Contained within the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Site Treatment Plan (STP) is language addressing receipt, storage, and treatment of DOE mixed waste from offsite facilities. The Waste Experimental Reduction Facility (WERF) incinerator has been identified by several DOE sites as the preferred treatment facility for their mixed wastes. The WERF incinerator has an annual treatment capacity of 2,000 m{sup 3}. A small portion of this capacity, 136 m{sup 3} per year through 2002, will be used by the INEL, leaving 1,864 m{sup 3} of available capacity for mixed waste treatment each year that WERF operates. Since signing the STP, several DOE sites have requested the addition of waste streams to the INEL STP because the WERF incinerator is operating and treating mixed waste. In addition, budget cuts have eliminated many planned treatment facilities, which now makes WERF a viable option for treating offsite mixed waste. Pre- and post-treatment storage of offsite mixed waste and waste treatment residues at the INEL, other than the waste received from Naval shipyards facing closure, requires approval of DOE-ID and the State of Idaho. Offsite waste treated at the WERF incinerator, and waste treatment residues (characteristic or listed), will not be disposed at the INEL. Rather, treated waste and waste treatment residues from incineration will be temporarily stored at the INEL until a disposal facility can be identified and arrangements made to transport the waste to the disposal facility. If no disposal facility can be found, the treatment residues is returned to the generator.
