...avoid a conflict of interest in the case of the Stringfellow Acid Pits dump near Riverside, Calif., a high-priority EPA target site where 32 million gal. of toxic wastes had been dumped during 17 years. Before joining EPA, Lavelle had worked for the California chemical company Aerojet-General Corp., where she developed a public relations campaign to counter pollution charges against the company. It was a job that kept her busy. In 1979 California accused the company of illegally dumping 20,000 gal. per day of poisonous waste; in 1981 the EPA branded Aerojet's liquid fuel plant...

A good safety program goes far beyond the law's requirements." Such sound programs are already in force at some companies, including Aerojet General, Du Pont, General Dynamics, Boeing, General Motors, Ford, IBM, Westinghouse and Firestone.

...Protection Agency has just awarded a $570,000 steam-engine-development contract to a small firm in Newton, Mass., called Steam Engine Systems, or SES. Similar contracts to develop non-steam, low-pollution vapor engines using organic fluids like fluronol instead of water have gone to California's Aerojet-General Corp. and Thermo Electron of Waltham, Mass. The environmental agency expects to hold a competitive runoff by year's end to determine which of the three engines merits additional federal money...
