Site Sustainability Plan (FY2020)

Abstract

United States Department of Energy (DOE) O 436.1, Departmental Sustainability, requires each DOE site to develop and commit to implementing an annual Site Sustainability Plan (SSP) that identifies that site's contributions toward meeting DOE sustainability goals. These sustainability goals are reinforced by Executive Order (EO) 13834, Efficient Federal Operations. Sandia personnel conduct mission activities at four primary locations: Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico (SNL/NM); SNL/California (SNL/CA), SNL/ Tonopah Test Range (SNL/TTR) in Nevada; and SNL/Kauai Test Facility (SNL/KTF) in Hawaii. Sandia personnel also conduct mission activities at other locations, Carlsbad, New Mexico; and Amarillo, Texas. Each location has unique energy, water, and transportation fuel resource management challenges. SNL/NM and SNL/CA account for most of Sandia's total energy, water, and transportation fuel use and building square footage. Therefore, although the goals and targets of this plan include all locations, sustainability activities focus predominantly on the SNL/NM and SNL/CA locations.
