WIPP Agency-Initiated Modification Draft Permit

I am writing to oppose New Mexico Environment Department's proposed permit that would establish mandatory shipment limits from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) before shipments from other cleanup sites can cont...↓inue to be received at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). 

WIPP is a critical part of our nation’s infrastructure. It plays an essential role in safely managing nuclear waste from cleanup sites across the United States while supporting thousands of good-paying union jobs, local businesses, and communities that depend on stable operations at nuclear facilities and cleanup sites. 

The proposed shipment limits would create serious risks and disruptions far beyond New Mexico. Based on the historically low number of shipments received from LANL, the mandatory thresholds outlined in this proposal would be nearly impossible to meet. As a result, shipments from other cleanup sites could effectively be halted, which would slow or cease operations at WIPP itself.

Working people should not bear the consequences of decisions that weaken safety, threaten jobs, and destabilize critical systems that communities across the country rely upon. WIPP’s ability to safely and consistently receive waste from cleanup sites nationwide is essential to maintaining responsible operations and protecting workers, communities, and the environment.

Disgusting and dangerous that LANL has toxic waste in totally unsafe conditions. Why was this allowed to happen?!

I strongly support NMED’s Permit Modification and its important provisions including set timelines for clean up and consequences if those...↓ deadlines are to met. 

I am writing in support of the WIPP Agency-initated Modification Draft Permit. DOE has made it clear that it will never fulfill its agreements unless guided to do so. The modifications clearly and concisely give DOE step-by-step instructions on how t...↓o fulfill its commitments. They allow NMED to measure and track DOE's progress, which is necessary in this time of shifting priorities and political changes. DOE should have no problem with this since it has previously agreed to prioritize the legacy waste at LANL. NMED has also wisely set a penalty if DOE fails to deliver on its mission. It's unfortunate that this is required, but the current political 

environment has shown a culture of deregulation, relaxed safety standards and a rush to act without a focus on common sense and possible consequences.  

NMED has taken this remedial action because the safety of New Mexico citizens is in danger. Waste from the original Manhattan Project is still being stored in unsafe conditions in an area that has been endangered by multiple wildfires and also sits on a known seismic fault. We are asking that this waste be cleaned up and buried at WIPP before any new waste is created.  WIPP was built for this purpose and as the name states, was to be a pilot project and not the one and only nuclear waste depository.  DOE has shown it is unwilling to take the most basic protections for New Mexico's land, property, economy, and physical health. The legacy waste sits in tents on a mesa in a known wildfire zone. Several fires have come very close. Had they ignited the waste, it would create an environmental disaster that couldn't be recovered from. It hasn't happened yet and can be avoided. NMED is taking the steps that are necessary to solve this problem before it becomes one that can't be solved. 

Thanks for standing up for New Mexico's health and security with this modified draft permit. I live in the Peñasco area which is 40 miles directly downwind of Los Alamos, as demonstrated by the smoke during the Cerro Grande fire. Studies of our soil and dust and fruit after the fire, came up with disturbing results, too high in Strontium 90, Berylium, and other toxins that could only have come from the lab. I can only imagine what our situation would have been if the waste in tents had been overtaken by the fire. 

Please continue to protect us by passing and enforcing this modified draft permit.  We commend and thank you for this action.  

Sincerely,

DOE’s storage of nuclear legacy waste is unsafe and a danger to residents of NM ( me). DOE needs to adhere to the  proposed permit regulations .  Being stored outside under tent in a fire area is illegal and a threat our safety. Thank you for noting ...↓my comments

You know and I now that there is dangerous nuclear waste close enough to Santa Fe to injure us all. But somehow this is still not in safe, secure storage.

Please make this nuclear waste safe for us. Please protect all of us here in Santa Fe.

I am writing to oppose New Mexico Environment Department's proposed permit that would establish mandatory shipment limits from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) before shipments from other cleanup sites can cont...↓inue to be received at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). 

WIPP is a critical part of our nation’s infrastructure. It plays an essential role in safely managing nuclear waste from cleanup sites across the United States while supporting thousands of good-paying union jobs, local businesses, and communities that depend on stable operations at nuclear facilities and cleanup sites. 

The proposed shipment limits would create serious risks and disruptions far beyond New Mexico. Based on the historically low number of shipments received from LANL, the mandatory thresholds outlined in this proposal would be nearly impossible to meet. As a result, shipments from other cleanup sites could effectively be halted, which would slow or cease operations at WIPP itself.

Working people should not bear the consequences of decisions that weaken safety, threaten jobs, and destabilize critical systems that communities across the country rely upon. WIPP’s ability to safely and consistently receive waste from cleanup sites nationwide is essential to maintaining responsible operations and protecting workers, communities, and the environment.

WIPP Agency-Initiated Modification Draft Permit (AIM)

I am submitting my comments in support of the New Mexico Environment Department's modification of the Department of Energy WIPP Permit to clarify priority for the emplacement of legacy waste from L...↓os Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), thereby reducing public health and safety risks posed by on-site storage of Cold War legacy waste and DOE's expanded pit production in New Mexico. 

Since 2023, NMED has insisted that DOE's Plan adhere to WIPP's original mission of providing permanent storage for all LANL legacy waste generated before 1999. Expedited removal of legacy waste will support LANL's capacity to safely carry out future expanded plutonium pit production and should not be superseded by DOE's rush to promote new pit production before the safety of LANL's pit production and WIPP facilities have been secured. 

The Department of Energy is falling short on the planning leg of its endeavors by failing to lay the infrastructure and groundwork for expanded plutonium pit production at both LANL and at WIPP.

DOE's haste to expand pit production before the new facilities have been constructed only increases the risk of a nuclear or hazmat accident on LANL premises. Groundbreaking for new buildings and infrastructure on a site littered with legacy waste pits, waste shafts, waste trenches and temporary above-ground waste storage areas demonstrates a lack of long-term strategic planning. 

WIPP is also in “substandard or inadequate condition,” according to a 2025 report from the GAO. DOE originally estimated WIPP would stop accepting waste in 2023. Now DOE expects to continue transuranic waste disposal activities at WIPP until the early 2080s, sixty years longer than originally planned. 

Mispackaged transuranic waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory burst in a salt cavern at WIPP in 2014, resulting in a radiation leak that led to a nearly three-year shutdown and a $2 billion cleanup effort.

Currently, more than $37 million is needed to address WIPP’s outdated infrastructure and much work remains to be done, according to the GAO report.

“Accurate data and clear long-term management plans would help DOE plan, prioritize, and fund critical maintenance for WIPP’s infrastructure and reduce costly emergency refurbishment of assets critical to nuclear waste disposal,” the report states. 

But DOE has failed to secure adequate funding to clean up legacy waste at both facilities, just when it is most needed. The Trump administration's proposed LANL budget for the coming fiscal year includes an 83% increase in funding for plutonium pit production but just a 5.7% increase for cleanup.

Modification of DOE's WIPP permit to include clear timelines for the removal of legacy waste from LANL are overdue. DOE has shipped about 5 times more waste from the Idaho National Lab to WIPP than from LANL. 

NMED's proposed permit revisions will require DOE to more clearly define legacy waste, along with "objective metrics for LANL legacy waste cleanup" to ensure that LANL legacy waste accounts for at least 55% of total disposal volume at WIPP from 2027 through 2031.

The presence of extremely ultra-hazardous materials like plutonium on Lab premises necessitates the utmost care in all respects. All legacy waste at the LANL should have been removed to WIPP long ago to prepare for expanded plutonium pit production, an extremely dangerous new undertaking. 

New Mexicans won’t feel safe until all the drums at Area G are emplaced in WIPP by July 1, 2028, or earlier.

Legacy waste stored in unlined trenches at the Lab or in canvas tents outside the proposed production buildings could lead to a criticality during a wildfire or other extreme weather event. Even an electrical fire sparked by lightning and fueled by electric lines and dry tinder in the Caja del Rio could have a domino effect that precipitates a catastrophic disaster of mass proportions for the entire state of New Mexico and beyond. 

I support the imposition of sanctions if DOE fails to move this waste by a set date, including suspension of the permit. Not allowing DOE to ship waste other than LANL legacy waste until this milestone is reached is appropriate and necessary to safeguard New Mexico’s environment and our public health.  

New Mexico has sacrificed the lives of several generations and sacred landscapes that encompass our air, soil and groundwater long enough. It's time for DOE to act responsibly and with the utmost care at LANL and at WIPP.  We will not consent to sacrifice our environment for children and grandchildren's future.

This permit modification is needed to protect New Mexico now and in the foreseeable future.

Thank you for your careful consideration of my comments in support of agency-initiated modifications to DOE’s WIPP permit

It is imperative that safe storage of nuclear waste be the top.priority of this nuclear industry. With all the brilliance sitting in Los Alamos, they MUST solve this issue FIRST! 

Also, with this brilliance settled in Los Alamos, they can and MUST inv...↓ent, create and utilize their own power sources! It is not fair or wise that this huge power need in Los Alamos be siphoning off our power and water in Santa Fe.  Los Alamos can create its own solar/ wind in its.own territory.

Finally, we must end the manufacture of nuclear bombs and, instead, focus our resources of human ingenuity and invention to green energy sources and safe disposal.of nuclear waste, thus ending the nuclear era. 

Thank you,
