Toxic materials
penalty largest
in ERA history
Associated Press
CHICAGO — The Environmen
tal Protection Agency announced
Thursday it is seeking the largest
toxic waste penalty in its history,
$6.8 million, against Chemical Waste
Management Inc. of suburban Oak
Brook.
The agency filed a civil adminis
trative complaint with the EPA’s re
gional hearing clerk Thursday, al
leging the toxic waste-handler
violated federal regulations govern
ing the “use, record keeping and
marking of PCBs between 1980 and
1983” in storing the material.
Company officials could not be
reached immediately for comment.
The penalty is the largest ever
sought by the federal government
under the Toxic Substances Control
Act, said EPA spokeswoman Vir
ginia Donohua.
The complaint is the culmination
of an 18-month federal investigation
into PCB-handling practices at the
company’s Vickery, Ohio, facility,
she said.
Studies have shown PCBs, or
uolychlorinated biphenyls, cause
iver damage in humans and cancer
in laboratory animals. Used for half
a century as insulators and coolants
in a variety of industrial products,
primarily electric transformers, the
EPA banned their production in
1976.
The EPA contends Chemical
Waste Management employees at
the Vickery site illegally discharged
high levels of PCBs into waste la
goons in an effort to dilute the PCBs
and avoid the federal regulation re
quiring PCB fluids to be destroyed
by incineration, Donohua said.
The agency charges more than six
million gallons of contaminated liq
uid later were sold by the company
as reclaimed oil.
The EPA also charges Chemical
Waste Management — a subsidiary
of Waste Management Inc., the
world’s largest waste handler —
stored PCBs and PCB-contaminated
materials in open lagoons and tanks
that did not meet federal storage re
quirements, Donohua said.
The company also failed to main
tain records or other documents re
quired by the regulations, she said.
“We believe that the collection of a
substantial civil line is justified given
the history of serious violations at
this facility,” said William H. Sand
ers, director of Region 5 Environ
mental Services Division, which in
cludes Ohio.
Discovery begins
mission of secrecy
i
Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL., Fla. — Cra
dling a $300 million superspy satel
lite in its hold, the shuttle Discovery
blasted off Thursday on a mission of
secrecy to confound the Soviets,
opening a new chapter in America's
militarization of space.
The first of the secrets, the exact
time of launch, was revealed dramat
ically. At 2:50 p.m. EST — nine min
utes after NASA turned on the
countdown clock for all to see — Dis
covery, with a spectacle impossible to
hide, rose off its pad into a cleat-blue
sky and headed eastward across the
Atlantic, ils thunderous roar heard
fdr miles.
T he ship, as tall as an 18-story
building, could still be seen with the
naked eye from the space center 4V‘z
minutes after liftoff, 200 miles to the
east and 70 miles high, as a bright
but distant star. It could also be seen
in Miami, 200 miles south of the
Cape.
The voices of the astronauts were
not heard, because of Pentagon-im
posed silence. Launch control at the
Cape, then mission control in Hous
ton, announced the progress of the
flight in its first few minutes.
“Have a super mission; hope the
wait was worth it,” was the word sent
aloft by launch director Bob Sieck.
The satellite originally had been
scheduled for launch in December
aboard shuttle Challenger, but prob
lems with that ship caused postpone
ment. A rescheduled launch
Wednesday was put off for 24 hours
because of Florida’s freezing
weather.
It was the 15th launch of a space
shuttle, but the first devoted solely to
military purposes.
Navy Capt. Thomas K. Mattingly
commanded an all-male, all-military
crew of four whose task in the com
ing days will be to launch the first
spy satellite ever carried aloft on a
manned spaceship.
T he point of the secrecy is to
thwart Soviet efforts to reposition
their own ferret satellites in time to
monitor the U.S. device when it is re
leased from the shuttle and sent
winging toward its duty station
22,300 miles above Earth. Once the
satellite is there, over the equator
south of the Soviet Union, it will be
out of range of Soviet ferrets.
Sources-say the satellite is the first
of a new generation of space-borne
spies capable of tracking Soviet mis
sile tests and intercepting military
and diplomatic communications in
much of Europe, Asia and Africa.
Pentagon officials, who spoke on
condition they not be identified, said
that the Soviet trawlers that sit off
the Florida coast during a normal
shuttle launch were not there for
this one.
NASA, which always has an
nounced the exact time of a manned
launch in advance, would say only
that liftoff would be between 1:15
p.m. and 4:15 p.m. EST.
Under Defense Department
guidelines, the public will be told
only after the fact that the satellite
has been released and is enroute to
its orbit.
The landing time, also a secret,
will be announced 16 hours before
touchdown. Discovery is expected to
stay aloft until at least Tuesday, re
turning to Kennedy Space Center.
Mattingly, who circled the moon
in 1972 and commanded a shuttle
mission in 1982, is accompanied by
Air Force Lt. Col. Loren Shriver,
Marine Lt. Col. James Buchli and
Air Force majors Ellison Onizuka
and Gary Payton.
