CAN and EPA Meet
In Washington
A local resident who has been active in community cam­paigns
lor cleanups ol environmental problem sites in the
Bethpage, Hicksville and Farmingdale area took part in an
80-minute meeting with William Ruckclshaus, Administra­tor
of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
in his Washington dITice on July 9,
New York Community Action Network (New York
CAN) member William Steinmetz ol Bethpage, who chairs
the group's Toxics Action Project, was part ola 15-person
national delegation pi citizens living near hazardous waste
sites. The group met with the EPA director in an elTort to
win prompt cleanup ol sites on Long Island and around the
country andip urge the EPA to support the H R-5640 federal
Superlundreauthbrization bill sponsored by Rep. Norman
F. Lent (R-E^.Rpckaway).
"Ourdelegation implored Mr. Ruckelshaus to become
more;aclivcly;i;nvolved in the cleanup of local priority sites,
and i urged him to provide our comnnunity with a cleanUjp
timetable for several local problem areas, including the Old
Bethpage landfill, the Hooker site in Tlicksville and the
Liberty Industrial site in Farmingdale," said Mr. Stcinmctz
upPni his return from Washington.

Wfliich cpllccis |9^^^^ sitV-cleanup a[nd contains a
niahdatory eleahup tinieiablc,'' Mr. Steinmetf stated.
"Delegation members indicated that EPA studies have
shown that betweph eight and sixteen billion dollars will be
requiredto cleanup the natibnVworst sites."
"Mr. Ruckelshaus responded that EPA needs to conduct
more study bcldVc it supports a particular Superlund reau­thorization
bill," the New York CAN leader said, "Mr.
Ruckelshaus said he didn-t want to 'bring a halt to the
momentum' he has established since he's been in
Washington." '
Although the Bethpage resident noted that Mr. Ruckel­shaus
was "very sympathetic" to the delegation's concerns,
Mr. Steinmetz expressed disappointment over the failure of
the EPA administrator to endorse the Lent Superlund bill.
"I can only assume that 'momentum' viewed from Mr.
Ruckelshaus' EPA office overlooking the Potomac River is
dilferenl from momentum viewed from the Old Bethpage
landfill," Mr. Steinmetz said. . "^
The New York CAN representative presented Mr. Ruck-elshaus.
wilh a list of requests to which the EPA official is
expected to respond by mid-August. Among the requests are
cleanup timetables for several local hazard sites and a
request for the administrator to conduct an EPA field hear-

ing on Long Island in October..
New York CAN members report that they are moving
ahead with their campaign to win passage of the Superlund
bill, and invite local citizens who are concerned about com­munity
cleanup to write letters to Senator Daniel P. Moy-nihan,
US Senate, Washington DC 20510 tp urge his leader­ship
in the Senate effort tp pass its version of the Lent
Superlund bill.
The community group has sample letters, petitions and
other educational information about the Superlund cam­paign
