1. Introduction & Info Request re Placer Dome
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 16:48:26 -0800 (PST)
From: Erwin Van Nieuwenhuyse <ErwinV@jsanet.com>
Greetings!
This is my first day on the list, so perhaps a brief introduction is
in order.
I am an applied hydrobiologist working for an environmental consulting
firm in northern California. The firm does a lot of environmental
impact
assessment work and my job is usually to provide expertise on water
quality and aquatic ecosystem impacts. This often involves analyzing
a
lot of historical data (if available) and computer modeling.
My Ph.D. work
was on water quality and primary productivity in midwest rivers and
lakes and my M.S. research concerned the effects of gold placer mining
on water quality and algae productivity in subacrctic Alaska streams.
My question: What kind of "sustainable development"/environmental
record does Placer Dome have?
Wishing you all the best for the coming new year!
Cheers,
Erwin

Organization: Dawn Watch
I have been informed by Greg Wingard that Terry Strong of the Washington
State Department of Health, Radiation Protection Division, will make
a
presentation at the Univesity of Washington Medical School (information
below). As some of you may be aware Strong headed the Radiation
Protection Division until the heat became too great. Strong is a long
term bureaucrat who was the is responsible for the licensing of the
awn Nuke Dump. His presentation will undoubtably dwell
of the "how
safe" the dump is.
WHAT WE NEED
We need data, reports, statistics, etc. dealing with health effects
on
uranium mill workers. Especially valuable will be data pertaining to
those who worked milling uranium prior in the years prior to 1983 but
any data will be welcome.
We would like to be prepared to reply or rebut Mr. Strongs presentation.
So any info you may have would be appreciated.

Russia: miners first target as anti-worker offensive begins
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/russiaminers.html
In this article, Renfrey Clarke describes how the Yeltsin administration
is preparing an all-out offensive against the miners, one of the best
organised sections of the Russian working class. It also explains the
steps being taken by the miners to defend themselves and the perspective
of a generalised movement as other sections of the workers are also
under
attack. January 1998. An extract of the article follows.
-----------------
RUSSIA: MINERS FIRST TARGET AS ANTI-WORKER OFFENSIVE BEGINS
By Renfrey Clarke
MOSCOW - According to recently announced plans of the Russian government,
1998 is to be the year when the country's coal industry is gutted and
cut
up, with the most toothsome chunks ready for handing over to private
owners. For scores of thousands of workers the result will be
joblessness, with only vague, unreliable promises of retraining and
resettlement.
But miners in the country's leading coal region have now pledged: Only
over our determined resistance! On December 29 an extraordinary congress
of miners' delegates in the Kuzbass, the West Siberian region that
is
Russia's largest coal producer, drew up a series of tough resolutions
addressed to the country's president, government and parliament.
If key demands were not met, the miners indicated, a general strike
of
the region's coal sector would be organised.
Of some 200 coal mines currently operating in Russia, the government
plans to shut down no fewer than 86 by the end of this year. According
to
the Moscow daily Segodnya, employment in the country's coal sector
has
already fallen by 18 per cent in the past two years, to a current total
of 359,000 workers. If the planned closures go ahead, the paper states,
the number could shrink by a further 100,000.
(...)
In the depths of a depression, other work for laid-off miners is hard
to
find. And if taking up another job means shifting house, these workers
often face a hopeless dilemma; continuing, acute housing shortages
mean
that affordable alternative accommodation can rarely be found.
If laid-off miners had to be treated in civilised fashion, with job
retraining and alternative work, the cheapest course for Russian society
as a whole would often be to keep loss-making mines open.
(...)
Increasingly, Russian coal workers are coming to the conclusion: the
process through which their industry is being cut up for sale to private
business is not in their interests. The Maritime District miners,
Segodnya reported on December 17, "consider that the coal sector in
Russia should be state- owned."
(...)
Since early December the miners' protest movement has taken on an edge
of
desperation, as the costs of coal production in dead and injured workers
have risen to horrific levels. In the small hours of December 2, a
methane explosion in the Zyryanovskaya mine in the Kuzbass claimed
67
lives - the worst mine disaster in the region since 1944.
(...)
As well as seeing important strategy meetings by miners' delegates,
the
Kuzbass in December witnessed the dramatic use of direct action by
rank
and file miners. In the city of Anzhero- Sudzhensk on December 22 about
250 workers blocked the Trans- Siberian Railway for ten hours, demanding
wages owed from as much as eight months back.
(...)
The assault on the miners will be the spearhead of a much broader
anti-worker offensive, as the capitalist counterrevolution in Russia
enters its most aggressive phase. In other signs of what is to come,
Economy Minister Yakov Urinson on 3 December 30 revealed that the
government plans to cut the number of defence sector enterprises by
nearly two-thirds - from 1700 at present to 670 in the year 2000. And
on
January 6, under the headline "A Reform More Painful than Privatisation",
Izvestiya outlined a new labour code, currently at the drafting stage,
through which the government plans to "bring order to the relations
between employer and employee." Modelled in part on neo-liberal
legislation in New Zealand, this draft code would reduce trade unions
to
playing a marginal role in relations between workers and employers.
In plotting their anti-labour offensive, Russia's rulers have perhaps
cast their minds back to September-October 1993, when the application
of
ruthless, illegal force was enough to overthrow the country's old
parliament and to humble the elite factions that backed it.
But the Russian working class is not a cabal of nomenklatura losers,
despised by the population and outmanoeuvred without great difficulty.
To
a large degree Russian wage workers, numbering more than 60 million,
are
the population. Millions of these people now have little to lose if
they
mount desperate resistance.
The latter is particularly true of the miners, who have strong traditions
of solidarity and are well able to provide leadership for much broader
working-class layers. The Russian government's efforts to dismember
the
coal industry, in short, could finish up with the country's rulers
facing
the most determined opposition they have met throughout their entire
restorationist project.

On February 2 an historical event is taking place. The
United Nations is coming to Big Mountain Arizona where a
twenty five year struggle for survival has been taking place
with the traditional Navajo elders. Over those twenty five
years, 14,000 Navajos have been relocated, many to
radioactive lands. Also billions of gallons of water have
been drained from the North Aquifier, which has left
thousands of wells and villages without water. Testimony of
gun-point pressure to sign land away have been documented
and tribal and federal law enforcement have continually over
stepped their bounderies. The number of human rights abuses
is astranomical. Meanwhile billions of dollars are being
made by the multi-national energy corporations that are
behind the abuses.
Never in the history of the Navajo resistance to these
abuses has the United Nations been on the land. Strong language
in world-wide resolutions, including "Genocide" accusations have forced
this summit. Now many of North America's medicine people,
scientists and statesmen are preparing to converge on Big
Mountain. Reporters from all media are invited to attend.
Please call SOL Communications at 818 753-1241 for travel
information, maps and other important details.
Along with Mr. Amor and his entrouge from the United
Nations, many NGO's (non-government advisory groups that
represent millions of people the world over) will be
present. Traditional Elders will be speaking, along with Mr.
Amor and the NGO's covering the total range of human rights
abuses at Big Mountain. It is time to end the reign of
terror at Big Mountain.
[Mining-exchange list-owner note: It certainly is time! Maybe the U.N.
delegation visiting Big Mountain where the damage has already occurred
could also visit representatives of Wisconsin's native/non-native coalition
against sulfide mining BEFORE any damage occurs.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could help prevent the people of Wisconsin
from experiencing a tragedy like the people of Big Mountain have already
endured?

JAKARTA (AFX-ASIA) - Fitch IBCA has placed Freeport-McMoran Copper and
Gold Inc's BBB- senior rating and BB+ preferred stock rating on RatingWatch
with negative implications, The Indonesian Observer reported.
The newspaper quoted Fitch as saying the rating adjustment reflects
the
increasing likelihood the government could take actions that might
negatively
impact business operations.
The agency said if the government imposed any currency controls this
will
mean an abrogation of Freeport's contract of work, the Observer reported.

By Abid Aslam
WASHINGTON, Jan 11 (IPS) - A broad coalition of socialists, free-
marketeers, and environmentalists Thursday will climb Capitol Hill
Jan 15 to strike a blow against the International Monetary Fund's
(IMF) bail-outs of crippled economies in Asia.
''These extraordinary bail-outs have been undertaken behind
closed doors and without any semblance of open, democratic debate
inside or outside of the Congress,'' the groups said in a
statement.
Coalition members include U.S. Representative Bernie Sanders,
the only socialist in Congress and right-wing think-tanks
including the American Enterprise Institute. They will try to
persuade U.S. lawmakers that the bail-outs are a misuse of
taxpayer money - and, in Indonesia's case, illegal.
Groups also are seeking to derail Clinton administration
efforts to secure increased funding for the IMF by means of a
'supplemental appropriations bill', expected in February or March.
This would circumvent public hearings and scrutiny usually applied
to funding requests, activists and legislative sources charged.
The administration is trying to ''railroad'' Congressional
approval of 18 billion dollars for the IMF, the coalition warned.
''This is a subversion of democracy,'' Lisa McGowan, coordinator
of the 'Fifty Years is Enough' network, told IPS, while Sanders
declared at a House Banking Committee hearing on the Asian
financial crisis: ''I have one slight problem with this bail-out.
It's illegal!''
Sanders invoked the 'Sanders-Frank Amendment' of 1994, which
directs the U.S. government to use its ''voice and vote'' to urge
the IMF and other international financial institutions to
''encourage borrowing countries to guarantee internationally
recognised worker rights...and to include the status of such
rights as an integral part of the institution's policy dialogue
with each borrowing country.''
Labour rights to be advanced under the legislation were laid
out in International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions and
include freedom of association, the right to organise and bargain
collectively, and minimum-wage and occupational-safety
protections.
''In plain English, what this means is that the United States
government cannot support any IMF or World Bank loans to Indonesia
unless the loan proposal guarantees internationally recognised
workers rights,'' Sanders said.
''Almost nobody disputes that Indonesia is an authoritarian
society and that workers there do not enjoy internationally
recognised worker rights,'' he added, citing U.S. State Department
and ILO reports and highlighting the continued imprisonment of
Mukhtar Pakpahan, the Indonesian constitutional lawyer and
inedependent union leader.
''It is an outrage that the taxpayers of this country, many of
whom are struggling hard to keep their heads above water, are
being asked to bail out a corrupt, undemocratic government led by
General Suharto who, according to 'Forbes' magazine, is himself
worth 16 billion dollars,'' Sanders declared.
Suharto should ''come up with a few billion of his own
dollars'' before U.S. taxpayers are asked to pay for the Indonesia
bail-out, the legislator from Vermont argued.
Speakers on Thursday also will blast the IMF's insistence that
countries raise interest rates and taxes and reduce government
spending as pouring oil on Asia's economic flames. They see the
IMF's macroeconomic prescriptions as leading to 'deflation', or
the downward spiral of incomes, consumption, and production - also
known as depression.
Those policies have opened a rift between the IMF and the World
Bank, whose officials are to meet here this week to try to narrow
their differences.
''These are crises in confidence,'' World Bank Chief Economist
Joseph Stiglitz said last week, in his strongest criticism yet of
the IMF line. ''You don't want to push these countries into severe
recession. One ought to focus...on things that caused the crisis,
not on things that make it more difficult to deal with.''
The IMF's measures may help some banks clean up their balance
sheets and governments balance their budgets, but ''this not only
induces needless suffering among people who were themselves
innocent of excess, it's also pulling in the wrong direction,
further depressing the global system, adding to the problem of
inadequate demand,'' William Greider, author of the book 'One
World, Ready or Not: The Manic Logic of Global Capitalism', said
in a recent published commentary.
Greider, noting that global industries such as car-making are
over-producing and face major downsizing, argued: ''Our economic
imperative should be to create more buying power - rising real
wages and stable employment.''
The bail-outs expose ''the enduring hypocrisy of the free-
market crowd, (that) people must submit to the dictates of market
forces, but capital need not,'' Greider added. Bankers and
investors want a ''free ride'' - no controls on their activities -
so long as they're turning a profit, yet they expect to be rescued
from their own mistakes when they make a loss, he argued. In
effect, their private losses are ''socialised'' because, under the
bail-outs, their debts are transfered to the government and
therefore must be repaid by taxpayers.
Anger at investors also has spread to the right wing. ''It is
not South Korea that pockets the bail-out money, but the large
multinational financial institutions that get paid back,'' said
Lawrence Lindsay, resident scholar at the American Enterprise
Institute and former governor of the Federal Reserve.
Those institutions ''presumably lent this money in the
expectation of making a profit. Their job was to make sure of the
credit-worthiness of the people they lent to. They could have
insisted that the accounting standards of their customers be
cleaned up. They didn't and lost,'' Lindsay added.
As a consequence, some two million Indonesian workers have
become unemployed in recent months and more than one million lay-
offs are expected in South Korea. Local currencies - and with
them, local firms' assets and families' savings - in some cases
have lost more than half their value in the past six months. Stock
markets have yet to stabilise. The World Bank has warned of
widespread unrest as social and health conditions deteriorate.
The Clinton admnistration is seeking 3.5 billion dollars to
help the IMF cope with financial crises, and 14.5 billion to cover
the U.S. share of a 45-percent increase in the IMF's capital base,
or membership 'quotas'. Clinton had sought the 3.5 billion dollars
under this year's foreign aid budget but Congress struck it down,
along with nearly one billion dollars in arrears to the United
Nations, in a dispute over international family planning funds.
Hearings on the IMF bail-out are scheduled to begin the week of
Jan. 26. Meantime, key legislators including the chairmen of the
Senate Finance Committee and the House Banking Committee are to
visit Asia on a study tour. (END/IPS/aa/98)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5949-9]
The Incidence and Severity of Sediment Contamination in Surface Waters
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of report to Congress.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) announces the
public availability of a report to Congress, The Incidence and Severity
of Sediment Contamination in Surface Waters of the United States. This
report to Congress is required by the Water Resources Development Act
of 1992. Section 501(b)(4) of the Act defines contaminated sediment
as
``sediment containing chemical substances in excess of appropriate
geochemical, toxicological or sediment quality criteria or measures;
or
otherwise considered to pose a threat to human health or the
environment''. Section 503(a)(1) of the Act requires USEPA to compile
existing information on the quantity, chemical and physical
composition, and geographic location of pollutants in aquatic sediment,
including the probable source of such pollutants and identification
of
those sediments which are contaminated. Section 503(a)(2) of the Act
requires the Administrator of USEPA to report to Congress the findings,
conclusions, and recommendations of the survey required under section
503(a)(1), including recommendations for actions necessary to prevent
contamination of aquatic
[[Page 2238]]
sediments and to control sources of contamination.
The full report to Congress comprises three currently available
volumes, and one volume in preparation. Volume 1: National Sediment
Quality Survey is a screening analysis to qualitatively assess the
probability of associated adverse human or ecological effects at
sampling stations based on a weight of evidence evaluation. Volume
2:
Data Summary for Areas of Probable Concern (APC) includes sampling
station location maps and chemical and biological summary data for
APC
watersheds. Volume 3: National Sediment Contaminant Point Source
Inventory is a screening analysis to identify probable point source
contributors of sediment pollutants. Volume 4: National Sediment
Contaminant Nonpoint Source Inventory is a screening analysis to
identify probable nonpoint source contributors of sediment pollutants
(in preparation).
ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of Incidence and Severity of Sediment
Contamination in Surface Waters of the United States (Volume 1 EPA
document number EPA 823-R-97-006; Volume 2 EPA document number EPA
823-
R-97-007; Volume 3 EPA document number EPA 823-R-97-008) should be

Technology, Mail Code 4305, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460;
telephone 202-260-7301.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Incidence and Severity of Sediment
Contamination in Surface Waters of the United States describes the
accumulation of chemical contaminants in river, lake, ocean, and
estuary bottoms and includes a screening assessment of the potential
for associated adverse effects to human and environmental health. EPA
studied available data from 65% of the 2,111 watersheds in the
continental U.S. and identified 96 watersheds that contain ``areas
of
probable concern''. In portions of these watersheds, environmental
conditions may be unsuitable for bottom dwelling creatures, and fish
that live in these waters may contain chemicals at levels unsafe for
regular consumption. Areas of probable concern are located in regions
affected by urban and agricultural runoff, municipal and industrial
waste discharge, and other pollution sources. EPA recommends that
resource managers fully examine the risks to human health and the
environment in these watersheds. Authorities should take steps to
ensure that major pollution sources are effectively controlled and
that
plans are in place to improve sediment conditions and to support long-
term health goals.
