+1 630-294-5171 Environmental assessment
With the help of a number of technical experts, including independent consultants assisted by Fermilab and Sanford Lab staff, the U.S. Department of Energy prepared an environmental assessment to determine what impacts LBNF and DUNE construction and operation might have on human health and environment.
Public meetings were held on June 17, 2015, in Lead, South Dakota, June 18, 2015, in Rapid City, South Dakota, and June 24, 2015, in Batavia, Illinois.
