prison operations
since ruling 11 years ago that
conditions in state prisons
violated inmates’ constitution
al rights.
Distribution of beer
investigated by SMU
United Press International
DALLAS — In a crackdown
aimed at slowing campus drink
ing, officials of Southern
Methodist University said they
'were investigating the legal im
plications of beer distributors
who give away beer on campus.
“The Texas Alcoholic Bever
age Code says no person may
licit beer in a dry area,” said
George Lewis, alcohol education
idviser at SMU, which is in the
Dallas suburb of University
Park, a dry community.
“We want to determine
whether beer distributors are
breaking the law by sending reps
to campus who encourage orga
nizations to use their beer,” ne
said.
"We want the beer distribu
tors to know that we are vehe
mently opposed to any activity
that promotes extensive con
sumption of alcohol among our
students,” Lewis said Tuesday.-
He called for a meeting of Bud-
weiser, Miller, Coors and Stroh’s
beer distributors to discuss the
situation.
Beer distributors host several
campus events each year, and
proceeds are donated to local
charities. They also give away
beer to non-charity fraternity
and sorority parties, the Dallas
Morning News reported
Wednesday.
“The campus reps are not
there to encourage drinking but
instead to make our brand
known by handing out posters
and such,” said Budweiser rep
resentative Holly Mender.
