The Sierra Club has argued that problems exist with WCS's application for the license including a failure to adequately characterize underground geology. The Sierra Club and Eunice residents say that there is water under the prospective disposal site -- which residents of Eunice drink.

WCS has denied that claim and offers assurances that the facility would be environmentally safe. Also, proponents of the facility's construction have said that the Eunice residents do not meet the statutory requirements for a "affected person" (which one must be in order to be able to force a contested case) because they are not citizens of the state (Texas) to which the statute applies.
