Public Comment Period on Proposed Changes to the Hanford Dangerous Waste Permit

The U.S. Department of Energy is holding a 60-day public comment period on a proposed Class 2 permit modification to the Hanford Dangerous Waste Permit. This proposed permit modification is required to install and operate a carbon dioxide removal skid at the Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF). The removal skid is a filtering system that will remove excess carbon dioxide generated during the wastewater treatment process. This additional capability is necessary to treat the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant Effluent Management Facility waste.

The Liquid Effluent Retention Facility and ETF are mixed-waste treatment and storage units for treating liquid effluents from operating Hanford cleanup facilities. These facilities include the 242-A Evaporator and the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant’s Effluent Management Facility (when it becomes operational) to support treating tank waste using the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste approach.

The comment period runs from March 31 through May 29, 2022. A virtual public meeting will be held May 3 at 5:30 p.m. PT. To participate via Microsoft Teams, please follow the instructions below:
