The purpose of this document is to provide the assessment of the long-term human health and environmental risk associated with the continued disposal of radioactive wastes in the active trenches of the 200 East and 200 West Area Low-Level Burial Grounds (LLBGs) at the Hanford Site (Figure ES-1), as required by DOE O 435.1, Radioactive Waste Management1. Since July 1, 2004, the only active trenches in the 200 West Area LLBGs are the lined Trenches 31 and 34 used for the disposal of containerized low-level waste and mixed low-level waste (Figure ES-2). The only active trench in the 200 East Area LLBGs is the unlined Trench 94 that was used for the disposal of naval reactor compartments (Figure ES-3). Trenches 31 and 34 are intended to be used until they reach their disposal capacity while Trench 94 will be used and expanded as necessary to meet the needs of the U.S. Navy.
