RICHLAND, Wash. – EM Richland Operations Office contractor CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company (CHPRC) is in the final stages of preparing to begin a sludge removal project at Hanford. In May, CHPRC will start removing highly radioactive sludge stored near the Columbia River to a safe location in the center of the site. Removing the sludge from near the river will reduce risk to human health and the environment, and reduce lifecycle costs of maintaining the basin where the sludge has been stored.
