Restoration

The Environmental Restoration Group conducts cleanup activities to manage and restore areas of the facility that have been impacted by releases of chemicals from historic operations or spills.

Projects conducted by the group include investigating geology and hydrogeology, identifying chemical impacts, conducting groundwater monitoring, constructing and operating groundwater treatment systems, excavating and properly disposing of chemically impacted soil, and restoring environmental habitat when removed for the cleanup.

The group works closely with regulatory agencies to conduct its work including the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, which is the administering State regulatory agency overseeing the Environmental Restoration Project at SLAC.
