.ENSE
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas should
phase out landfills in hazardous
waste disposal and look for safer and
more efficient alternatives, the
Texas Department of Agriculture
irecommended Thursday.

Agricultural Commissioner Jim
ower spoke at a news confer
ence, addressing the problem of haz-
. . ardous waste disposal.
I “Proven, cost efficient alternatives
SOFT LENSES land disposal exist today,” High
tower said, “and a concerted effort
t>y industry and the state can move
> WEAR S0F T us away from outmoded, dangerous,
expensive land disposal methods.”
Sen. Tati Santiesteban, D-El Paso,
said his Senate Committee on Natu
ral Resources would meet in Lake
Jackson Nov. 19 to begin making
recommendations for the 1987 Leg-
islature.
“Clearly, the state has a duty to
make sure these dangerous materi
als are disposed of in a safe, environ-
mentally-responsible manner,” the
committee chairman told the news
conference.
. Hightower and Santiesteban
PPEL, O.D'llJted ihat Texas has the dubious re-
TAMETDV corc * as t ^ ie ^°' 1 producer of haz-
I UmtTKi ardous wastes in the nation.
VC SUITE! Santiesteban said, “Texas pro-
V caul I ( duces : 38 million tons of hazardous
, TEXAS every year, which is 5,000
1 pounds for every man, woman and
r®ldin the state.”
o n, l A 60-page report prepared by the
& University -Texas Department of Agriculture
said that up to now about 99 percent
of all hazardous waste in Texas has
been disposed of “on-site.”
The term on-site includes waste
materials that are buried in landfills,
placed in surface impoundments or
injected into deep wells.
The report noted that contami
nation from waste disposal had been
found in several locations.
“Groundwater contamination is
now being found at dozens of cur
rently operating, regulated waste
disposal facilities in Texas,” the re
port said.
The TDA report said the alterna
tives include waste volume reduction
measures, recycling and treatment
and destruction measures.
Hightower said the Legislature al
ready has made a move toward im
proved disposal of wastes by the pas
sage in 1985 of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act.
“But while it’s encouraging that
both federal and state policies are to
move away from land disposal to
ward alternatives, in Texas we still
have no program to implement this
urgently needed transition,” High
tower said.
“Our job is to convince those per
sons manufacturing, shipping and
disposing of the hazardous waste
materials (that) it’s in their best inter
ests to work with government in
leading the way to these alterna
tives,” Hightower said.
