Fellow citizens,
Another serious traffic accident on N.M. 502/Main Hill Road on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. The cause: too many vehicles traveling at too high speed.
There is one more day to comment on the DOE draft Sitewide Environmental Impact Statement for LANL. The draft EIS covers transportation as an impact of LANL operations.
You can comment on the draft EIS though 5 p.m. April 10, 2025, and ask DOE to take more aggressive actions to reduce the number of vehicles on our roads and to reduce the speeds of these vehicles.
The full EIS can be found at https://www.energy.gov/nepa/articles/doeeis-0552-draft-environmental-impact-statement Read More
