Providing Environmental Oversite and Monitoring at the INEL

Samenvatting

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) intends to negotiate and award on a noncompetitive basis Grant No. DE-FG07-96ID13373 to the State of Idaho, Department of Health and Welfare (Recipient). The award has an estimated overall total value of $15,000,000, of which DOE's share will be 100%. The award will allow the Recipient to ensure the DOE operations are fully accountable in the areas of environmental protection, public health, and safety. The State and DOE entered into an agreement in principle to assure the citizens of Idaho that health, safety, and the environment are being protected through DOE and State actions. This grant will provide funding to the State by DOE to carry out various environmental oversight and monitoring activities. A similar past agreement was very successful; therefore, DOE and Idaho determined to enter into a similar agreement for another five years.
