Hanford Site
Information
Welcome messages from the directors of the Department of Energy Richland Operations Office and the Department of Energy Office of River Protection.
The FOIA establishes the premise that government information should be accessible to the people. Before the FOIA was signed in 1966, the burden was on the requester to demonstrate a need to know, and there were no judicial remedies for those denied access. With the passage of the FOIA, the standard of a need to know has become a right to know, and the burden has shifted to the government to prove why records should not be disclosed. Judicial remedies are also provided.
The DOE Digital Photo Archive serves as a centralized resource for thousands of photographs that depict the Department's various programs.

The U. S. Department of Energy, which operates the Hanford Site in South Central Washington State, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the State of Washington Department of Ecology signed a comprehensive cleanup and compliance agreement on May 15, 1989. The Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order, or Tri-Party Agreement, is an agreement for achieving compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) remedial action provisions and with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) treatment, storage, and disposal unit regulations and corrective action provisions. More specifically, the Tri-Party Agreement 1) defines and ranks CERCLA and RCRA cleanup commitments, 2) establishes responsibilities, 3) provides a basis for budgeting, and 4) reflects a concerted goal of achieving full regulatory compliance and remediation, with enforceable milestones in an aggressive manner.
