Latest News: 6/20/09
Letter
from DTSC to Chair Lutz of the Regional Waterboard
Regional
Waterboard Response
Astonishingly, they are refusing to include this letter in the
administrative record when it is from the Acting Director of DTSC, and
discusses false statements made by Boeing attorney, that influenced the
boards decision.
How can this be? How can they refuse to receive the letter,
when it was certainly relevant, and profoundly pertinent to the decision
made that day by the board, and is from the lead-oversight agency for
the SSFL? Refusing to listen?
This is a very disturbing turn of events.

Ventura County Board of Supervisors voted this week, to send
a letter to NASA Director Christopher Scholese OPPOSING the proposed land
transfer to GSA PRIOR to the long promised clean-up. SB990 is Law
and states that NO TRANSFER shall occur prior to clean-up of the site.

Our new State Senator Pavley - Oath of Office held at UCLA on Sunday, December 7th. Hitting the ground running on renewable energy and we look to Senator Pavley to help defend SB 990 with new efforts to "cheap out" with special requests (yes, requests!) from DOE and NASA for Superfund status. Something they fought for years, so what changed? SB 990 is law today which requires clean-up to stricter standards than that of Superfund. That's what has changed! Let's not forget it's law today and they must adhere to all laws and regulations.
Senator-elect Pavley being sworn into office at UCLA administered by Judge Terry Friedman and the former Senator Kuehl looking on as the reigns are turned over. Letters from both DOE and NASA requesting Superfund status after years of opposition leaves us all very uneasy when SB990 is California State Law today and mandates clean-up to the strictest EPA health standard (agricultural) and Boeing, DOE, and NASA are all required to follow the law. This effort to change the law after the fact is wrong and must not be accepted. EPA Superfund program cleans up to intended land-use which is currently declared to be parkland despite NASA's complete inability to do so because of federal processes they must follow. So what guarantees to you and I have? None. That's why we need it cleaned up to the strictest level so that no matter what comes up later, we've done our best to protect future generations of these past mistakes.

Movie Night at ACME December 18th, 6pm showing historical SRE movies from 1959 and never before seen preview of a personal narration of the events that followed the nuclear meltdown in July of 1959 by a former worker at the time, Mr. John Pace. Download invitation here: Photos and details here: SSFL Workgroup Meeting 1/15/09 (rescheduled??) Details of Movie Night including online download here: Waterboard Order issued: This order requires that they remove the source areas instead of building costly ENTS (Engineered Natural Treatment Systems) atop contaminated soil that would still later have to be removed. NASA did not want to approve such a costly and large system on their property and worried about maintenance over the long term. Now we need to figure out exactly what would still be built, and what would require re-design based on the stormwater expert panel's recommendations. Comment Deadlines include Group 2 of the RCRA process for the characterization and clean-up of the NASA portion of the site that includes the NASA Lox Plant, ELV and Area II Landfill and related drainages and operational areas. Comments should be directed to mfellows@nasa.gov | |||||

| WORKGROUP MEETING UPDATE 11/20/08 at the Simi Valley Cultural Center we all thanked Laura Plotkin for your 14 years of dedicated service and commitment to protecting our communities from further harmful impacts from the Santa Susana Field Lab. As Senator Sheila James Kuehl's District Director, Laura has been to all of the meetings weighing in on behalf of the community, and after FIVE tries at putting legislation on the books to make it LAW to clean-up the lab, we have SB990 that requires clean-up to the strictest EPA standards. Q&A FAQ on SB990 A spirited discussion on the recent letters written by DOE and NASA to US EPA requesting Superfund Listing: DOE's letter 10/10/08 NASA's letter 10/28/08 We were pleased to see EPA's commitment to not make any changes to the timeline normally followed for Superfund Review, and NASA's commitment to clarify some points on their intent with their letter. Clearly spoken from Mr. Hirsch and the Community: SB990, Yes we can. It is law. |
