The U.S. Department
of Energy is strongly confident in
its assessments of future repository
safety. However, we are still collecting
and analyzing additional information.
The Yucca Mountain Project places a high priority on protecting
the environment. This is not only because it is the right
thing to do, but we must also comply with a multitude
of environmental laws and
regulations. Many experienced and dedicated environmental
scientists work on the Project to ensure we protect the
environment and comply with those laws and regulations.
With our environmental protection programs, we work to
eliminate or reduce potential impacts of Project activities
to the land, air, water, plants, animals, and cultural
resources. Our work involves properly managing environmental
matters, complying with laws and regulations, and continually
improving our overall environmental protection efforts.
