The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Environmental Management and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) are preparing the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the West Valley Site. DOE and NYSERDA are being assisted by a team of contractors led by SC&A, Inc., in the preparation of the SEIS. This website is hosted by SC&A for DOE and NYSERDA.

The Office of Environmental Management   within DOE is responsible for the risk reduction and cleanup of the environmental legacy of the Nation's nuclear weapons program, one of the largest, most diverse, and technically complex environmental programs in the world. In addition to its emphasis on site cleanup and closures, the office is also focusing on longer-term activities required for the completion of the cleanup program. These include:

• Constructing and operating facilities to treat radioactive liquid tank waste into a safe, stable form to enable ultimate disposition.


• Securing and storing nuclear material in a stable, safe configuration in secure locations to protect national security.


• Transporting and disposing of transuranic and low-level wastes in a safe and cost-effective manner to reduce risk.

The Office of Environmental Management is the DOE office implementing this task for the West Valley Site, with local support from the West Valley Site Office   in Ashford, New York.

NYSERDA   offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, use renewable energy, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. On behalf of the State of New York, NYSERDA holds title to the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC). NYSERDA’s West Valley Site Management Program   addresses WNYNSC’s environment management challenges by implementing sound environmental, health and safety, and technical policies, and working to ensure that DOE honors its obligations under the West Valley Demonstration Project Act for the cleanup and long-term care of the site.

NYSERDA also manages New York State’s responsibilities at West Valley, including monitoring and maintaining the State-Licensed Disposal Area, the 15-acre shut-down disposal area. NYSERDA manages property surrounding the West Valley Demonstration Project site.
