Mission
The Oregon Legislative Assembly set out three purposes of the Oregon Hanford Cleanup Board when it created the Board in 1987:
- To serve as the focal point for all policy discussions within the state government concerning the disposal of high-level radioactive waste in the northwest region;
- To recommend a state policy to the Governor and the Legislative Assembly; and
- To make policy recommendations, after consultation with the Governor, on other issues related to the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington (pdf map courtesy of the US Dept. of Energy), including defense wastes, disposal and treatment of chemical waste, and plutonium production.
The Oregon Hanford Cleanup Board meets at locations throughout Oregon. Its meetings are open to the public and the public is encouraged to attend and participate. At the meetings, representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy, contractors, Washington Department of Ecology, Oregon Hanford Cleanup Board staff, and other state and federal agency representatives brief the Board about a wide variety of issues associated with the Hanford Site.
