Environmental audit of the Southwestern Power Administration Springfield Area Facilities
On June 27, 1989, the Secretary of Energy announced a 10-point initiative to strengthen environmental protection within the US Department of Energy (DOE). The Office of Environment, Safety and Health (EH) has established a program within the Office of Environmental Audit, EH-24, to conduct multidisciplinary environmental audits at DOE's operating facilities. The initial audits in this program are designed to gather baseline information on environmental compliance and management at facilities that have not undergone a DOE Headquarters Environmental Survey or Tiger Team Assessment and are not expected to be scheduled for a Tiger Team Assessment through Fiscal Year 1992. The objective of the Environmental Audit is to provide the Secretary with information on the compliance status of DOE facilities with regard to environmental requirements, root causes for noncompliance, adequacy of DOE environmental management programs, and response actions to address the identified problem areas. This document contains the findings identified during the Environmental Audit of Southwestern Power Administration, conducted from March 18 to 29, 1991. Specifically, the audit included representative facilities in Southwestern's East District, including the Springfield Facility; Springfield, Cartage, Table Rock, Nixa, and Norfork Substations; and Neosho Switching Station. 3 figs., 13 tabs.
