Public Meeting Set on Fate of SNL Mixed Waste Landfill

From Citizen Action NM:
You are invited to attend a public meeting on Sandia National Laboratories’ (SNL) fate and transport model for the Mixed Waste Landfill hosted by the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Groundwater Protection and Advisory Board (GPAB).

The meeting will convene at 8:30 AM on Thursday, April 13th at the City/County building, Rm. 9081, 400 Marquette N.W., corner of 4th and Marquette. The meeting agenda is posted below. Please call 768-3100 for additional directions if needed.

The GPAB agreed to convene the meeting in response to a request from Citizen Action, and Albuquerque City Councilors Isaac Benton and Martin Heinrich. The GPAB will reexamine SNL’s plan for the Mixed Waste Landfill in light of the new information that PCE from the dump is predicted to reach the groundwater by the year 2010.

SNL representative Dick Fate, project manager for the dump, will present the model to members of the GPAB followed by comments from Paul Robinson, Research Director, Southwest Research and Information Center and technical consultant for Citizen Action.   

R.S.V.P. – please join us!
