Letter To The Herald Editor
I read your comments in
the June 11, 1981, issue of
The Chowan Herald in
which you attempted to
discredit the services
provided the residents of the
Albemarle counties by the
Albemarle Hospital located
in Pasquotank County.
You based your comments
on Duke Endowment
statistics for the period
October 1, 1980, through
September 30, 1981. Since
September 1, 1981, is three
months away, you must
have been using figures for
some other period of times.
Dates should have been
October 1, 1979 and Sep
tember 30, 1980 edition.

Waste Disposal Approved
SANFORD - North
Carolina state environmen
tal officials approved SCA
Services, Inc., to dispose of
3,000 gallons of liquid
creosote and contaminated
dirt along Highway 87 near
here.
By Tuesday afternoon
(June 16) all 46 dump truck
loads of contaminated earth
had been removed to
Pinewood, S. C. SCA was
called late Friday.
This was the second time
in recent weeks that SCA
was called on to clean up
potentially hazardous
waste.
According to Terry Dover,
eastern area supervisor for
the Solid and Hazardous
Waste Management Branch
of the N. C. Department of
Human Resources, SCA’s
Pinewood site is the only
approved hazardous waste
disposal area in the region.
There is no facility to take
hazardous waste in North
Carolina.
Creosote, a refined coal
tar product used as a wood
preservative, leaked from
the vent of an overturned
tractor trailer truck on June
11. The truck, owned by
Timber Trucking Company,
Inc., of Ripley, W. Va.,
pulled onto a side road for
repairs and turned over.
Cleanup was initially
under the direction of David
Kelly of the Governor’s
State Emergency Response
Team (SERT), and he
directed moving some of the
saturated soil to the Lee
County sanitary landfill
until SCA could be called in.
Lee County Public Works
Director Larry Thomas said
that the ‘ water mains
directly under the spill had
accumulated some of the
El Capitan, guardian of
the entrance to Yosemite
Valley, is the largest visible
granite rock in the world. It
shoots 3700 feet up from
the floor of the valley.

South Broad Street Edenton, N.C.
continues to enjoy growth
each year by serving more
patients, providing more
days of care, performing
more X-rays and other
procedures than the prior
'year. For the first eight
'months of the hospital’s
fiscal year beginning on
October 1, 1980, occupancy
increased 12 per cent over
the same period last year.
As you know, the
Albemarle Hospital is the
Regional Hospital serving
ChoWan, Dare, Perquimans,
Camden, Currituck,
Pasquotank, and other
counties. Since we now have
a number of sub-specialists,
many patients of the
Albemarle Region come to
creosote. Water samples
taken by the department
indicated the phenol level in
the water was about 2,000
parts per billion, considered
a substantial amount. City
officials are still considering
the removal of 220 feet of
pipe for cleanup.
SCA, one of the nation’s
leading hazardous and solid
waste treatment and
disposal firms, has applied
for permits to construct a
hazardous waste
detoxification and recovery
facility in Charlotte
Regional sales manager
Jim Marshall said the
Charlotte facility will help
with such spills. “Once our
facility is built in Charlotte,
cleanups such as these will
be less traumatic for all
parties involved. They will
be less expensive and much
easier to coordinate when
treatment is available in
North Carolina,” he said.

the Albemarle Hospital for
treatment that required
travel to Duke and Chapel
Hill just a few years ago.
A 50-bed addition with
enlarged ancillary depart
ments costing over $6.5-
million opened just two
years ago. This fine facility
has made it possible to
recruit an outstanding
group of physicians, The
Albemarle Hospital is now
spending about one-half
million dollars to add a CAT
scanner so as to provide
better diagnostic services
for the people of the
Albemarle which will
eliminate the necessity for
travel to Norfolk, Green
ville, or other places for that
service.
I think you will agree that
Pasquotank County could
not provide such a well
equipped and staffed
Hospital without support of
the residents of the other
Albemarle counties. I am
very pleased that we no
longer have a 98 per cent
occupancy rate because

patients have to be put in
hallways with that level of
occupancy. I am pleased
that when a patient needs
the services of the
Albemarle Hospital, there is
a well equipped room and
bed available.
I certainly agree with
your comments relative to
the importance of good
management and com
munity lay support for a
good hospital operation.
I think the fine job of the
Hospital Administrator, Bob
Jeffries, the dedicated
services of the trustees, and
the work of the Hospital
Auxiliary and other lay
people have had a
tremendous influence on the
operation of the Albemarle
Hospital.
You are certainly correct
in saying that Duke En
dowment figures don’t lie,
but sometimes people use
figures in away to create
the wrong impression.
Yours truly,
Raleigh Carver
