Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7148189· OSTI ID:7148189

Sandia National Laboratories at Livermore, California, is located 65 km (50 miles) southeast of San Francisco midway between the Pacific Ocean and the San Joaquin Valley. Sandia conducts various research activities related to Department of Energy interests which have the potential for release of hazardous materials or radionuclides to the environment. A strict environmental control program places maximum emphasis on limiting releases. The environmental monitoring program conducted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and augmented by Sandia is designed to measure the performance of the environmental controls. The program includes analysis of air, water, soil, vegetation, sewer effluent, ground water, and foodstuffs for various toxic, hazardous, or radioactive materials. Based on these studies, the releases of materials of concern at Sandia during 1988 were well below applicable Department of Energy standards and in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations. 11 refs., 2 figs., 12 tabs.
