These two reports summarize pollution prevention opportunity assessments conducted jointly by EPA and DOE at the Geochemistry Laboratory and the Manufacturing and Fabrication Repair Laboratory at the Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) facility (PB--93-146868) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as part of EPA's Waste Reduction Evaluation At Federal Sites (WREAFS) Program. The assessments followed the general format of the Facility Pollution Prevention Guide (PB92-213206) and resulted in a number of pollution prevention options at both of the waste generating activities. While the two Laboratories selected generate only small volumes of waste, the significance of this project was in conducting a joint pollution prevention opportunity assessment with DOE and demonstrating the procedure with DOE's waste minimization network (Min Net). This report summarizes the Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessment (PPOA) performed for SNL's Geochemistry Lab. The major focus of the assessment was identification of pollution prevention opportunities within research project design and implementation activities. Preliminary review of the lab's operations revealed these larger issues as the best opportunities for pollution prevention.
