Wolf Naegeli, Knoxville (Oak Ridge resident from 1985 to 1997)
Affiliations:
Why I became an EUWG member: As a longtime neighbor whose backyard adjoined the Oak Ridge Reservation, I have had a strong interest in its status and future. It contains not only some of the most severely contaminated sites in the U.S. but also a very important and unique national asset in the National Environmental Research Park/Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve. I wanted to help assure that the pollution problems are dealt with expeditiously and in a way that reduces the total risk to human health and the environment. It would be unacceptable to me if the billion dollar cleanup activities created greater risks for the remediation workers and the residents of transportation corridors and final disposal sites than could be eliminated by the cleanup. I also am a proponent of participatory democracy. This was an opportunity to walk my talk and help the community with may professional knowledge.
