[CPEO-MEF] MUNITIONS: "Army sticks to public comment period of only ONE DAY at Holston Army Ammunition Plant, TN"

Subject: Army sticks to public comment period of only ONE DAY at Holston Army Ammunition Plant, TN

TO: Advocates for Environmental Justice,

The Army has denied our request for more than ONE DAY to respond to an upcoming public presentation on a proposed detonation chamber for hazardous waste at Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Tennessee. We believe this sets a terrible precedent for impacted communities everywhere.  

The Army's letter is attached as a .pdf file, and our request to Army is below.  

You may help by posting and sharing this message.

Dear Ms. Cole,

 

I understand that the U.S. Army will be hosting pre-application public meeting July 27 concerning a Static Detonation Chamber for the management of hazardous waste at Holston Army Ammunition Plant, per the attached.

 

The instructions state that the Army is allowing the public only ONE DAY to submit questions and comments in response to information presented at the meeting.  This sets a terrible precedent for impacted communities everywhere, including my own which has been widely contaminated by explosives, solvents and other toxics emanating from Badger Army Ammunition Plant here in Wisconsin.

 

We ask for minimum of 30 days for public comment and questions following the upcoming pre-application meeting.

 

Sincerely,

 

Laura Olah, CSWAB.org
