EA-1997: Construction Landfill Expansion, Pantex Plant, Amarillo, Texas

The NNSA has prepared an Environmental Assessment to analyze the potential environmental consequences of designing, constructing, and operating an approximately 28 acre expansion adjacent to the existing onsite Class 2 non-hazardous industrial solid waste landfill used to dispose of construction debris in accordance with the requirements of 30 TAC 335.2(d)(l) and 335.5. The current construction landfill area is nearing capacity, with the last available cell opened in September 2012 and anticipated to reach capacity in early 2019. The construction of an additional 28 acres of construction landfill is needed to ensure that the Pantex Plant would have the capability to safely and securely dispose of certain Class 2 non-hazardous construction waste onsite and avoid offsite transportation and disposal costs.
