Tell the Air Board to Reject the Air Permit for Site 300!

Have you signed yet? We ask you to sign the petition calling on the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) to reject the air permit for large, open-air bomb detonations at Livermore Lab’s Site 300!

On February 22, 2018, Livermore Lab released a “Finding of No Significant Impact” for its proposal to increase the daily weight limit of explosives used in its outdoor toxic blasts from 100 pounds a day to 1,000 pounds a day AND increase the annual limit from 1,000 pounds a year to 7,500 pounds a year!!! To summarize, Livermore Lab Field Office assessed its own impact and gave itself approval to continue with the proposal.

Now more than ever, we, the community, must stand up and voice our disagreement with the proposal to the SJVAPCD. The SJVAPCD is the last barrier before Site 300 could have full permission to detonate toxic bomb blasts in the open air under the proposed action!
