The mission of the Environmental Sciences Division (ESD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is to conduct environmental research and analyses associated with energy technology development and the interaction between man and the environment in support of US Department of Energy and ORNL goals. In support of this mission, ESD's goal is to be an international center of excellence in interdisciplinary environmental research for understanding and predicting environmental changes and for reducing risks. The plan serves as a framework and management guide for implementing actions to meet both scientific and operational objectives. These objectives include pursuing existing opportunities as well as establishing initiatives in the Division's six major programmatic areas: environmental toxicology, global environmental studies, landscape and ecosystem analysis, regulatory compliance and assessment, renewable resources, and waste research and development. Continued development of common values and objectives among research and managerial staff is also encouraged in the plan. This report summarizes the objectives, together with the issues and challenges affecting them, and outlines the specific action plans designed to achieve these goals. 3 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs.
