This Community Relations Plan outlines the public participation processes implemented by the Tri-Parties under authority of the Tri-Party Agreement, and identifies several ways the public can participate in the Hanford Site cleanup decision-making process. In many cases, Hanford public involvement goes beyond what is required by law because the Tri-Parties believe public involvement is essential to cleanup success. The Tri-Parties conduct public involvement and information activities both cooperatively and independently.
