Steering Committee Update
Last Updated: August 2026
The purpose of baseline environmental characterization is to document existing environmental conditions before facility operations begin so that future monitoring results can be compared against those pre-operation conditions. Construction activities and baseline characterization are not necessarily the same milestone, and the appropriate timing depends on the type of environmental media being evaluated and the purpose of the monitoring.
In Progress
Current Phase: Steering Committee developing baseline environmental monitoring recommendations.
Target Outcome: Complete baseline environmental characterization before facility begins operations to support future environmental comparisons.
Next Milestone: Publication of the Steering Committee’s recommended baseline environmental monitoring framework.
