Brookhaven National Laboratory 2010 Five-Year Review

The U.S. Department of Energy has completed a Five-Year Review for the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) site, as required by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This review serves to ensure that the implementation and performance of the selected cleanup remedies continue to be effective in protecting human health and the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency concurs with the protectiveness determinations as reported within this Five-Year Review. This is the second site-wide Five-Year Review of all the remediation work performed at the BNL site. This includes remediation of groundwater contamination on and off of BNL property, excavation and disposal of contaminated soils and river sediments, removal of above- and below-ground storage tanks, capping of landfills, decommissioning activities and long-term surveillance and maintenance at the former Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor (BGRR) and High Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR).  Land-use restrictions and institutional controls are in place to ensure that any residual contamination left in place is not dispersed and does not adversely affect human health or the environment.

These files are presented below in two ways: one large file containing all information, or a series of smaller files.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
