3.2.2 Environmental Compliance
BJC maintains various layers of oversight to ensure compliance with legal and other requirements.
The methods of evaluations ranges from independent assessments by outside parties, management
assessments conducted by functional or project organizations, and routine field walkdowns conducted by
a variety of functional and project personnel. Management and independent assessments are performed in
accordance with Management Assessments, BJC-PQ-1420, and Independent Assessments, BJC-PQ-1401.
Assessments are scheduled in accordance with BJC-PQ-1420 on the BJC Assessments Share Point Site.
Records are maintained for all formal assessments and audits. Issues identified in assessments are handled
as described in Sect. 4.5.3.
In addition, external assessments and regulatory inspections are performed by the DOE and
regulatory agencies such as the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
As required by DOE Order 450.1A, an independent assessment of BJC’s EMS in accordance with
Independent Assessments, BJC-PQ-1401, will be conducted every three years. In addition, during years
when an independent assessment is not conducted, a management assessment of the EMS program will be
performed in accordance with Management Assessments, BJC-PQ-1420. Also, routine functional
environmental compliance management assessments evaluate the various elements of ISO 14001.
Independent and management assessments are scheduled in advance and the schedule is maintained on a
SharePoint Site on BJC’s intranet.
Results of all assessments are provided to management and CAs are tracked in I/CATS in accordance
with Issues Management Program, BJC-PQ-1210 as described in detail in Sect. 4.5.3.
