SANTA FE—Solar generated power is supplying most of the electricity needed to operate the Buckman Regional Water Treatment Plant (BRWTP), saving $250,000 in annual energy costs. The solar electricity provides much of the BRWTP peak needs and accounts for one-third of the yearly electricity needed to pump raw water from the Rio Grande and finished treated water to City and County storage tanks.

The Buckman Direct Diversion (BDD) Project Board yesterday approved a $200,000 contract with ChemRisk, LLC to provide an “efficient, effective, and transparent” independent peer review. Under the one-year contract, ChemRisk will review existing data, information, studies and published risk analyses to develop a report for area residents describing their potential exposure from LANL-origin contaminants that could possibly reach the Rio Grande. The report will focus on the tap water pathway including Rio Grande water diverted by the BDD Project and also compare this risk to risks of other public exposure pathways including LANL-origin contaminants and natural and man-made radiation exposures.
