1 Using an Environmental Management System for Managing DOE’s Legacy DOE Order 450.1 Workshop 26 February, 2003

2 Better, longer-lived materials for containment. 9 Better means of monitoring and providing advance warning of releases Fewer and smaller footprints. More efficient means of repair. Better land use controls and means of monitoring same. Better means of risk communication. Better performance assessment models to know what to look for and where. More efficient means of data storage and retrieval. Chemical Toxicity Biomarkers Ecological Studies Natural Forces of Change Catastrophic Events Material Research Human Intrusion Vadose Zone Research Risk Assessment Geographic Information Systems Risk Management Risk Communication Land Use Human Factors Computer Science Records Archiving RELATED R&D Institutional Controls -Management Systems -Social Systems Infrastructure Commercial Technology Evolution Regulatory Requirements Basic Science Medical Research

3 IFD- 0004 02-23-99 Map of 129 Sites that May Require LTS

Simple Site Transfers UMTRCA Title I Small Reactors LTS Office formed Rapid Pace of Site Transfers UMTRCA Title II FUSRAP sites Fernald Mound National Labs Rocky Flats Weldon Spring Additional Sites Schedule Uncertain LTSM of Large, Complex Sites Hanford Oak Ridge Savannah River Idaho 1996-2000 Need for LTS Established Recognize LTS issues Develop initial LTS baseline Identify specific LTS challenges Portions of some sites enter LTS 2001-2006 Build operations for effective LM Build LTS into cleanup decisions Develop site LTS transition plans Develop LTS S&T Roadmap Establish Office of Legacy Management Resolve site-specific & nat’l LM issues Additional portions of sites enter LM 2006- LTSM program in full operation Implement site-specific LM plans Transfer LM responsibilities Deploy LM technologies

5 Department of Energy Responsibility EM Program Cleanup Waste Repositories (e.g., WIPP) Legacy Management Responsibilities are Evolving Sites that Supported Former DOE Missions Private Sector Sites FUSRAP Mining & Milling Research Nuclear Fuel Cycle MOU UMTRCA Title II NWPA §151 AEA §161(g) Hall Amendment MOUs Permits PL 105-119 (1998) Hall Amendment MOAs GSA Third Party Cleanup Mining and Milling NRC Licensees Army COE FUSRAP Transfer Portions to Local Gov’ts Los Alamos National Laboratory Property Transfer/Lease Lease/Permit Portions to Other Federal Agencies Hanford Reach National Monument (DOI/USFWS) Savannah River (DOA/USFS) Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge (DOI/USFWS) Transfer Portions to Private Sector Pinellas Miamisburg East Tennessee Technology Park Transfer of LM Responsibility Sale to Private Sector Owner (e.g., Oxnard) Continuing DOE Missions NA (e.g., Los Alamos, NTS) SC (e.g., LBL, ORNL) NE (Argonne-West) Legacy Management and Long-term Surveillance & Maintenance Shared LTSM (LM Record Keeping)

6 Legacy Management Site surveillance and maintenance Application and enforcement of institutional controls Information management Environmental monitoring ActiveSiteRemediation Apply Site Transition Framework Transition Framework Develop LTS PlanningImplement and Optimize LM Consensus on “Criteria” by Federal, State and Local governments & Stakeholders EMS will help with the transition from cleanup to stewardship

7 Environmental Stewardship Policy Risk-based Budget Prioritization Organizational Responsibility and Training Compliance Assurance Institutional/Project-specific Operational Controls & Maintenance Monitoring, Surveillance and Reporting Emergency Preparedness, Response and Contingency Management Records Management Performance Reviews, Corrective Action and Improvement Stakeholder Involvement BNL Identified LTS-EMS Integration Opportunities

8 Capability Enhancements to Sustain Long-Term Environmental Stewardship

9 LTS is a Department-wide responsibility LTS is a component of all aspects of Departmental decision-making The Department is a trustee of natural and cultural resources LTS should be incorporated into relevant Departmental policies, practices, and systems An intergenerational approach is needed for LTS LTS policy must provide a consistent framework and acknowledge sites’ need for flexibility Involvement of stakeholders and state, local, and tribal governments is critical to LTS Principles of Long-Term Stewardship
