Implementation plan: Executive summary. Environmental restoration and waste management programmatic environmental impact statement

摘要

In November 1989, the Secretary of Energy established the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management. This action consolidated the Department's environmental restoration and waste management activities throughout the nation. In January 1990, the Secretary of Energy decided that the Department would prepare a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed integrated Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Program. The principal focus of the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement process will be the evaluation of strategies for conducting remediation of Department sites and facilities to ensure the protection of human health and the environment; and the evaluation of potential configurations for waste management capabilities.
