Lou Etta Barnes GREENWOOD Lou Etta Bell Tentative criteria is adopted for deciding waste dump site The Associated Press RALEIGH Criticism of landfills and incinerators for disposal of low-level nuclear waste was followed Friday by tentative steps toward choosing the Southeast's new site for disposal. After a morning public hearing, the eight-state Southeast Compact Commission on Radioactive Waste adopted tentative criteria for deciding where to put a regional waste facility after narrowly defeating an attempt to let each state choose whether to submit a plan instead of mandating one.

Mississippi Commissioner John I. Paulk moved to make participation voluntary, saying preparing a state plan could be costly and difficult. But Virginia Commissioner Timothy Sullivan argued against the change. "I'm a bit troubled, frankly, by a motion at this point when responsibility comes in view," Sullivan said. "We are getting so near the point where hard decisions will be made." The commission voted 8-7 to require that state plans be Cobb, William H.

The panel adopted for reference a consultant's report on radioactive waste and defeated attempts to reduce the criteria to be used in evaluating proposed waste sites from seven to three.

At an October meeting the commission will finish evaluating criteria before sending them to each member state to be weighed for importance. The criteria are: amount of land suitable for radioactive storage, the volume of waste produced by the state, the type of waste produced, distance waste would have to be transported from the region, systems of transportation available, population density and meteorological conditions. The commission also postponed until October consideration of a regional plan. Once that plan is adopted, states will have 90 days to submit individual proposals for the type and placement of a facility. The commission hopes to devise a regional strategy to deal with low-level radioactive waste after the Barnwell, S.C, landfill stops taking it in 1992.

the ARC represents a victory. The ARC was created by President Johnson in 1965 to improve health, education, economic development and highways in 13 Appalachian region states. Congressional staffers said the $99 million was not a firm figure and the precise level of funding would be determined by a House-Senate appropriations conference committee this fall. For the fifth year in a row, the administration recommended Congress abolish the ARC, contending that the agency has completed its mission to bring living conditions in Appalachia up to national norms.
