Information Sharing
General Updates
The status of normal Groundwater Remediation Project activities is available
to all interested parties on a regular basis through established reports
and meetings. Links to reports and information about meetings can be found
on the Groundwater Remediation Project website. Meeting reminders and agency-requested
copies of reports are also transmitted via email, Hanford plant mail, and
U.S. mail.
The Groundwater Remediation Project provides regular updates to the general
public, tribal nations, regulators, the state of Oregon, and other interested
parties during monthly
open meetings. These are held the first Monday of every month.
Regular updates are provided by the Groundwater Protection Program to Hanford Advisory Board members
through monthly River and Plateau Committee Meetings. Typically, these occur during the second
week of each month.
Reportable Events
If a significant adverse condition occurs, Groundwater Remediation Project
team members follow established procedures detailed in documents such as
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, Reporting Occurrences and Processing
Operations Information, Environmental Notifications and Reporting, and Waste
Disposal/Groundwater Remediation Project Occurrence/Emergency Notification.
This process supports compliance with DOE orders and state and federal regulations
and assures that the Occurrence Notification Center, the U.S. Department
of Energy, regulators, Fluor Hanford senior management, and others are notified,
as appropriate.
Emerging Issues
The Groundwater Remediation Project keeps stakeholders informed of emerging
issues, as necessary. It is important to the Groundwater Remediation Project
that stakeholders are kept current of organizational issues, since many
issues impact stakeholder perceptions about program priorities and directions.
