| Royal Demolition Explosives (RDX) Characterization Campaign | This campaign includes: 1) potential interim measures or surface activities to prevent further migration of RDX and 2) characterization of the intermediate/regional groundwater through well installation, tracer studies and source control necessary to conduct a corrective measures evaluation.

| Supplemental Investigation Reports Campaign | This campaign includes preparation and submission of ten supplemental investigation reports and, where appropriate, submission of requests for Certificates of Completion. Previous investigations were conducted for ten aggregate areas and the results were reported in Investigation Reports (IR). Following submittal of these IRs, NMED updated its position on defining nature and extent of contamination. Therefore, the data for aggregate areas, where IRs have already been submitted, will be reassessed to determine if that data documents the nature and extent of contamination for SWMUs and AOCs in each of the ten aggregate areas and whether each SWMU or AOC poses an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment. These aggregate areas include the following: • S-Site Aggregate Area. (Submitted) (SWMUs/AOCs: 62) • Potrillo and Fence Canyons Aggregate Areas. (Submitted) (SWMUs/AOCs: 15) • Threemile Canyon Aggregate Area. (Submitted) (SWMUs/AOCs: 19) • TA-49 Inside the Nuclear Environmental Site Boundary. (SWMUs/AOCs: 9) • TA-49 Outside the Nuclear Environmental Site Boundary. (SWMUs/AOCs: 3) • Cañon de Valle TA-14. (SWMUs/AOCs: 20) • North Ancho Canyon Aggregate Area. (SWMUs/AOCs: 2) • Lower Sandia Canyon Aggregate Area. (SWMUs/AOCs: 16) • Upper Cañada del Buey Aggregate Area (SWMUs/AOCs: 48) • Mortandad Canyon Aggregate Area (Submitted) (SWMUs/AOCs: 28) |

| TA-21 D&D and Cleanup Campaign | This campaign includes the removal and remediation of buried waste lines and contaminated soils to be performed as part of the DP Site Aggregate Area investigation. Demolition of facilities and slabs are not part of the Consent Order and will be executed under DOE requirements; the facilities to be demolished include the DP West slabs and the Radiological Liquid Waste Treatment Facility, TA-21-257, enabling access to the SWMUs and AOCs. (SWMUs/AOCs: 41) | In Progress |
| RDX Remedy Campaign | Building on the RDX Characterization Campaign, following NMED’s statements of basis and selection of a remedy, this campaign includes implementation of the remedy. (SWMUs/AOCs: 0) | Not Started |
| Known Cleanup Sites (Above SSLs) Campaign | This campaign includes soil removal from twenty sites that previous investigations identified have hazardous contaminants at concentration that exceed the target risk evels of 10⁻⁵ lifetime excess cancer risk for carcinogenic Contaminants and a hazard index (HI) of 1 for non-carcinogenic Contaminants. (SWMUs/AOCs: 20) |

| Material Disposal Areas A and T Remedy Campaign (MDAs –A & -T Remedy) | This campaign includes completion of additional characterization of the pit and trench wastes at MDA-A and performance of moisture monitoring at MDA-T including installation of instrumentation of boreholes, application of water to bermed area, and monitoring of boreholes for moisture to conduct corrective measures evaluations for both MDA-A and MDA-T. These CMEs will result in NMED’s statements of basis and selections of a remedy, and then the campaign will implement the remedies. (SWMUs/AOCs: 26 SWMUs (plus 1 for MDA-A and 3 for MDA-T)) | In Progress |
| Chromium Final Remedy Campaign | Building on the Chromium IM and Characterization Campaign, following NMED’s statements of basis and selection of a remedy, this campaign includes implementation of the remedy. (SWMUs/AOCs: 0) | Not Started |
| Southern External Boundary Campaign | This campaign includes, as appropriate, initial investigations, remediation of media above soil screening levels, risk assessments, and certificates of completion for three aggregate areas. Aggregate Areas have generally been investigated from north to south across the Laboratory. These three areas are in the border area between the Laboratory, Bandelier, and White Rock populated areas. This campaign shall be conducted in the following areas (SWMUs/AOCs: 60): • Chaquehui Canyon Aggregate Area Initial Investigation • South Ancho Canyon Aggregate Area Initial Investigation • Lower Water Canyon Aggregate Area Initial Investigation • North Ancho Canyon Aggregate Area Phase II • Potrillo/Fence Canyon Aggregate Area Phase II |

| Material Disposal Area C Remedy Campaign (MDA-C Remedy) | This campaign includes implementation of a remedy resulting from NMED’s statement of basis and selection of a remedy derived from a corrective measure evaluation previously submitted. This campaign will include development of a corrective measures implementation plan, implementation of the remedy, and development of the corrective measures report. (SWMUs/AOCs: 1) | In Progress |
| Sandia Canyon Watershed Campaign | This campaign includes completion of several investigations that are already in progress in the central portion of the Laboratory for certain Aggregate Areas. This is an approximately 2-year campaign, and it includes the following (SWMUs/AOCs: 49): • Upper Sandia Canyon Aggregate Areas Phase II Investigations • Lower Sandia Canyon Aggregate Areas Phase II Investigations • Upper Mortandad Canyon Aggregate Area Phase II Investigation • Upper Cañada del Buey Aggregate Area Phase II Investigation |
