In 1996, the Department of Energy (Department) amended its Tri-Party Agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Washington regarding cleanup of the Hanford Site. Included in the amendment was an enforceable milestone that the Department would remove about 10,000 containers of transuranic (TRU) waste from Trench 4, located in Hanford's Low-Level Burial Grounds, by the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2004. The Richland Operations Office established a related goal to process and ship all of the site's legacy TRU waste – estimated at about 38,000 containers – to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) by 2027. In 2002, the Office of Environmental Management began a program to accelerate risk reduction and cleanup across the Department complex. As part of this program, Environmental Management developed performance management plans with each site to identify specific initiatives and deadlines for accelerating risk reduction. In August 2002, the Richland Operations Office issued its Hanford Performance Management Plan, and revised its performance goal for processing and shipping TRU waste to WIPP from 2027 to 2015.

The Community Reuse Organization of East Tennessee (CROET), with Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC, (Bechtel Jacobs) assistance, has acted as a leasing agent to attract private companies interested in leasing buildings, space, and equipment at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP). The Department of Energy (Department) leased facilities and equipment to CROET at no cost, and CROET sublet these facilities to commercial companies. CROET attracted tenants with innovative leasing arrangements such as favorable lease terms for buildings where commercial entities assumed some or all of the responsibility for cleanup activities.
