CORRAL HOLLOW ROAD

The 11-square mile Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Site 300) was developed in the 1950s as a research facility. It is operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) primarily as a high-explosives and materials testing site in support of nuclear weapons research. Approximately 350 people who work in the area are provided with drinking water from groundwater in the area. Most are laboratory employees and State of California employees who work in a nearby State vehicular recreation area. Adjacent ranch houses and a State fire station also draw drinking water from the aquifer.
