Abstract

Environmental restoration and waste management have become a primary focus at Hanford Site. A schedule has been prepared for cleaning up the approximately 1,100 waste management units and for decontaminating and decommissioning over 100 facilities. The cleanup effort includes the implementation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as well as technology development and the construction and operation of new facilities. 5 refs.
