Columbia
Riverkeeper
Columbia Riverkeeper has been working on Hanford issues since 1989.
Columbia Riverkeeper works to restore and protect the water quality of the
Columbia River and all life connected to it from the headwaters to the
Pacific Ocean". Hanford is the most contaminated site in North America and
poses the single largest threat to the Columbia River. If cleanup is going
to be successful, it is because the public has been involved every step of
the way. Columbia Riverkeeper's Hanford program educates the public on
Hanford issues, hosts public meetings and offers other opportunities for
public involvement ensuring the public can play an active and meaningful
role in the Hanford cleanup.

Washington State Department of Health
The Department of Health is designated as the state radiation control
agency. The Division of Radiation Protection carries out that role. The
Division is made up of seven sections covering many areas of radiation
protection. These sections include:
Waste Management: Licenses and inspects the U.S. Ecology Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Disposal site, a major waste processor and
decontamination facility, and two uranium mines/mills.
Radioactive Materials: Licenses and inspects facilities where
radioactive materials are used. They have authority at all facilities
except the Hanford reservation and a few other sites under federal
jurisdiction.
X-ray:
This section registers and inspects all x-ray machines and accelerators in
the state.
Air
Emissions and Defense Wastes: Responsible for licensing and inspecting
all sources of radioactive air emissions in the state including the
Hanford Site. Any facility using radioactive material falls under their
jurisdiction.
Environmental Radiation: Responsible for assessing levels of radiation
in the environment and ensuring the safety of the public. Much of the work
involves, but is not limited to the Hanford Site, the Nuclear Power Plant,
and the Navy facilities.
Radiological
Emergency Preparedness Section: Directs the Department's response by
coordinating all actions taken to protect the public from radiation
exposure.
