Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982

The EA states that the Vacherie Salt Dome Site is
located only 10 miles from Minden.


p. 6-95, Sect. 6.3.1.2.3. If after waste emplacement, the waste leaked
through the salt stock and into the surrounding sediments, the statement "the
clay and organic rich sediments surrounding the dome are expected to provide a
significant sorption capacity", has little bearing. Fluid migration in the
surrounding aquifers has not been adequately addressed in the EA. Fluids
sometimes migrate faster along fault planes; hydrologic model stuides should
be generated using the fault geometry observed at Vacherie Dome.
