~
As you know we are intervenors.in the Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project proceedings.
The Draft EIS is seriously flawed in scope and content.
It fails to recognize the existence of the Yakima Indian Nation, with its Sovereign concerns for the Health, Lands, Water.and Environment of the Yakima People.
Not one of.the significant adverse impacts to our Nation and People has..been addressed.
~
The Yakima Reservation lies 13 miles from Hanford.
Hanford is on Yakima Nation Ceded Lands in which the Yakimas retained certain Inalienable Rights when they were Ceded over to the Fed.eral Government in the Treaty of 1855.
~
This letter may not be used as a " Comment" in your l
EIS proceedings.
~s, i-Please address us formally in writing how you intend to become aware of and address those adverse impacts which your projects will have on our Nation and our People.
Sincerely, wwdf f '
