Modifications to the Dangerous Waste Portion of the RCRA Site-wide Permit

October 20-December 8, 2008

The Washington State Department of Ecology is proposing a permit modification to the Dangerous Waste portion of the Hanford Facility Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Permit for the Treatment, Storage, and Disposal of Dangerous Waste.  The proposed modification deletes two appealed permit conditions and replaces them with three new proposed permit conditions.

Grout Treatment Facility Procedural Closure

November 3-December 19, 2008

The U.S. Department of Energy seeks a procedural closure for the Grout Treatment Facility, since USDOE has no further need for it.  The Grout Treatment Facility was supposed to treat the liquid portion of the double-shell tank waste and dispose of the waste in the underground grout vaults.  This never happened.  It has been in cold standby since 1993.
