The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded its 2020 Federal Facility Excellence in Site Reuse Award to LM's Weldon Spring Site in Missouri. Transformed from a World War II explosives manufacturing plant and Cold War era uranium processing facility, the site now serves as an educational center, native prairie, and recreational area.
Collaborating with Navajo and Hopi governments, LM and its contractors conduct site surveillance and maintenance, as well as outreach activities, at four legacy sites on the Navajo Nation. This partnership bolsters each agency's work to protect human health and the environment.
Verification and validation data compiled by LM's Defense-Related Uranium Mines Program are used by federal and state offices to better understand abandoned uranium mine features that, in turn, helps the agencies create safeguards at abandoned mines on public lands.
Many LM and LM Strategic Partner staff members have served our country through the armed forces. Read here about their military service and how it influenced their current careers.

May is National Preservation Month. LM has long-term stewardship responsibilities at historically significant sites, such as our Berkeley, California, Site pictured here. The site includes Room 307 of Gilman Hall at the University of California. Room 307, where scientists first identified the element plutonium, is now a National Historic Landmark. Visit our website for a list of sites around the country with associated listings on the National Register of Historic Places and associated structures on the Historic American Engineering Record.
