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

29 sites where portion(s) of the site are expected to require long-term stewardship by 2006
12 sites w ith geographically distinct portions requiring long-term stew ardship by 2006
17 sites w here surface cleanup is completed by 2006 and w ill require long-term stew ardship but subsurface characterization and remediation activities w ill be on-going after 2006
34 sites where cleanup has been completed and DOE is conducting long-term stewardship activities as of 2000
33 sites where cleanup is expected to be completed and DOE will conduct long-term stewardship activities by 2006
33 sites where DOE may be responsible for long-term stewardship, if long-term stewardship activities are necessary

• 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
2001-2006Build 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

BNL Identified LTS-EMS Integration Opportunities
Capability Enhancements to Sustain Long-Term Environmental Stewardship
• 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
