LANL News:
To accomplish our mission, Los Alamos National Laboratory generates some hazardous and mixed waste.
In November 2010, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) issued the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Hazardous Waste Facility Permit.
The Permit establishes standards for how LANL manages, stores and treats hazardous wastes on-site and for the closure and post-closure care of permitted waste management units.
The plan covers six elements
- Establishing an open working relationship with the public
- Establishing productive relationships with local tribes and pueblos
