Center for Independent Environmental Assessment
In May 1998, the Center for Independent Environmental Assessment (CIEA) was established in the Life Sciences Division at ORNL. The mission of the CIEA is to apply Life Sciences Division resources and experience to provide independent, consistent, and state-of-the-art technical assessments in support of environmental pollutant remedial action. Technical support activities of the Center are aimed at independent designation/inclusion of potentially contaminated sites for remedial action, independent confirmation of cleanup following remedial action, and independent technical oversight and evaluation of all aspects of remedial action operations. The Center consists of staff from the Assessment Technology and Environmental Technology Sections in the Life Sciences Division and has capabilities and experience in hydrology, risk assessment, pollutant detection, geology, indoor air quality, toxicology, pollutant modeling and transport, and regulations. The CIEA also has a full complement of analytical, field survey, and pollutant assessment capabilities to detect, sample, and analyze any type of radiological and non-radiological environmental pollutant.
