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/Califomia (SNL)CA) 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 (CCR), 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 associated with operations that range in size from small, bench scale Research .& Development 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 (LLNS) 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 and Alameda County. LLNL was established in 1952 and employs approximately 7,500 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.

It is located in the Berkeley hills in Alameda County in the City of Berkeley. LBNL was established in 1931; it employs approximately 2,300 permanent employees, 590 students, 530 post -doctorates and many visiting scholars. LBNL is a large quantity hazardous waste generator and operates hazardous waste storage facilities under hazardous waste treatment and storage permits. LBNL also operates hazardous waste treatment units under the California Tiered Permit Program. Contact Person: Nancy Rothermich, Waste Management Group Leader Phone Number: (510) 486-4644 EPA ID 8 CA4890008986 The address is: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory One Cyclotron Road Berkeley, CA 94720 SIC Code: 9611,8733 NAICS: 54171 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory: SLAC is managed and operated by Stanford University under contract with DOE. The site occupies 426 acres and is located in the City of Menlo Park in San Mateo County. Originally a particle physics research center, SLAC is now a multi-purpose laboratory for astrophysics, photon science, accelerator technology and particle physics research. SLAC was established in 1962 and employs 1,600 full-time employees. It is recognized internationally with 3,000 visiting scientists from the United States universities, national laboratories, industrial concerns and foreign countries. SLAC is a large quantity hazardous waste generator (a 90 -day waste accumulation facility) and operates hazardous waste treatment units under the California Tiered Permit Program. SLAC is not an operator of a treatment, storage, and disposal facility. September 1, 2011 SB 14 Report I September 1, 2011 SB 14 Report
