nuclear waste site
United Press International
TULIA — Panhandle residents
got another chance Monday to tell
U.S. Department of Energy officials
their concerns about the possibility
of putting a national high-level nu
clear waste dump in Deaf Smith
County.
DOE officials had a morning me
dia briefing in Amarillo and have
scheduled a 6:30 p.m. public brief
ing session in Tulia. A similar brief
ing is scheduled in Hereford Tues
day night with a Wednesday meeting
planned in Austin.
The briefings are informational
sessions only, say DOE officials who
plan public hearings on the matter
in Texas next month. Similar brief
ing sessions also were conducted last
year when nine sites in six states still
were under consideration.
DOE officials in December nar
rowed the sites to three top candi
dates foi' continued evaluation for
the $25 billion project. The three
sites are in Washington state, Ne
vada and Texas.
The proposed Texas site is a 9-
square-mile plot about 16 miles
north of Hereford and 8 miles
southwest of Vega. Only one site*
be chosen for the undergroundti
pository slated to start operatingil
1998.
If located in Texas, the dunn
would be under the C
Aquifer, the Panhandle’s prime*}]
ter supply.
Farming spokesmen have wamdl
that contamination of the aquiferi|
Texas could harm the water sup
for the seven other states alsousioil
it. Those states are South I
Wyoming, Nebraska, Coloradtl
Kansas, New Mexico, OklahomaaiJ
'Texas.
The Texas attorney general’s t

Texas still recovering from storm

SPREADING
THE NEWS
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio
residents more accustomed to palm
trees swaying in the sun than snow
flying in blizzards stayed away from
work and school Monday, still reel
ing from a deadly “storm of the cen
tury” that dumped a record 13.5
inenes of snow on the Alamo City.
T he snowstorm has caused at least
five deaths throughout South Texas.
City officials said damage from
the storm will total into the millions,
in part because of insurance claims
resulting from damage to houses
and carports.
Mike Sebald, a State Farm Insur
ance claims agent, reported more
than 700 claims by midafternoon
Monday, and Allstate Insurance Co.
representatives said they had re
ceived a similar number of calls.
Each claim averaged about
$1,000, Sebald said.
Police reported about 800 minor
traffic accidents during the weekend
storm. Traffic was Tight because
freeways within the city were closed
and businesses were urged by Mayor
Henry Cisneros to remain closed
Monday.
Cisneros said he was encouraging
a return to normal activities Tuesday
and praised business leaders for co
operating with his request to close
during the storm. Highways were re
opened Monday afternoon as skies
cleared and temperatures rose to 49
degrees.
The snowstorm was the second in
San Antonio in a month, but Cisne
ros said it would not influence the
city to buy snow-removal equipment.
“If experts were to tell us we could
expect changes in basic weather pat
terns, we might have to buy some
snow equipment,” he said. “I don’t
think there’s any way we could jus
tify it on the basis of this.”
In the last 18 months, San Anto
nio has had a record-breaking
freeze, its earliest ever heat wave
with 100-degree temperatures in
April, its driest summer on record
and this week's record snowfall, the
mayor said
National Weather Service special
ist Jim Ellis said the snowstorm was
San Antonio’s worst since the NWS
jan keeping records in 1885.
ri It was the storm of the century,”
he said. “It broke every record.”
The city’s record snowfall for one
day was 4.7 inches on Jan. 30, 1949.
The record for a single winter was
7.4 inches in 1925-26.
“The storm and the snowfall was
