Waste site talks split Andrews County residents
Clayton supports acceptance of a proposed waste site in Andrews County while Gaston urges caution and a public hearing to gauge opinion. Officials consider multiple locations including Culberson and near Van Horn, with concerns about gypsum in the ground and Ogallala aquifer. Odessa officials declined comment as the board approved burying low level radioactive waste canisters, 7 feet tall and diameter, with a concrete cap, buried about 40 feet deep.
