Nuclear Watch New Mexico Action Alert
NM Environment Department Plans to Unveil Revised Los Alamos Cleanup Agreement
March 30, 2016, 1PM, Sandia Resort
Public Comment Is Invited
Los Alamos Cleanup At the Crossroads
NM Environment Department and officials from Los Alamos National Laboratory plan to roll out a draft of the revised Consent Order, which is the agreement for fence-to-fence cleanup of legacy Cold War waste from nuclear weapons production and research. The last compliance date of the original agreement was December 6, 2015, and although much investigation was completed, much more work is still needed.
Nuclear Watch New Mexico believes
- A new schedule is mostly what is needed
- Lack of budget cannot be an excuse for lack of cleanup
- Particular items to keep – meaningful public comment and a final date
But we suspect big changes and not all for the better protection of Northern NM.
