LENGTH: Short :   19 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO: PHILIP HOLMAN Staff. Employees of Hico Inc. of 
          Christiansburg repair a piece of equipment used to vacuum up the 
          lead-contaminated sand used in removing paint from Roanoke's Wasena 
          Bridge. The company surrounds the work area with a wrap that keeps 
          particles of lead paint from polluting the environment.  The sand is
          collected in a containment vessel and buried in a landfill. Story on
