Anyone who wants to participate in or just listen to a public hearing today on the U.S. Army’s plans for collecting and analyzing samples from Jefferson Proving Ground can dial in on a toll-free telephone number.
The public hearing is being conducted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff in Washington, D.C.
The Army is proposing how it will collect samples at the former munitions testing site to look for the presence of depleted uranium, which was used in munitions that were tested.
The toll-free number (800) 638-8081.
The hearing is scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. Madison time.
The NRC set up eight telephone lines for dial-in participation, said Richard Hill, president of the Save the Valley environmental organization and co-chairman of the JPG Restoration Advisory Board. Save the Valley will be using three of the lines for Hill, Save the Valley’s attorney and experts hired by Save the Valley, he said.
The Army detailed its sampling plan in a 209-page report issued this summer.
