State seeks EPA A aid for arsenic cleanup JAMES BARTELT Press-Gazette Madison Bureau MADISON The Department of Natural Resources will seek an emergency federal grant to clean up groundwater contamination from at least seven buried barrels of arsenic the town of Aniwa Shawano County. The strategy was agreed to Monday at a session of DNR officials and Sens. Lloyd Kincaid, D-Crandon, and Joseph Strohl, D-Racine, chairman of the Senate's Energy and Environmental Resources Committee. The DNR will ask the Environmental Protection Agency for money from its "superfund" to clean up abandoned landfills. Last week, legislators received a report from consultants hired by the town saying the cost could be $1.3 million or more, which would include trucking contaminated ground to a hazardous waste landfill near Chicago.

Because the town has an annual budget of only $20,740, Becher-Hoppe Engineers Inc. of Schofield proposed that the state pay for the cleanup. Richard O'Hara, acting director of DNR's hazardous waste section, said there could be two approaches to the request to EPA. O'Hara said the "superfund" can have emergency grants when contact of hazardous waste with water or ground has been established. The other route is to seek a grant and have it repaid 50- 50 by the state and responsible parties, he said.

"The best approach is to get the information, not throw people in jail but keep people out of the hospital," Kincaid said. "Our basic concern is not who was responsible but to get it cleaned up and at the least cost to the state," Frank Wood asks Denmark to back bonds DENMARK (PG) The Denmark Village Board will act on a request for issuance of $2 million in industrial revenue bonds next Monday. The board Monday received the initial request from Frank Wood, owner of Brown County Publishing, which currently has a printing and newspaper plant in Denmark. Wood plans a new building with new equipment in the village. Wood publishes the Denmark Press, the Green Bay News-Chronicle and other publications.

Approval would only lend to the company the village's credit rating and would not -make the village liable. police Brown County police are investigating the theft of approximately $2,500 in tools from a garage in the village of Howard. John Palet, 1305 told police that his garage was entered between 8:30 p.m. and midnight Monday. Green Bay police are warning residents to use caution when asked to reveal personal information such as credit card code numbers.

Deputy Chief Richard Rice said today authorities have been warned about a telephone scam in which people try to gather numbers for such credit cards as MasterCard and Visa. While he said he did not know details of the scam, those numbers should be carefully guarded. TV sex-bias suit opens MILWAUKEE (AP) B.J.

16 in Brown County Circuit Court Monday for a man charged with trying to sexually assault a 58-year-old woman in downtown Green Bay last Friday evening. Christopher P. Johnson, 31, 333 S. Jefferson is charged with attempted second-degree sexual assault. He is being held on $3,500 bond.

The woman was walking on the 300 block of South Jefferson Street toward her home in the Jefferson Manor, 436 S. Jefferson when Johnson grabbed her and pulled her behind a house, court records said. He forced her to take. off her slacks, the records said. But another Jefferson Manor resident who was walking behind her saw the attack, followed them and then ran to Jefferson Manor for help, the records said.

He got an employee there to help him and they frightened Johnson into fleeing, the records said. Johnson was arrested soon after the incident. death Strohl said. Paul Didier, director of DNR's Bureau of Solid Waste Management, said there was now about $80,000 in a "spill fund" used for emergencies with money then collected from responsible parties. But he said a good estimate of cleaning up the groundwater would be $100,000.

O'Hara said a test well under a shed in which arsenic was once stored had 1 part per million of arsenic. The danger level is .05 parts, and the nearest private well has a level of .044 parts, he said. O'Hara said DNR would ask for a test of the municipal water supply of Birnamwood, six miles away, "to reassure the people." The arsenic was distributed in 1933 by the state Department of Agriculture for grasshopper control. The department had a recall program in 1939-40 and in 1945- 46. The barrels were buried in town-owned land near the shed in 1975.

The contamination was discovered a year ago when water was tested in connection with an offer to buy the land. Kincaid has introduced a bill the state to pay for the cleanup 1 because it came from state arsenic. But the bill is based on an earlier estimate of $30,000 for the cleanup. "I would think whatever is needed we will find the money, whether it's $30,000, $100,000 or a million," Strohl said. city and county CPT users set meeting Those who use CPT word processing equipment will hold a meeting from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.
