[CPEO-MEF] DOE draft long-term enviro stewardship study

[marylia@earthlink.net]

dear peace and environmental advocates,

You are invited to a "stakeholder forum" hosted by the Department of Energy
during the public comment period on doe's draft long-term stewardship
study. many of you will recall the multi-year lawsuit brought by 39
plaintiff organizations across the country on both doe cleanup and weapons
activities. some of you were plaintiffs.  this study is one of the outcomes
of that lawsuit.

the stakeholder forum* will be held in san francisco on thursday, december
14, 6 pm at the argent hotel, 50 third street. to get a copy of the draft
study from the web, go to www.em.doe.gov/lts. or, call doe at
1-800-736-3282. if you have trouble getting a copy, call us at tri-valley
cares 1-925-443-7148. please note that the doe letter also details a
washington, dc public hearing and ways to coment by mail. all manner of
comments will count.

this study looks at what happens when sites are so polluted there will be
contamination for many, many, many, many decades. what is the interface
between long-term stewardship and active cleanup? how will long-lived
radioactive and chemical wastes be kept from continuing to migrate through
the environment. etc., etc., etc.

these are important questions for communities and the nation. please speak
up on this. thanks. --marylia
