Applied Cost Engineering Team - In the present
environment of budgetary constraints and increased scrutiny from Congress and
stakeholders, the Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management (EM)
program has been challenged to reduce and control costs. The Environmental
Management (EM) Applied Cost Engineering (ACE) Team was established to promote
continuous cost improvements through dissemination of cost engineering tools,
methods, techniques, best practices, and lessons learned across the EM complex.
The Office of Project Management serves as a champion for this effort. |

Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility Federal Review Group (LFRG)
- On December 19, 1996, the Deputy Assistant Secretaries for Waste Management
and Environmental Restoration in the Office of Environmental Management
established the Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility Federal Review Group (LFRG)
to develop and implement a review process for LLW disposal facility Performance
Assessments and Composite Analyses. The LFRG was chartered to provide
Environmental Management the information necessary to determine that LLW
disposal facilities are designed, constructed, operated, maintained, and closed
in a manner that protects the public and environment. The establishment of the
LFRG is an important element of DOE's response to Defense Nuclear Facilities
Safety Board 94-2 and meeting the requirements of DOE Order 435.1, Radioactive
Waste Management. |
