OSWEGO - The hopes that had been raised with the introduction of a toxic waste cleanup bill for Oswego County's Pollution Abatement Services and other dumps were dimmed ~'riday with an an- nouncement from the state commissioner of en- vironmental conservation. Robert Flacke, DEC commissioner, said that Oswego County's toxic waste dumps are Just several of 680 idenhfied lhnmghout the state, Flacke saying he would not give any preferential treatment to Oswego County problems. Recently, State Sen. sites in the county, with the emphasis on PAS. The PAS site, considered the worst of the sites in the county in need of cleanup work, had been thought to be one of the priorities within the state as, the federal government looked to allocate its first round of \Superfund\ money. That situation has changed with an Environ- mental Protection Agency announcement that the study of the site will be delayed for some months. It is the latest in a con- tinuing struggle for cleanup, after a $1.5 million bill was approved last dear as a budget item, an then lined out of the bud~et by Gov. Hugh Carey, fading to gain support for approval in the governor's office even after Legislature approval. The apartments provided' as housing for the mentally- retarded and mentally- deficient in the Oswego County area also meets tfte basic needs of the residents. According to Hubbard, the apartments are centrally- located so the residents are within easy walking distance from town.
