TRYING TO SELL a housewife a
home freezer, a salesman pointed out.
“You can save enough on your food
bills to pay for the freezer."
"Yes. I know." the woman agreed,
"but you see we’re paying for our car
on the carfare we save. Then, we’re
paving for our washing machine on the
laundry bills we save, and we’re
paving for the house on the rent we’re
saving. We just can't afford to save
any more right now."

THURSDAY, MAY 10. 1984
Landowners within the Swisher
County site being looked at as a
possible nuclear waste repository were
conspicuously absent from the "infor-
mation exchange" meeting held here
last Thursday night.
A boycott of the Department of
Energy meeting had been called by
STAND (Serious Texans Against Nuc-
lear Dumping), according to President
Delbert Devin. About 10 local resi-
dents were among the 30 people in
attendance.
Two officials from DOE. as well as
representatives from Battelle. present-
ed slides on the background of the site
selection and Fielded questions from
the sparse crowd.
In response to questions about the
Ogallala Aquifer. John Peck, a consul-
tant geologist for Stone and Webster
Engineering Corp.. said that while the
vast underground water supply is vital
to agriculture in eight states, a leak
from a waste well would not imperil
the entire system. Flow of the aquifer
in Texas is cut off from the north by
the Canadian River, he said.
Several residents voiced concerns
about marketing grain and beef raised
near a nuclear waste dump.
Linda McClain. DOE Texas Pan-
handle project manager, said a study
is being done on the effects a dump

would have on property values and
crop salability. She said researchers
are looking at areas in Idaho and other
states where agricultural operations
are located near low-level nuclear
waste and chemical waste repositories.
When Devin asked why areas in
Michigan and Ohio had been ruled out
of the site screening process, Ms.
McClain admitted politics has probably
played a part.
"Those studies were discontinued
before I came in." she said. The sites
to the north had been abandoned due
to "a combination of political and
geological reasons. We all know that
and we're all paying for it right now.”
she said.
The next step in the site selection
process will be Environmental As-
sessment Reports on each of the nine
sites being considered nationwide.
Draft reports should be completed and
available to the public for comment
this summer. Three sites will be
chosen for detailed study early in
1985. according to Ms. McClain.
OIIESTONS ON DOE
How long do the canisters last?
300-1000 years.
Do you have a nuclear scientist? No
How do you guarantee that the
earth will not shift and break the
canisters? From the different sciences,
we feel content that we can predict
what's going to happen. We can tell
by the rock formations if the earth will
tend to shift.
Would you live within a two mile
area of a repository? All four DOE
people replied that they definitely
would. ,
Why is our llnited States Govern-
ment and DOE going to put so many
people in so much stress when they
could drop it in the ocean and save a
lot more money? This program is
solving a national environmental prob-
lem and its impossible to do this
without affecting peoples lives. This is
the best and safest operation and the
method of dropping it in the ocean is
still being researched.
Why arc you not storing it in the
Saline Basin? The department backed
away from the Saline Basin. We must
stay aw av front population areas.
Arc there any sites in the United
States where nuclear waste has al-
ready been dumped? No
Will there be salt lying on the
surface of the land so that the winds
and water can blow it around and ruin
the farm land? There is a layer of salt,
but it is so hard that you would have
to break it with a shovel, etc. to get it
loose.

Hightower Renews Opposition To Panhandle Nuclear Dump
"I don’t care the U.S.
Department ol Energy has
narrowed its sites tor the
proposed high-level nuclear
dump to nine square miles
or nine square inches. Wc
don’t want it anywhere in
Texas." State Agriculture
Commissioner Jim High-
tow cr said todav
Ihe DOE. which earlier
designated a 300-square-
mile area in Deal Smith
C on lit v and a 190-squarc-
mile area in Swisher County
as potential storage sites,
has uncxpcetedlv narrowed
the possible locations to
nine square miles in both
counties, without advising
affected landowners.
"DOE can play by the
rules, or they can break the
rules." Hightower said ol
the federal agency’s con-
tinued push to select a site
before the site-selection pro-
cess is finalized. "We at the
Texas Department ot Agri-
culture remain committed to
keeping the nastiest stuff
known to mankind out from
underneath some of the
most valuable agricultural
land, and one of the most
precious underground water
reservoirs, in our state.
"It’s our soil, our water,
our farms and our people
thev are risking. The people
of the Panhandle have
spoken loudly and clearly:
They don’t want a nuclear
dump in their backyard.
We ll fight this crazy idea in
the Panhandle, in Austin
and in Washington — and
we'll win."
Reportedly, the other
sites were still under consi-
deration are in Washington.
Nevada. Louisiana, two in
Utah and two in Mississi-
ppi
A member of TDA’s Nat-
ural Resources Division was
in the Panhandle on Wed-
nesday. gathering more in-
formation on DOE’s two
proposed Texas sites and
meeting with groups who
are opposed to the nuclear
dump.

rehabilitation and mainten-
ance are the keys to pre-
serving historic buildings.
Here in Tulia. Preserva-
tion Week 1984 will be

and restoration, as well as

and state government offi-
cials and owners of com-
mercial buildings.

’83 TKXAS FARM SALKS
DOWN SOME - Texas far-
mers and ranchers, battling
adverse weather and weak
market prices, sold about
$10.2 billion worth of goods
during 1983. down about
SltiO million from the pre-
vious year. However, this
volume of farm receipts en-
abled Texas to maintain its
third place ranking behind
California and Iowa. Live-
stock receipts totaled about
$5.7 billion last year while
crop receipts reached almost
$3.9 billion. Another Sb90
million came from related
areas such as farm-hased
timber, horses, fish farm-
ing. hunting and fishing
leases, and outdoor recrea-
tion. Overall, these agricul
tural receipts will have
about a $33 billion impact
on the Texas economy, says
an economist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice. Texas AA M University
