A big thank you to those of you who sent comments in response to our recent action alert regarding LANL's request for "Alternative Compliance." Earlier today and over the next few days we are sending out additional action alert requests regarding discharge permits for LANL and the Chevron mine in Questa. Please take the ten minutes necessary to send in comments - the number of comments that the regulators receive makes a
huge difference.
