An update: The BWXT zoning request will be postponed at BWXT's request until the February 25th meeting to give BWXT more time to reply to the list of questions.
This is happening in San Diego. We’re not giving up! We are going to preserve it for future generations. San Diego’s dirty little secrets where the kids are building sand castles and surfers and residents are coming down with unusual illnesses. Pods of dolphins with babies are living in this beautiful ocean area. The beaches are polluted from sewage coming from Mexico and aerating from the sea spray. That sewage mixes in with the bonfire ash and coals from toxic wood, mattresses and construction waste the public burns in the secluded dead end peninsula area where a donor dumped 11 fire pits in South Mission Beach Jetty Surf Park upwind air pollution is 110 pm2.5-198pm2.5 every night. It’s time to relocate all these fire pits downwind away from homes in a monitored area where the public will not be allowed to use them as Burn Pits, it’s very simple but the decision makers keep kicking the can down the road.
I’m speaking at CA Coastal and local meetings to stop 18 years of ocean and air pollution.They posted signs that it might get resolved, but I could really use help to push it through.
You've got the truth on your side, and that's your power.
Make it personal and impossible to ignore. Coastal Commission meetings can feel like talking to a wall, but there's power in numbers. Get everyone you can to show up. Bring sick family members, doctors, the surfers who can't surf without getting infections. Make the commissioners look those people in the eye.
Ask them: Why is this being "studied" instead of solved? When they say "we're looking into it," demand timelines and accountability. Get it in writing.
Don't let them wear you down with bureaucracy--that's the game. They count on you getting tired. Keep showing up, keep speaking, keep demanding answers.
I have the pleasure of knowing Anna/Diana personally and know the love they have for their home. I hope this added visibility puts added pressure on BWXT to do the right thing. As you said, a 7 year old "shouldn’t even know what high-purity depleted uranium is."
There have been "accidents" at the existing facility in the past and there is already depleted uranium buried right next to Little Limestone Creek. So yes, there are and have been issues with the existing facility.

I find it so interesting that this whole situation of going to a community forum is so difficult and very intimidating. I have been doing this now for almost a year to try to protect my drinking water as well as drinking water for all of our communities. These individuals who are pouring toxic chemicals into our drinking water admitted to doing so. But yeah, fall on The laurels of being a commission to help protect fish. I also have found that they admitted in a town meeting that they have been doing this since 1982 and have not told the community and have not protected them forewarned them of when the treatment was happening and have not provided notification or alternative water sources. I fought for months to get political figures both at the state and federal level to come to these meetings and many of them did come, but then you never hear from them again. Everyone acts astonished and amazed that chemicals can be poured into drinking water that people will turn on their faucets and then drink without knowing what is in there and that that somehow that is okay because a commission back in 1954 decided it needed to help our fishing industry. I recently asked our own New York State department of conservation the DEC why they are letting this happen, especially when my area has just been deemed a new wetland. I was told that it does not matter if it's a wetland and even though everyone else has to follow unbelievable rules even if they just want to build a pair of stairs to their already built home, the dec is indicating that because the commission was founded in 1954 with an agenda to take care of a invasive species, they don't have to follow any rules and can pour these toxic chemicals directly into wetlands. Why do we have rules if everyone can get an exemption? The people who get exemptions are the big business are the politicians are the commissions are the people who are making the money off of hurting others. I'm continuing to try to fight. I have everything in writing admitting to their own fault and admitting to them pouring these chemicals without notifying communities. I can't even get local news channels to continue to take on this issue so that they can let other people know what is going on. So at least they can ask questions. They can look on a website they can try to find out when and if these chemicals are being poured. It's absolutely amazing to me that all of these things are going on right under our noses and the things that we complain about and the protest that go on to me are not in the right areas right under our noses we have people who are poisoning us and everyone is just sitting because they don't know. Then when they do know they don't know what to do. Then when they know what to do, they are simply turned down, made to feel like they're crazy and told that it's not a big deal. It is a big deal. Pouring a toxic chemical into water is a no-brainer. It's common Sense. If I said to you, can I come to your house by your well and pour in a toxic chemical? That's number that's hazardous and toxic. What would you say? Sure, go ahead? No you would say absolutely not. Are you crazy? What do you mean? You can't put that in my water. However, they're doing it. They've been doing it here in New York state since 1982 in my area and they're doing it in 20 other rivers in New York state and they're doing it in hundreds of rivers all over the Great lakes. The point is is people don't know what's happening. The commission that's been put in charge of doing this has rules has protocols that they have to follow. They are not following them and even when they're called out on it, they just get to continue to do business as usual. I can only hope that people who read this can look more into what is called the Great lakes fish commission who deal with sea lamprey which is an evasive species that latches on to trout and then leaves a hole and then the trout can die. That is why they are pouring this taxic chemical into our Rivers and tributaries to try to kill the eggs. They have other methods they can use such as barriers such as actually catching them by hand. They can also use different types of barrier fences. But no, the toxic chemical is easier and potentially cheaper, and this taxic chemical is in fact extremely hazardous and when they are using it and putting it into containers, they have to use special equipment hazmat hazmat equipment and there is a bundle of rules that have to be followed, which I brought forward in the meeting to indicate that their own review showed that they're not even following protocols for preparing the product to be poured. It goes on and on and on and the more that you review it and the more you Google it it becomes insane. I really look at it almost like the whole pfas issue back in the day. Nobody knew what it was. Nobody talked about it and no politicians wanted to know anything about it but now it's a big word. It's a hub word and now everybody wants to talk about it because somewhere somehow some small community got it going. I feel that that's what this is. All of these communities all over the Great lakes have these toxic chemicals being poured into the rivers every 3 to 5 years and it's been going on since 1954. How much tax at chemical do you think we could put into Waters before they cause a problem? Mother nature does not allow us to put anything into her area that she does not want and if anybody thinks that you can play with mother nature and not have a consequence, they're really pipe dreaming. I apologize for the long rant but I feel I need to share what I'm going through only so that I can keep pushing forward.
So disappointing but we fight on. The PFAS they will use, in addition to consuming 4 million gallons of water per day leave us no choice but to continue the fight in any way we can. We found an attorney who didn't have a conflict, rounded up a couple of plaintiffs not afraid of the University's threats and we have now stalled the construction by 9 months. We fight until there is nothing left we can do. We are David vs. Goliath.
This is an expansion to an existing BWXT facility in Jonesborough not a new one. Are there any issues with the existing facility? It would seem the existing facility is being run without issue. Do those opposed have any concrete objections or is it all one big emotional appeal?
This is a new process which has NEVER been done in th US .it is not what has been going on at Aerojet.That was basically a foundry.This is depleted uranium processing of material from Portsmouth plant in Ohio
A new process at scale, AOT has operated a pilot plant at this site for 40 years. I read the National Nuclear Security Administration's environmental assessment on this facility and there is no additional calculated risk from the expansion than without it.

WOW
This is actually the same process that you suggested to me 5 years ago for Fairfield Maine and it works.
I have the pleasure of knowing Anna/Diana personally and know the love they have for their home. I hope this added visibility puts added pressure on BWXT to do the right thing. As you said, a 7 year old "shouldn’t even know what high-purity depleted uranium is."
Showing up scared is still showing up. The people who want to keep you quiet are counting on your silence. Don’t give them that.
There have been "accidents" at the existing facility in the past and there is already depleted uranium buried right next to Little Limestone Creek. So yes, there are and have been issues with the existing facility.
How about keep uranium and mask wearing ICE goons out of our communities.
Hell no
nope.

Or citizens line uo to speak for 6+ hours and they still a pre-written statement and vote thru a toxic (PFAS) industry into a residential area.
Always the worst!
So disappointing but we fight on. The PFAS they will use, in addition to consuming 4 million gallons of water per day leave us no choice but to continue the fight in any way we can.
