i Township officials attend spring training seminar SECTION 2 - PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 30. 1984 Seven officials of McHenry Township attended the fourth annual spring training seminar for township officials presented by the Institute for Public Policy and Administration at Gover­ nor's State University held at the Sheraton Inn-Walden, Schaumburg, March 24. They were Albert A. Adams, supervisor; Tom Birmingham, clerk; Howard Snyder, Bruce Novak and Carol Perschke, trustees; and Harry Dean, deputy assessor. The seminar, one of five held throughout the state, was co- sponsored by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA) and the Township Officials of Illinois (TOI). ^--general News At the all-day meeting, the local officials dealt with alternative service delivery, legislative changes, the impact on townships of the Freedom of Information Act and practical problems, questions and an­ swers for officials of both large and small townships. They also heard from local editors of area newspapers on how to improve their effectiveness in press and public relations. Attendance at all five regional meetings is expected to top last year's record of more than 800 township officials, according to Dr. Paul Green, director" of EPPA and a former township official.

Robert M. Haitian of the U.S. EPA said the agency has filed a civil administrative action against Boncosky Transportation Inc., 1301 Industrial Drive, charging the firm violated guidelines governing the transportation and storage of hazardous waste. Hartian said he did not know what material the trucking firm allegedly hauled that led to the charges. He also did not know exactly when the firm was cited, but said the reported violations were found during a routine inspection. According to Hartian, the company failed to register as an approved hazardous waste hauler with the federal agency. He said such haulers must have identification numbers in conjunction with a computerized manifest system that tracks waste from the generator through hauler to the storage site. "We want to know who's hauling hazardous waste and how they're doing it. We don't want people to get into the business arbitrarily because then they lose accountability," Hartian said. The violations come under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, a companion bill to EPA Superfund legislation aimed at discouraging improper hauling and disposal of hazardous wastes, he said. Gary Yonka, vice-president of Boncosky Transportation, said he was unaware of the suit, which federal authorities say was filed March 8. He said the firm^hauls materials referred to as liquid edibles, such as corn syrup, liquid sugar, milk, cream and eggs. Likewise, Lake in the Hills village President Barbara Key and John Helfert, fire chief for Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District, said they knew nothing about the purported violations. Helfert said the fire district keeps a close watch on tankers hauling hazardous wastes, which must be identified with a placard on the outside of the truck. "Offhand, I'd say I just don't believe it. They're a reputable firm," Helfert said. He said his experience has been that hazardous waste tankers are generally in a dilapidated condition. Boncosky's vehicles are clean stainless steel, he said. Nevertheless, Hartian said the firm has been cited for violating requirements that call for a facility closure plan. This plan is supposed to outline what protections would be taken to prevent contaminations if a site storing hazardous waste is forced to shut down, he said. He said the trucking company also failed to provide assurance it could cover any financial liability incurred if the storage site neeeded to be cleaned up after it closed as required under federal regulations. In addition, the company is cited by the U.S. EPA for "facility security and personnel training deficiencies," according to a statement.
