Evolution in Cloud Population Statistics of the MJO. From AMIE Field Observations to Global-Cloud Permitting Models final report Version 1

Methods of convective/stratiform precipitation classification and surface rain rate estimation based on the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program cloud radar measurements were developed and evaluated. Simultaneous and collocated observations of the Ka-band ARM zenith radar (KAZR), two scanning precipitation radars (NCAR S-PolKa and Texas A&M University SMART-R), and surface precipitation during the DYNAMO/AMIE field campaign were used. The motivation of this study is to apply the unique long-term ARM cloud radar observations without accompanying precipitation radars to the study of cloud lifecycle and precipitation features under different weather and climate regimes.

Environmental Baseline Survey for Proposed Land Use Permit Modification for Expansion of the Dynamic Explosive Test Site (DETS) 9940 Main Complex Parking Lot.

The approach was to perform a document search, supplemented by a visual site inspection, to identify potential environmental contamination associated with the property. Factors evaluated included hazardous substances; petroleum products and derivatives; environmental restoration sites; areas of concern; storage tanks; oil/water separators; grease traps; wash racks; waste tanks; pesticides; military munitions/ordnance; medical or bio-hazardous waste; radioactive waste; solid/municipal waste; indoor air quality; groundwater; wastewater treatment, collection, and disposal/discharge; drinking water quality; utilities; asbestos; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); radon; lead-based paint; cultural resources; floodplains; and natural/biological resources.

Summary of Remediated and Unremediated Nitrate Salt Surrogate Testing in Support of the Waste Treatment Permit Application to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED)

The inadvertent creation of transuranic waste carrying hazardous waste codes D001 and D002 requires the treatment of the material to eliminate the hazardous characteristics and allow its eventual shipment and disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). This report briefly summarizes the surrogate testing that was done in support of our understanding of this waste form.

A Review of the Environmental Impacts for Marine and Hydrokinetic Projects to Inform Regulatory Permitting: Summary Findings from the 2015 Workshop on Marine and Hydrokinetic Technologies, Washington, D.C.

In 2014 and 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy initiated efforts to develop and implement technology- and application-focused marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) workshops to share the global experience and knowledge base on evolving MHK technologies, observed and not-observed impacts, monitoring and measurement methods, and regulatory needs. The resulting MHK Regulator Workshops engaged resource managers and other decision makers at key regulatory organizations, scientists, researchers, facilitators, and technical experts and provided an opportunity to examine the risks of single-device and small-scale deployments, explore what can be learned and observed from single devices and small-scale arrays, and consider requirements for projects at varying scales of deployment. Experts and stakeholders identified key remaining information gaps. Initial discussions focused on differentiating between monitoring required for single or small-scale deployments and MHK impact research that, although important, goes beyond what is feasible or should be needed to meet specific project regulatory requirements but is appropriate for broader research and development. Four areas of identified potential environmental impacts provided the focus for the workshop: acoustic output impacts, electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions, physical interactions, and environmental effects of MHK energy development on the physical environment. Discussions also focused on the regulatory process and experience, adaptive management, industry drivers, and lessons that can be learned from the wind energy industry. The discussion was set in the context of the types of MHK technologies that are currently proposed or planned in the United States. All presentations and the following discussions are summarized in this document.

Report Viewgraphs for IC project: Fully-coupled climate simulations with an eddy-permitting ocean component

Two sets of simulations were performed within this allocation: 1) a 12-year fully-coupled experiment in preindustrial conditions, using the CICE4 version of the sea-ice model; 2) a set of multi-decadal ocean-ice-only experiments, forced with CORE-I atmospheric fields and using the CICE5 version of the sea-ice model. Results from simulation 1) are presented in Figures 1-3, and specific results from a simulation in 2) with tracer releases are presented in Figure 4.

Discharge Permit-1845 Quarterly Status Report July 2018

Trichloroethene (TCE) and nitrate have been identified as constituents of concern in groundwater at the Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico (SNL/NM) Technical Area (TA)-V Groundwater (TAVG) Area of Concern (AOC) based on detections above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maximum contaminant level (MCL) in samples collected from monitoring wells. The EPA MCLs and the State of New Mexico drinking water standards for TCE and nitrate are 5 micrograms per liter and 10 milligrams per liter (as nitrogen), respectively.

NPDES Permit No. NM0028355, Final Report for DQA Study 38

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) kicked off Discharge Monitoring Report-Quality Assurance (DMR-QA) Study 38 on March 1, 2018. The study was concluded on July 6, 2018. DMR-QA Study 38 results is included in Enclosure 1 and include the results for New Mexico Water Testing Laboratory, GEL, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Pacific Eco Risk. Non-acceptable results are noted and a corrective action plan is being developed to address deficiencies associated with the testing and will be submitted once completed.

Los Alamos National Laboratory 2018 Monitoring Season for storm water and atmospheric deposition samples from Bandelier National Monument under Permit # BAND-2018-SCI-0006 - 2018 Monitoring Season Summary

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) completed the 2018 monitoring season for a multi-year monitoring project to characterize background/baseline conditions around and distal to the Pajarito Plateau, Northern New Mexico. The following media were included in the 2018 monitoring season: precipitation, storm water, and atmospheric deposition. Data generated in this study will be used to characterize and quantify the impacts to water quality from natural background sediments and atmospheric deposition of persistent organic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs]. Details specific to 2018 monitoring season are presented below.
