Notice of Intent To Prepare a Hanford Site Solid (Radioactive and Hazardous) Waste Program; Environmental Impact Statement, Richland, WA

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces its intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Solid Waste Program at the Hanford Site, and to conduct a public scoping process pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The Hanford Site Solid Waste Program manages several types of solid wastes at the Hanford Site, including low-level, mixed low-level, transuranic and mixed transuranic, and hazardous wastes, and contaminated equipment. Mixed wastes contain radioactive and hazardous components. Other solid waste types (i.e., municipal solid waste, high-level waste, remediation waste) and spent nuclear fuel are managed by other Hanford Site programs. The Hanford Site Solid (Radioactive and Hazardous) Waste Program EIS will evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with ongoing activities of the Hanford Site Solid Waste Program, the implementation of programmatic decisions resulting from the Final Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (WM PEIS, DOE/ EIS-0200-F), and reasonably foreseeable treatment, storage, and disposal facilities/activities. The EIS will evaluate alter
