EPA official cites Lavelle actions for 1982 campaign
William Hedeman testified that Rita Lavelle arranged politically motivated Superfund actions during the 1982 election season and sought 1984 Senate races. Lavelle was fired in February and faces contempt of Congress for declining to testify. Hedeman described trips to Michigan and New Jersey to announce funding and cleanup before elections, and discussed plans to shift responsibility to the Interior Department to avoid mining waste costs. The committee focuses on EPA response to an asbestos site in Globe, Arizona, where residents urged action as two mothers spoke of fears for their children. Hedeman said a final decision on mining waste policy would come in two to three weeks.
