DOE Selects CH2M HILL to Lead Cleanup Effort at Hanford Site
Reported by Marc Zocher in Washington State
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that CH2M HILL LLC, a global full-service engineering, procurement, construction, and operations firm, has been selected to lead the $4.5 billion Plateau Remediation Contract (PRC). The contract will cover ten years (five-year base period with the option to extend it for another five years). The PRC is a multi-year project focusing on the safe, environmental cleanup of the Central Plateau of DOE's Hanford Site.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the local Department of Energy leadership, Washington delegation, local regulators and other stakeholders to make this project a world-class success," said CH2M HILL Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ralph Peterson (pictured). "We have assembled a management team with unmatched capability that will do everything possible to deliver results that are protective of the environment and the Columbia Basin."
The scope of work includes treatment and disposal of various radioactive waste streams, groundwater, management of spent nuclear fuel, disposal or disposition of nuclear materials, demolition of non-reactor nuclear facilities and environmental remediation activities currently funded through DOE's Office of Environmental Management.
CH2M HILL will serve as a prime contractor, working with several major subcontractors, including Fluor and AREVA. The company plans to work with pre-qualified small businesses to meet aggressive cleanup milestones, which has been a key component of the company's success in Washington State as well as Rocky Flats, Mound, and Idaho.
