BDD Project Manager Rick Carpenter,
Technical Testimony Before the State of New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission in the Matter of the Triennial Review of Standards for Interstate and Intrastate Surface Waters. The Buckman Direct Diversion Board (BDDB) requests that the New Mexico Water quality Control Commission promulgate the New Mexico Environment Department’s (NMED) proposed New Mexico water quality standards, as amended by NMED, to implement health-based water quality criteria for the public water supply as to five Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) origin radionuclides in the Rio Grande upstream of Cochiti Reservoir (NMED Proposed Amendments 20.6.4.114). The BDDB requests these changes so that our customers are properly informed regarding the source water quality in this segment of the Rio Grande.
