He said there was evidence of the high toxicity of the herbicide and resulting harm to people moving tit around in areas which have been sprayed. He did not object to hearing public testimony about possible alternatives. Mr. Lieuallen, with concurrence of the second, withdrew his former motion. Mr. Lieuallen then listed the proposal of the Oregon Environmental Council which he hoped Council would support: 1. Prior notice of 21 days to all land owners and residents within one mile, all owners of water rights within five miles, and all owners of municipal water supplies within 50 miles; 2. Prior notice of 21 days and six-months subsequent notice posted on all roads and points of entry and every 100 feet along roads and trails traversing the sprayed areas; 3. Prior notice of 21 days in newspapers within 50 miles; 4. Notice must include health hazards; 5. That a 200-foot buffer strip must be maintained between all Class 1 streams, roads, and trails. Mr. Lieuallen moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to support the e OEC recommendations and forward the Council statement to the State Board of Forestry. In subsequent Council discussion there was some concern expressed about posting every 100 feet on a trail or road. It was cited as being unnecessary and impractical. Mr. Lieuallen thought those kinds of rules would become moot as the point was reached where no dioxins were used. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to amend the motion to de 1 ete the reference to II every 100 feet pos ti ng. II Motion carried with all Councilors present voting aye, except Mr. Bradley and Mr. Haws voting no. Vote was taken on the main motion which carried unanimously.
