B4 THE HARTFORD COURANT: Tuttboy, July 19, 1988 Eastern Edition Nominations sought in 49th District race East Windsor group is told dump is illegal for 2nd term GOP support The order calk for the club and the contractor to halt the dumping immediately, begin removing the material within 30 days and complete the excavation within 90 days. Lescoe trying WINDHAM Saying he wants to continue working to help fellow Windham residents, state Rep. John J. Lescoe announced Monday he would seek a second term representing his hometown from the 49th Assembly District. "The work I've done for my constituents has been most important to me.

It's very reward-; ing. It's in my blood, I guess," Lescoe said. Lescoe, 49, is seeking the Dem-ocratic nomination to return to the General Assembly, where he was vice chairman of the government, administration and elec- tions committee and served on the finance, revenue and bonding and the transportation commit- i tees. Lescoe said that if he were elected he would continue work-; ing to bring state funds to Windham. "I want to be sure Wind- ham gets its fair share of the appropriations from Hartford," he said.

During his first term, Lescoe said he is proud to have had a By JOHN M. MORAN Courant Staff Writer EAST WINDSOR State environmental officials are ordering the East Windsor Sportmen's Club and a South Windsor contractor to remove tons of demolition material from club property. Leslie Carothers, state commissioner of environmental protection, has charged the sportsmen's club with operating an illegal dump on property off Apothecaries Hall Road. The contractor, Dunn Bros, of South Windsor, is charged with having improperly dumped the demolition material at the site. Carothers' order states that the dumping is likely to "discharge pollutants to and adversely affect the quality of ground and surface waters, pose a fire hazard or provide rodent harborage." The order calls for the club and the contractor to halt the dumping immediately, begin removing the material within 30 days and complete the excavation within 90 days.

Before removing the fill, the club and contractor must notify the state Department of Environmental Protection where the material will be taken. No estimate of the amount of fill to be removed was available. Carothers' order is expected to become final by the end of the month unless an appeal is filed. The penalty for violating the order is a fine of as much as $10,000 per day. Rodney Wells, a director of the East Windsor Sportsmen's Club, said the fill was placed there to reinforce the stability of power lines crossing the property.

The support for the power lines was potentially weakened by previous excavation at the site, he said. East Hartford Republican seeks Assembly seat EAST HARTFORD Debra M. Gaudette, a Republican who lost her bid for a seat on the town board of education last fall, said Monday she plans to challenge state Rep. Richard M. Torpey, D-East Hartford, in the 11th Assembly District.

Gaudette, a 34-year-old waitress and mother of four, said she will seek the party's support at the district convention Thursday night in town Manchester's revaluation could cost added $700,000 Wells said he is puzzled by objections to the fill. He said it is "essentially brick and concrete," which is generally considered to be clean fill. In addition, Wells said, the club must avoid undermining support for the power lines. "Those power lines are serious business," he said. Richard S.

Cramer, a Hartford lawyer representing the club, said he hopes to meet with environmental officials to clarify the situation after discussing it with club members. Michael Baron, president of Dunn referred questions about the DEP's order to the company lawyer, Richard M. Leibert of Hartford, for comment. Leibert did not return calls to his office Monday. Arend-Jan Knuttel, chairman of East Windsor's conservation commission, said he had inspected the site and observed a violation of wetlands regulations.

The filling, he said, was being conducted near environmentally sensitive portions of the property. The DEP order specifically requires the club and the contractor to notify the town's conservation com mission before excavating near the wetlands. It also requires them "to minimize any disturbance of the adjacent wetlands." if some homes were inspected as part of the study and others were not. That could happen if the company found some of the information gathered by the town to be valid by inspecting a small percentage of homes, but then did not inspect others to save money.

I've done more politically by age 21 than most people do in their entire lifetime," he said. Pabilonia said his disappointment in Lescoe's performance during the past two years prompted him to run for office.

"John has been an ineffective legislator," he said. "I haven't seen him addressing the problem of a lack of day care in Windham. He hasn't been effective in bringing state funds to Windham." If elected, Pabilonia said he would seek more state funds for opening day care center in Windham, building more public housing in Windham and offsetting a $3 million deficit at the Windham Energy Recovery Facility, the town's debt-ridden trash-to-energy plant.
