A joint resolution expressing the sense of Congress relative to bringing the Department of Energy defense facilities into compliance with applicable environmental laws, and for other purposes.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President's FY 1988 budget should include adequate funds for environmental cleanup at Department of Energy (DOE) sites at a level adequate to put DOE facilities in compliance with the Clean Water Act and final permits under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Expresses the sense of the Congress that DOE should: (1) accord the same priority to putting its facilities into compliance with environmental laws as it accords to meeting nuclear materials and weapons production goals; (2) provide for independent inspections by affected State agencies regarding the Department's treatment and disposal of mixed wastes that may be exempt from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulation; (3) provide for an independent examination by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of Safety Analysis Reviews of its nuclear facilities; and (4) report to the Congress regarding plans and cost estimates for bringing DOE defense facilities into compliance with environmental laws.
