Exceedance Response Action (ERA) Level 2 Technical Report Update

Abstract

The Sandia National Laboratories, California (SNL/CA) site comprises approximately 410 acres and is located in the eastern portion of Livermore, Alameda County, California. The property is owned by the United States Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and is being managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC (NTESS). Operations at the SNL/CA facility consist of DOE statutory responsibilities for nuclear weapon research and design, development of energy technologies, and basic scientific research. Specific industrial activities occur in discrete buildings and include electroplating or anodizing, machine shop, permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF), and a scrap yard. This report provides an update to the ERA Level 2 Technical Report Update previously submitted in June 2022 (2022 ERA L2 Technical Report Update) for iron, aluminum, and pH. In accordance with the California’s General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Industrial Activities (IGP) Section XII.D.3.c, an ERA Level 2 Technical Report update is to be submitted with the annual report when a facility utilizing an Industrial Activity Best Management Practice (BMP) Demonstration (IABMPD) experiences additional exceedances of the numeric action levels.
