Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order
This is the first quarterly report for the Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order (Tri-Party Agreement) that was signed by the US Department of Energy (DOE), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). The Tri-Party Agreement sets the plan and schedule for cleanup of nuclear weapons wastes at Hanford. This report covers progress for the quarter ending June 30, 1989. Progress reports will be issued every 3 months. The Hanford Site cleanup is proceeding on schedule. All key initial tasks were completed ahead of schedule, but some other tasks are behind the original schedule because of unforeseen technical and regulatory problems, or because the original schedule was inappropriate. However, none of the delayed tasks jeopardize reaching key milestones. The 1,377 waste units that have been identified at the Hanford Site are located within 74 operable units. To protect the public and the environment, some of these waste units will need to be cleaned up and the wastes disposed of in an acceptable and permanent manner. Some of that disposal will be on the Hanford Site. Other wastes will be retrieved, stabilized, and transported to other disposal sites that are being developed by the Federal Government. 18 refs., 5 figs., 17 tabs.
