From the transcript
Furthermore, there are concerns regarding groundwater contamination that should be prioritized. Information presented recently by Three Tier Alaska at a community meeting identified diesel contamination in the groundwater. The source is not currently known. I am not claiming the proposed business causes contamination, though the fact remains diesel has been detected in the groundwater as well as solvents, and the source is not clearly identified. This should not be treated as a minor detail.
