From staff reports Action is sought on low level waste By Susan Allen The Associated Press MONTPELIER Vermont Attorney General Jeffrey Amestoy is scheduled to warn a U.S. House panel today that congressional action is needed to prevent low-level radioactive waste from ending up in landfills. Amestoy is scheduled to testify before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment.

He will ask the committee to block a federal policy that would deregulate some nuclear waste that is considered low-level and therefore hazardous. "It is a crazy policy," Amestoy said Wednesday. "You have the federal government saying that material traditionally been regulated as hazardous is essentially going to be deregulated and you (the states) don't have anything to say about Death Notices and Funerals Held Paid notices ROSE ALMA BENNETT Rose Alma Bennett, 86, of 22 Peru St. died Tuesday, Sept. 10, 1991, in Fanny Allen Hospital in Colchester.

Amestoy was referring to a 1990 decision by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission removing regulations on the disposal of radioactive materials. The policy would block states from taking separate, more stringent action to regulate the materials. The U.S.

House is considering legislation to preserve independent state authority over lowlevel waste. The National Association of Attorneys General approved a resolution last year urging Congress to preserve states' rights on the issue. John Gilroy, director of Vermont Public Interest Research Group, who supports Amestoy's efforts, said the waste includes soil, filters, sewage sludge, tank sludge, and waste oil from nuclear power plants such as Vermont Yankee in Vernon. Vermont lawmakers along with those in 10 other states took action to prevent the federal government from allowing such material to end up in landfills.

OFF Selected I FALL-WINTER Merchandise 3 Days Only Thurs. Fri. Sat. Viki-Lin's Shopping Center Essex Jct. 879-7248 Vermont passed a law keeping the regulations in place on all waste considered low-level by the NRC as of Jan.

1, 1989. That would require all lowlevel waste, despite a designation change by the NRC, to be disposed of in specially licensed facilities, not in landfills. But Amestoy said if the NRC policy is enacted, it would override any state's efforts to maintain control over its nuclear waste. That policy was approved in 1990, but the NRC has delayed implementing the change to allow for review. Noting the public concern that surrounds the siting of a landfill, Amestoy added, "The concern would be raised exponentially by the thought the solid waste facility will be a receptacle for waste previously considered low -level nuclear waste." Gilroy agreed.

"Right now we know where all the radioactive waste is," he said. "If you don't know how much is going into a local landfill, you never have an ability to know what the local hazard is, to alert people that go there and work there, or to track how much is accumulating there." will follow in the family lot in West Bolton Cemetery.

MIGRATORY WATERFOWL UPLAND SHOREBIRD SEASONS 1991 Vermont Proposed Rule: 91-E7 AGENCY: Natural Resources, Fish Wildlife Department CONCISE SUMMARY: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to determine, after due study when, how, and to what extent migratory game birds may be taken, hunted and possessed. Annually, after appropriate study of summer nesting conditions and waterfowl abundance, the Department of the Interior establishes general framework within their respective states. For the 1991 season Vermont selected and recommended the seasons which were promulgated in the Federal Register dated August 1991 and selected at the Waterfowl Meeting in July held in Vermont. This year the Federal Government approved the establishment of two waterfowl zones within the state: 1) The Lake Champlain zone: 2) The Interior or remainder of the state.

The basic season for waterfowl (ducks) in the Lake Champlain Zone will be a split season from October 12 through October 27 and November 23 through December 6. The season for the Interior Zone is a split season from October 12 through November 3, and November 25 through December 1st. The basic statewide season migratory upland and shore birds opens September 28, 1991 and runs December 6, 1991. Consistent with rules promulgated by the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service, Vermont is established a non-toxic shot zone, and includes the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge.

Use of lead shot, and the possession of same in any form within state, is prohibited for taking waterfowl and coots. Steel shot usage within this zone is restricted to a shot size no larger than size T. The season for Woodcock opens October 1, 1991 and runs through November 14, 1991. Shooting hours for Upland Shore birds is one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. The goose season opens at 7:00 a.m.

October 12, 1991, and runs through sunset December 20, 1991. Shooting hours for all waterfowl species: one-half hour before Sunrise to sunset, each day; except for October 12, which is 7:00 a.m. to sunset. TYPES OF PERSONS AFFECTED: Hunters. COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: Income from license sales approximately $84,000 based on an estimated 6,000 hunters.
