BlB—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 17,1981
BUTLER Several speakers at
the 34th Annual Conference of the
Pennsylvania Association of
Conservation District Directors
meeting in Butler recently urged
support of the $3OO million state
water bond issue to be voted on in
the November 3 election.
According to George Wolff,
president, voters will be asked to
approve a loan program to help
finance the revitalization and
rehabilitation of the state’s many
community water systems. Wolff
pointed to the fact that 198 water
supply dams in the state are unsafe
according to the Department of
Environmental Resources and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
inspectors. Wolff said an approval
vote is needed for the public’s
safety and health.
Other speakers at the con
servation meeting who urged
support of the bond issue were
Secretary of Transportation
Thomas Larsen, Representative
Harry Bittle, chairman of the
House Conservation Committee,
and Charles Wismer, master of the
Pennsylvania Grange.
Representative Bittle also urged
support of the Water Resources
Management bill. He stated the bill
is not perfect, but through public
hearings and other inputs, the bill
can meet the water planning,
conservation, and management
needs by the establishment of the
Water Resources Management
Code.
Secretary Larsen stated he is

Conservation conference focuses on water legislation
firmly committed to coa
servation. Larsen discussed the
program for rural transportation
and the overall transportation
funding situation. He thanked
conservation district staffs for
their assistance on erosion and
sediment control on highway
projects.
Striking a balance on energy was
the theme of a panel consisting of
Jack Fraim, Gulf Oil Corporation;
Duane Clarke, Montgomery
County ' Conservation District
chairman and environmental
specialist at Rohm and Haas
Company; and Thomas Mc-
Closkey, Hooks and McCloskey
Environmental Consultants. The
consensus was that economics will
result in the conservation of
energy, that energy can be
developed safely, and that there is
a need to find other sources.
Other major issues centered
around abandoned stripe mine
funding and federal funding cuts.
Concern was expressed over the
fact that the federal government is
not releasing the monies paid by
the coal mining industry. Pres
ident Wolff reported over $6OO mil
lions now in federal coffers from a
per ton fee paid for coal mined.
Twenty percent of this money is
to be released to the Secretary of
Agriculture for restoring aban
doned coal mined land to a useful
purpose, but this has not hap
pened, reports Wolff. The Penn
sylvania Association of Con
servation District Directors voted
