Governor Davis Appoints Task Force Biased Toward the Nuclear Industry to
Determine the Fate of the Proposed Ward Valley Nuclear Waste Dump
In a disturbing turnabout, Governor Gray Davis has revived the proposal for
a dangerous radioactive waste dump at Ward Valley. Davis has assembled a
Task Force composed predominantly of nuclear waste generators to address
the nuclear waste disposal in California. Ward Valley dump proponents
outnumber representatives of environmental groups and Native American
tribes by three to one. Key experts on radioactive waste have been
purposely excluded. After assurances to the contrary, the Task Force has
plans to revive the Ward Valley dump proposal to bury long-lived and highly
dangerous radioactive wastes in shallow, unlined trenches, above an
aquifer, twenty miles from the Colorado River, drinking water for 22
million people, in critical habitat for an endangered species and on sacred
Indian lands.
COME TO THE FIRST MEETING OF THE TASK FORCE,
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17 at the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA at LOS ANGELES at
the ANDERSON SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT AUDITORIUM, BUILDING B, ROOM 209 (take
Sunset Boulevard to Hillgard (south) to West Holme (go right) and park at
the kiosk).
9:00 am Protest Rally
10:00 am to 12:00 noon Meeting
Sign-up to speak against the biased panel and revived plans for a nuclear
waste dump at Ward Valley by calling (310) 473-7704 or sign-up at the
meeting. The Task Force plans to allow only a half hour for public
comment.
CONTACT GOVERNOR DAVIS TODAY!
State Capitol Building, Sacramento, California 95814
Write and telephone today!
(916) 445-2841 * Fax (916) 445-4633.
Tell the governor that the Task Force is unbalanced and lacks credibility.
Tell him to take the Ward Valley dump off the agenda and seek a responsible
policy on radioactive waste containment, source reduction and renewable
energy. Respect Native American rights!
