Environmental groups criticize #Hanford #nuclear waste cleanup plan
by Eric Tegethoff
Wednesday, July 24, 2024"A new agreement on plans for cleaning up nuclear waste at the Hanford site in #WashingtonState is receiving pushback from #environmental groups.
"Public comment was originally scheduled to close at the beginning of August but has been extended to Sept. 1 for the Tri-Party Agreement between the U-S Energy Department, Environmental Protection Agency and Washington Department of Ecology.
"Simone Anter, staff attorney and Hanford program director for the nonprofit #ColumbiaRiverkeeper, said the new agreement means changes to the cleanup efforts including how and where the Hanford #NuclearWaste is stored.
"'If new proposals are coming out to ship either grouted or liquid nuclear waste across the region, communities deserve to know that and deserve to have a voice and deserve to be engaged,' Anter contended.
"The agreement for dealing with 177 underground storage tanks at Hanford took four years of closed door negotiations. Columbia #Riverkeeper and other environmental groups worry the new agreement opens the door for a storage method other than #vitrification, which is used to turn high-level waste into glass.
"Anter noted #TribalNations in the region were not consulted about the proposal. She stressed even if they could not be part of the agreement, the agencies should have been considered before it was presented to the public.
"'#Tribal nations are not members of the public. They are government entities and should have been treated as such,' Anter pointed out.
"Anter added members of the public can play a big role in how the 56 million gallons of nuclear waste at Hanford are handled.
"'It's really important that all these cleanup decisions put human health, the #ColumbiaRiver and the environment first,' Anter asserted. 'I think public comments play an enormous role in reminding the #TPA agencies about this."

Cannot find anything on #DisinfectantByProducts on Mastodon. Learned this term at a #Riverkeeper water quality meeting. Did not know that treating water with chlorine or would cause byproducts that can cause cancer. Also known as #DBPs.
"Disinfection by-products (DBPs), also called #trihalomethanes, are formed when chlorine and bromine interact with natural organic materials in water, such as in chlorinated drinking water and chlorine-treated swimming pools."
Added 'on Mastodon'.

Headlines, via #DemocracyNow: Indian Point Nuclear Plant Owner Plans to Dump Radioactive Waste Water into Hudson River
February 23, 2023
"Here in New York, environmental groups and community members are sounding the alarm after #Holtec International, the owner of the decommissioned Indian Point nuclear facility, said it plans to dump some 1 million gallons of #radioactive water into the Hudson River as soon as August. The water contains #tritium, a byproduct of nuclear fission that cannot be filtered out of water and which could lead to a host of negative environmental and health effects. The advocacy group #Riverkeeper said, 'It’s time to draw the line against using the Hudson as a dumping ground.'"

Proud to have worked alongside community members, my CUNY Law students, and a team of amazing lawyers from #NYLPI, #SuperLawGroup #Riverkeeper and #Baykeeper to make this happen. (my part was very small). Together we can build real #EnvironmentalJustice in #Queens. https://www.nylpi.org/environmental-justice-advocates-and-southeast-queens-waste-transfer-station-operators-reach-settlement-in-clean-water-act-and-nuisance-lawsuit/

A story about a small concrete dam being removed in Northern California to restore habitat to #eels and other fishes.
Do not know why this cannot be applied to the many dams on the #BronxRiver.https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2022/dec/22/removal-obsolete-concrete-dam-south-fork-eel-tribu/
