In support of the Dominion Nuclear Connecticut mission and
station objectives, our nuclear plants are operated in an environmentally sensitive
manner. This policy is consistent with and in support of the Dominion Corporate
Environmental Policy Statement. As such, we believe it is both good business
practice and our duty to protect the natural resources of the communities we
serve. It is our policy to conduct our business in an environmentally responsible
manner that protects the public, our employees and the earth that we all share.
Society places great emphasis on protection of the environment.
Accordingly, strict compliance to regulatory requirements alone is not sufficient
corporate citizenship to earn public acceptance. Dominion Nuclear Connecticut
must actively demonstrate respect for the environment and sensitivity toward
fellow citizens.
Adherence to the Station and Corporate environmental management
standards and programs ensures that operational and support activities minimize
and measure the environmental effect of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut operations.
These standards and programs provide for continuous improvement in both environmental
performance and the Station’s environmental management system and accomplish
the following objectives:
demonstrate Dominion Nuclear Connecticut’s commitment
to environmental stewardship;
ensure accountability, openness and responsiveness to our
customers, employees, shareholders and the public, by establishing specific
objectives and measurable targets that promote continuous improvement
meet or exceed federal, state and local environmental requirements,
as well as other voluntary requirements to which the Station or the Corporation
subscribe;
activities, projects and design changes potentially affecting
the environment are evaluated, documented and mitigated as needed in a timely
manner and that the appropriate regulatory agencies are informed;
provide comprehensive plans to prevent and minimize impacts
to employees, the public and the environment;
build partnerships with local communities to promote environmental
leadership;
develop initiatives to prevent and minimize pollution.
Accordingly, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut personnel will take
measures to maintain and enhance the environment by providing active stewardship
of our land, air and water natural resources.
