Title: ANNUAL HANFORD SITE ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING STATUS REPORT

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/834856· OSTI ID:834856

The information contained in, and/or referenced in, this ''Annual Hanford Site Environmental Permitting Status Report'' addresses Hanford Facility Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Permit (Permit) condition II.W (Other Permits and/or Approvals), issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology (WA7890008967). Permit Condition II.W specifies that the Permittees are responsible for obtaining all other applicable federal, state, and local permits authorizing the development and operation of the Hanford facility. This status report also addresses Permit Condition I.E.22, as interpreted in Section 12.1.25 of the Hanford Facility Dangerous Waste Permit Application, General Information Portion (DOE/RL-91-28, latest revision), that states this report will be prepared annually and a copy of this report will be placed in the Facility Operating Record, General Information file by October 1 of each year. DOE has proposed to eliminate Permit Condition I.E.22 requirement from DOE/RL-91-28 because this report is not required by WAC 173-303-390. The ''Annual Hanford Site Environmental Permitting Status Report'' includes, but is not limited to the following types of environmental permits: (1) The Hazardous Waste Management Program as defined in 40 CFR Part 261; (2) The Underground Injection Control Program under the state Waste Discharge Program; (3) The National Pollution Discharge Elimination System under the Clean Air Act; (4) The Prevention of Significant Deterioration program under the Clean Air Act; (5) The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants under the Clean Air Act; (6) And other sitewide environmental permits including solid waste, state waste discharge, onsite sewage system, and underground storage tanks. Emission units/points that are currently regulated under CERCLA are no longer included in this report. The report provides a cross-reference of the environmental permits and construction approvals for the various Hanford Site ''Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976'' treatment, storage, and/or disposal units that are incorporated or are scheduled for incorporation as final status operating treatment, storage, and/or disposal units.
