Planning the Transition to Long-Term Stewardship for the River Corridor
- Washington Closure Hanford, Richland, WA (United States)
- U.S. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office, Richland, WA (United States)
Long-term stewardship refers to all activities necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment following completion of remediation, disposal, or stabilization of a site or a portion of a site. Efforts to establish the proposed approach and criteria to be met for long-term stewardship in the river corridor of the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington, are currently being established and a draft plan is expected to be completed in mid-2007 to facilitate planning for a smooth and seamless transition to long-term stewardship. Once the initial criteria have been established, supporting information will be gathered as the work proceeds. Near the end of cleanup actions under the River Corridor Closure Contract, these criteria will be finalized in a long-term stewardship plan that documents how the criteria have been met. In addition, the final long-term stewardship plan will also contain a proposed Finding of Suitability to Transfer in accordance with Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 Section 120(h) [1]. This final long-term stewardship plan will provide the foundation for post-River Corridor Closure Contract and management activities in the river corridor pending actual property transfer from the U.S. Department of Energy.
