The heavy rain and drizzle also obscured a lake formed on the Toutle River by rubble from the eruption. Geologists earlier had feared the dam of debris would collapse and that two square miles of water 200 feet deep would crash down on two small cities with 50,000 residents.

Carter made the announcement shortly before leaving the White House on a flight to Portland. about 40 miles from the volcano. He planned to In-spect the area in southwestern Washington on Thursday.

"Ordinarily we would not subject the public and affected families to the disruption of temporary relocation unless conclusions on adverse health effects had been fully documented," said Barbara Blum, deputy administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Blum said the dumping of toxic wastes at Love Canal by Hooker Chemical Co. provided a "stark example of the problems caused by Improper disposal of hazardous wastes in our society."

Resource Recovery Proposed COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Gov. James A. Rhodes outlined his third major bond Issue proposal of the week Wednesday, a $1 billion plan to recycle tons of solid WfiStfi.

It calls for the Ohio Water Development Authority to borrow the money through bond sales over the next five years. Proceeds would be used to construct a statewide system of resource recovery and disposal facilities, Rhodes said. Such centers would separate from the garbage and waste material those substances which could be recycled. The rest would be converted Into "important energy resources, the governor said. Revenue generated by the sale of the energy produced and by fees charged to users of the facility would be earmarked for retiring the bonds.

"We want Ohio to become the front-runner in the efficient use of solid wastes for energy production," Rhodes said in a statement. He said the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency estimates there are 7.2 million tons of residential and commercial solid waste produced In the state each year, much of which could be reused and the rest turned Into new energy sources. In addition, such a system Is needed to ease the burden on the state's more than 250 landfills. Some of them are already overloaded and others have only three to five years of useful life remaining, the governor said. Rhodes' plan Is the third to be announced In as many days and may not be the last, an aide in the governor's flee said.

If the solid waste and other proposals, dealing with wastewater treatment and drinking water systems, are fully implemented, the water authority would attempt to sell a total of $2.5 billion In bonds by 1985. The agency has sold $200 million to $300 million in revenue bonds in its 10-year life, executive director E. Ben Ransom said.

"Since we will be handling the property records, It will be relatively simple to institute the numbering system at the same time. By working together, our company can do the Job which, if done by Itself, would cost as much as $1 million." He emphasized that one of the reasons it is possible to process the PPN system more easily now than a few years ago is that Camp, in recent years, has inaugurated a plan of updating county tax maps, making them clearer and more legible. "Without these new tax maps, we would have had great difficulty devising a PPN system," he said. The new numbering system will be mutually aa-vantageous to the auditor's and engineer's offices and the appraisal company In future work here, Tagg said.
