Site Dear Mr. and Mrs. Truax: I am in receipt of your letter concerning the Combustion, Inc. Site (attached) . I appreciate you taking the time to review the proposed work to be done and sending your comments on the plan. I will attempt to address your questions in the order in which you presented them. 1. The individuals that actually perform the removal of hazardous substances are required by law to wear specific types of protective clothing for specific types of jobs. This is a requirement because these individuals are actually handling waste and are very close to it for their entire careers. It is normally a requirement of the employee's insurance company, as well. The fact that they are in this level of protection does not mean that the surrounding air is unsafe or that surrounding residents should be alarmed. Even though we do not expect dangerous levels of vapors to escape the site, a monitoring system will be in place to assure that any unexpected problems are detected and appropriate actions are taken. This system has been developed using health-based compliance levels for air emissions. 2. The chemicals of concern at the Combustion site are not the types or quantities of chemicals that are particularly volatile or explosive. The waste has the consistency and physical properties of used motor oil. The worst scenario envisioned, but not expected, is an open fire, similar to the recent fire that occurred at the site. This material is extremely difficult to ignitey—and—barring "another arson incident, is not expected. Additional 24 hour security on site during the Removal Action should eliminate ; the arson threat. - OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS AND ENFORCEMENT INACTIVE AND ABANDONED SITES DIVISION P.O.

Site Dear Ms. Crumholt: I am in receipt of your two letters, as well as letters from your physicians concerning your family's medical condition as it relates to the Combustion, Inc. site (attached). We were also contacted by U.S. Senator John Breaux, via Governor Edwin Edwards regarding this matter. I have discussed the matter of immunodeficiency with officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the Environmental Epidemiology Section of the Louisiana Office of Public Health. Both parties advised that, while this is a serious condition, they do not believe this cleanup will aggravate the condition due to: 1. the nature of the contaminants at the site (low volatilization) and 2. the distance from your residence to the site As we have discussed, health-based compliance levels for air emissions have been established for areas surrounding the site during cleanup activities. These compliance levels were generated using very conservative assumptions every step of the way. Among these assumptions include a sensitive population surrounding the site. The sum of all activities, including material handling, transfer, storage, and loading cannot result in air emissions which wilexceel d be thhaltede health-base. d compliance levels. Otherwise, activities Under the Louisiana Environmental Quality Act, DEQ has the responsibility to investigate and clean up abandoned hazardous waste sites in the state. Federal and State law mandates that the cleanup actions be "protective of human health and the environment." The wastes at the Combustion site must be removed in the safest and most effective manner possible.

Waste Site Review. My family and I bsve lived about one mile from the site since 1976. The hazardous waste pit cayght on fire and burnec for days, if not weeks, at a time back in the late '70's and early '80's releasing God only knows what into the environment and the atmosphere. Our son was born July 31, 1977, and has Attention Deficit Disorder and a mild learning disorder. In the pest many children with this dis- order were never diagnosed properly because the State Department of Education never acknowledge ADD as a disorder until- September 16, 1991 when 1t was forced to by the U.S. Department of Education. What I am getting to is Walker High School (located about one mile from the hazardous waste pit) had 7S seniors dropout of school (8H*). I under- stand this is one of the highest rates in the country. 1 would like to know if and how many of the total of these children that dropped out had a learning disorder that went undiagnosed.

  • Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994)
    Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994). Papers, 1927-1985 22 feet Ollie Tucker Osborne's papers detail the activities of one of Louisiana's leading advocates of women's rights during the 1970s. Ollie was extremely active in the League of Women Voters and the Evangeline ERA coalition. She attended conferences or workshops throughout the South. She was appointed to the 1977 state women's convention in Baton Rouge and was elected a state delegate to the national convention in Houston. She helped organize or coordinate a number of workshops and conferences in Louisiana on women's rights. Much of this often frenetic activity can be seen through her papers. Osborne was born in northern Louisiana and educated at Whitmore College and Louisiana State University. Just before graduation she married Louis Birk, a salesman for McGraw-Hill & Company, and moved to New York. After several false starts Osborne launched a career in public relations and advertising which she pursued for twenty years. This included some pioneering work in television advertising. Following the sudden death of Birk in 1952, Osborne returned to Louisiana where she met and married Robert Osborne, an English professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). During the next two decades she was busy as president of Birk & Company, a publisher of reading rack pamphlets. Osborne's introduction to politics at the state level was as an official League of Women Voters observer of the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Early in the year she determined that some on-going communication link was necessary to allay voter fear and apathy about the new constitution.

DUPRE LITTON Tape 1 Mr. Litton graduated from the LSU Law School in 1942, having been president of Phi Delta phi Legal Fraternity, associate editor of Law Review, and the first LSU student named to the Order of the Coif. During a period of thirty-four years, Mr. Litton served in numerous important governmental capacities, including executive counsel to the governor, chairman of the ~ state board of tax appeals, first assistant attorney general, and legal advisor to the legislature. Q. Mr. Litton, your career in state government has closely involved you with the administrations of this state through several governors, dating back to the time of Huey Long. Would youqive us your recollections of the high points in these administrations? A. Thank you, Mrs. Pierce. My recollection of the governors of Louisiana dates back even prior to 1930, which was some 50 years ago. However, in 1930, I entered LSU, and at that time, Huey P. Long was governor. He had been elected in 1928. I recall that on a number of occasions, I played golf at the Westdale Country Club, which is now called Webb Memorial Country Club, I believe, and I saw Huey Long playing golf, accompanied, generally by some twelve to fifteen bodyguards who were on both sides of him, as he putted or drove. Enough has been written about Huey Long that it would probably be superfluous for us here at this time to go into any details concerning him. However, history will undoubtedly recall that Huey Long was one of the most powerful and one of the most brilliant governors in Louisiana history.

CC 73 and the Birth of the Modern Louisiana Two- Party System Wayne Parent* Jeremy Mhire** The 1973' Louisiana Constitutional Convention ("CC 73") happened at a significant moment in Louisiana's political history. It occurred at precisely the same time that Louisiana's present competitive two-party system was born. While the emergence of a two-party system in Louisiana was slow, even when compared to those of the other formerly Democratic dominant states in the Deep South, it was dramatic and has had lasting effects. CC 73 helped define the coalitions that formed the basis of our present competitive two-party system. This article will first place the constitutional convention into the temporal context of this dynamic political period in Louisiana and the American South. Then it will describe how the specific coalitions that formed in the convention became concrete precursors to our present party system and speculate on the difference it has made to present day Louisiana politics.
