NNSA announces the availability of the Draft Site-wide Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Operation of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Supplemental Stockpile Stewardship and Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS- 0348 and DOE/EIS-0236-S3) (LLNL SW/SPEIS). The Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS was prepared in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508) and the DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 1021). The Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with continuing current Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) operations and foreseeable new and/or modified operations and facilities. The Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS analyzes a Proposed Action and two alternatives; the No Action Alternative and a Reduced Operation Alternative. The No Action Alternative would continue operation of current LLNL programs in support of currently assigned missions. The Proposed Action includes operations discussed under the No Action Alternative plus new and/or expanded LLNL operations in support of reasonably foreseeable future mission requirements. The Reduced Operation Alternative includes an overall reduction of LLNL activities below the No Action Alternative level. This Notice of Availability also sets forth the dates, times, and locations for public hearings on the Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS.
