Read-Boyd sun lagoons threaten area near I-95
Read-Boyd waste disposal site near Upper Chichester contains 11 sludge pits with 530000 cubic yards of hydrocarbon sludge and 7 settling ponds. Experts estimate cleanup could exceed 40 million dollars. Private study in 1974 found no disposal records and little data on hazards. Sun Co and the DER have been negotiating since 1970 with orders issued in 1974 to abate the site.

Governor seeks to raise state fees to fund budget
Governor Thornburgh asks the Legislature to reconsider increasing fees by 15 million dollars to support the 1980 81 budget and to drop plans giving the executive power to set future fee schedules. He notes the House defeated the fee hike while defending a general fund bill with no tax increases and highway fee increases.

Thornburgh vetoes budget add ons and municipal overburden
Gov. Dick Thornburgh on Wednesday vetoed an 11.2 million municipal overburden appropriation tied to the 6.8 billion general fund budget. The move would have funded police and fire protection for state facilities, with 50 thousand dollars to each municipality hosting a state college, and portions of the Cheyney State College area in Thornbury townships. The 8.4 million school subsidy deficiency appropriation for the current year remained untouched.
