We will use energy efficiently: For Lucent Operations: Having exceeded our five-year goal to avoid the emission of 50,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases (GHGs), we will sustain the progress and seek to reduce an additional 5,000 metric tons of GHGs in 2004. For results, click here. For Lucent Products: Lucent will design products that are more energy efficient over their life cycles. We will minimize EH&S effects of Lucent products over their full life cycles: By July 2006, Lucent will develop and implement methodologies to produce products, in support of market requirements, that are free of lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, cadmium, and certain brominated flame retardants. Such products are designated "X-free". In 2004, we will: Conduct portfolio reviews and supply chain gap analyses for product components and subassemblies for which

Letter from the Chairman


At Lucent, we have always been committed to protecting the environment, the health and safety of our employees, and the communities in which we work. As such, we are dedicated to implementing sound and responsible environmental practices. We have a distinguished heritage of environmental management and corporate social responsibility, and we are continually striving for further improvement in these areas. Our environmental stewardship efforts are based on the concept of sustainability meaning we strive to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the needs of future generations. Knowing that we must ensure the future availability of resources, we view designing for the environment just as important as designing for high performance, reliability and quality. Patricia Russo Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Going forward, every Lucent employee needs to remain dedicated to demonstrating that sustainability is both an attitude and a way of life. This approach will help ensure a healthy and safe environment for future generations. And by combining a focus on business excellence with heightened environmental and safety awareness, we will better position ourselves for success in the global marketplace. This 2004 EH&S Annual Report summarizes some of the recent progress Lucent has made with regard to our environmental practices. Upon reading it, I am confident you will find that we continue to take this commitment seriously. The reason we take it so seriously is simple: It is the right thing to do.

Letter from Roy Femenella Lucent Environment, Health & Safety Vice President
Over the years, we have strived to integrate environment, health and safety (EH&S) aspects into our fundamental business processes. To that end, I'm pleased to report that Lucent is currently implementing a global management system that will be ISO 9001, TL9000 and ISO 14001 compliant. As a result of this approach, decisions regarding product and operational matters jointly consider EH&S implications and opportunities, with a "line of sight" to our board of directors.

As we have increasingly employed strategic business partners in support of Lucent Technologies' vision and mission, there is also an increased recognition that being a socially responsible company extends to our suppliers. As you review this annual report, you will see examples of how we have continued to drive EH&S awareness through our supply chain. Our EH&S expectations are now fully integrated into the Lucent Supplier Capability Assessment tool that Lucent uses to assess a supplier's capability to systematically meet our needs and expectations. The assessment is used to determine if Lucent should use, or continue to use, a supplier. Lastly, we have attempted to structure our annual report with consideration given to the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. It is in this spirit that we have included EH&S information, which we believe is most relevant to Lucent's business model and our stakeholders. We welcome feedback from our stakeholders and will seek opportunities to proactively engage them and solicit their input going forward.

Roy Femenella Lucent Environment, Health and Safety Vice President

Introduction

One of Lucent's core values, "a strong sense of social responsibility," sets the foundation for the kind of company that we aspire to be and guides our actions as we go forward to create our future one where we serve and enhance the communities and the society on which we depend. More and more, our stewardship in those areas is built on the concept of sustainability. This remains a driving force for Lucent's environment, health and safety (EH&S) programs and our belief that corporate investment in EH&S is both socially responsible and business critical. It is an investment in our ability to meet customer needs, address environmental considerations, support our operations and create sustainable competitive advantage. Building on our legacy of EH&S reporting, we are taking steps, commencing with this annual report, to incorporate elements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2002 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (Guidelines) and establish a baseline for future reports. We have used the Guidelines to help decide the content that we believe is most appropriate for Lucent and its stakeholders, given our evolution from a vertically integrated manufacturing company to a business model that relies on strategic supply chain partners. Our intention is to provide stakeholders with significant insight into Lucent's commitment and support of sustainable development, a key aspect of social responsibility.

2004 EH&S Annual Report Operations


Safety at Lucent
Lucent global facilities/operations have established numerous safety committees to provide employees a forum to discuss and resolve important safety issues. Safety committees are composed of both management and employee representatives who meet on a periodic basis to address pertinent EH&S issues at the facilities/operations. For example, safety committees at Lucent: Review, evaluate and recommend action on EH&S practices currently used by or recommended for the facility/operation. Help ensure compliance with applicable EH&S regulations. Encourage management commitment and employee involvement in EH&S activities. Promote compliance with EH&S Management System policy, goals and objectives. Local and regional regulatory requirements for the establishment of safety committees also are followed. Approximately 95 percent of all global Lucent employees in facilities/operations have functional safety committees. In addition to using safety committees to promote EH&S initiatives at our facilities/operations, safety huddles and newsletters are provided periodically to Lucent employees to inform them of important EH&S issues.

Work-related injuries and illnesses


Lucent implements a global process to record work-related injuries/illnesses as required by the Lucent EH&S Worldwide Standard "Serious Incident Reporting and Routine Reporting & Recordkeeping." In addition to the Lucent requirements for recording work-related injuries/illnesses, local/regional regulatory requirements are followed. Injury/Illness data (i.e., lost workday, medical treatment, work restriction, first aid) are maintained on the Corporate Health Services database for all worldwide operations. Lucent's fiscal 2004 Lost Workday Case Rate (number of lost workday cases per hundred employees) was 0.33, which was significantly below our target of 0.40. Additionally, Lucent had a global injury/illness Total Case Rate (number of recordable cases per hundred employees) of 0.81. There were no work-related fatalities in fiscal 2004.

Lucent Health Services


Lucent Health Services is dedicated to providing integrated services that improve employee health, increase productivity, enhance morale, and reduce Lucent health costs. We offer our employees a diverse menu of medical services, including: on-site clinics that provide a variety of clinical services and resources, a consolidated Health Center to support the occupational health needs of U.S. employees who do not have access to an on-site clinic, and our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), through which Lucent employees or family members can receive assessment, guidance or counseling for such problems as alcoholism, substance abuse, interpersonal or relationship difficulties, psychological or emotional disorders, and stress. On a global platform, Lucent Health Services is pleased to provide our employees with reliable health information and health improvement tools from Mayo Clinic, which provides specific information

on a variety of diseases and conditions, as well as programs to help them improve their health. Lucent Health Services also grants medical support to Lucent employees who go on temporary assignments in other countries by providing advice and guidance, including maintaining and making available a global listing of available certified physicians.

Environmental Management Systems


Lucent Technologies fully supports the development and deployment of EH&S Management System standards (e.g., ISO 14001, the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration Voluntary Protection Program, OHS18000) among its various businesses. In order to maintain maximum operational flexibility, the appropriate standard is selected to meet the needs and functionality requirements of each individual business unit, as well as the most beneficial method of deploying that standard (e.g., facility- specific, multi-site, business unit). Lucent Technologies Lucent is currently implementing a companywide One Lucent Management System (OneLMS) that will be ISO 9001:2000, TL9000 R3.0/R3.5 and ISO 14001:1996(E) compliant. The target date to achieve this certification is the first quarter of 2005. Lucent is in the process of incorporating locations and organizations that are already certified to the ISO 14001 environmental management system standard into the One Lucent Environmental Management System (OneLEMS), which is the environmental element of the OneLMS. Third-party certified ISO14001 environmental management systems (OneLEMS) cover all of our "manufacturing related" sites worldwide, representing 100 percent of the associated 6,900 employees. Manufacturing for Lucent One of the most visible and dramatic changes in Lucent's business model and overall supply chain is the transformation of Lucent's manufacturing infrastructure. Lucent has migrated from a highly vertically integrated manufacturing enterprise to a largely virtual manufacturing company. Thus, Lucent does not operate significant manufacturing facilities. Rather, we have retained a small, globally diverse network of System Integration Centers where product assembly and test are conducted, and all of which have third-party certified ISO 14001 environmental management systems. Since most of our manufacturing services are provided by industry-leading partners, collaboration on eco-environmental performance is more important than ever. Lucent has committed to evaluate the products and operations of strategic partners. Major suppliers are required to deploy or maintain an Environmental Management System at locations where parts or products are manufactured for Lucent. Of Lucent's suppliers of Electronic Manufacturing Services, 83 percent had third-party registered ISO14001 systems at the end of 2004. We will continue to monitor progress to ensure our requirement of complete coverage is realized.

Occupational Safety & Health Administration VPP


In 2004, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) visited the Holmdel, Murray Hill and Whippany, N.J., locations to evaluate their safety management systems. These sites encompass a range of activities and operations, including research and development (R&D), product management, supply chain management and corporate administrative services. As Star sites (the highest OSHA rating) within the OSHA VPP for four years, these facilities have demonstrated an excellence in safety practices. To continue in the VPP, a facility must have a periodic on-site evaluation by OSHA, while maintaining industry-leading statistics. While at these locations, the OSHA teams reviewed written safety programs, toured the facility and interviewed employees. They assessed management commitment to safety, employee involvement, hazard prevention, safety training, and looked for continual improvement in each area. All three locations retained their Star recognition in the VPP. Exemplary programs identified by OSHA during the on-site evaluation include the Lucent EH&S Web site, Medical Emergency Response Teams, and the computerized chemical inventory database.

Incidents
Lucent was not involved in any incidents such as spills or regulatory noncompliances during 2004.

2004 EH&S Annual Report Products


Product Compliance
Product is developed with state-of-the-art technology that is designed to meet applicable, country-specific product conformance standards, including product safety, electromagnetic compatibility, radio frequency and laser safety, and eco-environmental requirements. Lucent uses its development experience and continuous stringent quality checks to incorporate operational safety features into the designs of our products. Lucent employs product compliance tools to ensure regulatory compliance where products will be marketed. These compliance tools are used to enable Lucent designers to identify all applicable international legislation and/or regulations early in the design cycle. They also facilitate timely development, sale and deployment of safe and compliant products worldwide. Lucent continues to refine and enhance its online tools used by designers of Lucent products in identifying and assessing product compliance of customers, regions and countries where our products may be marketed or sold. The OnePC (Product Conformance) Checklists, Guidelines & Requirements, and the Country-Specific Conformance Requirements are examples of our extensive online tools that ensure complete product safety compliance. These tools enable Lucent designers to identify all applicable international standards and/or regulations affecting the sale and marketing of Lucent products. They also provide a means of ensuring that all necessary documentation and testing data are maintained for the period of time as mandated by standards or regulations. We provide our customers with product documentation that includes energy consumption data, equipment modularity or expansion capabilities and applicable product safety, radio frequency safety, laser safety and battery labeling information for all products. Material safety data sheets are provided to our customers for any applicable materials that may be brought onto a site through our installation services activities. Detailed information on material content of products is shared with customers during the bid and tender process for any product covered by the tender request.

Environmental Impact
Lucent systematically identifies the environmental aspects of its products and associated activities. The aspect evaluation process is based on a proactive multi-criteria product life cycle approach. It is used to identify environmental aspects associated with hardware products in accordance with environmental management system procedures using methodology consistent with draft standard ISO 14062, Integration of Product Aspects into Product Design. Integrating environmental aspects into product design and development involves consideration of a range of potential impacts helping to ensure that reduction of one impact does not result in an increase in another impact. When using a multi-criteria life cycle approach in designing and developing a product, different criteria may be applied while maintaining the product's function. The aspect evaluation process is to establish an eco- environmental baseline for current products and gather the data necessary to influence future product designs. Environmental Aspects are considered across the entire life cycle of our products and include: banned and restricted substances (material content), energy efficiency, end-of-service-life take-back, ability to be recycled and reusability. Minimization of the amount of material used is a design objective. Additionally, efforts to extend the life of a product take into consideration design for maintenance, repair, refurbishment and reuse. Similarly, the variety of materials used is minimized to promote ease of separation and ability to be recycled, particularly for plastic parts. Based on our analyses to date, for our products, the life cycle stage with the greatest environmental impacts is the product's use stage (typically 15 to 20 years). This is a function of the amount of energy consumed over the life of our products. Consequently, improved energy efficiency of our products results in a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions over their life cycles. Our customers are concerned about the use of energy, and the associated resulting impacts (global warming from electric utility greenhouse gas emissions) from the operation of their telecommunications networks. European bodies, such as the EU's Joint Research Centre, have begun studies on ways to legislate energy-saving features and efficiency targets for broadband equipment.

Product Energy Use


Lucent's corporate energy goal states that products should be designed to be more energy efficient than prior generations. Lucent uses a management system approach to ensure that energy efficiency is considered in a product's design. Metrics are used to demonstrate continual improvement in the energy efficiency of our products. A comparison of a new product with that of a previous generation quantifies the improvements made to energy efficiency. An example of recent base station evaluations demonstrating energy efficiency improvements for designs within the 2002-2004 time period is provided below:

Additionally, the environmental performance of a base station can be evaluated from a product functionality and energy use perspective using an eco-performance metric. In the example below, the Compact 4.0 V2 base station was more energy efficient than the Modcell 4.0 unit, when considering the electrical usage for a unit of product functionality, which in this instance is bandwidth. The results are summarized in the table below. Year Product Energy Efficiency

The use of an eco-performance metric provides the ability to demonstrate continual improvement of a product family. Hardware improvements such as the use of passive cooling, which eliminates the need for fans, and the use of newly available energy efficient amplifiers, contribute to the energy reductions for the product. Overall product eco-performance also typically increases as new types of technologies provide greater product functionality, for example, more bandwidth.

Product Take-Back
Teams from across the business have been focusing on the EU Directive addressing Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). It requires producers to take back equipment at the end of their useful life and sets targets for recycling and recovery, beginning with products placed into the EU market in August 2005. Lucent has established a take-back program in accordance with WEEE. The capability to take

back products is fully implemented for all products and customers globally. In 2004, Lucent informed European customers about the terms and conditions under which take-back obligations will be executed. We have recycling programs for our products throughout the world that are capable of meeting WEEE requirements now. We continue to assess and analyze our product designs and recycling programs to achieve higher efficiencies. For example, Lucent has determined from its existing key contractors the current levels or baseline of recycling, and has established processes and metrics to calculate compliance and meet reporting requirements that take effect starting in 2006. In compliance with the WEEE Directive, Lucent is cooperating with its approved recyclers in an ongoing effort to understand their requirements for improving the recycling efficiency of our products. We also have completed life cycle assessments of some of our products to define key design-for- environment features that were then incorporated into tools, which support design and supply chain processes. Handling Take-back Requests Lucent's Global Reverse Supply Chain Organization (GRSC) has put in place the necessary processes to deal with any request for take-back and will coordinate such requests within Lucent. This support function will not only deal with take-back legal requirements but also will support swap-outs or other business opportunities in the "services" business segment where Lucent would manage the displacement of obsolete equipment for the customer. A take-back help desk is the one stop for any take-back requests. The first step in the process is a review of the product to see if there is an opportunity to resell valuable used equipment through the Special Customer Operations (SCO) organization. Lucent's second option is to take the equipment to approved contractors to be recycled, using the most efficient methods for "environmentally responsible" recovery. We audit each recycler we work with to ensure that they follow accepted practices. Lucent receives reports as to the quantity and type of materials recovered, and we make sure that the materials are directed to the appropriate destination for reuse or disposal. While our capability to take back equipment was previously put in place, our main focus in 2004 was to assess various options to arrange for taking back equipment, and shipping it to appropriate recyclers. Our target is to identify the most efficient set-up, while assuring appropriate waste handling, recycling and reporting according to the various requirements of individual EU member states. As we look ahead, it is expected that other countries around the world will adopt legislation similar to the EU directives during the next few years. The work being done now to comply with the EU mandates will prepare Lucent for future customer and legal requirements around the globe.

Recycling & Recovery


In accordance with the EU WEEE Directive, by January 2006 Lucent will have developed and implemented methodologies to achieve a minimum level of product recycling of 65 percent by weight. For any electronic product, the EU specifies a mandatory recovery target of 75 percent by weight. Recovery is defined as the weight of recycled materials plus the weight of combustible material incinerated for energy recovery. In order to comply with the provisions of the WEEE Directive, Lucent will provide reuse and treatment information for each new product within one year after the equipment is put on the market. This information must identify the different components and materials in the electronic equipment, as well as the location of any restricted substances and preparations. The European Electronics Recycling Association has, upon request by industry, started a standardization effort to achieve a common understanding between producers and treatment operators of the product information relevant for end of life consideration. It defines the list of items that are relevant to treatment facility operators. These items relate to either parts that require specific treatment according to the directive, or parts for which specific treatment requirements exist. Continuing our efforts in 2004, Lucent conducted a baseline recycling evaluation of our product portfolio. For most products, recycling rates were determined to be greater than 75 percent, which exceeds the 65 percent target.

Lucent has developed a practical method to demonstrate compliance with regulatory recycling targets. An eco-metric tracking tool is used to capture recycling data and demonstrate compliance with EU regulatory recycling targets. However, Lucent chooses not to stop there, as we continue to identify areas where future recycling improvements should be focused. For example, we are working with our preferred global recyclers to identify materials that they need to separate for further treatment and recycling efforts. We are also working with our suppliers to determine the presence and use of these materials in our supply chain, and to evaluate better life cycle alternatives.

2004 EH&S Annual Report Initiatives


Energy Use
Both electrical and natural gas annual usage rates have decreased in Lucent facilities, from 2003 to 2004. Review of energy use from 31 facilities, located across North America, indicated a reduction of 48,830,373 kWh of electricity and 2,760,564 therms of natural gas, over that time period. Emission of air contaminants associated with natural gas combustion decreased more than 22 percent, as documented from 31 facilities in North America, from 2003 to 2004. Emission (metric tons) 2003 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Carbon Monoxide (CO) Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Ammonia (NH3) Lead (Pb) Particulate Matter, 10 microns (PM-10) Particulate Matter, 2.5 microns (PM-2.5) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4) 0.33 55.83 46.90 4.24 3.07 1.79 0.00 4.24 4.24 66,999 1.28 2004 0.26 43.31 36.38 3.29 2.38 1.39 0.00 3.29 3.29 51,973 1.00

Air Contaminant

Greenhouse Gas Emissions


Total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been reduced as a direct result of a decrease in energy consumption. Since becoming a member of the United States Department of Energy "Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases" program in 1993, Lucent has achieved GHG emission reductions of more than 400,000 metric tons. These reductions were due to the implementation of energy efficient projects, fuel substitution and recycling activities. Lucent has established an emission reduction program, and is committed to using energy efficiently to meet the program goals to avoid, over five years, what would otherwise be the emission of 50,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases relative to a 1999 baseline level. As documented in the United States Department of Energy "Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases" program documents, Lucent has significantly exceeded that five-year goal.

10

Ozone Depleting Substances


Lucent Technologies has mandatory requirements for the use and emissions of ozone depleting substances, which includes chlorofluorocarbon / hydrochlorofluorocarbon (CFC/HCFC) refrigerants. Since 1997, Lucent has had in place a global CGC/HCFC refrigerant management plan that prohibits the purchase of nonhermetically sealed air conditioning and refrigeration systems that use these substances, and restricts the transfer of any remaining amounts of these substances outside the company. These company requirements are similar to those established under the United States federal regulations.

RF Environment Exposure Assessments


Compliance with governmental regulations forms the basis for determining safe operating requirements for both site (wireless base station deployment) and worker (occupational) compliance. Lucent also participates on regional and international standard committees that are concerned with both human RF exposure and RF measurement techniques. Technical experts within Lucent contribute information to these committees to ensure scientific-based RF guidelines are developed.

Supply Chain Performance


Our efforts to drive EH&S awareness through our supply chain continued in 2004. EH&S expectations are now fully integrated into the Lucent Supplier Capability Assessment (LSCA) tool that Lucent uses to assess a supplier's capability in terms of the necessary processes and controls to systematically meet our needs and expectations. The assessment is used to determine if Lucent should use, or continue to use a supplier, and the associated risk in doing so. Through the LSCA process, we evaluate the EH&S performance of service and product suppliers within the Lucent supply chain. The process assesses a supplier's complete management, quality and technical capabilities, and establishes baseline information on a supplier via an initial questionnaire. It also may include an on-site review to get a "real world perspective" of a supplier's capabilities. Some areas taken into consideration include: The presence of an Environmental, Health & Safety Management System (ISO 14001, Eco-Management and Audit Scheme or equivalent). Use of Environmentally Hazardous Substances in terms of reporting, minimization of use and substitution. Lucent has established QPS 20.248 Lucent Technologies Supply Chain Requirements for Control and Reporting of Material Content, which identifies specific materials that are banned in products or packaging provided by Lucent and lists environmentally hazardous substances that are to be avoided in its products and packaging. This document can be viewed on Lucent's external Supply Chain Portal (select "General Use Documents," then "Eco-Environmental Alerts and Requirements"). QPS20.248 also requires Lucent's suppliers to declare the presence of certain environmentally hazardous substances of concern, if they are contained in products provided to Lucent. As a vital partner in the LSCA process, EH&S professionals have reviewed suppliers' responses to the EH&S section of the initial questionnaire, participated in on-site reviews and supported the assessment of supplier responses to EH&S issues identified during the on-site reviews. In addition to the LSCA process for product and services suppliers, a new LSCA was developed to assess product distributors. EH&S clauses have been included in Lucent's standard Terms & Conditions, for all "goods" and/or "services" supplier agreements, including a clause regarding environmentally hazardous substances as noted previously. Another clause, new in 2004, asks "goods" suppliers to provide Lucent with eco-declarations of material content when available for any of the products that they supply to Lucent. In "services" supplier agreements, Lucent sets high workplace safety standards and requires our suppliers to do the same by agreeing to the "Workplace Safety" clause that was updated in 2004.

Rebuilding the Communications Infrastructure in Iraq


As a key part of the Lucent Worldwide Services' (LWS) business strategy, Lucent Technologies continues to target the services business as an area for growth. Occasionally work in the services sector can present unique and demanding challenges. Lucent is currently contributing to the rebuilding of the communications infrastructure in Iraq. Working in this challenging environment puts significant demands on individuals. Notwithstanding the threats associated with insurgent activity, the working environment has many hazards that need to be carefully managed. Issues such as blast-damaged or unstable buildings, poor or temporary accommodations and absence of infrastructure means that the highest level of occupational health and safety awareness is required to maintain a safe

11

working environment for Lucent's staff, its customers and contractors. Lucent's EH&S professionals in Baghdad apply the methodologies of the LWS EH&S management system to identify risk, implement risk management programs and establish goals for minimizing work-related accidents. In support of the Baghdad based professionals, Lucent has leveraged the skills of its network of EH&S professionals in the Middle East and Europe to give support by delivering specialist training and technical direction and advice when needed. EH&S awareness training is delivered so that individuals are aware of risk and understand how to avoid work-related hazards. EH&S requirements have been integrated into the contracts of the subcontractors involved. Lucent monitors the EH&S performance of subcontractors to ensure that safe work practices are followed.

Remediation
The Remediation Group within Lucent oversees the investigation, design, construction and operation of environmental remediation and restoration projects. In taking its legacy environmental responsibilities seriously, Lucent makes every effort to achieve a cleanup standard that addresses human health and the environment and does so in a financially responsible manner. Our remediation activities fall into two broad categories associated with Lucent owned (or formerly owned) facilities and third-party waste disposal and reclamation facilities. In certain cases, the liability may be related to a business or property acquisition. Projects may be regulated under one or more local, state or federal programs such as CERCLA (Superfund), RCRA (Hazardous Waste), state cleanup programs in the United States, as well as the international or country-specific regulations. When Lucent sold its manufacturing operations to contract manufacturing service providers or property developers, wherever possible, we sought to identify prospective purchasers that would reuse or redevelop the properties in a manner that is beneficial to the community and the environment. In most instances, Lucent has retained responsibility for managing any presale environmental issues. Lucent works closely with the buyer(s) and regulatory agencies to ensure a smooth ownership transition and to facilitate redevelopment. This includes innovative contracting relationships with our environmental consultants and remediation contractors to complete site cleanup and closure on an expedited schedule. This approach provides benefits to the buyer, the community and Lucent. For waste disposal and reclamation facilities, these Superfund sites are usually shared liability sites with multiple parties participating in the management, operations and funding. Funding is typically based on the respective party's share of the total volume of waste that went into the site. At a few sites, Lucent has the primary responsibility for operations and funding. Where there is a potential for disruption of wetlands, or impacts have already occurred, the remedial design is modified to ensure the wetlands area is protected, restored, or replaced with an equivalent wetlands resource. A recent example is the design and construction at the MW Manufacturing site in Pennsylvania. The design was modified to minimize impacts to existing wetlands and to provide additional wetland resources. The cover design was revised to protect or relocate the existing on-site wetlands and to create additional wetlands. Also, the groundwater extraction design was modified to minimize the potential disturbance of down-gradient wetlands. As a result of ongoing remediation operations and maintenance, Lucent restored more than 494 million gallons (1.87 billion liters) of groundwater to productive use in fiscal 2004. Groundwater remediation systems are closely monitored to ensure the effluent quality meets applicable standards, which, in many cases, are the drinking water standards. In addition to our efforts to remove contaminants from the environment, Lucent also participates in supplemental programs designed to assist the communities affected by the past operations. Recent examples include a program in East St. Louis, Ill., that provided health and safety training to citizens who were then employed on the remedial project. In 2004, Lucent, along with other parties, helped develop and fund a $2 million lead abatement program in Madison County, Ill. This program will identify and abate potential lead paint and lead pipe issues throughout the community. In 2004, Lucent completed the cleanup of the MW Driftwood site in Driftwood, Pa., under the Pennsylvania Act 2 Land Recycling Program. This cleanup facilitated acceptance of the site into the Brownfield Action Team Program, which will assist in creation of new business and as many as 40 jobs over the next three years. Driftwood is located in a rural, economically disadvantaged part of Pennsylvania. Total remediation expenditures for FY2004 were $19.5 million (this includes offsets for cost recoveries and credits from other parties).
