A lack of funding for comprehensive hazardous-waste cleanup at Los Alamos National Laboratory required by a 2005 consent order could expose the lab’s operator and the Dept. of Energy to a daily fine of $487,000 under federal law, if a non-profit group’s lawsuit succeeds.
The Los Alamos County Nature Center, a collaboration between Los Alamos County and the local Pajarito Environmental Education Center, is a back-to-basics yet pioneering project in the heart of the New Mexico wilderness and the winner of ENR Southwest’s Project of the Year award.
