Cleanup Outreach

Learn how we involve the community in cleanup decisions.

Stakeholder Engagement

N3B is implementing a robust stakeholder engagement program as part of its work with the Los Alamos Legacy Cleanup Contract on behalf of the Department of Energy, Environment Management, Los Alamos Field Office. Stakeholders in the cleanup at Los Alamos include the general public, elected officials, environmental groups and government entities that have interest in the project.

Stakeholder engagement is essential to our decision-making process and central to the success of legacy waste cleanup. By listening to a broad and diverse range of perspectives, we ensure our work reflects what matters most to the community.

We are committed to:

Operating openly, honestly, and accurately
Continuously improving engagement to meet public needs
Responding to stakeholders in a timely and respectful manner

Public Meetings

EM-LA and N3B have hosted a series of public meetings to keep the community informed and engaged in the legacy waste cleanup mission. Presentation materials, recordings, and responses to public questions from these past events are available below for reference.

Get Involved

N3B encourages engagement from the public in making decisions in regards to cleanup work performed by N3B. Since the beginning of our contract, we have worked to be transparent and include the public in cleanup decisions, as well as providing information about ongoing cleanup work, the next steps, proposed remedies, and anticipated schedule.

Engagement builds trust, encourages transparency, and strengthens confidence in our cleanup efforts. Our strategy is designed to:

Involve the public early and throughout the process
Understand community values and concerns
Meet or exceed federal and state requirements
Align with the cleanup mission and available resources

This is a long-term effort. EM-LA and N3B will continue to hold public meetings and adapt our approach as needed. In 2025, we hosted Cleanup Forums across Northern New Mexico to hear directly from residents.
