1.0 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) sets forth the tasks to be performed to complete a Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) and Restoration Plan based on injuries to natural resources from the release of hazardous substances from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The objectives of the NRDA are to:

• Conduct a Type B NRDA consistent with NRDA regulations at 43 CFR §§ 11.60 – 11.84.

• Prepare a Restoration and Compensation Determination Plan consistent with 43 CFR §§ 11.81 –

11.84 (which may be part of the Report of Assessment).

• Prepare a Report of Assessment consistent with 43 CFR § 11.90.

• Prepare a Restoration Plan consistent with the 43 CFR §§ 11.92 – 11.93.

• Assist the Los Alamos Laboratory Natural Resource Trustee Council (Trustee Council) with identification and selection of early restoration projects.

• Assist the Trustee Council with conducting a public participation process for development of the

Restoration and Compensation Determination Plan and the selection of restoration projects.

• Conduct the work under this PWS as expeditiously and efficiently as possible, by for example utilizing existing data and reasonably conservative assumptions where possible.

1.1 LANL NRDA PROJECT BACKGROUND

In early 2008, the State of New Mexico, through the Office of Natural Resource Trustee (ONRT), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and several other federal and tribal entities in the LANL region re-initiated an effort to pursue a NRDA based on releases of hazardous substances from LANL. The effort was established pursuant to a memorandum of agreement (MOA) executed in June 2008. The MOA created the Trustee Council that included DOE, the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the State of New Mexico, and San Ildefonso Pueblo. Jemez Pueblo and Santa Clara Pueblo joined the Trustee Council pursuant to an amendment to the MOA executed in January 2010. In June 2013, the Trustees received notice that DOI would withdraw from membership of the Trustee Council.

The MOA was revised and amended a second time, and executed in 2013 by all remaining parties. The Trustee Council has been and continues to work cooperatively on the NRDA.

Applicable statutes and regulations include the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 USC §§ 9601 et seq.; DOI NRDA regulations, 43 CFR Part 11; the Clean Water Act, 33 USC §§ 1251 et seq.; the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 33 USC §§ 2701 et seq.; the Department of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7101 et seq.; and the New Mexico Natural Resources Trustee Act, NMSA 1978, §§ 75-7-1 et seq.

Using 43 CFR § 11.31 as guidance for implementation of a NRDA, the Trustee Council with the assistance of a technical contractor prepared a draft LANL Assessment Plan. Public comment on the draft LANL Assessment Plan is anticipated in fall 2013, and the LANL Assessment Plan is scheduled to be finalized by the Trustee Council in late 2013.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall assist the Trustee Council with developing a NRDA for injuries to natural resources from releases of hazardous substances from LANL. To meet the Objectives and Goals set forth above, the Contractor shall utilize the work already completed for Trustee Council, including the final LANL Assessment Plan. The draft Assessment Plan is expected to be ready for public comment in the fall of 2013 and will be posted electronically to the following website:

http://www.lanlnrda.org/. The Contractor shall work closely with the Trustee Council in all phases of the scope of work. The Contractor shall furnish qualified personnel, equipment, materials, and services to perform the scope of work detailed in this PWS.

2.1 Task 1: Conduct Natural Resource Damage Assessment Activities, Produce a Restoration and Compensation Determination Plan and a Report of Assessment

Utilizing the information in the LANL NRD Assessment Plan, the Contractor shall develop and implement innovative approaches to expedite the timeframe and efficiently complete the activities necessary to conduct a NRDA consistent with NRDA regulations at 43 CFR §§ 11.60 –

11.84 and to produce a Restoration and Compensation Determination Plan consistent with 43 CFR §§ 11.81 – 11.84 and a Report of the Assessment consistent with 43 CFR § 11.90.

Attachment 1 contains a list of discrete assessment activities the Trustee Council have identified to assist the contractor in identifying and quantifying the scale of natural resource injuries at

LANL.

The Contractor shall complete the following:

2.1.1 The Contractor shall develop injury quantification estimates for the different injured resources and the services they provide.

2.1.2 The Trustee Council may request to have an optional preliminary estimate of damages (PED) prepared by the Contractor. Subject to receiving specific notice to proceed, the Contractor shall prepare a PED consistent with the guidance provided at 43 CFR § 11.38. Where appropriate, Contractor will consider existing and readily available information to develop the PED. This information may include the LANL Preliminary Injury Estimates (PIEs) prepared during the LANL Assessment Planning phase. The scope of available information may not be adequate to inform Contractor regarding all subjects of the PED, such as lost Pueblo services, and it is understood that additional information gathering may be necessary as outlined in the Assessment Plan.
