SECTION I. MISSION STATEMENT

The Northern New Mexico Citizens Advisory Board’s ( NNMCAB) Environmental Monitoring, Surveillance and Remediation (EMSR)(Committee provides a citizen’s perspective to the Department of Energy (DOE) on current and future environmental remediation activities resulting from historical Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) operations. The EMSR Committee will keep abreast of DOE and LANL’s Environmental Restoration and Long Term Environmental Stewardship programs and plans. The committee will work with DOE and LANL to provide assistance in determining priorities and the best use of limited funds and time. Formal recommendations will be created when needed, and after approval, sent to the DOE for action representing the NNMCAB’s position on issues pertaining to groundwater, surface water and compliance with the New Mexico Environment Depart (NMED) Order on Consent. The EMSR committee will also work to ensure early, ongoing community access to LANL Environmental Remediation and Stewardship information and to increase community dialogue that improves the quality of the decision making process of DOE and LANL.
