involve people across the country
with the problems they face in their
communities.
Beginning in June of 1990, about
125 cyclists will embark on a cross
country bicycle tour in an effort to
combat world hunger and poverty.
Bike-Aid ’90 is sponsored by the
Overseas Development Network, a
nationwide coalition of student orga
nizations formed to seek solutions to
world poverty and educate Ameri
cans by raising social consciousness.
According to ODN, the project’s
purpose is three-fold: to increase
public awareness of problems both
in developing nations and the
United States, to raise funds for self-
help projects in this country and
The ride will begin in June with
f groups leaving from Seattle, Port-
and, San Francisco and Los An
geles. In July, other groups will em
bark from Austin and Maine and all
six groups will converge in Washing
ton, D.C. to share their experiences.
Participants will meet with local
communities to share ideas about
development in world poverty and
community programs and learn the
histories and lifestyles connected
with each area.
Those interested will be free to

Report: Additional funds
needed to protect coastline
AUSTIN (AP) — More money,
equipment and emergency training
drills are needed to make sure Texas
can combat an offshore oil spill and
prevent an Exxon Valdez-style envi
ronmental disaster, a special task
force reported Thursday.
“Texas must be fully prepared to
respond to oil or chemical spills,”
Gov. Bill Clements said. “The beauty
and vitality of our land and seas
capes and our natural resources de
mand our vigilance.”
fit
Responding quickly,
aggressively and
effectively to an oil spill
requires that our plans look
more than just good on
paper.”
— Kent Hance,
Railroad commissioner
said.
Hance noted that vessels similar in
size to the Exxon Valdez routinely
sail the Texas Gulf Coast.
Heading the committee’s list of
recommendations are:
• Requiring annual spill response
training drills coordinating local,
state and federal agencies, schools
and private industry.
• Having the oil industry and
Coast Guard locate additional spill
fighting equipment in Corpus
Christi and Beaumont to guarantee
a quick response on the Texas coast.
• Urging the Legislature to beef
up the Texas Spill Response Fund to
its $5 million limit. The fund cur
rently contains only about $700,000.
• Imposing educational require
ments and testing of operators of oil
tankers and oil storage facilities.
• Increasing state funding for
academic and non-profit research in

The Governor’s Oil Spill Advisory
Committee issued recommendations
after a five-month study ordered by
Clements after the tanker Exxon
Valdez ran aground, dumping more
than 240,000 barrels of oil into Alas
ka’s environmentally sensitive Prince
William Sound.
“Texas must learn from the mis
takes made in Alaska. Responding
quickly, aggressively and effectively
to an oil spill requires that our plans
look more than just good on paper,”
Railroad Commission Chairman

• Continuing aggressive lobbying
by state officials and Texas congress
men to defeat federal legislation that
would slap oil spill liability ceilings
on states. Texas, as do most states,
currently has no cap on liability for
spills.
Calling the recommendations “re
sourceful and insightful,” Clements
said he wants the committee to con
tinue working until all im
provements are made.
The report criticizes the federal
government’s proposals for locating
national oil spill response strike

Board approves West Texas dump site fc
AUSTIN r AP1 The I ow-T evel Rarlioartive nr»en as snnn tie 111 ne 1 QQS
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Disposal Authority board voted unanimously
Thursday to narrow its search for a radioactive waste
dump site to 3,000 acres in far West Texas.
The area is near Fort Hancock, in southwestern
Hudspeth County, about 40 miles east of El Paso.
After a hearing in Hudspeth County, the board will
select an area within the 3,000 acres, said board Chair
man Elbert Whorton.
“The area that we have designated, in our opinion, is
a very, very credible site,” Whorton said.
Wnorton said he is confident a license for the low-
level radioactive waste dump — the state’s first — will
be granted by the Department of Health’s Bureau of
Radiation Control after an application is submitted next
year.
El Paso County Judge Luther Jones, a leader of
dump opponents, said legal remedies would be pur
sued but declined to specify. Congressional help also
has been sought to obtain a review of the site selection
process by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
he said.
“We’re confident when they review it, they will be as
horror-struck as we have been,” he said.
Jones said the site is unsafe because it is susceptible to
earthquakes “far in excess of the severity of the San
Francisco quake;” is in a flood plan; and poses damage
to ground water.
The authority’s staff said the mesquite- and creosote-
covered area is well-suited for the dump, which could
open as soon asjune 1993.
The staff had proposed the same site in FebruT
1987, but El Paso County obtained an injunctionfrof
state district judge to stop the designation process,!
injunction later was overturned by an appeals court
Ruben Alvarado, chief engineer for the authority,•
knowledged the potential exists for earthquakes. But
said quakes do not happen often, and that they rvo«l
not affect operations at the site.
The waste will be encapsulated in massive concft
canisters and will be stable for 'centuries, the aget
said. Studies show the depth to water at the skeisitf
than 500 feet and rainfall is less than 10 inches perytt
according to the staff.
“We don’t foresee anything that would jeo
the site as far as our designation at this time,”'
said.
State Sen. Tati Santiesteban, D-El Paso, objected
the recommendation, saying the waste material con 1

After an application to license the site is submitted 1

ager of the authority.
The dump would store tons of gloves, tools andotl»
waste from Texas nuclear plants, hospitals and latt
ratories.
