Electrical

Status: Four substations and 200-plus miles of high-voltage transmission and distribution system equipment provides more

than 20 megawatts of power from the power utility to the Hanford Site. The Bonneville Power Administration uses Hanford’s system to transmit 100 megawatts of power to surrounding areas.The system is beyond its design life and failures are occurring. Some system upgrades have been initiated.

Needs for the Future: Renovated and right-sized electrical system that supports cleanup on Hanford’s Central Plateau.

Cleanup of Hanford’s legacy of plutonium

production continues, with state-of-the-art

waste and groundwater treatment

facilities, demolition of hundreds of

facilities, and cleanup of hundreds of sites

with contaminated soil and waste.

Right-sizing and renovating Hanford’s

infrastructure for continued safe and

effective cleanup operations is ensuring

the Department continues to protect

workers, the public, and the environment

as land is restored for controlled public

access and use.INFRASTRUCTURE

SUPPORTS HANFORD’S

ENVIRONMENTAL

MANAGEMENT MISSION:

Renovation and modernization of old and antiquated infrastructure to achieve reliable and maintainable infrastructure for Hanford’s cleanup mission supports:

• Treatment, storage and disposal of Hanford’s Tank Waste

• Continued treatment of groundwater to remove contaminants

• Continued cleanup of contaminated facilities and soil sites

• Continued storage, treatment and disposal of solid waste containing

hazardous chemicals and radioactive material

• Long-term monitoring and stewardship of remaining lands

Reliable infrastructure provides:

• Safe and secure site with emergency response capability

• Electrical utilities, roads, water, sewer, security, emergency response

capability, Information Technology, and other services

Ensuring reliable infrastructure requires renovation to:

• reduce the infrastructure footprint

and update existing systems (reliability, maintainability)

• Supply infrastructure to new facilities (systems designed to service

historical missions)

Hanford’s infrastructure organization also supports lease agreements with:

• Columbia Generating Station-400 MW Utility

• Laser Inferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO)

H A N F O R DInfrastructure Needs for the Future

Water (Raw, and Potable) Status: More than 50 miles of distribution piping and a water system that includes 4 pump houses, 4 reservoirs, 2 large potable water storage tanks, and a water treatment facility. Many system components are more than 70 years old, and the

system is experiencing line breakages and leaks.

Needs for the Future: A renovated and right-sized water system that supports cleanup on Hanford's Central Plateau.

Infrastructure Status and NeedsInfrastructure Status and Needs

SewerStatus: Hanford’s sewer system consists of 37 aging septic tanks and subsurface soil absorption systems of varying size and complexity and a newer, 31-acre evaporative lagoon complex that began operating in 2012. As soil absorption systems fail or approach the end of their useful life, holding tanks are installed and sewage is pumped and trucked to the evaporative lagoon.

Needs for the Future: Upgraded sewer system that supports consolidated treatment and cleanup on Hanford’s Central Plateau.

200 West AreaEvaporative

Sewer Lagoon

Roads

Status: There are approximately 200 miles of road, with 1 million square yards of paved surfaces up to 45 years old. Primary roads are in need of

upgrading and secondary roads have deteriorated.

Needs for the Future: Renovated primary roads that support cleanup on Hanford’s Central Plateau.

A Look Ahead

Hanford’s Infrastructure Story

• 1943-1980’s: Hanford was established during WWII

to support the Manhattan Project. Production and

research was expanded during the Cold War. Nine

production reactors, several test reactors,

hundreds of buildings and structures for chemical

processing and laboratory research were built in

this period, along with accompanying electrical,

water, and sewer systems, as well as transportation

infrastructure (roads, railways).

• 1980’s-2005: The Cold War ends, production of

plutonium at Hanford ceases, and a new era begins

to assess and clean up a legacy of extensive

contamination in facilities, soil, and groundwater. In

1989, a landmark agreement was reached between

the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency and the State of

Washington, called the Tri-Party Agreement. This

agreement formed a framework for monitoring and

cleanup of Hanford’s legacy contamination, one of

the largest cleanup efforts in the world. Cleanup

work began, some major cleanup projects and

infrastructure upgrades were completed.

Information technology upgrades are installed.

• 2005-2015: Cleanup efforts in areas along the

Columbia River, which runs through the site, near

completion, shrinking the active footprint of

cleanup area to Hanford’s Central Plateau and inner

areas. During this era, DOE maintains Hanford’s

critical infrastructure, and the need for upgrades to

infrastructure is known.

• Beyond 2015: Renovation and right-sizing of

Hanford’s infrastructure is needed as most future

cleanup efforts at the site are concentrated in

Hanford’s Central Plateau (includes Tank Waste

Treatment Plant (WTP)). Renovation needs include

the site’s systems for raw and potable water,

electricity, sewer, information technology and

transportation.
