The city of Miami has used the EPA windfall to hire environmental consultants to test the Wynwood property and search for underground tanks. The city recently tore down the former dry cleaner on the site and placed a $130, 000 lien on the property to cover the costs. But getting the owner to pay is unlikely, said Miami economic planner Schwarzreich. The property's owner has been in bankruptcy and has proven difficult to track down. In an attempt to make the property more attractive to a buyer, the city has promised to reduce its lien from $130, 000 to $20, 000. 1, record 3, English, - economic%20planner

A company in an industrial country wants to spare itself the high investment costs of building a special wastes incineration plant on its own turf and mounts a search for an alternative, cheaper way to dispose of the waste. In this situation a highly placed ministry official of a developing country approaches the company with a proposal : for a consideration of three million dollars he would arrange for the trouble-free importation of all of the waste into his country for a five-year period. He would also see to it that the special waste was buried in a remote and, in his perception, secure site. 1, record 4, English, - special%20wastes%20incineration%20plant
