State or tribal notice of disapproval of a site selected for a repository as provided by the NWPA. Such a notice of disapproval would eliminate that site from further consideration for a repository unless both houses of Congress override the notice by passing a joint resolution that approves the selection of the site. For instance, Mississippi is concerned about the impact on its relatively small land holdings and its economy tied to farming, small manufacturing, and forest products industries; Texas worries about the effects on the water source (Ogallala Aquifer) and the marketability of food products grown nearby; and Utah is concerned that the potential siting would affect national parks and other nearby state parks and tourism.
