(Continued from Page Al)
the state and all are safe
according to DER stan
dards.
Some of the BCAUSE
group take exception to this
claim.
One of the reasons that the
BCAUSE group and others
are so irate is because they
think the choice for the dump
in Ridgebury is a poor one.
The proposed area is a
natural basin filled with
some trees and four or five
springs, making it the
headwaters of the Wolcott
Creek. That stream drains
about 1200 acres of water
shed before eventually
running down 1073 feet into
the Chemung River and
concurrently into the
Susquehanna River.
The site also lies near the
historic Ridgebury Chapel,
one of the oldest Catholic
churches in the area, and an
old cemetery. Not far
downhill is a 50 acre man
made lake named Macam
with at least 10 homesites
around its perimeter.
The immediate goal of the
well-organized BCAUSE
group is to stop DER from
issuing a license for this
particular dump.
They have appealed to
other citizens in the county
to write letters and voice
opposition to it.
Organizations who have
made public resolutions
against the dump are the
Bradford-Sullivan County
farmers’ Association, the
Robert Packer Hospital and
Outline Clinic, Diahoga
Orange, the Valley Jaycees,
the Greater Valley Chamber

The next phase of the
BCAUSE plan is to join with
the industries in the county
and work to find a solution
for the ever increasing
problem of toxic waste
disposal, members said.
The latest meeting to
further the cause of “Dump
the Dump” was held
recently in the Patterson
Building auditorium -ad
jacent to the Robert Packer
Hospital.
The first speaker was
Daniel Ashby, chairman of
the BCAUSE group, who
said that Act 1, Section 27 of
the Pennsylvania Con
stitution promises citizens
clean air and pure water.
Stopping the Ridgebury
dump is a natural nght for
all citizens, he said.
Dr. Ralph Winston, car
diologist at the Robert
Packer Hospital, one of the
many doctors taking op
position to the dump, stated
that no one really knows
what medical problems will
result from chemical
poisoning from toxic wastes.
He also cast doubt on the
safety of the dump, saying
he fears that in time,
leachate would contaminate
not only the Ridgebury area,
but all other areas touched
by the Susquehanna River.
Other speakers were
Michael Russen, assistant to
United States Congressman
McDade who has contacted
the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency which
reported that the OER has
jurisdiction m this case. He
LUNCH
promised any assistance
possible from his office.
Robert Somerville,
assistant to Pennsylvania
Senator Hager, and a
representative of local
Assemblyman Roger
Madigan, also pledged their
support.
Another speaker was Bill
Chandler, president of the
Athens Township Taxpayers
League, a group which has
worked three years to keep
the Northern Tier Solid
Waste Authority from
putting a damp on a site near
Athens. He said he had
travelled in four states
looking at landfills and has
not found one yet that has not
leaked.
“The public is told ‘don’t
worry about it’, but nobody
knows for sure what
Concern written on her face, Cynthia Ashby, wife
of Daniel Ashby, chairman of BCAUSE, a group
fighting a toxic waste dump in their neighborhood,
listens to Michael Russen, assistant to U.S.
Congressman McDade, after a recent public
meeting to organize opposition to the dump.

Following the speakers,
the information meeting,
directed by Chester Harris,
Conservation Officer for the
Pennsylvania Game
Commission, was opened for
comments from the
audience. Many voiced their
opinions against allowing
chemical waste dumps m the
county.
“It is a political problem,”
one man said, “and the
whole world is involved.”
But where to Dump the
Dump is the question.
Nobody seems to want it in
