Hanford Site
Public Involvement Opportunities
The Hanford Advisory Board is an independent, non-partisan, and broadly representative body consisting of a balanced mix of the diverse interests that are affected by Hanford cleanup issues. As set forth in its charter, the primary mission of the Board is to provide informed recommendations and advice to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) on selected major policy issues related to the cleanup of the Hanford site.
The U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) has initiated the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) five-year review at the Hanford Site. The first five-year review was conducted in 2000 by the EPA.
The Hanford Natural Resource Trustee Council is a collaborative working group chartered to address natural resources impacted by Hanford Site releases of hazardous substances.
