The U.S. Department of Energy, Richland Operation Office (DOE-RL) needs to provide cost-effective, additional personal protection and public safety through expanding training and equipment testing facilities at the Volpentest Hazardous Materials Management and Emergency Response Training and Education Center (HAMMER) on the Hanford Site.
The proposed action would include constructing and operating the EVOC, which would be located on approximately 60 acres (24.2 hectares); expanding, operating, and transferring ownership of NUTS, which is located on approximately 80 acres (32.3 hectares) [40 acres (16.2 hectares) from the original HAMMER footprint and 40 additional acres (16.2 hectares) from the expansion]; and reserving the remaining space [approximately 92 acres (37.2 hectares)] north of the original HAMMER, NUTS, and the CTF (Figure 2) and south of the BPA power lines for future development. EVOC would provide training to emergency service personnel when driving in emergency response situations. NUTS would provide training for utility personnel.

The Department of Energy has completed an environmental assessment for the proposed lease of facilities and equipment to USEC, Inc. which would be used in its Gas Centrifuge Research and Development Project at the East Tennessee Technology Park and the Centrifuge Technology Center Facility.
The purpose of the Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) is in assess potential environmental impacts of the implementation of a comprehensive management program for potentiaIly reusable Iow enriched uranium (LEU), normal uranium (NU), and depleted uranium (DU). Approximately 14,200 MTU (metric Tons of Uranium) of potentially reusable uranium is located at 158 sites. DOE has evaluated various options for interim centralized storage and interim consolidated storage at six DOE locations and two commercial sites. Ultimate disposition has also been evaluated to the extent practicable as part of this
management program.

The DOE has prepared an Environmental Assessment to analyze the potential environmental consequences of a facility construction effort at the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, campus of the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). Within the existing NETL site, the DOE would construct a 1-story, approximately 8,600 square foot building to provide childcare housing for a maximum of 90 children.
The DOE has prepared an Environmental Assessment to analyze the potential environmental consequences of participating in a cooperative agreement with Universal Aggregates, LLC, for the design, construction, and operation of a plant to manufacture lightweight aggregates.
