Over the past year, the Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office (RL) has been formulating a focused vision for the future of the Hanford Site. The three elements of the focused vision are to: (1) Restore the Columbia River Corridor; (2) Transition the Central Plateau; and (3) Prepare for the future. In keeping with this vision, RL negotiated a new six-year contract with Fluor Hanford, Inc. (FH) in December 2000 (Contract Number DE-AC06-96RL13200, Modification 126 [Contract]). FH will focus on waste handling and cleanup activities on the Central Plateau, with a new River Corridor Contract (RCC) to be in place by July 2002 for cleanup of the River Corridor. Pending placement of the new RCC, FH continues to be responsible for management of ongoing liquid effluent treatment operations and facility stabilization activities in the 300 Area. On July 1, 2002, FH will assume responsibility for additional Central Plateau activities, including selected activities currently managed by Bechtel Hanford, Inc. (BHI), i.e., waste site remediation, building decontamination and decommissioning (D&D), and site-wide groundwater and vadose zone management and integration. This planning summary has been prepared to reflect the new contract scope, including that scope which will be transferred into the Contract on July 1, 2002, and to reflect contract commitments to accelerate cleanup schedules through the aggressive pursuit and investment of cost savings.
