Kay said that the companies and individuals responsible for dumping the dioxin-contaminated materials could be held liable.
"We will take whatever legal action is necessary to accomplish the clean-up." Kay said.
Although Times Beach is currently the major problem in Kay's region, the agency must find a new location.
Kay said the EPA was trying to implement laws that Congress had passed that had been ignored by past administrations.
"I think the president has demonstrated a number of times his concern about the environment and his concern for people." Kay said.

for enforcement responsibility."
"I don't like their environmental policies," Rowland said. "But they are doing what they said they'd do."
Robert Glicksman, associate professor of environmental and energy law, said there had been fewer enforcement actions at the administrative and judicial levels during the Reagan administration than during past administrations.
Glickman said his primary concern was that Reagan had delegated a great deal of authority to the states to adopt and enforce environmental laws, and at the same time reduced the amount of federal aid to state governments to carry out environmental objectives.
"States are being asked to do more with less," Glickman said. "Some states have adopted more stringent environmental standards than others."
Kay said those who thought Reagan was transferring the EPA's power to enforce environmental policies to the state "being critical of state government."

Responding to Glickman's assertion that there had been wrongly actions against the Sagar Agency's Administration, Kay said, "As offenders come into compliance with the law, it stands to reason that the actual amount of violations would decline."
The perfect statistic would be total compliance, Kay said, which would save taxpayers money.

official reaction, but extensive reaction in the Soviet media.
He also said the report would be used as the basis for a Soviet propaganda campaign designed to get Third World nations to condemn the United States.
The thrust of the document presumes Soviet military capability to threaten U.S. destruction, a theme administration officials have used publicly as the rationale for Reagan's unprecedented peacetime rearmament. Congress increasingly has begun questioning that buildup.
The document makes these other points:
- A Soviet invasion of the Persian Gulf oil fields would ignite a large conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. It projects China as a possible U.S. ally in such a conflict.
- Far-reaching plans should be mapped to provide U.S. forces with manpower and equipment necessary to fight the Soviets on several fronts for an indefinite period.
- Preparations should be made to wage war effectively from outer space, and treaties should not be signed that prevent the United States from developing space-based weapons which add a new dimension to military capabilities.
- An anti-satellite weapon should achieve operational status by fiscal 1887.
- The United States will redress the balance of power with the Soviets and protect its security interests, if need be without arms control.
- Modifying the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Moscow, which bans more than one aircraft.
- A nuclear war begun at sea would not necessarily remain limited to the sea.
- ABM site, should not be rued out in seeking basing options for the MX missile.
- Large economic difficulties will confront the Soviets in the mid-1980s, and America should exploit them by opening new areas of military competition aimed at making Soviet arsenals obsolete.
- The Army should develop a medium-range missile to replace the nuclear-tipped Lance rocket deployed in Western Europe.
- The Air Force should plan to fly random patrols with WAACS – Airborne Warning and Control System in aircraft around the U.S. military training in fiscal 1984 as part of its air defense system.
Threat of charges stops parachuting porkers act
By United Press International
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A sky-diving pig act at a music festival was canceled yesterday under pressure from an animal protection group that threatened to seek charges against the promoter.
"HE DIDN'T GIVE us a hard time at all," said MacBain. "He just couldn't understand why we never stopped the Ringling Brothers and Barmen & Bailey Circus when they do their acts. I really couldn't give him an answer."
Promoter Walter F. Sill of Nashville, Tenn., had planned for three pigs to take the tail skipped to sky divers during the "Great American Pig-Out" festival in nearby Pinellas Park.
BUT THE SOCIETY for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals threatened to seek charges of cruelty to animals — a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up $1,000 and a year in jail.
About 2,000 people who attended the festival were greeted at the gate by a sign that read: "Political pressure from the SPCA has caused us to cancel the sky-diving pig act."
"We got our point across to them," said Gary MacBain, SPCA humane officer for Pinellas County. "The pigs didn't go up and that's what we were interested in. It was just our concern that it was an unnatural act for a pig, and it was."
We are satisfied, Jesse,
MacBain led a small group of SPCA officials to
the festival grounds. He said Sill was "very
polite" to the SPCA officers.
"I don't think it's any more unnatural than having tigers jump through hoops of fire or having bears ride bicycles," said Sill. "Certainly if a pig is sky diving, that's a lot more fun than the other alternative — which is ending up as ham or bacon on someone's plate."
Sill said Saturday that he saw nothing wrong with the sky-diving pigs.

college and getting important jobs than ever. Scott said, they continue to be "the last generation of teachers."
Because of increasing unemployment and its effects on blacks, Scott predicted another civil rights movement soon.
"But with today's problems, a new leader would have to be twice as strong as King was to start a civil rights movement," he said.
At another commemoration celebration in Las Vegas Sunday, four people were charged with murder in a shootout that left one person dead and three wounded.
Police said the trouble began while 4,000 people watched performances by high shool marching bands and drill teams in a parking lot.
Scofft said the world would be different today if King had never been in the hands of methods of Maleo X, the king.
black-nationalist leader who was shot to death at a harlem rally in New York City in 1965.
"The force of those two great men would have pulled our black people together more than they are today," he said.
wetnessmatter said she thought blacks had not achieved King's dream of equality because they had not solved problems of tension within their own race.
"There's too much frustration between us," she said. "If someone moves up on the toot pole, then other blacks are envious."
The recent race riots in Miami are an indication of the growing unrest of many blacks. Weathersby said.
"It's hard to turn the other cheek because blacks have been oppressed for so long," she said. "But the violence isn't the way to go about it. It's not solving anything."
