The Hanford Natural Resource Trustee Council (HNRTC) is a collaborative working group chartered to address natural resources impacted by Hanford Site releases of hazardous substances. The objectives of the HNRTC are:
-
To help ensure that natural resource values are fully considered in decision-making related to the Hanford Site.
-
To integrate, to the extent practicable, natural resource restoration into cleanup actions and to minimize additional injuries to natural resources during cleanup.
-
To encourage the development and implementation of sitewide natural resource planning which supports mitigation, restoration, and management goals, and encompasses good stewardship practices.
