Title:

Progress at Hanford Site

Description:

As of late September 2010, the Richland Operations Office had spent more than $725 million of its Recovery Act allocation since launching work in April 2009, and progress in cleanup projects has been swift. Workers have demolished 30 facilities, remediated 23 waste sites, and installed more than 250 wells for monitoring and treating groundwater. Theyâve excavated 3.3 million cubic yards of soil for two new disposal cells that will increase capacity at the Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility by 50 percent, to 16.4 million tons of waste. In addition, workers have built a new groundwater treatment facility next to the Columbia River, and theyâve retrieved and treated hundreds of cubic meters of contaminated solid waste.
