The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Richland Operations Office (RL) is responsible for the management of Hanford Site property. RL has issued the Mission Support Contract (MSC) to provide direct support to RL, DOE Office River Protection (ORP) and its contractors with cost-effective infrastructure and site services integral and necessary to accomplish the Hanford Site environmental cleanup mission. The MSC includes support to assist RL with the day-to-day implementation of comprehensive land-use planning and land management activities. The Land Management function includes long-term stewardship activities necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment following completion of remediation, disposal, or stabilization of a CERLCA or RCRA site.
Land management functions include:
- Providing site planning services and oversight for all new facilities, infrastructure systems, land improvements, or change of land use.
- Providing new and renewed licenses, permits, and easements on the Hanford Site for non-DOE use.
- Preparing for long-term stewardship on post-cleanup lands.
- Maintaining controls and providing long-term surveillance and maintenance on post-cleanup lands.
All non-DOE uses, (e.g. commercial ventures and other government agency proposals) must be reviewed and approved by RL prior to access being granted through a real estate agreement.
