Title: ECONOMY-RUSSIA: Coal Miners Push For State Aid

By Sergei Blagov

MOSCOW, Feb 3 (IPS) - Rising unrest in Russia's ailing coal
industry has put the government between the rock and a hard place.
The industry desperately needs state funding to survive but the
coffers are bare.

The government, with an eye toward Romania where 200,000 angry
miners marched on Bucharest last month before being stopped by
riot police and army units, has promised to boost subsidies to the
coal industry to about 520 million dollars.

Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov announced plans to restore aid
only after Ivan Mocknachuk, the leader of miners' union exploded
at a miners' congress in Moscow earlier this week. "No money? You
are lying." he shouted.

The coal industry has struggled to survive since the fall of the
Soviet Union in 1991. With government subsidies being slashed
eight-fold since 1993, an increasing number of mines cannot make
ends meet.

Only 50 out of the 126 coal companies in Russia manage to make a
marginal profit, while the rest hemorrhage red ink, according to
During the Soviet era, the government kept old mines operating
long after their ability to make a profit was exhausted. Since
1991 the Russian government also has been reluctant to close spent
pits to avoid social unrest. The main union, the Russian Union of
Coal Industry Workers (Rosugleprof), has 780,000 members and is
one of the best organized - and the most militant - of Russia's
unions.

The government plans to aid the coal sector centre on loans from
the World Bank and Japan's Eximbank amounting to some 800 million
dollars, Sergei Generalov, Minister of Fuel and Energy, told the
miners' congress this week.

The World Bank already has extended several loans for Russia's
coal sector meant to be used to close close down unprofitable
mines and provide re-training in other work areas for the laid-off
miners. Since June 1992, the World Bank has committed a  total of
about 7.5 billion dollars to Russia, which is already the bank's
third-biggest borrower.

The latest loans mentioned by Generalov, however, are still  in
limbo as the World Bank is yet to make a decision.

''We need social partnership,'' said Primakov promising to do his
best to tackle the crisis of non-payment of miners' wages. He
added that the total of 552 criminal proceedings - including 145
in Kemerovo region alone - against managers implicated in
embezzlement or fraudulent mediating firms. In many cases coal
executives reportedly set up obscure colnsulting firms in the name
of their relatives to siphon money out of coal companies, causing
wage delays.

Primakov conceded that the miners were owed more than 200 million
dollars back pay. Delays in paying the miners average five months
and reach even 10 and 12 months at some pits.
The unpaid miners struggle to survive by relying on part-time
jobs, raising vegetables in suburban garden plots, and borrowing
from relatives. Most mines are in the North of the country and
lack of money and failure to pay bills could imply power cuts -
with freezing temperatures plummeting to minus 40-50 in early
February

Despite the government efforts to help, the miners appeared to be
losing patience. In the immediate aftermath of the Congress,
miners at the Berezovskaya pit in the Kemerovo region staged a
''sit-in'' at the mine to protest against 6-month wage delay.

Miners from Southern Russia, along with their brethren in the
North, could act as did the miners in Romania, warned Vladimir
Kotelnikov, the Russian miners' regional union leader.

The Romanians ended their march in January declaring victory
after winning concessions on pay and pit closures from Prime
Minister Radu Vasile.  The agreement has not yet been made public
and the action by the miners cost the country tens of million of
dollars, according to Romanian officials.

Some analysts argue that the Russian miners, whose strikes were
instrumental in the collapse of the last Soviet government and
brought President Boris Yeltsin to power, now lack the resolve to
stage any decisive action.

Still, miners picketed the White House, the Russian government
building in Moscow, last summer for nearly four months in a
protest over pay arrears. The protesters gathered daily near the
government building to yell insults at Yeltsin.

At the time Russian trade unions threatened to launch an
indefinite nation-wide strike in protest at unpaid wages and a
government austerity program. But the "all-Russia day of protest"
on October 7 resulted only in a series of peaceful marches. Both
incidents failed to bring any concrete results - and now observers
believed the Romanian scenario wass unlikely to be repeated in
Russia - partly because Russia's coal regions were too far away
from Moscow to be reached by marchers.

Nonetheless, the coal industry today remained a cornerstone of
Russia's energy sector. Roughly one half of Russia's electricity
is produced in coal-fired power stations. Total coal reserves are
estimated at three trillion tones with some four fifths of coal
deposits located in Siberia.

In the long term, the government faced the issue that most of the
loss-making mines were in isolated towns where no other employment
was available. Miners faced the prospect of having to move to
other regions, but the current economic turmoil throughout Russia
made alternative employment difficult.

The World Bank has estimated that roughly half of Russia's miners
would be forced to leave the industry over the next decade which
would have unpredictable repercussions against the background of
the current crisis.  (END/IPS/sb/mk/99)

2. SUMATRA: On the Activities of PT Barisan Tropical Mining

dtecampaign                       dev.mining               3:44 PM  Feb 11, 1999
(at gn.apc.org)

PRESS STATEMENT- WALHI SOUTH SUMATRA - ON THE ACTIVITIES OF PT BARISAN
TROPICAL MINING (PT BTM)

Monitoring by WALHI's South Sumatra branch from December 1998 to February
1999 on the PT BTM gold and silver mine shows that the company have ignored
and contravened Indonesian environmental management regulation No 23/1997.
As PT BTM is having an impact on the local environment, it must fulfil its
social responsibilies towards the afflicted community. However, it is not
taking these responsibilities seriously. Instead, all its actions are
directed towards evading its responsibilities for the environmental impacts
it has created.

One example is the way the company installed five wells for the villagers
of Sungai Jambu (who had complained about polluted drinking water) as if it
could then continue to pollute the local river. There have been many dead
fish in the R. Tiku since then.   This is environmental vandalism.

Also several local people complained of intimidation over the release of
their land to the mining company.

Discussions between the company and the local community only began after
the locals approached PT BTM on 8th February.This meeting did not produce
any satisfactory outcomes as both sides rejected the others' demands. The
local community want the river to be restored to its former, unpolluted
state; the company to take responsibility for any illnesses and deaths
caused by the pollution; a stop to the use of explosives in the mining
area; and for the company to ask the locals' permission before they carry
out any surveys on their lands.

Based on the evidence it has collected, WALHI states that:
1        PT BTM has violated the above environmental regulations;
2       The company has violated human rights;
3       The Department of Mines should immediately freeze the company's
operatinglicence.

The Voisey's Bay Environmental Hearings are over and people are now trying
to absorb all the information - Excerpt from presentation on Occupational
Health and Safety.

Key Words:      ["Homer Sagan" Occupational Health and Safety]
Media:  CFGB-FM         Reporter: BILL HALL

Bill Hall:  Well, the Voisey's Bay environmental hearings are over, but the
people who took part are probably still trying to absorb all the
information that came up.  If we asked them to recall a particular session,
it might be difficult.  One presentation about a month ago at the hearings
did strike a nerve with some people.  It was all about occupational health
and it was given by Homer Sagan who spent 45 years working for Inco in
Sudbury.  He's also a critic of the company's health and safety record.
Here is an excerpt of his analysis about the situation at Voisey's Bay.

Homer Sagan:  More people die in Inco operations from diseases than
accidents, ten times more.  I can prove it.  The company is inspired to do
something about accidents because accidents they can't hide and they got to
pay compensation and it's cheaper for them to prevent accidents.  So
generally the safety aspect . .  . the safety and health has always sat
together, but health is always forgotten.  And because they never get
caught on health, you know, diseases because they come years later, they
think they can escape it.  And in Voisey's Bay, most of the diseases takes
ten years to see the ***, they'll be gone.

Bill Hall:  Homer Sagan is a former employee of Inco.  His presentation was
commissioned by the Innu Nation.
Last week Inco filed a response to Homer Sagan's presentation on
Occupational Health and Safety during the Environmental Assessment Hearings
- Interview with Christine Cleghorn.
Key Words:      ["Christine Cleghorn" Innu Nation, Voisey's Bay]
Media:  CFGB-FM         Reporter: JULIE GREEN
Date:   11/17/98, 6:48:00
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Bill Hall:  Last week Inco filed a response to Homer Sagan, but they
refused to do an interview about it.  Christine Cleghorn of the Innu Nation
has been through the response and she spoke with our reporter Julie Green
about what she found.

Julie Green:  Christine, the company says all of life is risky and that
includes work at Voisey's Bay.  What do you think of that?

Christine Cleghorn:  Well, all of life is risky and that's why we
takeprecautions in life.  That's why we wear life jackets when we go
swimming.
And that's why, I think, when you're planning a project like this you need
to take those risks and hazards into account right from the start.

Julie Green:  It seems that there's no basic agreement here on what the
risks are.  Is nickel a carcinogen?  I mean, Homer Sagan thinks it is but
it doesn't look like the company does.

Christine Cleghorn:  Well, not being a geochemist I can't answer that.  I
think the main thing to look at here is that Homer is saying, look, you
know, nickel has been proven to be a problem in Sudbury and Thompson.  And
if Inco is saying in its response that because it's in a different form in
Voisey's Bay that's great, but we still don't know the answer to one of
Homer's most basic questions, which was what's in the ore?  What kind of
contaminants are in your ore and how are you going to deal with them?

Julie Green:  So you're saying that you don't have good information from
Voisey's Bay Nickel about that?

Christine Cleghorn:  Right.

Julie Green:  What do think is in the ore?

Christine Cleghorn:  Well, in the EIS there's a rather vague table that
tells us that up to 10% of the ore may contain the following list of
ingredients, which includes things like arsenic, which . . . obviously a
flag goes up when you hear that, you know.  But we want to know, well, what
percentage of arsenic is in the ore and how is Inco planning to make sure
that that's not floating around in dust in the mill or that workers in the
open pit are going to be exposed to it and what not.

Julie Green:  Right.  How far in the end does the company's response go
toward answering Homer Sagan's questions and recommendations?

Christine Cleghorn:  I think it goes . . . it seems to me that in their
response a lot of effort is focused on sort of broadly why a lot of Homer's
concerns don't need to be addressed from Inco's perspective. For example,
you know, Homer says that a lot of miners have lung cancer.  Well, Inco
says, yeah well a lot of miners smoke.  So it's not really something that
we consider to be a problem because we can't separate cancer that they
might have gotten from smoking versus cancer that they might have gotten in
the course of their working day.  But what, I think, he would have liked to
have seen in the response is things like, to address some of the
suggestions and recommendations that Homer made.  Instead of being, you
know, negative about everything, let's try to build towards something more
positive here.

Julie Green:  Homer Sagan made a point about diesel saying that it should
be used underground, that there are alternatives, electricity, canola, and
so on.  Is there any commitment here that Voisey's Bay Nickel will look at
alternative sources of fuel underground so that that improves air quality?

Christine Cleghorn:  They do discuss diesel emission evaluation program,
which tries to look at diesel, particularly in mining operations, and to
look at "cost effective control strategy" for diesel emissions.  What we
know is that in Sudbury they are mixing canola oil with diesel in an effort
to reduce those, you know, the emissions, what's coming out of the end of
the pipe, and monitoring what repercussions it has throughout their
operation.  So is this helpful throughout or is this not helpful throughout
or what not?  They've never mentioned in the course of the EIS how they're
going to take what they've learned already with the deep program in Sudbury
and apply it in Voisey's Bay and nor have they said, you know . . . at the
very least it would have been nice to learn how they were going to move
maybe what they're doing in Sudbury to a phase two at Voisey's Bay.
There's no learning curve and there's no application of what they already
know.  And if their position is that they haven't learned enough from
Sudbury to be able to apply it in Voisey's Bay, well, at some point in
Sudbury there must have been a recognition that there was a problem, which
would have created this whole deep program to begin with.  So when you go
back to those problems that they were encountering in Sudbury, are those
same circumstances going to be replicated in Voisey's Bay?

Julie Green:  Do you see anything there that speaks to the whole question
you raised initially about precautions, taking precautions?

Christine Cleghorn:  No, to be honest, which is disappointing.

Julie Green:  What would you like to have seen?

Christine Cleghorn:  Well, I think that, first of all, recognition that
there . . . you know, because the company has recognized off the start that
life is full of hazards.  Well, let's recognize that there are hazards
associated with mining.  It comes with the business.  There are hazards
associated with farming.  There are hazards associated with fishing.  There
are hazards associated with mining.  Miners are in situations where their
exposures to things are higher than they would be otherwise.  So with that
as the starting point, let's talk about how we can make this a better mine,
a healthier mine.  And if that means ventilating the open pit, commit to
ventilating the open pit.  I hope that the panel makes strong
recommendations in this area and I'm glad that right from the get go
there's been this sort of voice and dialog about health and safety because
ultimately it's going to be the folks in Nain, the folks in Natuashish who
are, and the employers, employees rather, at Voisey's Bay who are, you
know, breathing in this dust and who have to deal with it.

Julie Green:  Thanks very much for talking to me Christine.

Bill Hall:  Christine Cleghorn worked as an advisor to the Innu Nation
during the environmental assessment hearings.

4. U.S. Our Right-to-Know is under siege

Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 13:10:27 -0500
Sender: dioxin-l@essential.org
Precedence: bulk
From: "Michael R. Meuser" <meuser@mapcruzin.com>

HI - Our right-to-know is under siege.  Congress is considering limiting
the placement of publicly funded unclassified information about toxics
in our communities on the internet.  Please do all you can to prevent this.

An article on ZDNet, Intenet edition says,

     Ever since the appearance of www.scorecard.org, a Web site showing
     pollutants in communities, Cray added, the chemical industry has been
     shocked "that people had that much easy information."

I have more than a passing interest in communicating the potential threats of
toxics in our communities through maps on the internet.  In 1995 I placed my
Santa Cruz TRI on the internet.  It was inspired by the toxic maps FOE had
done in the UK and was the first map of its kind in the U.S.  My dream was
that these web maps would encourage other communities to do the same.
More recently I was contacted by EDF and our family business contracted to
do the interactive maps for EDF's chemical scorecard.  Since then we have
done several other toxic mapping websites
( http://www.mapcruzin.com/projects/ ) including our most recent prototype,
Multiple Toxic Point Sources in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties
( http://www.mapcruzin.com/allfacmap2/index.html ).  This was done to go
beyond TRI and get a better picture of the toxics we are exposed to -- a
vague idea of what the worst case scenario data that our lawmakers and the
chemical industry is so afraid of would look like.  It's important to note that
we mapped approximately 24,000 TRI facilities for the EDF Scorecard.  The
worst case scenario (RMP) data includes 60,000 + facilities.
Yet, this still would only account for the hundreds of thousands of facilities
around the US.

If you'd like to read more about this issue I've collected quite a bit of
information at http://www.mapcruzin.com/rtkmorenews/cep02011.htm

Here are a few more quotes from the article.  You can read the entire article
at http://www.mapcruzin.com/rtkmorenews/cep02151.htm

     Lawmakers on Wednesday weighed a question that could significantly
     impact what government information is released on the Internet: Should
     unclassified data that could be used by terrorists be kept off the Net?

     It's being cited as "an emerging national security threat" by Rep. Thomas
     Bliley, R-Va., and others, who called the hearing before members of the
     House Commerce Committee.

     That threat, they add, is "the potential posting of sensitive and
nationwide
     chemical disaster information - including locations of materials and

     potential deaths from worst-case accident scenarios - on the World Wide
     Web."

PUBLIC MEETING TO BE HELD IN CHICAGO ON EPA STRATEGY ON PRIORITY TOXIC
CHEMICALS

The EPA will be holding a public meeting to obtain public comment on two
major initiatives addressing persistent bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) chemicals in
the environment.

The first initiative the Agency is seeking comment on is the draft
documents developed as part of the Agency’s PBT strategy.  The two draft
documents are “A Multimedia Strategy for Priority Persistent,
Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants” and the “EPA Action Plan for
Mercury”. <www.epa.gov/pbt/pbtstrat.htm>

The second initiative the Agency is seeking comment on is the proposed rule
to add PBT chemicals and lower the threshold for these chemicals currently
on the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) list. The proposed rule
<www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-TRI/1999/January/Day-05/tri34835.htm>
will lead to greater reporting of environmental releases of a number of
PBT chemicals including dioxin and mercury and further expand the public’s
right to know.

Day/Date:
Tuesday, February 23, 1999

Time:
9 a.m - noon - session for the PBT pollutant strategy
1 p.m. - 4 p.m. - session for the TRI proposed rulemaking

Location:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Metcalfe Federal Building
