RICHLAND, Wash. – EM Richland Operations Office (RL) contractor CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company (CHPRC) completed revegetation this month at the former 618-10 burial ground, the final step in remediation of what was once one of Hanford’s most hazardous waste sites.

   The project represents the culmination of years of work to reduce a significant risk to groundwater and the nearby Columbia River.

   Workers hand-planted approximately 76,000 small shrubs grown from seeds collected at the Hanford Site as part of the revegetation effort. CHPRC project manager Mike Kruzic highlights the work in this video.
