This EIS was being prepared to evaluate the environmental impacts of a proposal to enter into a contract with a licensed natural gas supplier in Washington State to construct, operate, and maintain a natural gas pipeline. The pipeline would deliver natural gas to support the Waste Treatment Plant and the 242-A Evaporator operations in the 200 East Area of the Hanford Site.
DOE postponed preparation of this EIS to better align the completion of the EIS with planned future operations of facilities on Hanford’s Central Plateau (such as Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant). The EIS was subsequently canceled.
