Environmental Development Plans (EDPs) are prepared by the Department of Energy to help fulfill the Department's responsibility for the development of environmentally acceptable energy technologies. The EDP provides a common basis for planning, managing, and reviewing all environmental aspects of the energy programs under DOE's jurisdiction. The EDP is timed to precede key technology program decisions as the technology moves from the exploratory development stage to an engineering development or technology demonstration phase. To ensure that environmental, health, and safety (EH and S) considerations will be addressed adequately in the technology decision-maing process, the EDP: (1) identifies and evaluates EH and S concerns; (2) defines EH and S research and related assessments to examine or resolve the concerns; (3) provides a coordinated schedule with the technology program for required EH and S research and development; and (4) indicates the timing for Environmental Assessments, Environmental Impact Statements, Environmental Readiness Documents, and Safety Analysis Reports. The initial EDP for Energy Storage Systems (DOE/EDP-0015) was published in March 1978. This EDP provides a substantial updating of the 1978 document. The EDP is being distributed so that everyone having interests and responsibilities with respect to Energy Storage Systems may have the opportunity to review and provide suggested changes for future updates.
