The U.S. Department of Energy has recently released the draft Tank Closure
and Waste Management EIS for public comment. The Washington State
Department of Ecology is a cooperating agency on this very important
decision document. The draft EIS is considering 17 separate
alternatives for the retrieval of tank waste, supplemental treatment methods
for tank waste, and management of the waste on the Central Plateau on the
Hanford Site. In addition, the draft EIS is considering the management
and disposal of the waste analyzed in the Hanford Solid Waste EIS and the
alternatives for the final disposition of the Fast Flux Test Facility.
The public comment period will be open for 140 days.
USDOE will consider and respond
to all
Public hearings have been scheduled around the region. There will be an
open house held prior to the public hearing.
