On October 20, the Ombudsman recommended that WTI be shut down
immediately for at least six months. The report cited faulty test
data, bad air monitoring and a flawed risk assessment, raising
serious questions about the safety and legality of the incinerator
and its license to operate.
The incinerator opponents have demanded that Vice President Gore
keep a 1992 promise to halt WTI which is located 400 yards from an
elementary school in East Liverpool.
Gore advisors have said the Vice President supports the shut
down recommendations. Yet the EPA continues to defy the
recommendations and WTI continues to operate.
Activists intend to question Gore about WTI at the rally outside
Hamerschlag Hall at Carnegie Mellon University at 4:15 PM
Friday.
