Notice of Wetlands Involvement for Environmental Remediation at 
Argonne National Laboratory-East

AGENCY: Chicago Operations Office, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of Wetlands Involvement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: DOE proposes to conduct a Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA) corrective-action program and other environmental 
remediation activities at contaminated sites at Argonne National 
Laboratory-East (ANL-E). Two of the contaminated sites include small 
wetlands. In accordance with DOE regulations for compliance with 
floodplain and wetlands environmental review requirements (10 CFR 
1022), DOE will prepare a wetlands assessment for this proposed action. 
The wetlands assessment will be included in the environmental 
assessment being prepared for the proposed project in accordance with 
the National Environmental Policy Act.

DATES: Comments are due to the address below no later than January 22, 
1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Dr. W. S. White, NEPA 
Compliance Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, Chicago Operations 
Office, 9800 S. Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439. [phone].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Further information on this proposed action and wetlands assessment can 
be obtained from Donna Green, Document Manager, U.S. Department of 
Energy, Argonne Group, 9800 S. Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439. (630) 
252-2264.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed action would involve two small 
palustrine emergent wetlands. One of the wetlands is 0.004 hectares 
(0.0016 acres); the other is 0.036 hectares (0.015 acres). Contaminant 
hazards at these wetlands would be reduced by excavation, containment, 
or phytoremediation.
