Bentsen agonizes
over EPA rules
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
Lloyd Bentsen sought assurances
Thursday that the Environmental
Protection Agency would consider
the impact of pending landfill regu
lations in sparsely populated areas of
Texas, where officials claim taxpay
ers may face higher bills to cover
costs of compliance.
EPA is scheduled to publish final
regulations governing municipal
landfills in May or June, and local
officials from rural areas fear their
communities would experience seve
ral financial problems in meeting the
stringent proposed rules.
Bentsen, D-Texas, said more than
100 elected officials from Texas
“I
I f convenient landfill
facilities are not provided, it
is very possible that we will
see a return to the
dumping of solid waste
adjacent to rural roads and
in isolated caliche pits.”
— Bob Deavenport,
judge
have sought his help in ensuring that
they would be able to comply with
the new regulations. A coalition of
48 counties and 35 cities, the
Sparsely Populated Entities Coali
tion, lias also been formed in re
sponse.
“They are concerned that the par
ticular situations in their areas may
make it difficult, if not impossible, to
comply with regulations for garbage
disposal that are being discussed,”
Bentsen told EPA Administrator
William Reilly in a letter Thursday.
While Bentsen agreed garbage
disposal regulations must be “shored
up” to protect the environment, he
warned Reilly that if Texas is denied
a role in establishing regulations that
are effective and less costly for small
communities, “We risk doing more
harm than good.”
According to Martin County
Judge Bob Deavenport, the county
and the city of Stanton could operate
a landfill for an annual cost of
$100,000 if variances are granted
taking into consideration low aver
age rainfall, soil conditions, and the
water table.
“Complying with all proposed
regulations could readily double this
figure,” Deavenport told Bentsen in
a Tetter. “If convenient landfill facili
ties are not provided, it is very possi
ble that we will see a return to the
dumping of solid waste adjacent to
rural roads and in isolated caliche
pits.”
O’Donnell Mayor David M. Smith
told Bentsen his city would never be
able to fund a landfill under the pro
posed requirements.
“I have researched the cost of gar
bage collection by private contrac
tors extensively,” he said. “Our citi
zens, many of whom are elderly,
underpriviiedged and on fixed in
comes, cannot pay residential gar
bage rates which might be in excess
of $100 per month.”
Bruce Weddle, director of the
EPA’s municipal solid waste pro
gram, said the agency is reviewing
the concerns of rural communities
and can allow some flexibility in
areas such as landfill design or loca
tion of groundwater monitoring
wells.
The restaurants listed below
were inspected by the Brazos
County Health Department be
tween Feb. 19 and Feb. 23. Infor
mation is from a food service es

David Jefferson, a registered
sanitarian at (fie department, said
restaurants with scores of 95 or
above generally have excellent
operations and facilities. He said
restaurants with scores in the Ids
or low 80s usually have serious\i
o/ations in the health report.
Scores can he misleading, Jel-
ferson said, because restaurants
can get the same score by having
sever al minor violations or a fn
major violations. He said the mi
nor violations can be corrected
dur ing the inspection. Point de-
ductions or violations in the re
port range from one point fminot
violations) to five points (major
violations).
Jefferson said the departma:
might close a restaurant if tht
score is below 60, the personnel
have infectious diseases, the res-
taut ant lacks adequate refrigera
tion, there is a sewage backup is
the building or the restaurant hs
a complete lack of sanitization tot
the food equipment.
I he department inspects ead
restaurant every six months. Jd-
ferson sail! a follow-up inspection
is sometimes required if a restau
rant has a four- or five- point m
lation that cannot be corrected
during the inspection, or if then
are numerous small violations.
Inspectors at the department
are registered sanitarians.
