Department of Energy—Office of Legacy Management

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM) is committed to managing its responsibilities associated with the legacy of World War II and the Cold War. This legacy includes radioactive and chemical waste, environmental contamination, and hazardous material at over 100 sites across the USA. DOE has taken major steps toward fulfilling commitments to clean up this environmental legacy by successfully implementing an accelerated environmental remediation program.
