METC's environmental management program covers the treatment and disposal of all wastewater generated at METC; the disposal of solid and hazardous waste generated by METC; and the monitoring of surface water, groundwater, and air quality in the surrounding area. In addition, technical assistance was provided in these areas to several offsite projects, which includes the Laramie Waste Management Project. Significant strides were made toward implementing the Wastewater Management Plan. Major accomplishments include completion of the interim upgrade of METC's existing wastewater treatment facilities, the preliminary design of a new wastewater pretreatment facility for METC, and the establishment of a groundwater monitoring program for the closing of METC's industrial waste pond. The safety program at METC has been expanded to meet the needs of a growing number of projects and personnel and to provide broad safety analysis as test equipment and controls become more complicated. The Process Safety and Environment Committee and the Site Safety Committee are also utilized to respond to onsite and offsite safety needs. In response to an increased emphasis on health hazards, the industrial hygiene program has expanded. The comprehensive program includes workplace health management, periodic inspections, exposure evaluations, chemical inventories, and respiratory protection. An effort was launched to consolidate information from work in the environment, safety, and occupational health and medical areas. A central filing system was developed for all ES and H documents. In addition, a project was initiated that would develop an ES and H Data Base for tracking and manipulating data and information.
