The U.S. Department of Energy Richland Operations Office (DOE-RL) is holding a 60-day public comment period from November 27, 2017, to January 31, 2018, for a Class 3 Permit Modification to the Hanford Dangerous Waste Permit. The modification is needed for the construction and operation of a proposed Capsule Storage Area, which would provide interim dry storage of cesium and strontium capsules currently at the Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility (WESF). This comment period is for one of two related public comment periods running concurrently. Another fact sheet, located on the Hanford Events Calendar, is for the modifications needed at WESF to facilitate transfer of the capsules to the proposed Capsule Storage Area.
The public comment period runs from November 27, 2017 to January 31, 2018, with a public meeting scheduled for December 13, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at the Richland Public Library (955 Northgate Drive). The meeting will also be accessible via webinar. To register go to: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/101595260413637633
