PREFACE
As an operating unit of the U.S. Department of Energy, it is the policy and practice of the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project to conduct its operations in a safe and environmentally sound manner. Integration of environmental programs into work activities is also required by the Integrated Safety Management System under DOE Order 5400.4, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act Requirements, and the U.S. Department of Energy has made it clear that protection of the environment and the public is of paramount importance.
In accordance with DOE Order 5400.1, General Environmental Protection Program, and DOE Order 231.1, Environment, Safety and Health Reporting, the status of the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project environmental program has been summarized in this annual Site Environmental Report to characterize performance, confirm compliance with environmental requirements, and highlight significant programs and efforts during calendar year 2001.
