Army Corps to clean up contaminants DUMP from Page 3 for the final implementation stage will be planned. “The corps have indicated that they will expedite,” Krepcl said. The corps will take the remedial investigation stage in “operable units,” he said, during which some cleanup of pollutants will occur while the investigation is going on. The corps will focus on soilwater cleanup in the remedial investigation stage, ne said. Groundwater cleanup could take decades, he said. Hanley said the corps will exam ine the long-range effect of the leak age on the groundwater supply in the underground aquifer, or water reser voir, in its investigation. Hanley said the contamination could have occurred at any time since the facility opened during World War II. Thus, he said, it is difficult to identify who is responsible for some of the leakage. “Explosives (RDX) contamina tion is directly attributable to opera tion of the facility,’’ Krepel said. But the other pollutants (TCE and PCB) could have leaked since the defense department sold the site to the university, he said. “They (DOD) didn’t just shut off the lights and walk away’’ when the land was sold, Krepel said, so it is hard to determine when the leakage occurred. “We’re not terribly worried about how it got there,” he said. “We just want to clean it up.” Cleanup efforts would be helped if the corps can find out where the con tamination started, Hanley said. “If we can locate the source, we can cut some losses,” he said. Krepel said the university assumes that the corps will cover the cost of the cleanup. Hanley said funds for the cleanup will come from the “defense depart ment equivalent of Superfund.” Superfund is the EPA’s fund for cleanup of environmental contami nation. UNL Police Chief Gade to retire in August By Diane Brayton Staff Reporter After two decades of serving the University of Ncbraska-Lincoln, UNL Police Chief Gail Gadc will retire from his post in August.

Before taking over the UNL Police Department, Gade was in charge of the Lincoln Police Department’s ju venile division. Gade’s career as UNL police chief began May 1,1969, a day he said was the worst in his career. * “That year, students were being arrested all over the country,’’ he said. “It was happening at Berkeley and Kansas State. It happened here, too.” After the student uprisings, cam pus police departments were made more professional, he said. “Now we have good equipment, well-trained officers. We fit in with the college environment,” Gade said. When Gade began his career, there were 13 officers on the UNL police force. Now the force has 30 officers, six stall members and a group of students serving as security and parking control personnel. ‘‘I guess that’s kind of the magic Gadc said he has enjoyed being number,” Gadc said, part of the university system and Alter retiring, Gadc said, he plans having the honor of being in charge of to sleep late, work on some hobbies, the department. do volunteer work and travel. He said he decided to retire in “I’ll probably be baby-sitting for August because he will be 65. my two sons, loo,” Gadc said. .
