“…SNLNM has maintained an environmental radiological monitoring program in place since February 1959(Hwang et al, 1991 any potential releases and/or migration of radioactive material from SNL/NM operations and to determine the resulting population exposures above normal background radiation levels. The radiological monitoring.program also provides a check on the effectiveness of reactor radiological safety systems that are in effect at Technical Area V. Soil, vegetation, and water are monitored for radionuclides, primarily cesium-137 and tritium.…”

The purpose of this Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico (SNL/NM) Environmental Baseline Update is to provide the background information necessary for SNL/NM personnel and contractors to prepare clear and concise NEPA documentation. The scope of the Environmental Baseline Update is to provide comprehensive data needed to support a description of the affected environment at the SNL/NM facility. The "description of the affected environment,'' required by the CEQ regulations in 40 CFR $ 1502.15, is an essential prerequisite for assessing the environmental consequences ($1 502.18) of a proposed action (project) to be implemented by SNL/NM.

The purpose of this Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico (SNL/NM) Environmental Baseline Update is to provide the background information necessary for SNLNM personnel and contractors to prepare clear and concise NEPA documentation. The scope of the Environmental Baseline Update is to provide the comprehensive data needed to support a description of the affected environment at the SNLLNM facility. The "description of the affected environment,"required by the CEQ regulations in 40 CFR 0 1502.15, is an essential prerequisite for assessing the environmental consequences (9 1502.16) of a proposed action (project) to be implemented by SNLNM. Appendix A of the Environmental Baseline Update summarizes the CEQ requirements for the format and contents of a NEPA document (40 CFR Part 1502). Appendix A also summarizes the relationship of NEPA to other federal environmental laws, and how the requirements of other statutes, regulations, and executive orders (EO) are to be addressed in a NEPA document.It is intended that this Environmental Baseline Update be used as a source document for preparing environmental descriptions in environmental checklists/action description memoranda, EAs, and EISs. The CEQ regulations specify that "descriptions shall be no longer than necessary to understand the effects of the alternatives" (9 1502.15). Some of the environmental descriptions (e.g., noise and visual resources) will not be relevant to every proposed action.Normally, a section in a NEPA document is devoted to a list of persons or organizations/ agencies contacted during the preparation of the document, as well as a list of preparers. In this Environmental Baseline Update, Chapter 14.0 includes the list of such organizations. SNL/NM xvi personnel or contractors may find the list to be a useful reference in preparing future NEPA documentation. In addition, Department 73 15, Risk Management and NEPA, at SNL/NM maintains a NEPA Compliance Guide (SAND95-1648) that provides direction on the preparation of NEPA documents (Hansen, 1995).Additional information that may be helpful in the preparation of NEPA document...

The Departmentof Energy(DOE)has preparedan environmental assessment(EA) (DOE/EA-0466) underthe NationalEnvironmental PolicyAct (NEPA)of 1969for the proposedcompletionof construction and subsequentoperationof a centralRadioactive and MixedWasteManagementFacility(RMWMF),in the southeastern portionof TechnicalArea III at SandiaNationalLaboratory, Albuquerque(SNLA). The RMWMF is designedto receive,store,characterize, conductlimitedbench-scale treatment of, repackage,and certifylow-level waste (LLW)and mixed waste (MW) (as necessary)for shipmentto an offsitedisposalor treatmentfacility. The RMWMFwas partiallyconstructed in ]989. Due to changingregulatory requirements, plannedfacilityupgradeswouldbe undertaken as part of the proposed action. These upgradeswould includepavingof road surfacesand work areas, installation of pumpingequipmentand linesfor surfaceimpoundment, and designand construction of air locksand truckdecontamination and watertreatmentsystems. The proposedactionalso includesan adjacentcorrosive and reactivemetals storage area,and associatedroads and paving. LLW and MW generatedat SNLA would be transported from the technicalareas to the RMWMFin containersapprovedby the Department of Transportation.The RMWMFwould not handlenonradioactive hazardouswaste.
