Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Surveillance and Protection Section within the Office of Environmental and Health Protection at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is responsible for the development and implementation of an environmental program to (1) ensure compliance with all federal, state, and Department of Energy (DOE) reporting requirements to quantitatively demonstrate prevention, control, and abatement of environmental pollution; (2) monitor the adequacy of containment and effluent controls; and (3) assess impacts of releases from ORNL facilities on the environment. Environmental monitoring, as defined by Draft DOE Order 5400.6, consists of two major activities: effluent monitoring and environmental surveillance. Effluent monitoring is the collection and analysis of sample or measurements of liquid and gaseous effluents. Environmental surveillance is the collection and analysis of samples, or direct measurements, of air, water, soil, foodstuff, biota, and other media from DOE sites and their environs. Monthly or quarterly summaries are presented in this report for each media sampled. All data are rounded to two significant digits. The summary tables generally give the number of samples collected during the period and the maximum, minimum, average, and standard error of the mean (SE) values of parameters for which determinations were made.
