TCEQ has no problem with radioactive waste... NEAR GROUNDWATER!!!!!

Here's a little background from the last time I wrote about it. Before you read this next, there will be a PUBLIC COMMENT period about this (not for here but Andrews County). If you live there and you CARE about having radioactive waste near your water supply, you should not only show up but be very active and visible in speaking against it. Because it looks like TCEQ, which stands for Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, will NOT protect you.

The head of the state's environmental agency could recommend licensing a radioactive waste dump despite an agency report that indicates the West Texas site is too close to a groundwater supply, a newspaper reported Wednesday. 

Two geologists and two engineers for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality recommended turning down the proposed location in Andrews County, the San Antonio Express-News reported.

Waste Control Specialists is seeking two licenses to store low-level radioactive material in the tiny county on the New Mexico border northwest of Midland.

P.S. What's astonishing, when you read the article, is that, internally, TCEQ KNOWS that the radioactive waste will damage the water supply.. but they're going to approve it anyway!!!! Stop them!
