A meeting was held at C/S 6, Laguna on Tuesday November 16th, to reintroduce
the pueblo of Laguna to Transwestern's environmental activities at the facility. The Laguna's have hired an environmental person to oversee environmental issues on pueblo lands. The meeting centered around three issues: a UST site which had been removed, but not formally closed, a historic removal of asbestos which had been buried at the facility in the late 1980's, and the ongoing groundwater remediation at the site. Transwestern provided a history of the above mentioned activiites and why these issues were unresolved in the "eyes" of the Laguna. Transwestern committed to submitting closure requests for the UST and asbestos issues. With repsect to the groundwater issue, a presentation was given enlighting the Laguna representative of the difficult nature of the subsurface geology and groundwater characteristics to rapidly clean the contaminants (chlorinated solvents and PCB's) and Transwestern's intent to continue its remediation efforts. Transwestern assured the Laguna environmental representative that all correspondance and data pertaining to environmental issues would be submitted to the pueblo agency. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Laguna's understood Transwestern's commitment to maintaining the policies and practices consistent with the pueblo of Laguna. The meeting provided Transwestern and the Laguna's with the opportunity to meet and share ideas and opinions and initiate working relationships. The Laguna's now have an understanding of the environmental activities at the site and what Transwestern's approach is to removing the contaminants. The Laguna's appreciated Transwestern's efforts and commitment to environmental compliance on the Laguna pueblo.
