By Beyond Nuclear's count, here is the break down from the public comment meetings thus far:
Meeting Date..........Opponents to Dump..........Proponents in Favor of the Dump
June 23, 2020.........35..................................24
July 9, 2020............34..................................7
August 20, 2020......15..................................0
August 25, 2020......18..................................8
August 26, 2020......17..................................2
September 2, 2020...25.................................2
Grand Total.............134................................43
This is similar to the counts at verbal comment meetings during the earlier environmental scoping phase in 2018. Opponents to the dump outnumbered dump supporters at every single verbal public comment meeting, even in the company towns of Carlsbad and Hobbs, NM.
In addition to this, opponents to the dump have generated vastly more written public comments than have dump supporters, during environmental scoping (around 35,000 written comments opposed to the dump), as well as during the current Draft Environmental Impact Statement public comment period (deadline Sept. 22, 2020).
