The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (EM) has updated its popular “By the Numbers” feature, which illustrates progress at cleanup sites through quick and clear infographics.
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) released a report last week to inform the public of possible impacts from EM’s cleanup of contaminated soil and groundwater at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL).
The U.S. DOE EM released the Final Request for Proposals for Small Business Nationwide Deactivation, Decommissioning and Removal (DD&R) to perform DD&R of Facilities, Waste Management services, and Program Support services.
EM has partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to preserve Braunton’s milk-vetch, an endangered short-lived perennial plant in the pea family, at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) site.
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.
DOE has collected more than 2,000 groundwater samples for analysis and removed 9,000 gallons of contaminants from the groundwater at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) site.
Trucks carrying the last of demolition waste safely left the Energy Technology Engineering Center northwest of Los Angeles on Jan. 26, marking another milestone in EM’s cleanup following the teardown of the final DOE-owned buildings there in October.
The Office of Environmental Management leveraged the results of years of successful work in 2021 to launch a new era for the U.S. Department of Energy’s cleanup mission, all while continuing to manage the challenging conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Oct. 1, 2021, EM completed demolition of the final 18 DOE-owned buildings at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) site in Ventura County, California.
