Throughout 2023, NASA continued to make headway toward cleanup of its portion of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL). The 2023 Year in Review describes activities in the areas of groundwater and soil cleanup, demolition, and cultural resources management. NASA looks forward to a new year of significant progress as we move closer toward our goal of achieving a cleanup that is protective of the community and the natural environment.
2022 was a year of substantial progress for NASA at SSFL. During 2022, NASA completed the demolition of two remaining Bravo Test Stands and Control House and began making preparations for demolition of the Coca Test Area. NASA also made progress with the construction of two groundwater pilot studies and maintained its groundwater monitoring and cultural resource management programs.
Over the course of 2021, NASA continued to make headway in its effort to clean up its portion of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL). The 2021 Year in Review describes activities and progress made in the areas of groundwater and soil cleanup, cultural resources, demolition, and air monitoring. NASA looks forward to continued progress in 2022 as we work toward achieving a cleanup that utilizes the best science and technology and protects the health and safety of the surrounding community and the natural environment.
2020 marked a year of meaningful progress for NASA’s environmental remediation efforts at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL). The 2020 Year in Review summarizes the key accomplishments in the areas of soil and groundwater cleanup and cultural resource preservation. NASA looks forward to continue its path of progress toward achieving a safe and swift cleanup at SSFL.
In April 2019, NASA issued a Notice of Intent to conduct a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for soil cleanup at SSFL. The SEIS is an important step in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental review process, which is required to be completed before NASA can implement final soil cleanup activities.
NASA made significant progress toward groundwater cleanup in NASA-administered areas at SSFL during 2018. NASA continued its ongoing, quarterly monitoring and reporting program for groundwater. In addition, NASA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for groundwater cleanup in October. The groundwater ROD outlines and affirms NASA’s decision to proceed with the groundwater remediation strategies described in NASA’s 2014 Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The issuance of the groundwater ROD will allow NASA to begin groundwater cleanup activities as soon the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and other regulatory processes conclude.
Over the course of 2017, NASA made significant headway in its effort to clean up its portion of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) site while protecting public health and the natural environment. The 2017 Year in Review describes activities and progress made in the areas of demolition, cultural resources, soil and groundwater, and stormwater management. NASA looks forward to continuing its forward path toward a final cleanup.
NASA administers 451.2 acres in two areas of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) used historically for the research, development, and testing of rocket engines associated with programs such as Apollo and the Space Shuttle. This Year in Review is intended to present highlights from the work accomplished at SSFL over the past year as NASA moves closer to our goal of a cleanup that protects human health and the environment.
NASA continues with investigation and cleanup activities in two areas used historically for research, development and testing of rocket engines at Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL). This document provides highlights of some of NASA’s accomplishments in the past year and NASA’s ongoing commitment to communicating with neighbors and community members about progress we make.
