'WH0: Advisory Task' Force to The Governor of Kentucky !
l WHERE:' Capitol. Annex Building, Frankfort, Kentucky I WHEN: Meeting of March 3, 1987' ;
State. Representative Pete Worthington addressed the Advisory Task Force on i the.. issue of continuing State funding for the pumping and evaporation operations !
at 'Maxey Fl ats'. He stated his concern that management of. Maxey Flats by the Natural. Resources and Environmental Protection (NREP) Cabinet is less than ,
satisfactory - citing "seven years of poor project management, almost $10 million expenditures, and the ongoing, potentially serious problem." In October of 1986, Representative Worthington had urged Governor Martha Layne Collins to appoint an Advisory Task Force to " audit the past actions at the site and to make recommendations for the future." He reviewed the histtry of the site and mentioned the dissension between his office and the NREP with '
regard to stabilization' activities over the past few years.
Representative Worthington urged'that pumping and evaporation activities not be continued'at this time.on the basis that "there.is no convincing data.today which proves that pumping reduces water levels in the trenches." He suggested that sump water levels be carefully monitored for several months while the pumping is'not operative. Pumping and evaporating would cost the State 3 5610,000 in 1987. )
The Advisory Task Force did not find the water level data (distributed by )
Representative Worthington) to be adequate to substantiate his contention j that' levels are not affected by pumping. The Task Force will hear technical i evidence from the NREP Cabinet and from the Human Resources Cabinet on this issue.
