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.

Utility and infrastructure needs for private tank waste processing

“…According to waste projection studies (Valero 1995) and the assumption that fbture waste isotopes will be similar to past receipts, the excess capacity for existing TRU storage at both TRU SAF and the CWC is roughly estimated to become depleted in 1998. WIPP and new treatment options may become available to alleviate TRU and TRUM storage needs.…”

1993 baseline solid waste management system description

“…The system will also manage waste volumes that will be generated over the next 30 years by various on-and offsite programs. These programs are defined below and further defined in 1995 Solid Waste 30-Year Volume Summary (Valero et al 1995…”

“…During treatment, such wastes will be subdivided into TRU-TRUM, LLMW, and LLW components. All waste stream labels are defined in the acronym list, and more information about forecast waste volumes is provided in the annual forecast documents, the latest being the 1995 Solid Waste 30-Year Volume Summaw (Valero et al 1995). That document addresses uncertainties associated with the data.…”

“…The . most recent compilation of these forecasts is the 1995 Solid Waste 30-Year Volume Summary (Valero et al 1995). A brief summary of these waste programs is provided below, and is taken directly from that document.…”
