60-Day Public Comment Period for SNL TAVG AOC Proposed Remedy Selection

The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) proposes to select a remedy for corrective action for the Technical Area V Groundwater (TAVG) Area of Concern (AOC) at the Sandia National Laboratory (SNL). The United States Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC (NTESS) conducted a Corrective Measures Evaluation (CME) to evaluate remedial alternatives for cleanup of contaminated groundwater and submitted their assessment in a revised CME Report to NMED on May 8, 2024. NMED is proposing this action under the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Act, NMSA 1978 §§ 74-4-1 through 74-4-17, and under the terms of the SNL Compliance Order on Consent (Consent Order), dated April 29, 2004. The TAVG AOC has been under investigation since the 1990s. Based on the information collected, NMED intends, pending public input, to select a remedy for corrective action at the TAVG AOC.
