'Chemical world' is stressed
By Aracelia Perez
Kansan staff writer
We live in a chemical world, and the public has a right to be informed of the presence of dangerous chemicals, several speakers said this week at the public information meeting on the Community Right-to-Know Project.
The meeting was held Monday evening at the Lawrence Public Library auditorium. About 70 people attended.
The meeting, sponsored by the League of Women Voters, was to inform the public of a recent law, known as Title III of the Federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), which states that the public has a right to know what hazardous chemicals are present in a community and what the known risks are.
"Members became aware of the various kinds and sizes of various chemicals located in the communities and throughout the state," said Anna Hebberger, president of the League of Women Voters of Kansas.
It was this awareness and the realization that the public was uninformed that led to the Community Right-to-Know project, Hebberger said. The speakers had three objectives: to promote public understanding of the elements of the federal citizens community right-to-know laws and programs, make citizens more aware of the responsibilities of the local planning committee and the role of business, industry and individual health care
providers, and to work toward public participation in discussing policy and the development of local planning committees.
"It has become apparent, painfully apparten in the past years that we live in a world of risks," said State Rep. Nancy Brown, R-Stanley. "The series of tragedies or near tragedies involving hazardous materials that have occurred throughout the world, the nation, and even in the state of Kansas have focused our attention on the critical need to develop the ability to focus on chemical and environmental issues at play."
It was in response to this need that the federal government passed Title III in 1986. This legislation made state governors responsible for planning how to respond to hazardous chemical incidents.
Brown said this responsibility included the formation of State Emergency Response Commissions and the designation of emergency planning districts, as well as the appointments of Local Emergency Planning Committees, which would receive emergency response plans for hazardous substances.
Karl Burns, community right-to-know program manager of the bureau of air quality & radiation control of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said that companies that didn't inform communities of the hazardous materials they had on their premises could face fines of up to $25,000 a day for each day they didn't report the chemicals. Among other fines, the owners also could face jail terms.
KU hopes to heighten smokestacks in fall
Construction of a smokestack to extend the two stacks on the west side of the University of Kansas power plant by about 33 feet may begin late this fall, said Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations.
An exact date for the completion of the project will not be set until the final bid for construction has been accepted. Anderson said.
The new smokestack will connect the two existing stacks and allow potentially hazardous sulfur-dioxide fumes to be emitted at a higher
The smokestacks originally were designed to emit fumes from boilers using only natural gas. But the power plant's boilers use natural gas and fuel oil, Anderson said. Fuel oil produces sulfur dioxide when burned.
Area residents had complained they could smell fumes from the plant, and some had complained of headaches caused by the emissions.

Anderson said this occurred when a boiler was not tuned correctly.

engine," he said. "Sometimes they are in tune and running right, and other times they're not."
Although there is no immediate health threat, the smokestacks have to be extended to meet state health standards for boilers that use fuel oil, Anderson said.
Bids for the project have been accepted, and a contractor will be chosen soon, he said.
The boilers are just like a car
Anderson estimated the project's cost at $130,000, and he said the funds would come from the facilities and operations budget.
