Environmental Baseline Survey for Installation of Five New Hydrogeologic Groundwater Monitoring Wells

This Phase I Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) provides the findings of a survey and assessment for termination of an existing easement granted to the Department of Energy (DOE) for the installation of 5 new hydrogeologic groundwater monitoring wells located on KAFB, New Mexico. The purpose of this EBS is to: Document the nature, magnitude, and extent of any environmental contamination of the property. Identify potential environmental contamination liabilities associated with the property. Develop sufficient information to assess the health and safety risks. Ensure adequate protection for human health and the environment related to a specific property. Determine possible effects of contamination on property valuation, and serve as the basis for notice of environmental condition for applicable federal or local real property disclosure requirements.

Commuter Assistance Program Administrative Operating Procedure

Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico’s (SNL/NM) Commuter Assistance Program (CAP) offers commuting alternatives to driving a single-occupant vehicle (SOV) to members of the workforce (MOW). The goal of this program is to reduce SOV use for commuting to and from SNL/NM, provide MOW opportunities to reduce their transportation costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce parking congestion at SNL/NM. The CAP advocates alternative transportation strategies such as carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling, and using public transportation. The Commuter Assistance Program website is the portal for MOW to access information about the different commuting alternatives available. Additionally, the website provides information on the City of Albuquerque’s Park and Ride program, traffic conditions, and the City of Albuquerque’s Guaranteed Ride Home.
