Horowhenua District Council is re-examining its decision to stop mowing roadside berms. It trimmed back the service in July in a decision that saved ratepayers nearly $250,00 annually - but prompted outcry. Councillors have now voted to compile a report on options for reinstating it. Horowhenua mayor Bernie Wanden says they want to look more closely at the impacts. "It does not mean that we are going to flip-flop, all it means is that we want to understand what has happened since we stopped mowing berms."

Levin residents are up in arms over a council decision to stop mowing berms as part of cuts to reduce a rate increase.

Controversy in Levin over a recent move to end residential berm-mowing. Horowhenua District Council is making property owners responsible for mowing berms to save about $250,000 a year. Many city councils – like Auckland and Wellington – require owners to mow their own berms, while others – like Christchurch – "strongly encourage" it. Horowhenua District Councillor Sam Jennings told Mike Hosking during consultation most residents supported the change, but public opinion has since shifted. “It's all blown up on social media just recently, I guess because of the spring growth.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Decommissioning board examines wastewater solutions A week after Holtec, the firm that is decommissioning the Indian Point nuclear power plant, challenged a state law that prevents it from discharging radioactive water into the Hudson River, an oversight board discussed alternate methods of handling the waste. Holtec says it needs to dispose of at least 1.3 million gallons of wastewater, telling the Indian Point Decommissioning Oversight Board that the amount will increase but not indicating by how much. While the plant routinely discharged radioactive wastewater into the river during the 50 years it operated, the process has drawn renewed concern by critics who say the risks have been underestimated. Arnie Gundersen, a former nuclear engineer and nuclear industry executive, told the oversight board at its April 25 meeting that the federal Environmental Protection Agency standards set in the 1970s for tritium, the radioactive material in the wastewater, were "not a health-based standard. It's based on what was easily achievable." Gundersen said that further research was needed to determine the "synergistic toxicity" of tritium, or how it could potentially increase the toxicity of non-radioactive pollutants it comes in contact with, particularly the PCBs in the Hudson River. "We need to take another look at tritium, because it's not as benign as we think," he asserted. "Let's wait for the science to catch up and store it until then." Environmental groups would like to see the wastewater kept on-site for at least 12 years, which is the amount of time that it would take for the tritium to decompose to half its current potency. David Lochbaum, a retired nuclear engineer and former director of nuclear safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists who serves on the oversight board, has repeatedly warned that the tanks used for long-term wastewater storage have leaked elsewhere, and that they must be vented, which allows tritium to escape into the atmosphere. In his presentation, Gundersen explained how the leakage problem could be addressed by storing the wastewater in tanks housed in the plant's former turbine building, which has not yet been torn down. An empty backup could also be available if one of the tanks fails. Berms placed around the tanks would stop leaks from reaching the Hudson, he said, and a rubber diaphragm placed over the vents once the tanks were filled "would allow air movement due to minor temperature changes while preventing evaporation." Frank Spagnuolo, a representative from Holtec, said Gundersen's plan would not solve its primary problem: Until the tanks and pools have been emptied and the wastewater is off-site, the company cannot fully decommission the plant. Holtec announced in November 2023 that the ban on discharging wastewater into the Hudson would delay the completion of its work from 2033 to 2041. It sued New York State in federal court on April 18 to overturn the law. At the April 25 meeting, Spagnuolo said the company had calculated the time lost to legal battles into the anticipated delay. "The tanks need to get released somehow, somewhere," Spagnuolo said. "We can make this our grandchildren's problem, if that's what we decide to do." In a second presentation, Bridget Frymire of the New York Department of Service discussed the feasibility of shipping the wastewater off-site. This is what happened at the decommissioned Vermont Yankee plant from 2021 to 2023, although Frymire noted the site already had a railroad spur. Vermont Yankee's wastewater was shipped to a Texas facility where it was solidified and buried. A facility in Tennessee that is also licensed for radiological waste disposal could put the Indian Point wastewater through a similar process. This potential solution did not appease many of the community members who spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting and said that offloading the Hudson Valley waste to another community would be an environmental justice violation.

This is the fourth in a series of episodes about strategies for growing double the food with one tenth of the effort.This episode shares two strategies for building soil and reducing the need for irrigation. Berms block wind and introduce texture into the landscape, providing some spots that are wet, some that are dry, some that are sunny, and some that are shady. Mulch adds organic matter to the soil, discourages undesirable plants, and protects the soil from the harsh rays of the sun.To learn more about the book, visit buildingabetterworldbook.com.

Another out and abouter, where you get to hear me go through a range of emotions, mostly fun ones, including hearing me cry for the first time on the podcast! Told you it was coming.
