The Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE NNSA) recently issued the Final Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement (SWEIS) for Los Alamos National Laboratory—a sweeping, long-term plan that will shape nuclear weapons production, waste management, environmental contamination, sacred site protection, and public health impacts in Northern New Mexico for years to come.

Despite the scale and significance of these decisions, DOE NNSA has not provided an opportunity for the public and affected communities to review and respond to the Final analysis before moving toward a decision. This undermines the core purpose of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires informed, transparent decision-making grounded in meaningful public participation.

Tell DOE NNSA to provide an opportunity for public input on the Final LANL SWEIS before any final decision is issued.
