Summary 1 eve1 information pertaining t o low-level waste (LLWT i s described i n Appendix B. Emphasis i s placed on LLMW and TRU TRUM waste because i t will require processing and storage a t Hanford SolTd Waste's Central Waste Complex (CWC) p r i o r t o final disposal. The LLW will generally be sent directly t o disposal. The volume data was collected from onsite and offsite waste generators who currently s h i p or plan t o s h i p solid waste t o the Hanford Site.The volumes described i n detail are low-level mixed waste (LLMW) andThe total baseline volume of LLMW and TRU TRUM waste expected t o be received a t the CWC over the next 30 years i s Torecasted t o be over 235,560 cubic meters. Based on ranges provided by the waste generators, this baseline volume could fluctuate between a minimum of 203,690 cubic meters and a maximum of 260,500 cubic meters. The range is primarily due t o uncertaint i e s associated w i t h the Tank Waste Remediation System (TWRS) program. Uncertainties include the retrieval of the long-length equipment, scheduling, and tank retrieval technologies. ..The data reported i n this document estab1ish.a starting p o i n t for solid I t i s recognized that forecast estimates w i 11 waste management and planning. vary as f a c i l i t y planning and missions are more clearly defined.
