Summary
This report documents the environmental monitoring program conducted at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) in 1977. Data and interpretation show that radiation and radioactivity in the environment as a result of LASL operations were at levels well below applicable U.S. Department of Energy guidelines. The radiation doses attributable to LASL operations potentially received by members of the public were small fractions of naturally present background radiation. Data on non-radioactive releases from LASL operations were collected and compared, where appropriate, to federal and state standards. Eflluents from several sanitary sewage-treatment facilities exceeded discharge permit requirements. The chemical quality of some surface and shallow ground waters is influenced by LASL effluents. The quality of the municipal water supply from the deep ground-water aquifer has not been affected by LASL operations and met all applicable standards. Results of several special studies provide understanding and documentation of certain unique environmental conditions in the LASL environs.
