Infrastructure Reduction

As the WVDP moves toward site closure, the number of facilities required to carry out the DOE mission has decreased. Large-scale infrastructure reduction activities at the site have significantly reduced the number of structures on the site. From now through 2011, WVES expects to remove about 60 additional structures, further preparing the site for future long-term management and eventual closure. Major facilities to be removed during this period include:

• Outdoor material storage areas,
• Storage facilities, including areas used for the storage of waste and materials associated with operation of the facility,
• Removal of wastewater treatment facilities, and
• Removal of waste transfer lines and isolation of the waste tanks in the Waste Tank Farm.
