FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







_NO.10_
_DANGEROUS WASTE FACILITY_





There is before the State of Washington Department of Ecology an application by the Environmental Security Corporation for a permit to build a waste management facility which would include incineration, landfill, liquid waste treatment and waste solidification less than a mile from the Columbia River in Grant County, Washington.  This proposal is known as the Rabanco proposal.
This proposed facility is ill-advised because of its potential for accidents which could result in contaminating the Columbia River and in ground water pollution in connection with the river as well as in household wells.  Also, the incinerator will cause considerable air pollution which would be dangerous to crops, wildlife, and human health.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs urges Christine O. Gregoire, Director of the Washington State Department of Ecology, to use the influence of her office to deny the permit application of the Environmental Security Corporation to develop the Rabanco waste management facility in the vicinity of the Columbia River.
