It is likely that many or most of the activities conducted at the various U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) operations sites as decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) projects will be required to include the environmental remediation/restoration requirements and directives of specific environmental regulations [such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)] under the provisions of the Federal Facilities Compliance Act (FFCA). In the instances where facilities are required to conduct D&D activities under stringent environmental requirements, integration of these requirements into the D&D project management process and negotiations with the appropriate regulatory agencies [e.g., federal and regional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offices, as well as regional and state regulatory agencies] will be required to ensure that the objectives of the D&D program are met and that environmental compliance and restoration objectives are accomplished.
