FOURTH B5 THE MORNING CALL, ALLENTOWN. FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1981 PC comsidleirs condemning PennBOTs plans for 0-78 4 iissiipiiiii iiiwipllisiil il ill cerns is that a new report be drawn up, clearly indicating how construction of 1-78 would affect Route 309 interchanges connecting with U.S. 22. One proposal for building 1-78 suggests using Route 309 as part of the interstate's route. "I don't think 1-78 gives us our money's worth for our tax dollars," said Pharo, who suggested they would be better spent for upgrading Route 22.

He said that, in the event 1-78 is built, Route 22 should still be upgraded. "We cannot put our head in the sand and say we are going to build 1-78 and then the problems on Route 22 will go away." Citing a PennDOT report indicating 56,101 vehicles pass through the Lehigh Valley over Route 22, Pharo emphasized the need for repairs on the Thruway. Traffic flow has grown on the route from 27,354 vehicles in 1960, Pharo noted, and "The use of (Route) 22 will not decrease in the future but will remain the major artery through the area." He said projections indicate vehicle flow on Route 22 may increase to 80,000 by the time the 1-78 construction is completed. Pharo's resolution noted that PennDOT has built some roadways 1 "which do not begin or end in a manner which makes these roads useful" as another reason the report should be done. He specifically referred to the Route 33 south interchange on Route 22 as one example.

JPC commissioners voted last night to release its special task force repof on a development strategy for Bethlehem's South Side. The report, with directives for revitalization of area, will be handed over to Bethlehem. The Bethlehem Area Chamber of Commerce has in- corporated a permanent task force, the South Side Bethlehem Develop- ment Committee, which will be devoted to redevelopment of the Included in the directives is a recommendation that a consortium of Lehigh Valley banks set up a "loan pool" for businesses planning to lo-cate on the South Side and for bussi-. nesses there which plan expansion. A tax abatement was suggested for property improvements and it was recommended that the city promote "cultural tourism" on the South Side by actively promoting the area's historical points of interests as is done in other sections of the city.

Supt. Ed Wertman attributed WELL TEST Continued From Page B1 ment of Environmental Resources office in Reading.

Kopenhaver said he "can guarantee" that the wells were tested because he remembers them being tested when he worked for the state health agency. He said that if they had been contaminated at that time, the state would have notified the borough immediately. It has also become apparent that the state health agency never told borough officials about the danger to its wells from the illegal dumping into the 431-foot deep hole, even though it warned Rodale Manufacturing about the danger to the public water supplies. JpU 1774MainSt. 0 By DAVID ERDMAN Of The Morning Call The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) proposal for construction 6f Interstate 78 from the Delaware River to Lanark was strongly criticized last night by a member of the Joint Planning Commission of Lehigh-Northampton Counties (JPC).

Commission member and former JPC chairman Robert Pharo said PennDOT's plans as they now stand are not comprehensive enough to justify the $275 million 1-78 would cost to He said both the U.S. Department of Transportation and PennDOT have "to get their act together before any tax dollars are spent on the project. Pharo voted with a minority of members against the proposed 1-78 plan in May 1980 and, in a resolution he drew up and introduced last night, asked that the "Joint Planning Commission pleads that PennDOT not proceed to let any contract for the building of 1-78 nor will it proceed to purchase or condemn any property in the proposed route until a complete report is prepared. The JPC will act on Pharo's resolution during its August meeting. Pharo asked the JPC to plead against construction unless New Jersey makes the necessary commitment and appropriation to provide for construction of the sections of the interstate starting at the Delaware River in New Jersey to connect with 1-78 in Pennsylvania.

Another of Pharo's primary con dumping until the state threatened legal action in 1965: The company began discharging the treated waste water into the borough's sanitary sewer sometime after 1965. Stern said the wells to be tested are at 10th and Broad streets, Community Park, and two at the main pumping station on Kline's Lane. A general sample will also be taken, he said. We feel that testing the wells is needed to allay the concerns of the people," said Stern. He said the water samples will be taken in the next five days and that it will take a week to get a report.

Middle school science teacher John DeLucia recently was appointed to fill one of the vacancies. The board altered its policy for paying substitute teachers. They will be paid $38 for each of the first 20 days worked during the school year and $40 for each additional day. Previously, substitutes received $38 a day regardless of the number of days they worked.

Stern said that the borough's water engineer, William Boardman, has ordered that four of the wells be tested. Stern said Boardman was very angry when told that the state never warned the borough about the toxic chemical danger or that the state was checking the wells for contamination. Stern said that Boardman would have "done something about" it if he had known about the Borough officials knew in 1961, however, that Rodale Manufacturing was illegally dumping wastes heavily laden with cyanide from the company's electroplating operation. A copy of the 1961 violation notice from the state health agency to Rodale Manufacturing stating that the waste dumping "must be abated or treated," was sent to borough officials. Rodale Manufacturing continued mg.

Michael Bendekovits was appointed to fill one of the vacant A 1965 letter from the state agency to Rodale Manufacturing said that "a very serious underground pollution problem could arise," from the dumping and "therefore their Em-maus' wells may be in jeopardy. There is no notation at the bottom of the letter indicating a copy of it was sent to the borough. Col.

Stern said yesterday that he checked the borough's correspondence and found no warning letter from the state. "From the records we can find," he said, the state health agency "did not tell the borough that its water was in jeopardy and to take tests and it didn't tell the borough about the tests it was making." When asked about the apparent lack of notification of the danger by the state, Kopenhaver said, "We probably didn't want to frighten them unless it was justified."
