Sick-worker comp plan is faulted Harry Williams, president of Oak Ridge's Coalition for a Healthy Environment, also voiced dissatisfaction with the program. The coalition has worked for many years to get help for sick DOE workers. . According to a notice in the Federal Register, meetings will be held in Oak Ridge from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 8 to 11 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2, at the American Museum of Science and Energy. Specifically, we need an overall plan for all the federal property on the Oak Ridge Reservation. We need to consider the total environmental impact of many decisions which have so far been made piecemeal.
Piecemeal decisions are our legacy.
People are sick. Let the truths of the past be told. Clean up and make aboveboard property transfers that maximize our children's future prospects. Janine Voner, outreach coordinator for the coalition, said she was the one to contact EPA about conducting the sampling in the Sugar Grove Valley, Dickey Valley and Dyllis communities. The coalition serves as a support and research group pertaining to the illnesses of workers at Department of Energy facilities and the citizens of Oak Ridge and the surrounding areas.
