N.C. waste inci By The Associated Press c STATESVILLE, N.C. ? Leaders of a local r citizens group opposed to a proposed hazardous-waste incinerator on the Rowan- 1 Iredell county border say they will not condone $ threats of violence to prevent hearings this ^ week. "We are not looking for any confrontations," c said David Moose, chairman of Rowan-Iredell r Citizens for A Clean Environment (RICCE). ^ "But we want as large a crowd as we can get to ^ show the commission how many people are concerned. 1 "If the hearings are going to be held, we c want a big crowd. It will be very orderly, but ^ we will get our message across." a The North Carolina Hazardous Waste Man- c agement Commission has scheduled hearings k Monday night at Statesville High School and Tuesday night at Catawba College in Salisbury. C Moose's volunteer organization says as many as h 20,000 residents could show up at the meetings, c The commission is trying to find a place to put a hazardous-waste incinerator, a solvent re- n covery facility and a landfill. The facility will handle wastes from North Carolina, South Car- e olina, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky that n range from discarded paint cans to acids and in- b flammable wastes from industries. c "Our problem is we don't think the commission will listen to the things we want to talk " about," Moose said in an interview.

The group also plans to bring in large speakers so people who can't fit . into the hearing can hear what is being said. "We could have 20,000 people show up," Duncan said. Duncan said the only thing local residents r have going in their favor is public opinion. r 'They (commission) act like gods trying to tell people what to do," he said. "They're trying to take the rights away from the people. ? "This thing just stinks and reeks of politics," Duncan said. Bj| i: 3ack of Lies. ? ?????????????????
