Environmental Compliance Plan

DOE-STD-6003-96

a. details Program Manager quarterly reporting requirements,

b. documents progress in implementation of mitigation measures required by the MAP,

c. determines whether the measures are adequately reducing or eliminating adverse

environmental impacts,

d. establishes procedures that prepare NEPA review and approval prior to implementa-

tion for unforeseen activities not addressed in the fusion facility EIS, and

e. is updated as required to accommodate changes to the MAP from unforeseen

activities.

3.3.1.2 Environmental Compliance Plan

Each fusion facility will develop an Environmental Compliance Plan that describes the

method by which a particular fusion facility complies with applicable environmental regulatory

requirements. This includes addressing Federal, state, and local environmental statutes. While

this guidance document provides a compilation of environmental requirements potentially appli-

cable to fusion facilities, the Environmental Compliance Plan provides guidance on how the

program managers can meet those requirements.

The Plan describes the program's understanding of environmental requirements for the

preconstruction and construction phases of the fusion facility. The Plan is updated periodically to

reflect results of periodic consultation with the appropriate Federal and state agencies and

affected Indian tribes.

The Environmental Compliance Plan consists of five separate sections: Permits Require-

ments, Monitoring Requirements (Chapter IV of DOE Order 5400.1), Pollution Prevention

Requirements, Training Requirements, and Site Unique Requirements.

3.3.1.3 OSHA Compliance Plan

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has instituted a series of

requirements that establish a level of safety and safety assurance. These requirements, those

promulgated by state and local regulators, and internal DOE requirements published in DOE

Orders must be followed. The OSHA program encompasses the protection of workers, the

public, and property from the hazards associated with the construction, operation and mainte-

nance, and decommissioning of a facility.

The program incorporates four separate disciplines: industrial safety, industrial hygiene,

fire protection, and radiation protection. Additionally, the program requires that emergency pro-

cedures are in place to mitigate the impact of accidents that threaten the health and safety of

the facility occupants, personnel in the immediate areas surrounding the facility, or the public.
