Environmental Information Center
In 1993, the
United States Department of Energy (DOE) opened
a public Environmental Information Center (EIC)
to provide greater accessibility for residents
interested in learning more about DOE's
environmental management
activities being conducted at the Portsmouth
Gaseous Diffusion Plant. A reading room is
available for residents who wish to review
material at the center, while copies of
documents at the EIC can be reproduced free of
charge for the public. (Note: Some charges and
restrictions may apply based on total volume).
Document Categories
The EIC contains
public copies of major document categories
(Administrative Records and Information
Repository) as specified by current
environmental regulations regarding federal
facilities.
The Administrative Records and Information
Repository serve as vehicles for public
participation, meaning these documents are made
available to the public for review so members of
the community can be better informed and comment on response actions
and corrective remedies being taken at the
plant.
1. Administrative Records
The Administrative Records consist of
environmental restoration documents relied upon
to make cleanup decisions and are therefore
subject to judicial review.
These records include the following documents.
¨
Project work plans
¨
Facility investigation reports
¨
Corrective Measures Study Reports
¨
Corrective Measures Implementation Reports
¨
Comments during Public Comment Periods
¨
Validated Sampling Data
¨
Preferred Plans/Decision Documents
¨
Assessment Reports
2.
Information Repository
The Information Repository consists of
additional documents that provide background
information or reference materials on the
plant's Environmental Management Program but are
not relied upon to make the cleanup decisions.
Besides general environmental documents in the
Information Repository, other documents may
include the following.
¨
Fact sheets
¨
Reports on Site
Activities
¨
Department of Energy
Plans and Reports
¨
Regulations and
Guidelines
¨
News Clips on the
Plant Cleanup Program
