tection Agency (EPA) and the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). AMONG OTHER arguments. Wheaton contends that it has the light to conduct a Remedial Investigation-Feasibility Study <RIFS) on how to clean up the Williams' dump because it has been named potentially respon sible The EPA. however, had already named the DEP to conduct the RIFS. Last year, the county Planning Board and Health ^pepartment imposed mon tori urns on construction and well-drilling, respectively, within one mile of the contaminated property ORIGINALLY. A RIFS was tentatively slated for late 1987 but last September, the EPA hand ed the DEP $540,646 to begin the clean-up study It was supposed to start last fall and continue for six to 18 months but Wheaton's Litterbags By Warner AVALON — Free litterbags are being offered citizens here by Warner Amex Cable Communica tions Inc . 2761 Dune Dr The litterbag distribution was announced by Keep America Beautiful.

suit was delayed action and builders want the Swainton montonums lifted County freeholders asked for an update on the RIFS problem last week Reading a Feb 20 memo from Clay C Sutton, county environmental program administrator, on his conversation that day with DEP site coordinator Julien Antebe, Louis J La manna, county health officer. told the freeholders that Wheaton delivered a final RIFS draft to the EPA on Feb 12 but the DEP has asked for revisions "To his knowledge." Sutton wrote to Antebe. "the consent order (to allow Wheaton to do the work ) is to be signed by EPA by April 1." That indicates the EPA has agreed to let Wheaton conduct the Williams site RIFS. but Tasher would not confirm it Monday: "I can't comment on that." he said, "except to say we're still negotiating " "EPA IS STILL the lead agency." wrote Sutton, "but DEP is staying involved to some degree "The "RIFS. as design ed," he added, "will take less than nine months (and possibly as little as six).' "Please note, however, that we can not guarantee that the RIFS data will find the (underwater contamination) plume, nor will we necessarily have good data by which to review the ban." Sutton observed "Nonetheless, in six-nine months, we will have a report on the status of the site "Perhaps our counsel can make a call to EPA

lawyers in order to learn locked in."
