Proposal to Establish a National Environmental Research Park within the ERDA Oak Ridge Reservation
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
The purpose of this proposal is to recorranend that areas within the ERDA Oak Ridge Reservation be designated as a National Environmental Research Park (NERP). The NERP concept is intended to provide research areas, representing different biological communities throughout the United States, to assess the impact of energy-producing technologies upon environmental quality. Oak Ridge is a particularly excellent site, in that it represents the Ridge and Valley Province of the South Appalachians and has an established reputation for excellence in environmental research. The NERP at Oak Ridge will be formed by selected land and water areas within the ERDA Oak Ridge Reservation which the Environmental Sciences Division, ORNL, has used for many years. Management of the Park by the Oak Ridge Operations will ensure compatibility with ERDA needs and long-range development plans.
