Now, Mission Linen is just about ready to install wells under the plant site to suck pollution out of the soil so it won't keep seeping into the ground water, said Pat Clymer, a DEQ hydrologist. The state in the upcoming week will start seeking bids from private contractors to conduct the pollution investigation and to install four more monitoring wells between Mission Linen and the UA wells, she said. Clymer acknowledged, however, that last week's EPA letter has "put pressure on us" to get these actions rolling.

The bidding process had been in the works for two months, she said. north of Mission Linen, Basefsky said. But the area's slow ground water flow means it would be decades before the contamination reached most of the city wells within that four-mile radius, he said. Still, "the more quickly it is cleaned up, the better," he added. One unanswered question, EPA's Montgomery said, is whether decades of intense city well pumping of that aquifer has shifted the ground water flow in that area from a northwesterly direction to one going straight north.

The contaminated monitoring well lies straight north of the linen plant and the EPA has seen the ground water movement fluctuate from northwest to northerly directions, he said. City officials won't rule out that possibility. But Joe Babcock, Tucson Water's chief hydrologist, said that hasn't happened in the past 50 years despite heavy regional ground water pumping. State officials said a lack of funds tops tne list of reasons the Mission Linen investigation has dragged. Until one year ago, the state only had one official working in the Tucson-area Superfund program.

Today the office has six employees. The state will hire three more for the office in the next 90 days, DEQ Tucson manager Matthewson said. Another problem is the state water quality law, which until 1997 encouraged polluters or prospective polluters to go to court to fight efforts to get them Clues scarce in Grinder hit-and-run death JORDAN, Jean 66, of Tucson, died Friday, July 16, 1999.

N. Oracle W. Miracle Mile. Continued from Page One taining it, Marcus wrote. State Department of Environmental Quality officials admitted yesterday th.it they moved too slowly to investigate and clean up the contamination.

But they deny that no progress has been made, and said they are now just about ready to start a full-fledged investigation. They predict they can now move faster than EPA's expected two-year timetable to investigate and start a cleanup. "EPA has not listed a (Super-fund) site in Arizona for 10 years," said Matt Mathewson, who heads the DEQ's Tucson-area regional office. "That's part of the reason why we think it is important to leave it under (state control)." EPA was spurred to move onto DEQ's turf and start investigating this site about one year ago in part by a letter from an area neighborhood association expressing dissatisfaction with the pace of the cleanup, Marcus wrote. Ted Warmbrand, former president of the San Antonio Neighborhood Association, said he's not surprised by the EPA letter to Hull.

"We've been saying this is a problem and people have been shoving it off," Warmbrand said yesterday. "We walk around the soil and we don't know what kind of gases are coming out of the ground. It seems that if EPA comes in and is trying to remediate, we at least know something is getting cleaned up." Currently, Marcus wrote, no one knows precisely how far the pollution has spread. Because of that, the risk that this pollution will reach city or FUNERAL NOTICES TURNER, Charles Troy "Chuck" 77, passed away July 16, 1999 in Tucson, AZ in his sleep.

Dawn. Casey Closest city well? Broadway Lrfjgj Mission Linen The Arizona Daily Star UA wells soon is unknown, said Mike Montgomery, chief of EPA's Arizona-California cleanup section. Typically, ground water in the Tucson area moves at about 500 to 1,000 feet per year. That means contamination from the monitoring well could reach one of those UA wells in three to four years. Tucson Water officials contend that Marcus' letter grossly exaggerated the number of residents who could be affected by the ground water contamination.

Marcus' letter said that 53 wells lying within a four-mile radius of the Mission Linen plant furnish drinking water to 600,000 people. That's about how many people get drinking water from Tucson Water's entire 190-well system -not 53 wells, said Mitch Basefsky, a Tucson Water spokesman. The city was concerned enough about the contamination to install the monitoring well Hit-and-run Continued from Page One Watts, who used to watch Grinder jog by her house. "Martha would jog by, and I worried about her when she jogged. I didn't know her very well, but she jogged past my house on dirt roads.

She was always wearing her headset." Pima County Department of Transportation and Flood Control spokeswoman Mary Lou Johnson said the speed limits on county roads are safe. She said the county sets speed limits by conducting speed studies. Researchers sit at the side of the road and record how fast people drive. The speed limit the department sets is the average speed that the 85th percentile of cars travel. "If we arbitrarily lowered the speed limit, it would create more of a safety hazard," Johnson said.

"Some people would obey the speed limit, but those 85 percent who feel comfortable driving at 45 mph would take unnecessary risks to pass. A speed limit sign does not control the speed that people drive." Speed limits are simply a reflection of the speeds that people feel safe driving, said Johnson, who added that the last public request to reduce a speed limit within the county that she remembered her department receiving was "several years ago." Jogger Darrell Maxey, who has been running on Tucson's roads for the last 15 years, agrees with Johnson. "Forty (mph) is fine, as long as people obey that," Maxey said. "The problem is that people go by at 50 and 55. That's awfully dangerous." Dog tags Joggers sometimes don't carry identification with them because it is inconvenient.

But, "We think people should carry identification all the time, especially adults," said Tucson police Sgt. Judy Altieri. One option to help lighten the load for joggers is a dog tag a chain with a metal plate attached with the owner's name, address and telephone number. Forbes top spender at $8.2 million The Associated Press Relying heavily on his own wealth, publisher Steve Forbes' campaign has spent $8.2 million so far, more money than any other presidential candidate. The spending includes the salaries of five veteran political aides who each make more than $100,000 a year, and $2.7 million worth of TV, radio and newspaper advertisements in Iowa, New Hampshire, Arizona and California.

Vice President Al Gore was close behind at $8.1 million, and Texas Gov. George W. Bush spent $7.2 million. Bush spent just $38,000 on media in the first six months of this year, but he shelled out $712,177 to charter airplanes to travel around the country.

Clothing Grinder was wearing is being processed at a crime lab. The evaluation will be completed Monday. Woolridge said that no paint chips were found at the crash scene. Any paint samples from Grinders clothes will be sent to an FBI lab to determine the make, model and year of the vehicle they came from.

Police identified her by tracing a tape from a library that was found in a cassette deck near where sne was hit. A safer jog While no one can know for sure, it's possible Grinder was listening to the cassette while jogging with her 9-month-old daughter, who was restrained in a stroller.

Grinder died at University Medical Center on Friday, two days after being struck. Her daughter, Rollie Marie Grinder, was released from the hospital Monday. Melissa Merson, the chairwoman of the women's USA Triathlon division, said wearing headphones while jogging is a severe safety hazard. The music not only blocks out the warning sounds of an oncoming car, allowing cars to sneak up on motorists, she said, but it also makes joggers vulnerable to muggers.
