Environmental Development Plans (EDPs) are prepared by the Department of Energy (DOE) to help fulfill the Department's responsibility for thedevelopment 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. Each EDP identifies the environmental concerns and research and development necessary for assessing the potential environmental impacts and mitigating measures associated with an energy technology. Thus, to ensure that environmental, health, and safety (EHandS) considerations will be addressed adequately in the technology decisionmaking process, the EDP (1) identifies and evaluates EHandS concerns; (2) defines EHandS research and related assessments to examine or resolve the concerns; (3) provides a coordinated schedule with the technology program for required EHandS research and development; and (4) indicates the timing for Environmental Assessments, Environmental Impacts Statements, Environmental Readiness Documents, and Safety Analysis Reports.
