The INL Oversight Environmental Surveillance Program (ESP) is conducted at locations on the INL, on the boundaries of the INL, and at distant locations to the INL in accordance with accepted monitoring procedures and management practices. This program is designed to provide the people of the state of Idaho with independently evaluated information about the impacts of the Department of Energy's (DOE) activities in Idaho.

 

The ESP conducts terrestrial (soil and milk) monitoring and verification to provide an indication as to the long-term deposition and migration of contaminants in the environment, and to provide independent verification of DOE’s analytical measurement of terrestrial variables.
