On July 19, 1996, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) entered into an agreement called the Rocky Flats Cleanup Agreement (RFCA) for the cleanup and closure of Rocky Flats. RFCA creates a framework for decisions to be made rapidly, assigns funding to the highest Site priorities, and places all Site activities in an integrated sitewide baseline.

Integrated Monitoring Program 

This Fiscal Year (FY) FY2004 IMP identifies the routine monitoring programs for surface water, groundwater, air, and ecology being conducted at RFETS under the Integrated Monitoring Program to satisfy RFCA and other regulatory requirements and interests. The FY2004 IMP Background Document, provides detailed discussions of the decision-making process that has resulted in numerous monitoring efforts at RFETS. This FY2004 IMP lists the monitoring programs to which DOE and the other regulatory agencies are committed. The FY2004 IMP Background Document provides additional information about the DQO decision process and the regulatory framework that drives many of the monitoring decisions at RFETS. The FY2004 IMP Background Document is not subject to enforcement under RFCA, but may be subject to enforcement in accordance with the initiating legal requirements.
