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.

I strongly support the needed permit modifications that the New Mexico Environment Department has submitted. 


NMED was forced to take this remedial action because the Department of Energy has not addressed the serious health and safet...


Although DOE agreed to prioritize legacy waste at LANL, its record of poor stewardship has led NMED to take action. The permit modifications provide DOE clear instructions to fulfill its obligations. They allow NMED to measure and monitor DOE's progress. NMED has also established a penalty if DOE fails to deliver on its obligations.  


The legacy waste is stored in drums sitting in tents on a mesa in a known wildfire zone. We have already witnessed devastating fires in the area, some of which have invaded LANL property. Given the changing climate and unpredictable weather patterns, a wildfire could happen at any time. The next blaze could create an unprecedented disaster that would cause irreparable damage. 


A nuclear release in a wildfire means vaporized plutonium would spread, a disaster impossible to clean up. Homes, schools, businesses, farms, ranches, recreational sites - our environment ruined. New Mexico's land, property, economy, and physical health destroyed. 


The prospect of a disaster is real and can be avoided if the waste is moved to WIPP. NMED is taking the necessary steps with the permit modifications to address this threat before disaster strikes. 


I applaud NMED for their courage in taking this action. The NMED permit modifications is a wake-up call that puts DOE on notice and underscores the importance of holding DOE accountable. DOE should seize this opportunity and do the right thing. Support the needed modifications to the permit and prevent a disaster.

The LANL legacy waste has to be moved now, before the next wildfire. DOE must take its
responsibilities seriously and put New Mexico's safety before any other missions.

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.

I don't feel safe unless all the drums at Area G are moved to a safer place.  I have lived in Santa Fe almost 50 years and I know how often fires occur.



DOE is a federal agency that doesn’t care about the health and property of New Mexicans.  There ne...



I understand  that there are 2500 drums of old waste that the modified permit will ship to WIPP by July 1,2028.

 Supporting details if you wish to add one of them:

•      DOE can only be allowed to make nuclear weapons and waste in New Mexico, if it takes the safety of New Mexico seriously. 

•      NMED’s modification will force DOE to do what’s its legally responsible for doing.

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

•       A wildfire can occur at any time between now and then; getting the legacy waste in WIPP now is essential.

•      We completely support NMED’s sanction if DOE fails to move this waste by a set date. Not allowing DOE to ship waste other than LANL legacy waste until it catches up is appropriate and needed.

•      NMED’s modification is just common sense. DOE can only oppose it if it cares nothing for the health and property of New Mexicans. 

•      If DOE opposes the permit modification, it should not be able to operate such dangerous facilities in New Mexico. 

•      The penalty if DOE fails to accomplish the modification is important because DOE has shown it will ignore its agreement with New Mexico if it isn’t held accountable. 

•      The permit modification is necessary because DOE has shown itself to be a dishonest partner unless forced to comply with the agreements it’s made.   


With urgency, 

Jennifer Martin

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 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.

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 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.
