Our 2006 LANL Discharge Report (4.8 MB pdf) discusses the historic and current toxic discharges from LANL, including a wide range of radionuclide, metal, and chemical pollutants. Three major toxins are of particular importance: hexavalent chromium in the regional drinking water aquifer; PCBs in soils on LANL property, in surrounding canyons and streams, and in fish tissue from samples taken in the Middle Río Grande watershed; and perchlorate detected in the regional aquifer. There are significant concerns regarding the terms and conditions of all three permits under which LANL has coverage and the report makes general and specific recommendations for addressing both on-going and historic toxic discharges at LANL.
Our Three Year Strategic Plan presents a streamlined statement on the priorities of the organization for the next three years. This document is the fruit of an Advisory Council retreat held in March 2003.
