Jason Groenwald sent an email describing today’s Envirocare Hearing on expanding Envirocare’s waste acceptance amounts. The legislature did table the expansion resolution.
Jason reports that “Governor Huntsman’s top executive at the Department of Environmental Quality, Dianne Nielson, voted to deny HEAL Utah standing in our legal appeal of the Envirocare expansion because she said doubling nuclear waste disposal capacity in Utah is not an issue of significant public importance. For anyone who wondered what kind of influence the Governor’s brother-in-law would have as one of the new financial investors in Envirocare, you now have the answer.”
The fight continues. To get involved, go to HEAL Utah
