" ]effrey Deckler A Uni¢ ue Christmas Gift... Project was granted an ex- tension by congress to September 30, 1998, to enable the project to com- plete all necessary reme- dial action. "All current sched- ules indicate that-the work will be done in this time frame," he says. Additionally, Deckler says that both the DOE and the Department of Ilealth "have already ap- propriated enough funding to complete the project. Historically, the UMTRA project has not been his hard by Federal budget cuts. It is a high priority funding project, due to the fact that construction is underway." He continues, "Re- cent legislation gave the DOE the authority to keep the Chaney Cell in Grand Junction open until the year 2023." The Chaney Cell may come into play, as Deckler says thai in regards to the San Miguel Power project, "it won't get done before the Naturita site is com- plete and the Burbank cell closed. The DOE is talk- ing to UMPZI'CO to see if the materials from the San Miguel Power site can be placed ill their cell. If UMP 'CO is not interested ill taking the materials, then they will go to the Chaney Cell." Doo Costs Montrose Man his Life...
