TOWN OF AURORA 5 South Grove Street, East Aurora, NY 14052 www.townofaurora.com June 4, 2009 US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chad Glenn, Project Manager NRC MS T-7-F27 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville MD 20852
Dear Mr. Glenn:
The Town of Aurora (Erie County) Planning Board has become aware that the U.S. Department of Energy and NYS Energy Research & Development Authority are proposing to leave buried waste on-site including high level radioactive waste tanks, even when subject tanks are at the end of their useful safe storage life and could leak contamination at any time. These agencies are delaying the final cleanup decisions for up to 30 years. Radioactive wastes reputedly do not diminish in concentration, migrating through the ground, essentially are time dependent for diminishing the health hazard.
Based on the above information, the Town of Aurora Planning Board passed a motion to remove all buried wastes from the West Valley Site.
