  4. Environmental Management/Legacy Management Transition

  5. Transition Goals • Achieve zero service disruption for critical activities • Achieve zero negative impact to closure mission or LM mission • Identify programs and activities requiring transition versus termination • Bring together separate EM and LM organizational initiatives • Identify schedule drivers and develop an action plan for each transition element • Manage actions and logic ties as a project • Actively engage stakeholders in transition • Complete transfer of functions as logically and early as possible

  6. LM Transition Approach • Establish early communications • DOE to DOE • Expand to contractor to contractor, as appropriate • Site visit by LM team • Establish transition plan that includes scope, cost, and schedule • An integrated EM–LM effort to the greatest extent possible • Flexible along the way, but firm end points • RUN THE TRANSITION AS A PROJECT!

  14. LM will be ready for the EM Closure Sites to Transfer • Post-closure work scope is generally within LM’s current capabilities, i.e., cell maintenance, ground water and surface water monitoring, and limited pump and treat. • EM and LM have agreed to the amount of funds currently expected for post-closure operation. • Management of records and information (environmental data in particular) is a significant aspect of transition and post-closure operation. • Post-closure regulatory agreements and CERCLA O&M plans are tailored to the needs of the individual sites and regulators. • Everyone needs to make the transition: post-closure operation means a greatly reduced workforce, fewer and less important decisions, and opportunity for controlled beneficial reuse.
