EPA revamps plan, safety decision I J URL 04799 Fourteen months after the federal government declared the Love Ca nal area of Niagara Fails, N.Y., hab itable once measures were taken to prevent further leakage of toxic chemicals from the dump and al ready tainted sites were cleaned up, the Environmental Protection Agen cy has pirouetted saying that new evidence of contamination will push back the decision on habitability untiJ 1985 at the earliest. Further, the finding of contamination beyond the area that was to have been surrounded by a containment wall has forced the agency to revamp its remedial cleanup program. EPA's announcement of a revised plan for handling the remaining contamination at Love Canal was prompted by a contractor's finding of "significant migration of chemi cals beyond the proposed wall location," and by a dose review of a recent Office of Technology As sessment study. That study faulted EPA's environmental monitoring data, and the use by the Depart ment of Health & Human Services of that flawed data as a basis for its habitability decision. Rep. John J. LaFalce (D.-N.Y.), whose district includes Love Canal and who, along with New York's two U.S. Senators had requested the OTA study, says that EPA now has "in effect admitted that the $8 mil lion environmental assessment was inadequate for its intended pur poses." And Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan (D.-N.Y.) has suggested that EPA ask the National Academy of Sciences for "recommendations on the scope and design of additional sampling and environmental moni toring at Love Canal." James Marshall, EPA's director of external programs for Region U, says HHS's habitability decision was con tingent "on a series of remedial mea- Moynihtn: seek advice from NAS sures being carried out." In the course of canying out those mea sures--placing a clay cap over the dump site, building a containment wall which was to surround the ca nal and its leachate collection and French tile drainage systems, and designing cleanup procedures for dioxin-contaminated creeks and sewers--a contractor found contami nation at the wall site that had not been detected by EPA's massive monitoring study. Marshall says the contractor's most significant find ing was a "group of phthalates in the high-ppb to low-ppm range." though lindane, benzene, chloro form, and several other organic chemicals were also detected in the soil in the low parts-per-billion range. Marshall says that the con tractor found no dioxin, and that this information was "all disclosed in Niagara Falls this July." Joel S. Hirschhom, OTA senior associate and an author of the OTA report, says the discovery that chemicals had migrated beyond the site of the proposed wall would "suggest the wisdom of doing more environmental monitoring studies." Yet, as LaFalce points out. EPA's "pronouncements do not include a firm commitment to additional monitoring for the express purpose of making a habitability decision ." What EPA is committed to is a thorough review of existing data, perhaps more studies to fill in the gaps, and cleanup on a timetable that begins running this month and continues through February 1988. And according to Marshall, EPA, which three months ago had decid ed not to build the containment wall, now will be reviewing op tions for containing the migrating chemicals. A decision on an alterna tive to the wall will be made in six to eight months, he says. In the meantime, "remedial work is going on," Marshall says. The clay cap will be completed before this winter, and the creeks and sewers will be cleaned up by the end of next year. In the revised plan, EPA and New York state have divided the Love Canal area into three zones. Clean up will proceed from the most con taminated zone outward, and "incre mental" decisions on livability will be made in the reverse order. Habit ability decisions will be made by the Centers for Disease Control and by the N.Y. Department of Health beginning as early as March 1985 and proceeding through 1988. The finding of additional con tamination, EPA's decision todo new studies, and the extension of the decision-making timetable, "make everything at Love Canal more un certain and more loaded with ambi guity," Hirschhom says. oeietir i, isssoet SODIUM OClflH't U jM >r. to Oxy may settle over Love Canal SULPHATE*1 of T- National awareness of the dilemma If so, the move is a major precedent (Anhydrous) iy posed by toxic-waste dumps sprang in the field of victims' compensation a largely from the experiences of the resi suits.

On that note, we think we see an en couraging trend in the relationship be tween the major environmental organi sations and the chemical industry {cover ttory, p. i$). As we have noted previously, indus try and environmentalists are beginning to Bit down together and negotiate on issues. Both want to avoid the paper work, delays and uncertainties of the prolonged regulatory process. And tooth want to avoid costly litigation. It's hard to tell how far this trend will go. Some of the gaps that separate the positions of the two parties are pret ty wide, as in the current right-toknow struggle. But over the long haul, there is much reason for hope that such gaps can be bridged by healthy compromise. That's because between the two sides there's a growing, though stall wary, respect. Many environmentalists now seem more willing to acknowledge that there will always be degrees of risk in our interaction with our environment, since we have neither the know-how nor the resources to eliminate all such risk. As a corollary, they recognize that human beings may be more willing to accept a certain level of risk than to depress their material standard of living or to force an employer to become uncompeti tive. They are beginning to understand that industry executives, despite the pressure to maximize profits, do care about the environment, too. And they have learned that industry people some times can offer good solutions to envi ronmental problems. On the other side, many industry ex ecutives now concede that some of their environmentalist adversaries know what they're talking about. They can deal with economic tradeoffs, and they have access to sound science. Despite all this, the relationship be tween industry and environmentalists is bound to remain adversarial for the foreseeable future. Laws, cops and gad flies are still needed to help change the sloppy industrial habits of a century. But we hope that negotiation will con tinue to displace litigation. And we be lieve that the dialogue will now be less shrill and more constructive. Ask. to Edkornn-Chiet............ ..........Shake R Bekai McGraw-Hill Econonca......... .......

And it is a landmark case in the con frontation between industry and envi ronmentalists. Now, five yean after that chemicalwaste dump in Niagara Falls, N. Y , sprang upon our consciousness, it ap pears that Love Canal may also set an important precedent in the law. Occiden tal Petroleum says it has offered . pay $5-6 million as part of a aettleme: with 1,300 parties to a class-action sun. who claim to have been injured by leakage from the dump (p. 17). Ttat payment would surely be just the tip of the iceberg, with insurers stuck for tbe rest The suit was for $16 billion, and no one will speculate on what the total payment might be. And. assuming tbe offer is accepted, it will be a while before the parties work out the details of how the payment is to be allocated among the claimants. A settlement would be significant for a number of reasons. Foremost is the fact that, so far as we can tell, there was no substantial negligence on the part of Hooker Chemical, now Occiden tal Chemical, in its disposal of toxic wastes at Love Canal. Tbe company fol lowed approved procedures for toxic- waste landfills. The leakage occurred after the cap was disturbed, which hap pened after Hooker had sold the land and despite the company's warnings. And there are questions as to the ex tent of any long-range health damage. Occidental's willingness to settle in light of those facts shows how all-en compassing the courts' view of liability has become. It is a dear signal that chemical companies must exercise not just normal care but extraordinary care to ensure safe disposal of toxics. Just as important, there is much in terest across the nation in developing equitable means of compensating the victims of exposure to toxic chemicals. If and when the details of the Love Canal settlement are worked out, they will almost certainly serve as a power ful precedent for future cases. October 19.
