b
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories' (SNL) Environmental Restorations (ER) Operations have successfully closed 278 of 314 ER sites through regulatory oversight by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED). Thirty-Six ER sites are being addressed and that SNL is in complete compliance with the NMED Compliance Order on Consent for ER Operations issued the department in 2004.
There are seven ground water projects at SNL, including the Groundwater Protection Program, the Mixed Waste Landfill, the Chemical Waste Landfill, the Burn Site, Tijeras Arroyo Site, Technical Area V (5), and miscellaneous solid waste management units. The Mixed Waste Landfill, which contains tritium among other contaminants of concern, has four groundwater monitoring wells that are sampled semiannually and that no analytes of concern have been found above regulatory standards. Completion of the ER activities at SNL is scheduled for 2020.
David Miller of Sandia National Labs will make a presentation on SNL's environmental restoration activities.
