I. Introduction The Department of Energy (DOE) is the owner and part operator of multiple facilities in Northern California. The facilities include those located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Sandia National Laboratories/California (SNUCA) and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) among other sites. Through their operations, the facilities generate hazardous waste and, thereby, are subject to the requirements of Chapter 31 of the Title 22 California Code of Regulations, Waste Minimization. The Northern California sites are primarily research and development facilities in the areas relating to national security, high-energy physics, engineering, bioscience and environmental health and safety disciplines. As mentioned above these DOE facilities are primarily research and development facilities. The hazardous wastes generated may be associated with operations that range in size from small, bench scale R&D to major maintenance and operations waste streams. Therefore, even though this document breaks down the waste streams based on California Waste Codes (CWC), the quantities of waste within one waste code category could be from many different locations and dissimilar processes. Because of the nature of the work at the sites, it is not economically feasible to try to implement source reduction measures for every process that generates a portion of the waste stream. This document identifies the processes that generate the major portion of the waste within an•identified major waste stream and reports on progress made towards source reduction. In accomplishing the mission, it is DOE's goal to eliminate waste generation and emissions giving priority to those that may present the greatest risk to human health and the environment. The following is brief description of sites subject to this document. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: LLNL is managed and operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LENS) for the DOE. LLNL includes two sites, Livermore Site (Site 200) and Site 300. The Livermore Site is located in Livermore and covers approximately one square mile in Alameda County, Site 300 is approximately ten square miles and is near the City of Tracy in San Joaquin County. LLNL was established in 1952 and employs approximately 6,300 employees and contractors. LLNL is a large quantity hazardous waste generator and operates hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities under hazardous waste treatment and storage permits at the Livermore site and site 300. LLNL also operates hazardous waste treatment units at Livermore site under the California Tiered Permit Program.
