Environmental Community Relations is a function of the LLNL Environmental Protection Department. Its mission is to provide information about LLNL environmental activities to the community. We try to be as non-technical as possible but still accurate and representative of a scientific institution. We want to communicate with you and help you understand issues you think are important.

On this web site you will find the latest LLNL environmental publications, letters, announcements of public meetings. If you have any questions please call 925-422-4599.
