HOLTEC STILL PLANS TO DUMP OVER A MILLION GALLONS OF RADIOACTIVE WATER INTO CAPE COD BAY DESPITE OVERWHELMING PUBLIC OPPOSITION AND THE FACT THAT DUMPING IS ILLEGAL!

COME TO THE NOVEMBER 28 NDCAP MEETING
TO STAND UP AND SAY NO WAY! NOT IN OUR BAY!

The Environmental Protection Agency has informed Holtec that dumping spent fuel pool and decommissioning water is not allowed and that Holtec must apply for a new National Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) permit which could take 12 months to process.

Holtec disavows the EPA authority and plans to illegally dump into our bay.

At the November 28 NDCAP, Holtec will present a slide presentation of their "water sampling" to try and convince the public that dumping is ok, that the water is safer than what is in the bay now. NOT TRUE!

EPA recently commented on Holtec's submitted water analysis and confirmed:

"The water sampling is for information only
and is not tied to any regulatory action
including a potentially new or modified NPDES permit."

IT'S A BIG RED HERRING!
It's ILLEGAL!
NO WAY! NOT IN OUR BAY! NOT ONE DROP!
Senator Markey, Senator Warren, Rep. Keating call on Holtec to comply with EPA
“To provide clarity to our offices, local residents, and the many businesses and organizations that rely on Cape Cod Bay’s reputation for clean and safe water, we ask that Holtec confirm publicly as soon as possible that it will not discharge any Pilgrim wastewater without first obtaining the EPA’s authorization and the necessary permit modification.” Has Holtec done so? NO!
Governor Baker line item veto on economic and environmental wastewater study
SOBMA Ben Cronin reports on the Baker veto. "In a move that has left even fellow Massachusetts Republicans livid, Gov. Charles D. Baker applied a line-item veto to Section 251 of the long-delayed Economic Development Bill, jettisoning the amendment — brought by Sen. Su Moran (D-Falmouth), and supported by the entire local, bipartisan legislative delegation — which would have instituted a two-year moratorium on any dumping of radioactive wastewater into Cape Cod Bay ahead of the report of a Commission tasked with reporting on the economic and environmental consequences of discharging radioactive wastewater."

SOBMA Diane Turco writes in the Cape Cod Times:
"Just like the past tobacco campaigns proclaimed, “Go have a smoke. It’s good for you,” Holtec eviscerated established science and dismissed real radiological harms in order to cover their illegal plan. The irreparable damage to our local economies, public health, and marine environment is real and should cause alarm." .....
