Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis for Groundwater Extraction and Treatment in the 200-BP-5 Area

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invites you to provide input on an engineering evaluation/cost analysis (EE/CA) to evaluate approaches for the extraction and treatment of groundwater in the 200-BP-5 Operable Unit in the 200 East Area of the Hanford Site, about 20 miles north of Richland. The 200-BP-5 Operable Unit contains contaminant plumes in the groundwater in the vicinity of the B Complex Area, which includes the BX, BY, and B Tank Farms.

DOE, with concurrence from the Washington State Department of Ecology, has issued an EE/CA that evaluates the proposed cleanup options and identifies a preferred cleanup alternative. The EE/CA is being issued for a 30-day public comment period from April 18 through May 20, 2016.

Copies of the EE/CA and supporting documentation are available at the Administrative Record, 2440 Stevens Drive, Richland, WA or online: http://pdw.hanford.gov/arpir/index.cfm/viewDoc?accession=0077225H
