Description:
Using Recovery Act funding, contractors are expanding the site's disposal facility for low-level waste so that it can receive additional debris, waste, and contaminated soil from dozens of cleanup projects at the Hanford Site. To construct new disposal cells at the Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility, workers will be excavating about 1.7 million cubic yards of soil. In this photo, excavation workers are making progress on super cell 9.
