Lavelle, the former administrator of EPA's Superfund toxic waste clean-u- p program, is presently facing five counts of felony perjury. If she is convicted, she faces 25 years in prison. Lavelle was fired from the EPA for obstructing a congressional investigation and lying to Congress. Lavelle said people must consider the administrative side of from page one EPA under the Reagan administration are weakening present environmental laws. He said the president appointed executives of the petroleum and chemical industries to the EPA. "The situation is serious something like putting the fox in charge of the chicken," he said. "In Regenstein's book, America the Poisoned, he details the hazards of waste dumps. He has documented hundred of cases of poisoning caused by the spraying of chemicals, unsafe disposal of , joxic waste, and many other incidents of chemical pollution. He said he relied almost exclusively on government reports and scientific studies for his information. Lavelle said the media has been on the side of the, environmentalist and has blown the subject of chemical waste v: ;VV out of proportion. Environmentalists are political activists dinosaurs they lack knowledge on new technologies, raise fears and give false hopes, she said. She described the environmentalist as one who thinks "organic is better then synthetic; if it's chemical it's bad, if " it's natural it's good for you." The herculean amount of time and money involved with toxic waste management is the side of the EPA the public never sees, ' ' ; . The Department of Family and Community Medicine at the Medical Center is looking for bilingual people to conduct a survey during October and November.

The EPA protects the environment more effectively if it negotiates with business rather than litigates against it. If the EPA brings suit against a company to clean up a toxic waste dump, the time it takes to investigate the site, study the problem and win the case takes at least four to five years. Regenstein said the EPA is giving the benefit of the doubt to industry. While investigations drag on, the public are the ones who pay. ; If America does not protect tbeenvironment today, the cost in human lives, health care thdP lost tax revenue will pall by comparison to clean-u- p costs, he said. He said people have to get involved. Our political system works for those who speak in favor of a policy or against a proposal. Increased involvement in environmental groups spurred by reaction to administration policies has begun to pay off, Regenstein said. "We can turn the situation around and prevent 'America the Beautiful' from becoming 'American the Poisoned,"' he said. 4:10 p.m.-Centr- al American Solidarity Coalition meeting, A Perfect Film Union 312. 9.
