that described its stakeholder outreach process, as well as the objectives, procedures and desired outcomes of the Site Closure and Decommissioning Project.
This informative brochure is also available for review at the Site Closure Information Repository.
B. Site Closure Project Plan
- Site Closure Project Plan - Version 4 (SCPP) [.pdf] -- September 2006

It describes the principles that guided this process including the previously completed site examination, analysis and risk management activities, as well as the necessary regulatory reviews and approvals.
C. Site Definition
- Archaeological Reconnaissance Survey and Archaeological Resources Management Plan [.pdf] -- November 2003
This survey and management plan catalogues potential archeological and cultural resources of the Yankee Rowe site, and provides guidelines for long-term stewardship. Both documents comply with guidelines developed by the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

Natural Resources Inventory and Management Plan [.pdf] -- April 2004
The Natural Resources Inventory and Management Plan is a comprehensive assessment of the natural resources that characterize the 1,800 acres of property that make up the Yankee Rowe site. A key component of this historical assessment was landscape analysis, a process where key information about the natural resources and land use history of the area were reviewed to document the ecological setting and integrity of the site. This then allowed Yankee to identify areas that might contain unique environmental conditions or rare species. The landscape analysis was followed by field investigations documenting natural community characteristics, wildlife and forest resources.
D. Site Characterization
- Baseline Environmental Report [.pdf] -- April 30, 2004 (SCY 2004-05)
The historical Baseline Environmental Report provided a general understanding of the physical characteristics of the Yankee Rowe site, an overview of the environmental conditions, a summary of Yankee Atomic Electric Company’s operations on site and a description of decommissioning efforts that had been completed prior to 2004. This Baseline Report supplemented the Site Closure Project Plan.
