Status of Federally Listed Threatened and Endangered Species at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Compliance with the Endangered Species Act at LANL is achieved through the implementation of the LANL Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Management Plan (HMP; LANL 2017a). This plan is a formal agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the management of endangered species and their habitats at LANL. Actions and activities approved in the HMP were reviewed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and do not require further consultations. Projects that cannot follow the HMP requirements must go through separate section 7 consultations. The controls for Endangered Species Act compliance are incorporated into an internal project review process through which all LANL projects are reviewed for environmental compliance (LANL 2017b).

Dose Assessment of Los Alamos National Laboratory-Derived Residual Radionuclides in Soils within Tract A-18-2 for Land Conveyance and Transfer Decisions

In 2017, soil sampling for radiological materials was conducted within Tract A-18-2 at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for land conveyance decisions. Measurements of radionuclides in soil samples were evaluated against a recreational use scenario, and all measurements were below screening action levels for each radionuclide. The total estimated dose was less than 1 mrem/yr (<10 μSv/yr) for a hypothetical recreational user (compared with a dose limit of 25 mrem/yr [250 μSv/yr]). Dose estimates were based on the 95% upper confidence levels for radionuclide concentrations within the Tract. Dose estimates less than 3 mrem/yr are considered to be as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), therefore no follow-up analysis was conducted. Release of this property is consistent with the requirements of DOE Order 458.1 (DOE 2013) and Policy 412 (LANL 2014).

NMED Correspondence Related to Notice of Intent for Chromium Project

Two methods of injection using a solution containing 50 kilograms (kg) of tracer are proposed for each well. Half of the tracer (25 kg) may be mixed with 3,000 gallons of potable water and delivered into a scheduled injection stream of treated groundwater as permitted in OP-1835 over a five to seven-hour period. This procedure would then be repeated on a consecutive second day. Alternatively, 5 kg of tracer may be added to each of ten 3,000-gallon tanks for a total of 30,000 gallons of tracer solution that may be injected independently of other injection flow over a period of up to five days. The permittees request that the types and masses of tracers that may be utilized per each injection well remain flexible enough to allow for one or more of the naphthalene sulfonate tracers to be substituted with a different naphthalene sulfonate. This need for flexibility is due to the availability of the tracers and any tracer listed that is designated for a given CrIN well may be interchanged with a tracer that is designated for another CrIN well, pending final NMED approval. The permittees are not allowed to introduce any new tracers and will submit a final work plan prior to each injection for each CrIN well.
