For the management of low- level waste (LLW) analyzed in the Final Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (WM PEIS), the Department of Energy (DOE) has decided to perform minimum treatment at all sites and continue, to the extent practicable, disposal of on- site LLW at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) in Tennessee, and the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. In addition, the Department has decided to make the Hanford Site in Washington and the Nevada Test Site (NTS) available to all DOE sites for LLW disposal.

Under the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980 (Act), States were responsible for providing for disposal of commercial low- level radioactive waste. They were encouraged to enter into compacts to facilitate the development of new disposal sites. The Department of Energy (Department) was required to provide technical assistance to support States and compact regions in developing such facilities. In 1990, the Department was also directed by the Congress to provide assistance in establishing an independent, self-directed association through which States and compact regions could accomplish low- level waste disposal objectives.
