Sign the Petition – Keep Nuclear Waste Out of Our Aquifer!
Join us in the fight against the nuclear waste dump that threatens the Ogallala Aquifer, the United State’s largest freshwater aquifer. Public Citizen Texas, the Sierra Club and other community advocacy groups need your support to reverse the decision made by the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission in January, to allow other states to transport their nuclear waste into Andrews County.
Send it to your Friends or local grassroots organization!
What are we doing to help?
“Public Citizen filed a lawsuit alleging “irregularities” with the commission’s decision-making process, including a failure to adequately consider more than 6,000 public comments on the issue. Along with the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club, the group has also lobbied the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to use its powers under the Atomic Energy Act to investigate TCEQs actions on the issue and determine whether to revoke its regulatory authority over low-level nuclear waste.”

Remember this nuclear waste site does not only impact the citizens of Andrews County and the eight states within the Ogallala Aquifer, but everyone who lives around and along the highways, in major and minor cities. A traffic accident could lead to the next nuclear spill or national security breech. Ask yourself, what preparations have been made to assure your safety?
