SCA Says Partial Shutdown Possible Courier Hiogare Pails Bureav YOUNGSTOWN -- SCA Chemical Waste Services Inc. could face a complete temporary shutdown this fall if its legal problems con- tinue much longer, a top dcgmpany official said Satur- y. Fred M. Wynn, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Balmer Road facility, told The Courier-Express such a prospect is now \'a remote possibility,\ but that there is a \real danger\ it would occur if the legal problems are not resolved. ''The whole plant could be essentially forced to shut down for several months,\ be said. Wynn, whose embattled firm is facing legal and poli- tical challenges over the waste pipeline it is building to the Niagara River and its entire operation, said stor- age space on the site is sim- ply running out. Seven Landfemical waste disposal. Wynn said be ex- pects the last landfill to be full within the month and that once that happens, some hard decisions will have to be made. , The firm has applied for an additional landfill and for modification of Its sev- enth unit to Increase its storage capacity. Those per- mit applications, along with two others, have been the subject of marathon public bearings this summerear- ings began in April and have dragged on for 19 weeks.

Wyun said the length of the hearings has strained the firm's resources, both in legal expenditures and its ~~ capacity to provide enough space to store the toxins which it accepts. ''The length of these pro- ceedings has gone beyond anyone's imagination,\ he said. Also Liquid Waste The company also accepts liquid chemical wste for treatment and has found that operation substantially curtailed by the delays en- countered in building its controversial pipeline to the Niagara River. The five-mile line would treatment process which pu- rifies paints and other sol- vent materials so they can be reused. Wyun said that process was proceeding very well but added it would probably not be worth cumming it the other two operations were forced to shut down. The compny employs ap- proximately 90 persons; Wynn said none have had to be let go as yet. ?-Edged Sword \It remains to be seen R whether we can continue like that,\ he said. Alison Livingston, trea- surer of Citizens Against Pollution (CAP), said the prospect of a shutdown could be both \a blessing and a cruse,\ Mrs. Livingston said such a shutdown could force the company to quickly adopt new, less-polluting technolo- gles such as incineration to deal with its waste. On the other hand, she noted, it could mean the firm plans to eventually walk away from its site bere and leave its tons of waste unmont tored and unprotected. Masiello Would Clip PSC Power Buffalo City Councilman Anthony M. Masiello, state senatorial candidate in the 55th District, has proposed that final control over utili- ty rate requests be moved to the State Legislature. Masiello, in what he called a three-point \agen- da to address the problems of utility costs,\ said the State Public Service Com- mission's (PSC) members \have no accountability to anyone except the gover- nor,\ who appointed them. Under Mastello's proposal, the PSC would no longer make final decisions on rate requests, but would only make recommetdations for final action by the State Le- gislature The councilman also pro- pased a system of cash re- bates to families who invest in home improvements to improve energy efficiency. Such a system would re- place the current system of tax credits which, Masiello said, ''affects ouly th homeowners wealthy enough to undertake exten- sive home improvements.} Energy Stamps Prepesed Masiello also proposed \an energy stamp program whereby the needy and the elderly and the infirmed would receive stamps to be used like cash in paying uti- lity costs.\\ And he suggest- ed the establishment of a New York-Ontario Energy Alliance \to examine our LABOR | THIS WEEK at KENNY CARPET B.

The police manpower shortage is also starting to have an effect on Lockport residents. Two elderly residents of the Au- tumn Gardens Housing Project said they no longer go out of their apart- ments after sundown. ''What if I had my place burgla- rized?\ asked one of the women who asked not to be identified. \What if I had my purse stolen? Would a police- man be there in time to stop it?\ At the core of the problem is the departure of four policemen from the department. Timothy R. Murphy, who started just last April, quit July 30. h Znd Officer Quit Seven days later, Robert Williams Jr., who joined the force with Mur- phy, quit. Paul A. Schmit, who came on with the department in April, 1979, quit Aug. 21 and Peter F. Hoelter, who started with Schmit, quit Saturday. The reason, both Leyden and Hick- ory Club President James Artierl agree, is money - or rather the lack of it. The (Bir young policemen left the' Lockport force to join other law en- forement agencies that pay more, they said. \It seems the ones we are losing are the good boys, the ones with an education,\ Artieri observed.
