handle is hein.gao/gaobaaasr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Vpot.LER£* a 3 f COMPTROLLER GENERAL OP'fHE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20348 S - B-166506 Chairman, Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Chairman, Committee on Appropriations United States Senate On May 12, 1975, the Environmental Protection Agency, as required by section 236 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, submitted to you its written statement on actions taken on the recommendations in our report entitled Using Solid Waste to Conserve Resources and to Create Energy (B-166506, Feb. 27, 1975). Attachment I to that letter contains the Agency's com- ments on the report which were included on pages 63 through 66 of our report and are discussed on pages 26 through 28, 41, 42, and 61. Attachment II to the Agency's May 12, 1975, letter specifically deals with the Delaware project. In our report the Delaware project is discussed on pages 11 through 15, 22, and 26 through 28. We take issue with the comments made by the Agency in attachment II and would like to offer the following information for your consideration. In our report we questioned the need for spending $9 million on the Delaware project and suggested that the Agency attempt to obtain the data from Connecticut's Bridgeport project--due to become operational 2 years before the Delaware project--necessary to evaluate the burning of solid waste in oil-fired boilers. We also noted that the other benefits of the Delaware project had been or would be demonstrated before the project became operational. The Agency outlined its position on this matter in an attachment to its May letter which stated that: The Delaware project was funded in October 1972. Agreement was reached between Delaware and EPA officials in September 1973 to modify the project to its current scope. At that time we had no assurance whether or when the Connecticut Author- ity would actually implement a system, or what technology the system would employ. The contract for the Bridgeport project was signed in only March, 1975. ;7 # 09198 1 RED-75-369
