4 eg° I 043 043 THE HO 11 NOR&E LES AuC01N ULY AGE TOHREE986 AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT DOE'S METHODS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN 2.2. 1 1986. THE 63 MILLION GALLONS OF MILITARY WASTES WHICH HAVE PILED UP AT HANFORD MUST BE DEALT WITHIN A MANNER THAT PROTECTS THE LIVES, HEALTH, AND ECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE PEOPLE OF OUR REGION. hFcIVEG COE-RPM JUL I A 1986 1141 WMDIVISION Rc^4VEU GOc-RLL E H^1ÔRN IPA LES AuC01N ûL1? U F I PAG E OUR %NmoNISB)N / IT']; CLEAR THAT THE GRAVITY. OF THIS PROBLEM REQUIRES THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC. AND TECHNICAL RESOURCES. THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF NORTHWEST FAMILIES DEMANDS NOTHING LESS.,^WITH A HALF-LIFE OF 24,000 YEAR S, PLUTONIUM IS AN ELEMENT THAT CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO RISE FROM ITS GRAVE AND HAUNT FUTURE GENERATIONS IN OUR WINDS AND WATERWAYS. 2. 2 . 1 Co THERE ARE THREE CRITERIA THAT ABSOLUTELY MUST BE MET IN 2. 2 • 1 ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. FIRST, THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE AND THE REGION MUST BE THE PARAMOUNT CONSIDERATION IN DETERMINING DISPOSAL METHODS AND PROCEDURES. SECOND, THE STANDARDS FOR DISPOSING OF MILITARY WASTES SHOULD BE -I AS STRINGENT AS THE STANDARDS FOR DISPOSING OF CIVILIAN 2 .2. / WASTES. PLUTONIUM IS PLUTONIUM, WHETHER IT IS GENERATED BY A 2.2 L MILITARY REACTOR OR BY A CIVILIAN REACTOR. THIRD, YOUR DRAFT <strong>EIS</strong> RECOMMENDATION TO CONTINUE USING SOIL AS A - MEDIUM FOR DUMPING CONTAMINATED WASTES IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS t O PRACTICE IS NOT ALLOWED AT CIVILIAN FACILITIES, AND AS WE MEET 1 HERE TODAY IS BEING PHASED OUT AT THE DEPARTMENT'S SAVANNAH RIVER FLNNT IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I CANNOT IMAGINE .A SINGLE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT'S INSISTENCE THAT THIS MISBEGOTTON PRACTICE CONTINUE AT HANFORD, AND WHY IN PARTICULAR YOU SINGLE OUT THE NORTHWEST FOR SUCH SLIPSHOD TREATMENT. SO I'M DELIGHTED TO HAVE THE - APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE'S SUPPORT FOR STOPPING THIS PRACTICE. `. IF THE LESSON OF SELECTING A REPOSITORY SITE FOR DISPOSAL OF CIVILIAN NUCLEAR WASTES IS NOW TO BE APPLIED TO THE DEPARTMENT'S UECISION-MAKING PROCESS FOR DISPOSAL OF 111LlTARY WASTES. THEN THE MERIT-BASED CRITERION.!SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. i- _ AND THAT IMMEASURABLE ELEMENT OF PUBLIC CONFIDENCE, WILL BE - SORELY MISSING./, TOO MANY YEARS OF CARELESS DISPOSAL OF WASTES IN SHALLOW MEDIUM HAVE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN CONTAMINATION OF — 2 . 2 . G GROUNDWATER SCOURCES AND ULTIMATELY THE COLUMBIA RIVER. FAILURE TO ADDRESS THIS FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WILL RESULT IN AN 3• Z.Y. AA 1 ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE /IN ADDITION.;OURS IS .A REGION OF THE COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE. HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR YEARS TO R EBUI LD OUR ECONOMY AND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE OF THE GREATEST WATERWAYS OF THE WORLD%TO INCREASE TRADE AND VITAL FISHERIES RESOURCES. AND THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTHWEST CONSIDER IT A SLAP IN THE FACE TO SEE THE DEPARTMENT AND THE;FEDERAL — R+r. 1
