Dear Marvin:
In clearing up my files, I was embarrassed to find your letter
of inquiry regarding possible state assistance with an incineration
project similar to the facility which we viewed together in Livingston.
I had anticipated seeing you and/or Mayor.Ehrlick at the League
of Cities Convention in West Yellowstone and I was carrying a memorandum
which responded to your letter. Today I uncovered that memo and on
the chance that it may still have some relevance-for you, I have en-
closed it with this letter.
Perhaps we will meet in Helena during the next legislative
session in connection with supporting legislation which would sustain
the program that has benefitted Livingston and Park County.
Best wishes for the holidays.
Sincere ,
Enclosure

Re: City of Laurel Solid waste incinerator
September 8, 1982
I contacted John Bartlett and Duane Robertson (2821) Chief of
the Solid Waste Management Bureau concerning the Laurel request.
The program which funded a portion of the Livingston project was
appropriated $300,000 from the alternative energy program under
the coal tax allocation account. -Livingston received $215,000.
Pre-applications for research and design have been received from
Billings and Missoula. Applications are processed on a first come
first service basis until the funds are used.
The Department of Health intends to request the. Legislature to
continue the project, using Livingston as an example.
I suggest that you recommend to Mayor Ehrlick that he or his Committee
contact:
Duane Robertson
Solid Waste Management Bureau
Dept. of Health and Environmental Sciences

Van Jamison
Department of Natural Resources and Conservation
449-3712
r
I will send a cover letter to each of the Departments requesting
them to respond to Mr. Carter's letter.
