The purpose of Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) environmental surveillance is to characterize radiological and nonradiological conditions of the off-site environs and estimate public doses related to these conditions, confirm estimations of public dose based on effluent monitoring data, and, where appropriate, provide supplemental data to support compliance monitoring for applicable environmental regulations. This environmental monitoring plan (EMP) is intended to document the rationale, frequency, parameters, and analytical methods for the ORR environmental surveillance program and provides information on ORR site characteristics, environmental pathways, dose assessment methods, and quality management. ORR-wide environmental monitoring activities include a variety of media including air, surface water, vegetation, biota, and wildlife. In addition to these activities, site-specific effluent, groundwater, and best management monitoring programs are conducted at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12), and the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP).

The transition to a sustainable community, and to a Resilient/Low-Carbon Built Environment (RLC) will naturally lead to lower consumption levels and a simpler waste stream, as people adopt-and the built environment enables-practices and behavior that use less energy and materials. A parallel shift in attitude may be expected, away from acquisition and accumulation of material goods as key components of personal satisfaction and fulfillment, to greater emphasis on community, family, and society as the sources of personal growth and accomplishment. This shift will have an even greater and more substantive effect on reducing energy and materials consumption.
