Appointment adds exciteme By Mike Hermann Being appointed to a state committee by the governor has added new excitement to a USC professor's duties. Gov. Dick Riley has appointed Ann Bowman H nrnfoccnr in tho j M vivoovi Ail tuv- JL/cpai \,~ ment of Government and International Studies, to the Interim Study Committee on Hazardous Waste. Becoming involved in policymaking is exciting, Bowman said. She said she is learning "what a difficult challenge it is" to find solutions for all the interests involved. THE COMMITTEE is studying the effects of the possible withdrawal of hazardous waste cleanuo. Bowman said. It is exploring options that will allow South Carolina to sufficiently regulate industrial waste. Three state senators, three state representatives and three private citizens appointed by the governor compose the committee. It will submit recommendations to the state Legislature in June, Bowman said. The committee is holding public hearings and making industrial tours to learn more about the problem of waste management, she said. One problem the committee faces is finding additional funding if federal dollars are taken away. "Industry feels it's paying enough now, and of course, people don't want any additional taxes," she said. SAA Continued from page 3 who share a common desire to promote USC," Livingston said.

Funding must be substantial enough to protect people and the environment, but not so tough on industry to discourage businesses from locating in South Carolina. South Carolina is setting trends and was recently ranked fourth nationally in industrial waste management, Bowman said. 22. SAA usnallv arrpnfs 90 tn 9=; students annually.

The money raised would go to the Department of Health and Environmental Control, which oversees industrial waste disposal from "cradle to grave." Industry is concerned about waste disposal, she said. Most problems come from small industries in financial trouble that resort to illegal uiuiiigiu uuiujJlllg U1 W'dSlCS 111 11C1U&. ANOTHER PROBLEM occurs when a disposal company goes out of business, leaving thousands of barrels of waste to be recycled. Such a case happened with the South Carolina Recovery and Disposal Co. on Bluff Road, Bowman said. She said industry showed its concern when those companies that sent waste to the Bluff Road site paid for two-thirds of the cleanup. State and federal funds paid for the rest. Encouraging industry to use funds for improved technology in waste problems is important, Bowman said. She said a system that rewards innovation needs to be created. The committee is also studying ^ l ir: 11 ii? a. ufjuuiis iu idiiuiui, me must common type of disposal.
