| The Special Session on Long-term
Stewardship will address challenges facing site personnel and DOE managers
as they attempt to successfully close sites, or portions of sites, and
transition the long-term obligations to the designated long-term
stewardship entity (yet to be determined at most sites). It will provide
an opportunity for Headquarters and Field staff to describe the overall
missions and goals of the closure and long-term stewardship programs, and
address such issues as defining closure and long-term stewardship;
planning for the transition between the two activities, and implementation
efforts. Site personnel will provide insight on the challenges faced in
the field, including how to define the transition between closure and
long-term stewardship for a variety of different media types, including
residually contaminated groundwater, facilities, and contained
waste. |
