Plutonium and Highly Enriched

Uranium and the Disposition of Surplus

Plutonium, Sites Considered: Hanford

Site, Idaho National Engineering Lab.,

Summary: EPA’s review identified

potentially signifcant environmental

impacts that should be avoided in order

to adequately protect the environment,

include commitments in the EIS to

situations to ensure the protection by

mitigation for important resources, i.e.,

live bottom, topographic features,

archaeological resources and military

areas. EPA also found that the draft does

not contain sufficient information to

fully assess environmental impacts in

such areas as impacts to Canada,

environmental justice concerns, and

leasing proposals included in one

alternative.
