wastes containing polychlorinated

biphenyls (PCBs) and other hazardous

constituents. Waste categories to be

addressed include inorganic

homogeneous solids, organic

homogeneous solids, and soils. The

Panel will also evaluate whether the

emerging non-incineration technologies

could be implemented in a manner that

would allow the Department of Energy

to comply with all legal requirements,

including those contained in the

Settlement Agreement and Consent

Order signed by the State of Idaho,

Department of Energy, and the U.S.

Navy in October 1995.

Tentative Agenda
