4 MR. WILSON: Good evening, and welcome to the
5 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's continuation
6 of our hearing to receive comments on our proposed
7 decision to certify that the Department of Energy Waste
8 Isolation Pilot Plant, known as WIPP, is in compliance
9 with EPA Radioactive Waste Disposal Standards.
10 My name is Richard Wilson. I'm the Acting
11 Assistant Administrator for the radiation program at
12 the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington D.C.
13 I guess first I'll introduce the rest of the
14 panel. All of us are from the Environmental Protection
15 Agency in Washington D.C.
16 Larry Weinstock, Frank Marcinowski, and Mary
17 Kruger, all in the radiation division, working on this
18 project and other issues, and Keith Matthews from our
19 General Counsel's office. 20 I won't go through all the background that I
21 did when we started this afternoon, but just for those
22 of you who weren't here, I'll mention how the hearing
23 works. It's an informal hearing, so we don't swear
24 people or have cross-examination. We just are here to
25 get your comments on our proposal.

1 We have had to limit the time each person has
2 in order to make sure each person had an opportunity to
3 speak, so individuals have been given five minutes. If
4 you are representing a group, you have ten minutes. We
5 have a little timer to help you get a sense of where
6 you are in terms of the schedule. It will turn green
7 when you start your testimony, it turns yellow at about
8 two or three minutes, and then turns red when your time
9 is up. It's okay if you are over a little or under a
10 little, but please try to stay roughly on time. We're
11 going to stay here tonight as late as we need to so
12 that everyone has a chance to testify who is here who
13 wants to testify, but if you take longer than your
14 time, you are really eating into somebody else's time,
15 so that I encourage you to try to stick to our
16 schedule. If you have a longer statement than that, we
17 would be happy to take it and enter it in full in our
18 record.
19 For those of you who are interested in 20 submitting comments later, our public comment period is
21 open until February 27. There's information in the
22 back about where to send the comments to. If you would
23 like to send comments in writing, in addition to any
24 testimony or instead of testimony, or in response to
25 somebody else's testimony, I'd encourage you to do
