Investigation into Santa Susana field hit by Woolsey Fire

Santa Susana field hit by Woolsey Fire, toxins from woolsey fire santa susana, Woolsey fire santa susana field laboratory fire

FROM BEYOND NUCLEAR — The Woolsey swept through the contaminated Santa Susana Field Laboratory site (SSFL)  just north of Los Angeles. There is some evidence that it actually started on the site. Work begins to assess whether or not radionuclides from this cold war research site were carried with the fire as it devastated 150,000 acres.

People in areas surrounding the contaminated Santa Susanna Field Laboratory site (SSFL) are worried that chemical and radioactive pollution may have been carried offsite by fire currents and smoke.

During the fire, the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) did not warn the public and fire fighters that smoke from the fire could be carrying radioactive particles from the site. The DTSC “believed” there was no danger but refused to make public the methods used, and results of, any testing they have done. Now the public is seeking the truth from more trustworthy sources.

Fairewinds Energy Education has released sampling protocols (download here) for collecting environmental specimens within 100 miles of SSFL and/or the Woolsey fire and its smoke. These specimens will be analyzed for radionuclide content. Instructions for collecting, cataloging and shipping specimens are included as well as how to get additional information or answers to your sampling questions. Read More at Beyond Nuclear

H.R. 3053 – Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017

H.R. 3053, stop trucks from driving nuclear waste through your city, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017

THIS JUST IN —

Nuclear Waste legislation, if enacted could pave way for irradiated nuclear fuel shipments to move through most states, many major cities and most U.S. Congressional Districts.
Despite a 50-group environmental coalition in opposition, H.R. 3053, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017, as amended, passed the U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee by a vote of 49 to 4. All Republican members, and all but four Democrats (Schakowsky of IL, Ben Lujan of NM, Loebsack of IA, and Engel of NY) who were present, voted in favor of reviving the cancelled Yucca Mountain, NV high-level radioactive waste dump, and legalizing private de facto permanent parking lot dumps, targeted at TX and NM.

If enacted, the legislation could pave the way for unprecedented numbers of irradiated nuclear fuel truck and trains, as well as barge shipments to begin moving in just a few years, through most states, many major cities, and most U.S. congressional districts.

Urge your U.S. Rep. to block it – You can look up your U.S. Rep.’s full contact info at the house.gov website, by typing in your Zip code in the upper right, clicking Go, and follow the internet links.

Former nuclear and rocket engine testing facility still contaminating area of Simi Valley and surrounding areas

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
FROM — Santa Susana Field Laboratory Work Group

The Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL), also known as Rocketdyne, is a former nuclear and rocket engine testing facility that is contaminated with radiological and chemical pollutants. The 2,850 acre site is near Simi Valley, Chatsworth, Canoga Park, Woodland Hills, West Hills, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Oak Park, Calabasas, and Thousand Oaks.

Tens of thousands of rocket tests were conducted at SSFL, resulting in significant chemical contamination. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of trichloroethylene (TCE) were used to flush out rocket test engines and then allowed to seep into the soil and groundwater. The site is also contaminated with perchlorate, dioxins, heavy metals, and volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds that can cause harm to human health.

More information: http://www.ssflworkgroup.org/about-ssfl/

NEXT SSFL WORK GROUP MEETING
Wednesday, March 8, 6:30 p.m.
Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center
3050 E. Los Angeles Avenue, Simi Valley, CA 93065

The Department of Energy (DOE) recently released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the SSFL cleanup in which every option proposed would breach the legally binding cleanup agreement it signed in 2010 to clean up all contamination at SSFL. DOE now proposes instead to leave between 39% and 99% of the contamination not cleaned up. DOE hearings this week demonstrated public anger at DOE proposing to break its cleanup commitments, but much more is needed to ensure that DOE will uphold its SSFL cleanup commitments.

Just in: Today the CEC is coming to Oxnard to give a status update on the NRG power plant.

California Energy Commission oxnard power plant, CEC Oxnard september 27, NRG power plant meeting oxnard

Today the CEC is coming to Oxnard to give a status update on the NRG power plant. It is happening now!  

The meeting started at 3pm at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center for those who are available and interested, but public comment will start at 5:15!

Location: http://www.oxnardperformingarts.com/about.html

‪https://causenow.org/‬

‪https://causenow.org/article/fighting-power-plants-oxnard‬

The California Energy Commission will be coming to Oxnard today the 27th to give a status update on their decision making process for the NRG power plant!

As you may know, a couple weeks ago the California Coastal Commission voted against  the power plant, which gives us more momentum since the hearing this summer.  We need to build on that momentum by pushing the CEC to follow the lead of the coastal commission and recognize the unfair pollution impacts on Oxnard and the dangers of putting a power plant on the coast.

There will be opportunity for public comment beginning around 5:15pm!

Email CPUC today: “There must be no new power plants on Oxnard Beaches.”

bullying and abuse by Southern California Edison, environmental review at the CEC, STOP nuclear power plant oxnard

POSTED FROM — http://vcclimatehub.weebly.com/get-involved.html

eacd7b82-62b0-40cd-b8ec-42e608a256b5On March 17, 2016, The CPUC commissioners will vote on whether or not to pause the proceedings pending a full environmental review at the CEC.  Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez urges all of us to tell the PUC to tell SCE “to go back to the drawing board and do a new request for offer, which would insure that renewable energy proposals would be considered. Reliability, sea level rise and environmental justice concerns demand that any new energy source be located elsewhere for all of these reasons and more. “

“Oxnard has been subjected to bullying and abuse by Southern California Edison, the Investor Owned Utility that distributes electricity and the energy producer, NRG which owns the two power plants about to be shut down, facilities that have marred our coast for more than 50 years.”

It does not matter where you live. This beach and this climate belong to all of us. The waste and unnecessary pollution affects everyone. Environmental justice is important for everyone.

Reference: Application of SCE  to  Approve  Fourth Power Plant  in Oxnard #14-11-016
        
E-mail: public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov

Here are some legal points:
· While the CEC—as the lead CEQA agency—has a large role to play in the consideration of environmental issues, the CPUC also has a mandate to consider environmental issues in the Public Utilities Code.

· Public Utilities Code Section 451 states, in part, “every public utility shall furnish and maintain such adequate, efficient, just, and reasonable service, instrumentalities, equipment, and facilities, including telephone facilities, as defined in Section 54.1 of the Civil Code, as are necessary to promote the safety, health, comfort, and convenience of its patrons, employees, and the public.” This broad authority of the CPUC to promote the safety, health, and comfort of the public necessarily includes consideration of environmental justice issues.

· A CPUC decision from 2007 (D0712052) states that, “some criteria for which we believe the IOUs need to provide greater weight include disproportionate resource sitings in low income and minority communities, and environmental impacts/benefits.” For almost a decade, the CPUC has believed it should consider issues of environmental justice when making decisions and in 2013 the CPUC acknowledged that SCE remains bound by these requirements.

· Commissioner Peterman’s and Commissioner Florio’s APDs lack proper consideration of legislative mandate and CPUC historical precedent. The initial Proposed Decision by Administrative Law Judge Regina M. DeAngelis must be supported.

See DeAngelis decision here:http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Efile/G000/M157/K542/157542051.PDF
