DOE’s Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) recently unveiled its vision for the next decade to employees and partners, and progress is already under way toward achieving it.
EM Office of River Protection (ORP) crews at the Hanford Site are preparing to install another asphalt surface barrier to divert water runoff to protect groundwater from contaminants.
EM Richland Operations Office (RL) contractors Central Plateau Cleanup Company (CPCCo) and Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) are teaming up again to continue removing contaminated soil beneath the 324 Building.
Another year, another 2 billion gallons of contaminated groundwater treated. It’s a repeat of last-year’s statistics, but a new chapter that illustrates continuous, consistent cleanup progress at the Hanford Site year after year.
EM crews employed a unique solution to safely close a 70-year-old well at the Savannah River Site (SRS), saving about $900,000.
DOE bestowed its Sustainability Award on the EM program at the Savannah River Site (SRS) last week for its innovative use of natural resources to safely address groundwater containing the legacy contaminant tritium.
EM has released a web-based mapping tool called TRAC, or Tracking Restoration And Closure, that transforms data and other technical material about groundwater plumes at EM sites into relevant, easy-to-understand information.
As part of its goal to increase small business involvement in the legacy cleanup mission, EM Los Alamos Field Office (EM-LA) contractor Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos (N3B) recently awarded subcontracts to three small environmental firms.
EM is entering the next phase of cleanup at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) after achieving a pivotal milestone: completion of demolition of the final 18 DOE-owned buildings on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) site.
EM has developed a series of innovative initiatives to support improved groundwater monitoring and remediation across the DOE complex, including a new publicly available web-based application.
