Public Hearing on Hazardous Waste and Livermore Lab Site 300 Permit

This is a public hearing conducted by the state Dept. of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). At issue is whether and under what conditions DTSC should renew the Livermore Lab Site 300's hazardous waste treatment and storage permit. The draft permit contains an increase in the allowable amount of liquid hazardous waste storage at Site 300 -- from 3,300 gallons to 5,500 gallons. The draft permit also covers Site 300's explosive storage facility and its explosive waste treatment facility and burn pan. Core issues include open detonation and burn of toxic wastes at Site 300 in Tracy. Currently, the DTSC has issued a draft Negative Declaration for the permit, which means the state is poised to issue a final permit without any additional mitigation to protect public health and the environment. Tri-Valley CAREs will raise a number of objections and make recommendations to protect the public. This important hearing is scheduled for the same evening as Tri-Valley CAREs' July meeting (see above). Therefore, we will have half of our staff at the public hearing in Tracy and half at the TVC meeting in Livermore. We will also have "sign on" comments on the draft permit available at both meetings. And, check our web site at www.trivalleycares.org for sample comments you can use. Just click into the "take action" section. Call Marylia or Rob at the Tri-Valley CAREs office for details and carpools.
