The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control publishes annual Environmental Data Reports from the Environmental Surveillance and Oversight Program. This program supports and compliments the agency’s comprehensive regulatory program at the Savannah River Site (SRS) by focusing on activities not supported or covered through the normal regulatory framework. Their primary function is to evaluate the effectiveness of SRS environmental monitoring activities. The team monitors air, groundwater, drinking water, surface water, soil and sediment, milk, vegetation, and fish and game for the presence of radiological and non-radiological chemicals.

from the SRS. In general, the SCDHEC ESOP results indicate that while there continues to be a measurable impact on the environment from the SRS, the values are, in most cases, below established Federally mandated contaminant guidelines, and the results are consistent with those values reported by the DOE-SR.Publication 2003 ESOP Data Report(2003) Environmental Surveillance and Oversight ProgramFor 2003, the ESOP monitored all pathways for human exposure to radiological contaminants from the SRS. In general, the SCDHEC ESOP results indicate that while there continues to be a measurable impact on the environment from the SRS, the values are, in most cases, below established Federally mandated contaminant guidelines, and the results are consistent with those values reported by the DOE-SR.
