{{#Wiki_filter:I AUG 2 71985 Memorandum For: File From: Dean M. Kunihiro, Regional State Liaison Officer
Subject:
Trip Report: NV Legislative Committee on HLW Hearing, August 20, 1985, Las Vegas, NV On August 20, 1985 I attended a hearing conducted by the Nevada Legislative Committee on High-Level Radioactive Waste. Attached are: 1) a list of committee members, 2) biographical sketches of committee members,
- 3) a list of individuals or represented jurisdictions that testified before the committee.
The most significant areas of concern to the committee dealt with the extent of state participation in the repository siting process, and transportation related issues. The State of Nevada currently has a suit before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The suit concerns the degree of state participation permitted by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. Testimony from representatives of local jurisdictions highlighted concern over the apparent disregard, in DOE's environmental assessment, for the impacts the repository may have on local communities. In view of the openly anti-repository position taken by Governor Bryan, the absence of any hostility, or harse criticism was particularly noteworthy. As a result, the hearing served to permit useful dialogue among federal, state, and local officials. Federal participants, especially DOE, undoubtedly left with a greater appreciation of State and local concerns. h 0 ( h'[ l Deaq MhKunihiro ' Regional State Liaison Officer
