Children's smiles lit up a virtual classroom in South Los Angeles on June 5 when a simple, at-home chemistry experiment added a fun, new dimension to their science lessons.
For the second year, more than 30 attendees from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM) participated in a virtual exploration of USACE North Atlantic Division (NAD) FUSRAP sites.
With new faces and new outreach needs on the Navajo Nation, LM and Navajo Abandoned Mine Lands Reclamation/Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (AML/UMTRA) Department successfully re-engaged the Tribal Intergovernmental Relations Group (TIGR), which hasn’t met since 2019.
DOE LM uses a systematic screening process at its 101 sites to help better prioritize resources to ensure management protects human health and the environment, maintains regulatory compliance, addresses stakeholder concerns, and reduces long-term stewardship costs.
Have you seen some secretive, slippery, slithery, slimy salamander . . . with spots?
Spotted salamanders are considered indicators of high-quality, healthy habitats. They are members of a group called mole salamanders and spend much of their lives underground. Typically, they are spotted by people only during their late winter or early spring migration and subsequent breeding period, when they lay eggs in shallow, woodland waterholes. We hope you enjoy seeing these spots - and spotted salamanders - at LM's Fernald Preserve, Ohio, Site.
