Page 10/The Battalion/Friday, September 30,1983 Texas officials question possible nuke waste site United Press International LUBBOCK — Federal offi cials have evaded answering questions from the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 1 about proposed nuclear waste disposal sites, district spokes men said. Hereford and Tulia are Texas sites the federal gov ernment is considering as pos sible waste disposal areas. Locations in other states also are being considered, water district officials said. The conservation district sent copies of a letter outlining their complaints with the energy department to Presi dent Reagan, congressional leaders and Texas officials. “I sincerely believe that the DOE is not accurately re sponding to my questions,” Conkwright said. “Our tech nical people were appalled at some of DOE’s responses.” Wayne Wyatt, conservation district manager, said Thurs day district geologists have studied the federal energy officials’ reponses to district questions. “We’re disappointed that they are just not being truth ful,” Wyatt said. Among other issues, the geologists said test hole drill ing around Hereford indi cated moving underground water. They asked about pos sible leakage problems with water moving through salt beds in which the nuclear waste might be stored.
