Los Alamos Warns the West Mesa: Stop the Next Perchlorate and Chromium Crisis

Description

For over 25 years, Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS) has fought to

protect surface and groundwater from radioactive, toxic and hazardous contamination

from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). In 2004, that campaign expanded to

contain the co-located perchlorate and chromium plume – contamination that migrated

into the top of the 1,000 foot deep aquifer below LANL, Pueblo de San Ildefonso and

the Española Basin Sole Source Drinking Water Aquifer. Despite federal assurances

and repeated promises of a solution, the plume remains unresolved.
