Recent and upcoming cleanup activities at a former low-level radiation research facility and newly named Superfund site a mile south of the main University of California, Davis, campus will be discussed at a public meeting Tuesday, Dec. 6. The update meeting, part of an ongoing process that encourages community "stakeholder" involvement in the cleanup of the former Laboratory for Energy-Related Health Research, is sponsored jointly by the U.S. Department of Energy and UC Davis. Comments and questions from members of the public are welcome. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the Cabernet Room of the Silo on campus. Free parking passes will be available at the entrance to parking Lot #43. Topics to be covered include the Superfund process and introduction to representatives of government agencies involved with the cleanup, a review of recent site accomplishments, and discussion of the newly completed work plan for a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS). This step involves intensive study of the groundwater and soil to identify the extent and possible sources of contamination, and to evaluate cleanup options. Undergoing cleanup by DOE since 1990, the former LEHR site was placed on the federal Superfund list this year due to groundwater contamination and the potential for further contamination from old waste disposal areas. The 15-acre rural site was the location for more than 30 years of DOE-funded animal studies of the long-term health effects of exposure to low levels of radiation. Copies of background information on the LEHR site, along with reports and plans, are available at the reserve desk of Shields Library on campus and the reference desk of the public library in the city of Davis, 315 E. 14th St.
