Environmental Information Center
In 1993, the
United States Department of Energy (DOE) opened
a public Environmental Information Center (EIC)
to provide greater accessibility for residents
interested in learning more about DOE's
environmental management
activities being conducted at the Portsmouth
Gaseous Diffusion Plant. A reading room is
available for residents who wish to review
material at the center, while copies of
documents at the EIC can be reproduced free of
charge for the public. (Note: Some charges and
restrictions may apply based on total volume).
Document Categories
The EIC contains
public copies of major document categories
(Administrative Records and Information
Repository) as specified by current
environmental regulations regarding federal
facilities.
The Administrative Records and Information
Repository serve as vehicles for public
participation, meaning these documents are made
available to the public for review so members of
the community can be better informed and comment on response actions
and corrective remedies being taken at the
plant.
1. Administrative Records
The Administrative Records consist of
environmental restoration documents relied upon
to make cleanup decisions and are therefore
subject to judicial review.
These records include the following documents.
¨
Project work plans
¨
Facility investigation reports
¨
Corrective Measures Study Reports
¨
Corrective Measures Implementation Reports
¨
Comments during Public Comment Periods
¨
Validated Sampling Data
¨
Preferred Plans/Decision Documents
¨
Assessment Reports
2.
Information Repository
The Information Repository consists of
additional documents that provide background
information or reference materials on the
plant's Environmental Management Program but are
not relied upon to make the cleanup decisions.
Besides general environmental documents in the
Information Repository, other documents may
include the following.
¨
Fact sheets
¨
Reports on Site
Activities
¨
Department of Energy
Plans and Reports
¨
Regulations and
Guidelines
¨
News Clips on the
Plant Cleanup Program

Information
The U.S. Department of Energy announced in May
2009 that the EIC was changing locations to
better serve the general public. Moving just
down the hallway to a larger office location
within the Ohio State University Endeavor Center
in Piketon, Ohio (located on State Route 32, two
miles east of U.S. Route 23), the EIC is now
located in Room 207 directly across from the
elevator and stairway. Regular hours remain the
same: Mondays and Tuesdays 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and
Wednesdays and Thursdays 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The
EIC is closed on Fridays. After-hour
appointments can be arranged by calling the EIC
at 740-289-8898.
The new contact information for the EIC is:
