OSTI ID:7148247

This report presents information pertaining to environmental activities conducted during calendar year 1991 at the US Department of Energy's Grand Junction Projects Office (DOE-GJPO) facility in Colorado. Environmental activities conducted at the GJPO facility during 1991 included those associated with environmental compliance, site remediation, off-site dose modeling, and radiological and nonradiological monitoring. Environmental compliance activities encompassed work performed to comply with federal and state laws and regulations. The state of Colorado permitted 46 well installations (installation occurred in previous years), air emissions from several sources on the facility, and remedial action activities associated with uranium-mill-tailings removal from the facility. Site remediation activities included the removal of 110,459 tons of uranium-mill-tailings-contaminated material from the facility. The radiological and nonradiological monitoring program at the GJPO facility included monitoring of activities that generate potentially hazardous or toxic wastes and monitoring of ambient air, surface water, and ground water.
