Committee heard testimony Thursday on court-ordered improvements to landfills on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Spokesmen for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian Health Service and the Oglala Sioux tribe told the committee that they lacked money to bring the 14 landfills on the reservation up to Environmental Protection Agency standards.

According to a Feb. 5 order issued by the U.S. District Court in South Dakota, BIA and IHS must share the cleanup costs with the tribe because the agencies built the landfills and use them to dispose of hospital wastes. Bill Pearson, a spokesman for the IHS, said bringing the dumps up to federal standards would take money away from other priorities on the reservation. "Approximately eight new or refurbished Indian homes will not get water or sewers as a result of this order," he said.

The IHS has to pay $92,000, 25 percent of the estimated cost of upgrading the landfills. The BIA has to pay $184,000, and the Oglala tribe the remaining $92,000. Rep. Tim Johnson, said after the hearing that he hoped to add $1 million each to the BIA and IHS fiscal 1991 budgets to allow them to improve landfills on reservations Washington digest around the country. "We're trying to get the Office of Management and Budget to realize that there is a garbage problem and they are going to have to give additional money for garbage cleanup," he said.
