Important! Please sign onto this letter by December 5 asking Governor-elect
Gray Davis to stop the proposed Ward Valley nuclear waste dump. We expect to
get over 200 signatories. Please reply to swv1@ctaz.com and forward to other
groups. Thank you for your support.
Dear Governor-Elect Davis:
We are a broad coalition of Sovereign Tribal Governments, environmental and
social justice groups, indigenous environmental networks, international
non-governmental organizations, cancer survivors, scientists, physicians,
and other concerned citizens all opposed to the proposed nuclear waste dump
at Ward Valley.
This project has plagued the Wilson administration for the last eight years
and has attracted growing public opposition. The Spring 1998 occupation of
the site by Native Americans and environmental activists coupled with the
analysis by state Democratic leaders concluding that the proposed method of
land acquisition violates state law, has indefinitely delayed the federal
review of the project.
The dump threatens contamination of area aquifers and the Colorado River,
source of water for over 22 million people. It would destroy critical
habitat for the threatened desert tortoise and desecrate sacred ancestral
land for five Native American tribes.
Economic analyses of the proposed project have concluded that the dump would
be financially unviable. The 1998 Congressional Research Service report
found that the vast majority of waste slated for Ward Valley would come from
nuclear power plants. The National Environmental Justice Advisory Council
(NEJAC) of the Environmental Protection Agency resolved that the dump
project would violate environmental justice mandates and recommended that
EPA act to end the project.
We strongly urge you to stop this ill-fated project once and for all.
Withdraw the state of California's request for the land and cease the
state's legal actions regarding Ward Valley. Protect our precious water
resources, uphold environmental justice, and ensure that the California
taxpayer would not be burdened with the astronomical clean-up costs of a
leaking dump.
Signed,
