4P I LAKELAND Eday THE TAMPA TIMES, Thursday, October 8, 1981 13-A Company may mine 50 feet from Alafia River S. RICK CZACH Staff Writer Phosphate mining could come within 50 of the south prong of the Alafia River if "the Hillsborough County Commission, as the Environmental Protection Commission, upholds the decision made by a hearing officer Wednesday. EPC Director Roger Stewart blasted the by W. De Hart Ayala who is $55 an hour by the EPC. The hearing makes recommendations that are reviewed by the EPC board.

The decision basically means that areas determined as wetlands by the EPC are not really wetlands, Stewart said. "I would like to direct Mr. Ayala, to stand a- deep in the Alafia to see whether it's water," said an angry Stewart. Brewster Phosphates, which owns about 18,000 acres near Fort Lonesome in southeast Hillsborough County, was appealing a decision by the EPC staff that limited the amount of mining Brewster could do near; the Alafia. The company is seeking an amendment to its mining permit, which now allows it to mine about 9,800 acres, so it can mine down to the 25-year flood line of the Alafia.

The line marks how high the water rises an average of once every 25 years. The county's phosphate mining ordinance allows mining down to the 25-year Haig's heart has room for women; does plane? WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. says he always has room "in my heart" for women. And, it turns out, there's room on his plane after all when it comes to the U.S.

delegation to slain Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat's funeral. Haig's diplomatic skills temporarily abandoned him when a reporter demanded to a news conference Wednesday whether any women were on the list to represent the United States in Cairo. "Oh, golly," replied Haig, who heads the delegation. "Women are very interested in peace, and also Mrs. Sadat's been a world leader for human rights and peace," persisted the reporter, Sarah McClendon, who runs a Washington news service for several Texas newspapers.

"I agree with that. I think our problem will be simply how much space we have and whether you make an exception," Haig said. "Oh, sir, come on," McClendon said. "You've got enough space for some women." "In my heart, yes, always," Haig said. flood line.

But Regulation, which agreed with her that he declined further comment until the EPC area was a wetlands area, Tobi said after reviews Ayala's decision. the hearing. And DER's rules for deciding Ayala sided with Brewster. The EPC, he what is a wetlands area are stricter than the said, didn't present enough evidence to county's rules, she said.

In a proposed contract change still needing Cabinet approval, the state would assess Austin-Westshore $830,000 for being almost 22 months late in finishing the Sun Dome: $165,000 for work that does not conform to the architect's plans, and $130,000 for failing to complete a checklist of items designed to make sure the state got everything it paid' for. The problem, Levine said, was that the architects never prepared complete plans and specifications, and changed the design throughout construction. As a result, the contractor's attorney said, Austin-Westshore couldn't stay on schedule, and the delays cost the firm several million dollars. In addition, he said, the company spent "well over" $1.5 million in labor and materials as a result of modifications in the Sun Dome, and was never paid for the extras.

The attorney said the contractors on a similar facility at the University of Florida in Gainesville "experienced the identical problem we have experienced." Leonard Melton, assistant executive director of the Department of General Services, declined to respond to Levine's contentions, saying they were matters to be resolved through the arbitration process. "The state's position is pretty well drawn out in the (contract) change order," Melton said."

"I'm not satisfied with way he handles the hearings, and the he renders a decision." Ayala is exceeding his authority, Stew said.

Shortly after Smith's dual-commissioner membership announcement last fall, the engineering committee considered reorganizing the engineering department so that it no longer dispatched road services from political districts. Later, the development coordination committee, also chaired by Taylor, held a series of meetings to discuss new phosphate mining regulations.

Those resulted from impetus from Commissioner Royce second committee member, who had pledged a look at such regulation during his campaign for election last fall.
