Sustainability

EM's commitment to sustainability is evidenced by projects at the Savannah River Operations Offices with Savannah River leading the Department in its use of renewable energy.  At the Portsmouth Site, a new natural gas steam plant will reduce greenhouse emissions providing steam services to support the anticipated decontamination and decommissioning project at the former uranium enrichment facilities.  The 200 West Pump and Treat system, a new groundwater treatment plant at Hanford Site in southeast Washington State, has achieved the first Leadership for Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) “gold” certification for sustainable design.
