This paper discusses the radiological environmental monitoring program for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization project which is being conducted to provide data in support of fulfilling DOE Orders, and requirements stipulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Data are being collected concerning many different environmental media such as, air, biota, soil, and water. Additionally, ambient levels of radiation and radon are also being monitored. The variations in the environmental parameters being measured, whose bounds will be characterized by the preoperational studies, will serve as a background in determining whether any impacts occur to the environment during site characterization and beyond, if the site is selected as a repository. The program also provides data necessary to estimate an hypothesized offsite dose to the public.
