2-BThe Register: Dorwille, Tuesday, June 19, 1973 Legislators Take Look At Environment With Eye For Administrative Coping f' RICHMOND (AP)-Three legislative committees wrestled anew Monday with the continuing problem of how Virginia can best cope administratively with mounting problems. At issue in the three-hour public hearing at the State Capitol was whether the Envi- environmental ronmental Coordination Act of 1973 should be reenacted in its present form by the 1974 General Assembly, amended or tossed out entirely. Drug Conviction Doesn 't Stop Student School Board Tapping FAIRFAX (AP)-A 17-year- old high school student convicted last year on two charges of marijuana possession was appointed Monday to the Fairfax County School Board despite the expression of some reservations by one of his strong supporters. Thomas Bradley Shipp, who will be a senior next fall al Herndon High School, was named to the full-vote job on the ll-member school board by a fi-3 vote of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, the county's governing body. While he voted with the majority to name Shipp to the three-year-old student post on the board, Supervisor Rufus Phillips of McLean said the appointment probably will threaten the "continued viability of "an institution which has to in what is not a friendly climate on a statewide Shipp, nominated May 2 by the Fairfax County Student Advisory Council, underwent two hours of questioning, some of it in the glare of television cameras.

His selection had been delayed when word was disclosed of his arrest on the marijuana charges. The youth admitted the charges and said he had been fined $100 in March 1972 after a Juvenile Court hearing. Last week, Shipp published his otherwise confidential Juvenile Court record in what he called an effort to prove the conviction was his only brush with (he law and he did not want to appear to be "taking refuge" in his juvenile status. Two bills, generated by local political opposition to a teenager serving on the school board, have been approved the last two sessions by both houses of the Virginia Gneral Assembly to require school board members to be registered voters. Gov.

Linwood Holton vetoed both measures. Phillips commented that "this nomination will probably make it more difficult, but I don't think that reason can override the reasons that come under the label of human and individual rights.

It seems probable that the staff will recommend that the board endorse the project from the staff report presented to the board Monday, despite strong opposition from Augusta County residents and officials. A. W.

Hadder, director of the board's enforcement division, said the staff wanted to wait until Tuesday to make its recommendation in order to take into consideration arguments presented at Monday's hearing. "The Verona Dam and lake project is considered highly efficient because it permits the use and reuse of its released water many times over by downstream communities and industries," the staff said of the proposal. "The project, including the proposed recreation functions and features, is engi- neeringly feasible, economically justified and financially feasible." The $45 million project is one 'of six dams proposed for the headwaters of the Potomac River Basin that would siipply water for the Washington metropolitan area. Louis L. Guy chairman of the National Capital Area Water Study Committee, told the board the project is "imperative" if the Washington area is to have an adequat waier supply in coming years.

But Mrs. Katherine R. Kiser said she was representing "hundreds and hundreds" of Augusta County and Staunton residents in opposing the project. "Don't take our land, and our living and our ancestral homes," she pleaded with the board: "We think the water is made to be used, sure enough. But don't tamper with it so much." The final decision on whether the dam will be built will be made by Congress, by the water board's recommendation should carry a lot of weight.

The board was told Monday that the probable reason for a major fish kill in the lower James River was chlorine compounds from the Hampton Roads Sanitation District's James River Sewage Treatment Plant. The staff said investigators discovered that the highest concentrations of dead fish were in an area of the sewage treatment plant and that laboratory analysis of river water revealed abnormally high levels of chlorine in the water. The board decided to a new system of checking chlorine in water as a result of the report. The board directed the city of Richmond to submit a report at the next meeting on interim improvements for the city's sewage treatment plant. The possibility that the board would declare a moratorium on sewer hookups for Richmond was eliminated last week when Eugene T.

Jensen, the board's executive director, approved the city's plans for putting ending the flow of raw sewage into the Jarnes River. The water board also adopted a staff recommendation to allow Virginia Fibre Corp. of Riverville to disharge up to five million gallons a day of waste into the James River, with certain conditions. Probation Standards Set For State Juvenile Courts RICHMOND (AP)-The State Board of Welfare and Institutions Monday approved minimum standards governing the quantity and perhaps the quality of probation services that will be available to juvenile district courts throughout the state. The guidelines Were mandated by the 1973 General Assembly, which directed the state agency to establish minimum standards for court service staffs and related supportive personnel.

The aim was for uniformity services to the district courts. The legislature also directed the preparation of regulations outlining the functions of personnel in probation work that will offer these services. The standards, which go into effect July 1, outline in detail the type of services that juveniles should have available to them if they are brought before the court. The new court service units will be under the direction of a division to be established within the state's Division of Youth Services.

By the time it was adopted, however, it had been watered down to the point where existing agencies such as the State Water Control Board, the Air Pollution Control Board and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources had retained virtually all of their autonomy.

In reviewing the Act Monday before the VALC and the Senate and House committees dealing with environmental matters, Secretary of Commerce and Resources Maurice B. Rowe said there is at present "no effective, formal coordination process for reaching environmental goals at the agency level of management." Rowe was a Task Force on Environmental Management appointed by Gov. Linwood Holton to study and develop recommendations for the super environmental agency that would be created under the Act. In reaching for a solution to this problem, he said, care must be exercised "to strike an equitable and suitable balance between sustaining our economic growth and preserving our natural and scenic resouces." The secretary said the task force became convinced in its study that the role of citizens' boards in the overall environmental picture should be protected and clarified. Their prime thrust, he said, should be to establish broad governing policies and set appropriate standards and regulations.

But he said the Environmental Coordination Act does not delineate clearly what the boards shall do versus what the executives of the department shall do. "The relationship among the commissioner, the boards and the division directors must be clarified." Rowe said. Rowe also criticized what he said was the lack of-final 'accountability in the Act. intended executive authority should have clear authority and accountability for the department," he said. He suggested to the legislators that their major challenge was to determine whether to strengthen the present Act, to create an environmental protection agency only, leaving natural resources agencies as they are, or to create two agencieSj one for environmental protection and the other for natural resource management.

Among the critics of the Act was Andrew W. McThenia a member of the Virginia -State Water Control said the board "was, and-remaiiis, suspicious of proposals for massive reorganization, fearing that such an act would produce chaotic He said reenactment of the Environmental Coordination Act not be in the best interest of the Commonwealth and that instead, a more evolutionary approach is to be preferred." McThenia criticized what he said was the drafting of the Act "behind closed doors without opportunity for input by those interested in and expert in management concepts and environmental affairs." He offered the legislators a substitute bill which would provide for the creation of an administrator of environmental affairs charged with coordint- ing the policies and practices of 25U 44 2 10.38 11.34 21' Heilig Meyers Heritage Sav Loan Jarnes River Corp.

Boynton, a member of Jhe State Air Pollution Control Board, said that the principal weaknesses of the Act as passed by the 1973 legislature are the power given the commissioner and the lack of checks and balances. The power of the coin- mmissioner under the Act also was criticized by James C. Ray of the Virginia Farm Bureau, who said he feared the commissioner would "become an environmental czar." He supported the general pur- pose of the bill, hdwever, con- tLxeCUtlVCS Meet tending that the present proliferation of environmental agencies makes it difficult to "get sure and straightforward answers."
