The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the U.S. Department of Energy. Since its inception in 1965 there has been a contingent of statisticians involved with environmental applications. In this article two of their current environmental statistics activities will be described. The first involves developing user-friendly software, Visual Sample Plan (VSP), that allows the user to generate statistically sound environmental sampling plans in two-dimensions through a visual interface. The second is an effort underway to develop methodology useful in efforts to delineate the location of unexploded ordnance (UXO).
