Scrantonian Tribune, Tuesday, January 30, 1990 (Continued from Page One) approved for the project. But the amount of hazardous material there is nearly twice that previously estimated, according to findings early this month, and will cost millions more to remove. The additional funding for the expanded cleanup has not yet been approved. They also said they would seek an explanation for the large discrepancy between original estimates and the actual amount of material. Also hindering the cleanup effort is the apparent inefficiency of a previous contractor, BES Environmental Services Inc.

of Kingston, which has since been disbarred by the EPA. "Apparently, they were doing a bad job," Heinz said. why they were canned." The senators, after slogging through mud and snow at the site, met with area residents to hear their comments and complaints. "It would have been better if they'd found it sooner, said Dr. Pauline Jones, a Scott Road property owner who has been living in the area for five years.

"But what can be done is being done." The contamination is threatening water supplies in the area. An estimated 11.000 people draw their drinking water from wells within a three-mile radius of Aladdin. "We want to proceed here with the most rapid possible cleanup," Heinz said. don't want any contaminants migrating.

Army plant forced (Continued from Page 3) the key to survival between the two ammunition plants lies in the plant which presents to the Army the "most efficient and cost effective proposal." The Scranton plant manufactures the components for the artillery shell while the Louisanna plant produces, packs and loads the projectile, he said. Tobyhanna Army Depot, the area's largest employer, with some 4,200 workers, has been earmarked for $6.8 million in new construction and another $13.2 million for construction is reportedly headed to TAD later this year. However, McDade predicted a long fight between the pro; posed funding and obtaining the funds. He said he was pleased but cautious in announcing that President Bush had agreed to accept Cheney's recommendation to include the consolidation of all the Army's communications work at the depot.

The Army Communications Depot in Sacramento, is the principal competitor for the consolidation site. That facility employs 3,600 Army people. McDade said there would be intense competition between TAD and the Sacramento plant "because one out of every 10 members of the House of Representatives comes from California and will therefore fight to keep the West Coast plant open." Kevin Toolan, TAD's public information officer, said the new facility will enable the depot to consolidate the work in one place. "As a result of the increase in the efficiency of that consolidation, we expect the facility to pay for itself in two-anda-half years," he said. Toolan said the $13.2 million facility results from last year's decision to transfer missions from Lexington-Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky to TAD.

One of those missions is the repair and overhaul of secure communications equipment. Because of the nature of the work, a separate facility is required. The new buildings are expected to be completed in 1992-'93. The federal budget also calls for production cancellation of the U.S. Army's M-1, Abrams tank by 1991 which would result in a cost-savings of $1.1 billion.

The cancellation would not have dramatic impact" on General Dynamics Land Systems Division plant in Eynon, which produces turret rings for the M-1, according to a company spokesman, Donald Gillieland. The budget says the Army has to lay away the Detroit Arsenal Tank plant in Warren, in September 1991, he said. The remaining tank production would be shifted to the Lima Army Tank Plant, Lima, Ohio, where tanks would continue to be built until March 1993. Continuing Ed Says, GET RID OF THE BLAHS!
