Our personnel performed surveys related to relative abundance, featured species, migratory birds, waterfowl, raptors, big game, prairie dogs, and carnivores to monitor presence, status, and location of wildlife and vegetation.

Surveys were conducted for construction projects, remediation projects, and sampling activities to identify impacts to animals, plants and habitats, identify existing or potential issues, and resolve problems, while assisting in finding pathways to maintain compliant operations. We prepared biological evaluations and assessments and assisted in consultations with regulatory agencies such as the USFWS, EPA and state agencies.

Pollution Prevention Program Management

Our P2 program was designed to ensure compliance with Pollution Prevention (P2) requirements in the Pollution Prevention Act. We incorporated pollution prevention concepts and principles into the daily operations at RFETS while focusing on reducing risks from highly toxic substances, promoting environmentally preferable purchasing, and addressing safe labeling. The program encouraged the consideration of environmental factors in the purchasing and use of products across the site.

Our Waste Certification and Oversight Program ensured compliance with the requirements of DOE Order 435.1 Radioactive Waste Management, and the waste acceptance requirements of the facilities receiving the radioactive wastes for storage, treatment and disposal. PE Group WCOs certified low-level radioactive, low-level mixed with RCRA or TSCA wastes, transuranic, and transuranic mixed wastes for shipment.
