WIPP Agency-Initiated Modification Draft Permit

New Mexico Environment Department ,

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 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.

First off I am a resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

I 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. 

A wildfir...↓e can occur at any time between now and then; getting the legacy waste in WIPP now is essential!  

Storing nuclear waste as it has been so far is 1) ...unacceptable at LANL and 2) ….should NOT be allowed due to fire risk in this very dry area of New Mexico.  It endangers residents in this area and will for ever and ever as the 1/2 life of nuclear waste is 100,000 years!

There are other locations that would be far more acceptable, but this dangerous nuclear waste, which is stored so irresponsibly, cannot continue in Los Alamos!

Hello, I very much support the New Mexico Environment Department's recent modification of the DOE WIPP permit, which requires that all the legacy waste in 2,500 drums in tents at LANL must be transported to WIPP by July 1, 2028.  I commend the NMED f...↓or this permit modification, which tells the DOE that they must take New Mexico residents' safety and health seriously.  DOE is already legally responsible for this, but they have not been demonstrating this.  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 is not held accountable. 

Thank you

I fully support NMED’s modification of the WIPP permit, NMED Agency Initiated Modification or AIM. 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 an...↓y other missions.  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.

Dear Sirs,

I am deeply concerned about the legacy waste stored at LANL.  This is a vulnerable fire area and a wildfire reaching the waste could send particles of radioactive waste into the air seriously compromising a very large area in northern New M...↓exico.  This material has to be removed and transported to a safer storage site, WIPP, quickly as this is forecast to be a serious year for forest fire activity.

continued support of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant’s (WIPP) critical mission, and to express 

concern over the New Mexico Environment Department’s (NMED) planned action to modify WIPP’s 

Hazardous Waste Permit (Permit), potentially restricting shipments to WIPP vital to environmental 

cleanup at sites around the country and the operations of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). ¹

As the most impacted community, along with Santa Fe County, Carlsbad, Artesia, Eddy County, Lea 

County and others, I believe that the last permit by NMED modified less than two (2) years ago 

addressed the key issues and prioritized legacy waste while ensuring that WIPP could operate 

efficiently. The 2024 permit seems to be working well and was touted by NMED as “successful 

negotiations”² and “a Legacy

TRU Waste Disposal Plan” was introduced into the permit to define the term “legacy waste” and to 

work with generator/storage sites and stakeholders to accurately inventory this waste once defined. 

In addition, Panel 12 will be reserved for legacy waste to the extent practicable.

WIPP is the nation’s only deep geologic repository for defense-related TRU waste, making it the 

linchpin for all cleanup efforts across the entire EM complex. Its

continued operation and accessibility to sites across the nation are critical. The facility’s 

mission is crucial, its success is a matter of record, and its continued operation – in alignment 

with the original submission – is essential to our nation’s ability to move forward with cleaning 

up every site across the complex and fulfilling the legal and moral obligations to the nation’s 

frontline cleanup communities, including Los Alamos. The

WIPP facility has assisted in the remediation of 22 DOE sites of legacy TRU waste since operations 

began.

For decades, Los Alamos County has lobbied for adequate funding to Los Alamos DOE-EM for Legacy TRU 

Waste clean-up and remediation, and the future funding should be increased. It is important to 

prioritize and accelerate shipping TRU waste from LANL to WIPP. However, allowing shipments from 

Idaho, Washington, Nevada, California, Tennessee, South Carolina, Illinois and other sites also 

remain critical. Modifications restricting WIPP’s ability to accept shipments from across the EM 

complex could weaken WIPP’s operations and threaten jobs at WIPP. Reducing shipments to WIPP could 

have a negative impact on the WIPP facility, potentially impacting the jobs of fellow New Mexicans 

and

disrupting WIPP’s operations, to the detriment of all EM sites and their neighboring communities, 

including the County.

The current permit is new (2024) and adequately addresses the prioritization of legacy waste across 

the country and in Los Alamos. As hosts of the WIPP site, the State of New Mexico, the County, and 

the communities who neighbor WIPP are serving our country by helping to address national 

environmental cleanup and security concerns. The County requests that NMED continue to work under 

the current permit for WIPP.

We look forward to a continued productive conversation, and we appreciate your recent meetings with 

the County to discuss these important issues. If you have any questions, please contact me at

Randall Ryti Council Chair
