The Department of Energy proposes to utilize a supercompactor at its Rocky Flats Plant to reduce the present volume of Low Level Mixed Waste (LLMW). The compaction of Low Level Mixed Waste is necessary to reduce the volume of LLMW being stored onsite, in order to maintain compliance with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act requirements until offsite storage and disposal sites are approved. Previously, the Department of Energy performed an environmental assessment of the compaction of TRU and TRU-mixed waste. Therefore a Supplement Analysis was developed to determine whether existing NEPA analysis adequately addressed the environmental impacts associated with the compaction of LLMW in the RFP supercompactor. This paper discusses the positive role that NEPA analysis can perform in the evaluation of a proposed action.
