| Event: | 60-Day Comment Period on Proposed Modifications to the Hanford Facility Sitewide Dangerous Waste Permit |
| Category: | Public Comment Periods |
| Event Date: | 01/23/2017 |
Notice of upcoming public comment period on proposed modifications to the Hanford Facility Dangerous Waste Permit. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Richland Operations Office is proposing a modification to the Hanford Facility Dangerous Waste Permit. The proposed modification changes groundwater monitoring requirements for the 300 Area Process Trenches and the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) units. Waste management operations at the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins ceased in 1985. Because contamination remained in the soil following closure activities, post-closure groundwater monitoring was necessary. Liquid waste discharges to the 300 Area Process Trenches ceased in 1994. Because contamination remained in the groundwater following closure activities, post-closure groundwater monitoring was necessary. DOE is releasing the proposed permit change information for public comment. The changes will be processed as a Class 2 modification. The proposed Class 2 permit changes require a 60?day comment period and public meeting led by the permittee (DOE), which will run from January 23 through March 24, 2017. Contact: Rich Buel |
