n) NPDES Outfall ProjectDuring 1997 and 1998, 10 of 28 outfalls from the Non-KeyFacilities were eliminated from the NPDES permit. Watersfrom eight of these have been routed to the sewage plant atTA-46; discharges from the other two were eliminated. During1999, 13 outfalls from Non-Key Facilities were eliminatedfrom the NPDES permit. Responsibility for nine of the 13was transferred to Los Alamos County when the Countyassumed ownership of water supply wells, pumping stations,storage tanks, and piping. Discharges from the remainingfour outfalls were eliminated when the source activities wereeliminated and were associated with water supply wells thatwere removed from service. Coupled with the 10 outfallsdeleted during 1997 and 1998, a total of 24 of 27 outfallsfrom the Non-Key Facilities have been eliminated. AlthoughOutfall 13S is still listed as an outfall, 13S serves the sanitarywastewater treatment plant at TA-46. Instead of discharging toMortandad Canyon, however, treated waters are pumped to TA-03 for re-use and ultimate discharge through Outfall 001 intoSandia Canyon. This transfer has resulted in projected NPDESvolumes underestimating actual discharges from the existing Outfall samplingoutfall. In 2000, a new outfall, Outfall 03A-199, was added tothe NPDES permit. Although there was no discharge in 2000,2001, or 2002, Outfall 03A-199 is to accommodate the future Laboratory Data Communications Center.Currently, there are a total of 21 permitted outfalls at LANL; five of these are in Non-Key Facilities. TheSWEIS ROD projected a total of 55 LANL outfalls, 22 at Non-Key Facilities.2.16.2 Operations at the Non-Key FacilitiesNon-Key Facilities are host to seven of the eight categories of activities at LANL (DOE 1999a, pp. 2-2 through 2-9) as shown in Table 2.16.2-1. The eighth category, environmental restoration, is discussed inSection 2.17. During the 1998–2002 timeframe, no new capabilities were added to the Non-Key Facilities andnone of the eight was deleted.Table 2.16.2-1. Operations at the Non-Key FacilitiesCAPABILITYEXAMPLES1.

In 1998, workforce size increased appreciably for the Non-Key Facilities and accounted for almost all ofthe 1,415 new workers at LANL since 1995. This increase is due to the fact that activities at the Non-KeyFacilities consist largely of research and development, services, and administration. The increase in researchand development reflected the ebb and flow that is typical of funds and interest in research. Increased researchrequired more scientists, more support services, and a higher level of administration.The LANL workforce increased by 404 employees during 1999. This brought the total workforce upto 12,412 employees, or 1,061 more employees than were anticipated under the ROD. Approximately 27percent of these new employees were either JCNNM (17 percent) or PTLA (10 percent). This reflects thenew construction going on at LANL and the increased efforts in security upgrades as LANL moves forwardwith its assignments for Stockpile Stewardship and Management. Approximately 40 percent of these newemployees were regular (full-time and part-time) UC employees, of which about 40 percent were assigned tothe Non-Key Facilities.The 12,015 employees at the end of CY 2000 are 664 more employees than SWEIS ROD projectionsof 11,351. The 12,380 employees at the end of CY 2001 are 1,029 more employees than SWEIS RODprojections of 11,351. The 13,524 employees that comprise the total LANL-affiliated workforce at the end ofCY 2002 are 2,173 more employees than the SWEIS ROD projection of 11,351. SWEIS ROD projectionswere based on 10,593 employees identified for the index year (employment as of March 1996). About 60percent of this increase is in the Non-Key Facilities as a result of increases in research and development,services, and administration.The 5,243 employees in the Non-Key Facilities at the end of CY 2002 reflect an increase of 427 employeesover the 4,816 employees reported in the 2001 SWEIS Yearbook (LANL 2002i).2.16.3 Operations Data for the Non-Key FacilitiesEven though the Non-Key Facilities occupy more than half of LANL and employ more than half theworkforce, activities in these facilities generally contribute less than 20 percent of most operational effects.For example, the 534 cubic meters of LLW constituted only 7 percent of the LANL total LLW volume in2002. Also in 2002, the Non-Key Facilities generated approximately 56 percent of the total LANL chemicalwaste. Table 2.16.3-1 presents details of the operations data from 1998–2002.Radioactive air emissions from stacks at the Non-Key Facilities (290 curies in 2002) were less than a thirdof the SWEIS ROD projections. The radioactive air emissions of 1,000 curies in 2001 were slightly aboveSWEIS ROD projections. This represents off gassing from inactive facilities and their cleanup activities andrepresents less than 5 percent of the 21,700 curies projected by the SWEIS ROD.The combined flows of the sanitary waste treatment plant and the TA-03 steam plant account for about 77percent of the total discharge from Non-Key Facilities and about 73 percent of all water discharged by LANL.Section 3.2 has more detail. Operations data are summarized in Table 2.16.3-1.2.16.4 Cerro Grande Fire Effects at the Non-Key FacilitiesThe Non-Key Facilities received significant fire damage. The Cerro Grande Fire impacted 86 structuresor buildings, damaged 31 structures or buildings, and destroyed 10 structures or buildings. Like the rest ofLANL, operations were shut down during the emergency, and these programs suffered lost work time. Accesswas restricted in several of the more severely burned areas at LANL, and employees who occupied thedamaged or destroyed structures had to be housed in new locations. In addition, the fire destroyed data, workin-progress,and work production at many locations, delaying some of the programs.SWEIS Yearbook—2002 2-177
