DALLAS (AP) — An Environ-
nental Protection Agency official
ays he has no reason to doubt the
|uality of a contractor’s or the agen-
y’s work regarciing a cleanup plan
or a Texarkana toxic waste site on
hich 78 homes are located.
“We believe the . . . decision we
cached is appropriate,” said Larry
Wright, acting chief of the Super-
;und Enforcement Branch of the
EPA’s Dallas regional office.
Wright reacted to a U.S. Fish and
Wildife Service concern that numer
ous flaws exist in a contractor’s in-
estigation of the site, which had a
bearing on the EPA’s selection of a
deanup method.
Roy Irwin, an environmental con
taminants specialist with the wildlife
service’s Fort Worth office, visited
the site and reviewed EPA docu-
nents. In a 19-page letter to the

At
’ad-
agency dated Nov. 3, Irvin said such
flaws could have resulted in an un
derestimation of the long-term haz
ards posed by contaminants.
The 62-acre site is scheduled for
cleanup under the EPA’s Superfund
program within the next few years.
Its soil is tainted with creosote, a
wood preservative linked to cancer.
The Carver Terrace subdivision
occupies the northern half of the
tract, where a wood-preserving plant
operated for half a century before
closing in 1961. The fenced south
ern half is owned by a sand and
gravel company that was ordered to
stop digging in 1984.
I he EPA’s proposal to excavate
only the most contaminated parts of
some yards in Carver Terrace does
not provide residents with sufficient
protection against cancer and other
diseases, critics charged.
The EPA, asked by some residents
to buy their homes, has decided in
stead to proceed with a cleanup that
may cost $8 million.
Irwin’s task was to assess possible
effects of the toxins on fish and wild
life.
“One of our primary concerns is
that many of the chemicals in cre
osote are hazardous to fish and wild
life at low levels,” Irwin told the Dal
las Times Herald. “The location and
concentrations of many of the chem
icals of most concern have not been
fully identified or quantified.”
Of greatest concern are polyaro
matic hydrocarbons, dioxins and di-
benzofurans. Varieties of all three
have been linked to cancer. Types of
dioxins and dibenzofurans also have
been linked to birth defects.
