Read the article myself a few times and presented it to many people involved in the ozone debate at the time.(Refrigerents were the culpable culprits at that time too)
Found it in a Hospital library when I was a patient in for asthma, Thames Hospital, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand and at peoples houses too who subscribed.
Doesnt matter to me if scepticism is prevalent or not, info is delivered, you do what you want with it.
If I was keen to verify a post regarding such an issue, I would hunt down anyone with old hard copies from old subscriptions as it wouldnt seem likely to me that such info would be uploaded to the net due to age and possibly vested interests or write to the HQ of the Publishers themselves.
Essentially the article said a rocket motor burns a hole approximatly 2 miles in diameter that required 5 years to refill. Heaps of supporting evidence with the presentation in both research notes, images, tables etc.
The article spanned 4 or 5 pages which in any publication like those, is a major feature article.
Cheers.
P.S
A quick search threw this up.

TITLE: "Group Says Space Shuttle Damages Earth's Ozone"
AUTHOR: David Sylvester
COMMENTS: Gar Smith, editor of Earth Island Journal, said he was surprised by
the limited coverage given to this story considering the variety of other
problems with NASA's space programs that were being reported during the same
period. "It is worth noting that this story appeared in the European press
over a year before I discovered a reference to it in the London- based South
Magazine." Smith also said that he faxed a press release, citing this story
among others, to daily newspapers, radio and television stations in the San
Francisco Bay Area, as well as to AP, UPl, Reuters, Time Magazine, etc., and
there was no interest in the story. (However, he noted that another writer,
Lenny Siegel, had been working on the story independently and had produced a
l2-page report that was the basis for a story in the San Francisco Chronicle
and an article in Mother Jones magazine.) Smith concludes "The story still has
not penetrated the mainstream press. On December 6, (1990), the AP carried a
story on NASA's plans for '27 Shuttle Flights Set for Next 3 Years' that
carried no mention of the environmental impacts of such flights for the
integrity of the ozone layer."
NASA SPACE SHUTTLES DESTROY THE OZONE SHIELD
"Every time the space shuttle is launched, 250 tons of hydrochloric acid is
released into the air. With each launch, .25% of the ozone is destroyed. So
far, the space shuttle has destroyed 10% of the ozone."
Dr. Helen Caldicott, world renown physician and environmentalist stuns
audiences when she makes that statement in her talks across the country.
A brief article, in a small-circulation environmental publication,
supports Dr. Caldicott charges.
Two Soviet rocket scientists have warned that the solid fuel rocket
boosters used on the space shuttle release 187 tons of ozone destroying
chlorine molecules into the atmosphere with every launch.
Valery Burdakov, co-designer of the Russian "Energiya" rocket engine, also
noted that each shuttle launch produces seven tons of nitrogen (another ozone
depleter), 387 tons of carbon dioxide (a major contributor to the "greenhouse
effect") and 177 tons of aluminum oxide (thought to be linked to Alzheimer's
Disease) before reaching an altitude of 31 miles.
Burdakov also notes that the history of ozone depletion correlates closely
with the increase of chlorine discharged by solid fuel rockets since 1981.
Soviet rockets employ a fuel combination that is 2000 times less damaging than
the shuttle's but which still destroys 1500 tons of ozone per launch.
According to Burdakov and his colleague, Vyacheslav Filin, a single shuttle
launch can destroy as much as 10 million tons of ozone. This means that some
300 shuttle flights could completely destroy the Earth's protective ozone
shield.
All other solid fuel rockets also contribute to ozone destruction. Near the
top of the list are the U.S. Delta rocket (which destroys eight million tons
per launch), the U.S. Titan, and the French Ariane V.
In an article published originally in South, Burdakov warned that, at
present rates of increase, rockets will soon be pouring 100,000 tons of
chlorine and nitrogen into the atmosphere annually. Burdakov has called for
international controls and a phase out of solid fuel rocket technology as well
as a ban on supersonic aircraft flights into the stratosphere.
The extraordinary charges by the Russian scientists were supported by
research done by the Military Toxics Network, headquartered in San Francisco.
Working with the Russian figures and data obtained from NASA, the Network
concluded that significant damage was being done to the ozone layer by the
space shuttle launches.
