EJ Community Workshop #2: Legacy Waste: Understanding the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Permit & Public Participation

From now until July 16, we are in the public comment period for the draft Programatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) on Plutonium Pit Production. This PEIS was released as a result of a lawsuit brought on by Nuclear Watch NM, Savanna River Site Watch, Tri-Valley CAREs, and Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition.

In preparation, Tewa Women United and Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS) will be hosting a series of free community workshops that will explore different sections of the PEIS and help to draft comments. All workshops take place at Tewa Women United’s office in Espanola.

This is the second in a series of three workshops.

You may submit written comments to: PitPEIS@nnsa.doe.gov; and/or give an oral comment during the in-person comment session on Thursday, May 14 at Santa Fe Farmers Market Institute (1607 Paseo Peralta, Santa Fe).

Anyone living in the US can make a comment.
