Needles Desert Site Tests U.S. Radioactive Waste Plan
In Needles California a 1000 acre Mojave tract sits at the center of a national test for low level radioactive waste disposal. Milton Blair leases the land from the BLM for cattle and litter pickup while state and federal officials weigh turning the Ward Valley site into a disposal facility. If built it would be the first since 1971. if not, it signals stalled waste compact efforts across states and confirms California’s fragile path through regulatory and political hurdles. Stephen Romano of U S Ecology, licensed to build the dump, views the valley as ideal for remote disposal.
