How will the campus LRDP relate to the LRDP for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and its EIR?
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a United States Department of Energy facility, a discrete institution with its own management structure and federal reporting requirements to the DOE. The University of California, and not the Berkeley campus, manages LBNL for the DOE. However, LBNL and UC Berkeley are neighbors and both reside on land owned by the Regents of the University of California. Research initiatives sometimes link the two institutions, and some researchers have joint appointments at LBNL and UC Berkeley, yet our missions are clearly distinguishable and our institutional histories and cultures are unique. UC Berkeley is working closely with LBNL to ensure the combined environmental effects of our respective plans are accurately analyzed and appropriately mitigated.
