Submittal of Mixed Waste Landfill Annual Long-Term Monitoring & Maintenance Report, April 2018-March 2019 for Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico, EPA ID Number NM5890110518, June 2019

The Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and Sandia National Laboratories /New Mexico (SNL/NM) personnel submitted the Mixed Waste Landfill (MWL) Annual Long-Term Monitoring and Maintenance Report for the April 2018 through March 2019 reporting period to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.8.1 of the MWL Long-Term Monitoring and Maintenance Plan (LTMMP). The LTMMP became effective on January 8, 2014. The MWL is a 2.6-acre Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU 76) located in the north-central portion of SNL/NM Technical Area III that has undergone corrective action. As of March 13, 2016, the NMED February 2016 Final Order became effective, granting the Class 3 Permit Modification to reflect that the MWL is Corrective Action Complete with Controls and incorporating the LTMMP in Attachment M of the SNL/NM RCRA Facility Operating Permit. The LTMMP defines all monitoring, inspection, maintenance/repair, and reporting requirements for the MWL. This sixth MWL Annual Long-Term Monitoring & Maintenance Report is comprised of 12 chapters that include monitoring results for air, surface soil, vadose zone soil moisture and soil-vapor, biota, and groundwater at the MWL. Inspection, maintenance, and repair activities for monitoring well networks and sampling equipment, the storm-water diversion structure, the evapotranspirative (ET) Cover system, and perimeter fence are also presented, along with a summary of MWL regulatory activities completed during the reporting period. The report includes seven annexes that contain supporting documentation for monitoring activities, forms used to document inspection and repair activities, and the annual biology report. The monitoring and inspection results presented in the report indicate the ET Cover and associated controls are performing as designed. No monitoring results exceeded LTMMP trigger levels and were consistent with historical MWL monitoring data. Site conditions continue to be protective of human health and the environment. 566 pgs

The Absolute of Advaita and the Spirit of Hegel: Situating Vedānta on the Horizons of British Idealisms

$\textit{Purpose}$ A significant volume of philosophical literature produced by Indian academic philosophers in the first half of the twentieth century can be placed under the rubric of ‘Śaṁkara and X’, where X is Hegel, or a German or a British philosopher who had commented on, elaborated or critiqued the Hegelian system. We will explore in this essay the philosophical significance of Hegel-influenced systems as an intellectual conduit for these Indo-European conceptual encounters, and highlight how for some Indian philosophers the British variations on Hegelian systems were both a point of entry into debates over ‘idealism’ and ‘realism’ in contemporary European philosophy and an occasion for defending Advaita against the charge of propounding a doctrine of world illusionism. $\textit{Methodology}$ Our study of the philosophical enquiries of A.C. Mukerji, P.T. Raju, and S.N.L. Shrivastava indicates that they developed distinctive styles of engaging with Hegelian idealisms as they reconfigured certain aspects of the classical Advaita of Śaṁkara through contemporary vocabulary. $\textit{Result and Conclusion}$ These appropriations of Hegelian idioms can be placed under three overlapping styles: (a) Mukerji was partly involved in locating Advaita in an intermediate conceptual space between, on the one hand, Kantian agnosticism and, on the other hand, Hegelian absolutism; (b) Raju and Shrivastava presented Advaitic thought as the fulfilment of certain insights of Hegel and F.H. Bradley; and (c) the interrogations of Hegel’s ‘idealism’ provided several Indian academic philosophers with a hermeneutic opportunity to revisit the vexed question of whether the ‘idealism’ of Śaṁkara reduces the phenomenal world, structured by $\textit{māyā}$, to a bundle of ideas
