    Hi Jackie:
    
    I talked to Joy yesterday.  She wants to go to the hearing and is 
    looking for funds.  She has just gotten a new computer and is 
    about to get her modem running (lightning strike) and should be 
    reachable at hope@igc.org.
    
    Meanwhile, I forwarded the new Rachael to co-workers here at 
    Florida DEP and  Jim Bussey responded with great concern about a 
    western Plam Beach County site called "Chem Air Spray".  Dioxin 
    levels in the soil are 1,000 ppm.  
    
    He wanted to know what cleanup levels were.  I told him there was 
    no safe level and he wants to pass info up the chain.  He says the 
    workers are cleaning up the site by diging up the soil with a 
    backhoe and filling drums with no decontamination of equipment.
    
    Maybe one of the things the next conference could address is 
    getting the word out to state agencies like this one.
    
    EPA has lead on this site.
    
    See Prime Time last night?  It opened with the Champion plant in 
    North Carolina and the 40 mile downstream Hartford, NC, which has 
    incredibly high cancer incidents.  I loved it when that movie star 
    said, "Does it sound like this is an acceptable risk for these 
    families?"  I wonder if clips are available.
