The Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study <br /> for <br /> Pit 7 (called the <br /> RI/FS) will be a major topic at this public <br /> meeting. <br /> The RI/FS document <br /> should be made to adequately characterize the site <br /> and <br /> present options <br /> for <br /> cleaning it up. <br /> Major issues at the Pit 7 Complex yet to be <br /> resolved <br /> include: <br /> * Will the tritium plumes be allowed to expand? <br /> What <br /> steps can be taken <br /> to <br /> halt them? <br /> * To what extent will computer modeling be relied <br /> on <br /> in view of the <br /> complex <br /> geology and hydrology of site 300? <br /> * What level of cleanup will be negotiated? <br /> * How will the influx of money and expanded <br /> weapons <br /> work at site 300 <br /> impact <br /> the environment, employee health, and Tracy's <br /> drinking <br /> and irrigation <br /> water? <br /> The March meeting will review the Pit 7 Complex <br /> RI/FS <br /> that is required <br /> by <br /> the Superfund Cleanup Act. Although DOE <br /> previously <br /> prepared draft plans <br /> for <br /> this area, after many halts and starts, it decided <br /> to <br /> go back to the <br /> drawing board to study the area anew. Site 300 <br /> near <br /> Tracy, like the <br /> main <br /> site in Livermore, is a Superfund cleanup site, <br /> meaning that it is one <br /> of <br /> the most contaminated locations in our nation. <br /> Give us a call at Tri-Valley CAREs to get more <br /> information or to obtain <br /> a <br /> copy of our talking points for this March 18 <br /> public <br /> workshop. See you <br /> there! <br /> 4 <br />
