Mr. Ricardo Maestas
New Mexico Environment Department
2905 Rodeo Park Drive East, Building 1
Santa Fe, NM 87505
RE: WIPP "Volume Reduction" PMR
Dear Mr. Maestas:
The undersigned groups, representing thousands of New Mexicans, strongly oppose the
"Volume Reduction" Permit Modification Request (PMR) that the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
(WIPP) permittees submitted to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) on
January 31, 2018.
While there are many problems with the request, there are two overriding reasons that NMED
must either deny the request or determine to follow class 3 modification procedures, so that
additional public comment is allowed and a public hearing would be held on a draft permit.
First, the permittees - U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Nuclear Waste Partnership
were told by numerous organizations before submitting the request, that the very substantial
changes in the WIPP Permit are strongly opposed and there is significant public concern. By
regulatory definition, such a request is a Class 3 modification. Nonetheless, the permittees
submitted the request as a Class 2 modification. State regulations 20.4.1.900 NMAC
(incorporating 40 CFR §270.42(b)(6)(i)(B) and (C)) provide that the NMED must deny the
request or determine that the procedures for Class 3 modifications apply. Thus, NMED must
take one of those two actions.
Second, the request seeks to very significantly change the way the volume of waste at WIPP is
measured in order to substantially increase the facility's capacity. Since before WIPP opened
in 1999, the waste volume is measured by the size of the outer container. That measurement
has always been included in the WIPP Permit, and it is that way that DOE has reported to
Congress how much waste is disposed at WIPP. The proposed new measurement of the
volume of waste inside a container results in "reducing" the amount of waste in WIPP by more
than 930,000 cubic feet. The effect would be to immediately increase WIPP's capacity by that
amount. Such an expansion of WIPP's capacity is a clear attempt to circumvent the WIPP Land
Withdrawal Act capacity limit of 6,200,000 cubic feet. Section 7(a)(3). Such a major change is
unacceptable, apparently contrary to law, and the PMR should be denied.
We ask you to deny the request or determine to consider it under Class 3 modification
procedures.

Janet Greenwald Joni Arends

Dear Mr. Maestas:
I am very concerned about the proposed expansion of the amount of waste in the Waste Isolation
Pilot Plant - a proposed 28% increase - all by changing the way waste is measured.
The proposed increase of 930,000 cubic feet requires the New Mexico Environment
Department to deny the request and require the Department of Energy and its contractor, Nuclear
Waste Partnership, to resubmit their request as a Class 3 permit modification request. This is a
significant volumetric change requiring more scrutiny by the public and
the Environment Department. Alternatively, the Environment Department must determine that the
request will follow Class 3 permit modification request procE!dures.
Over its 19 years of operations, DOE has shipped many empty (dunnage) drums, has not filled
containers to capacity, yet the contractors have been paid fully- and in some cases with bonuses.
To allow the proposed change, risks the health and environment for all New Mexicans.
Thank you for your careful consideration of my comments. Please use your regulatory power
to deny the request or require the Class 3 permit modification request procedures, which include an
opportunity for a public hearing as well as the opportunity to cross-examine sworn witnesses
Sincerely,
Margaret Forrest

Dear Mr.Maestas,
I ask the New Mexico Environment Department to deny the 'volume reduction' permit modification
request.
This permit modification would increase WIPP's capacity by 25%.
This is a big change for WIPP and at the very least requires a public hearing.
Sincerely,
