The Department of Energy has scheduled a meeting for the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board Chairs for Nov. 5 and Nov. 6, after originally postponing it due to this month’s government shutdown. It will include an EM program update, which will include information on the budget and waste disposition strategies. The meeting had originally been scheduled to take place the week of Oct. 16. It will be held at the Deer Creek Lodge and Conference Center in Mt. Sterling, Ohio.
