State briefs on White Sands line and fuel spill in New Mexico
Gov. Susana Martinez asks Obama and Jewell to modify the Sundia transmission route so it avoids White Sands Missile Range. A 45 mile segment would pass through the range, DOE says the project stalls amid disagreements, and Defense opposes the route. Environmental regulators warn the Air Force may face daily fines if the groundwater cleanup misses the June 30 deadline. The plan relies on bacteria to degrade fuel from a 1999 spill. a June 30 date could slip up to a year.
