PLEASE REFER TO HANDOUT 1 AND HANDOUT 2 OF YOUR TOUR

PACKET FOR A MAP OF THE HANFORD SITE AND FACILITIES WE WILL BE

VISITING TODAY NORTH OF THE WYE BARRICADE.

YOUR TOUR PACKET ALSO INCLUDES INFOMRATION REGARDING DOE’S

VISION, OPERATIONS OVERVIEW AND SEVERAL HANFORD SITE MAPS

THAT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST OR ASSIT YOU ON THE TOUR.

The Hanford Site has operating areas, industrial sites. As we travel north on

Route 4 south towards the operating areas of the Hanford Site 400 and 300

Areas, we will point out features of the 580-square-mile of the Hanford Site that

you may have heard about or seen for yourself.

The Hanford Site facilities and activities are consolidated within “operating areas”

that occupy about 6 percent of the site. Other improvements include electrical,

road, rail, and water systems. There are also easements, leases, and permits to

non-DOE parties to provide electrical, telecommunication and state road systems

on the Hanford Site. About 4 percent of the Site is surface contaminated, and 30

percent of the Site overlays contaminated groundwater from the past production

of defense nuclear materials. Continued DOE mission needs and residual

4

contamination at certain sites will place limitations on the property for future

development or release of property, such as:

Safety and security for the operation of existing facilities.

Waste sites and groundwater contamination

Deed restrictions from residual contamination left after cleanup.

Previous real estate rights granted by DOE to non-DOE parties.

The management of these activities required land use planning and

management consistent with all the necessary landlord services you would

expect for a large federal facility.  It includes overseeing open areas of land,

planning for new activities, managing borrow pits, performing surveillance and

maintenance of cleaned up waste sites, supporting RL on real estate activities,

and responding to situations occurring on federally owned land.

At Battle Boulevard start reading the following:

The Horn Rapids Road is the southern boundary of the Hanford Site as shown

on Handout 1 in your tour packet.

The Horn Rapids Road makes up part of the southern boundary of the Hanford

Site.

1641 acres lying east of Route 4 South, and immediately north of Hanford

Rapids Road was transferred to Tri-City Development Council, DOE’s

Community Re-Use Organization for industrial-economic development.

onsite are sent to the Records Holding Area (RHA), and maintained at the RHA

before being processed through to the Seattle FRC or Morgantown facility. The

current volume of boxes managed by the RHA staff is approximately 120,000

boxes.

These boxes represent records retired by nearly every on-site contractor and

predecessor contractor in Hanford’s history. The goal of the Richland

Operations Office is to digitize most of our holdings to facilitate fast retrieval and

secure preservation. Many of the records are past their disposition period, but

that is due to the steady imposition of hold orders in support of litigation.

13

There are records processing staff, who pull boxes and files upon request and

prepare major shipments, and records specialists who do sophisticated

document searches and maintain the databases. The facility processes between

80-115 requests for retrieval monthly.

HAMMER FAST FACTS

PLEASE REFER TO HANDOUT 6 OF YOUR TOUR PACKET FOR A MAP OF THE HAMMER FACILITY.

HAMMER stands for HAzardous Materials Management and Emergency Response. HAMMER for short.

HAMMER is the Department of Energy’s premier, hands-on, health and safety training center.

This 88-acre, state-of-the-art campus is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy Richland Operations Office, under Environmental Management, and is currently managed by Mission Support Alliance, LLC. HAMMER represents a partnership of Federal, Tribal and State governments, Labor, the Tri-City Development Council, academia, and industry. HAMMER is a model of collaboration between management and organized labor.

HAMMER is primarily a training complex for Hanford Site workers. HAMMER students learn to safely perform high-risk tasks through traditional classroom education sessions supported by hands-on training with life-sized props. The selection of life-sized props is the most expansive in the country.

HAMMER manages nationally recognized health and safety training programs, including a unique and highly effective worker-trainer program. This one-of-a-kind DOE program utilizes workers from the field to teach safety training classes at HAMMER for the Hanford workforce. Not only does this eliminate the need for, and the associated cost of outside instructors, but it raises the credibility of the training from the trainee's perspective. The instructor is someone they work alongside in the field, where he/she can provide guidance to fellow workers.

HAMMER, itself, has been recognized for safe operations. In 2002, HAMMER received Star status in DOE’s Voluntary Protection Program and proudly retains Superior Star. The Voluntary Protection Program promotes effective worksite-based safety and health.

In addition to providing training support to the Hanford Site, HAMMER maintains a collection of robust subject matter expertise and has become a critical resource to national and global customers. HAMMER has the ability to provide training support

15

on a wide array of activities including worker safety, critical infrastructure protection, emergency response, homeland security, U.S. Department of Transportation and non-proliferation issues.

Prior to exiting the bus read the following script:

Visitors get off the bus and go inside Federal Building through security.

We will be walking through the Hanford Operations Center and (EOC) and Joint

Information Center (JIC). If you have any questions please use the 3x5 cards

provided. Also as a reminder, no picture taking is allowed.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC)

(Walk-Through)

Visitors are escorted to Policy Team Room within EOC. EOC equipment is on and sample displays and maps are up.

Script reader moves to front of room by display screens.

Welcome to the Hanford Emergency Operations Center, or EOC. The EOC is a

facility maintained by DOE as a coordination center where personnel may

convene to provide essential response functions, including recommendations for

offsite protective actions, field monitoring and sampling, consequence

assessment, employee and public information, and oversight of Hanford related

protective actions and mitigation activities.

We are in the primary EOC – a dedicated facility maintained in a state of

readiness and staffed 24/7/365 by a Duty Officer. Hanford also has an alternate

30

EOC for use when the primary EOC is unavailable, which is not a dedicated

facility, and is set up by responding personnel. The alternate EOC is where your

tour began today and you will be returning there when we are done”

The EOC provides a centralized area for response to Hanford events, which

range from declared emergencies, to situations that require monitoring, such as

a power outage, a range fire, etc., or other situations that may cause public

concern or media interest.

A declared emergency occurring at a DOE facility on the Hanford Site will result

in a full EOC activation. Other situations that affect Hanford facilities or workers

will result in a partial activation of the EOC referred to as an Event Coordination

Team or ECT. This allows for a graded response, allowing EOC responders to

be called in as needed. Procedures are in place to transition from a partial

activation to a full EOC activation if necessary.

During Hanford events, personnel from offsite agencies (for example,

Washington, Oregon, local counties, FBI, FEMA) may arrive at the Hanford EOC

to coordinate the response to the event.

There are numerous emergency situations that may occur off the Hanford Site,

or at onsite facilities not under the control of DOE or its contractors, that could

impact site facilities or workers. DOE response may involve providing information

to workers, or implementing protective actions. Situations such as an offsite

31

hazardous materials release may require that actions be taken to protect the site,

or, if a severe event affects the surrounding community, DOE may provide

support and assistance to the community.

“Facilities such as Energy Northwest’s Columbia Generating Station, AREVA NP

and upstream Columbia River dams have specific emergency planning. This

planning enables DOE to predetermine appropriate levels of Hanford response

based on the severity of the event.

“This is the Policy Team table (on the speaker’s right); there are DOE staff at this

table that approve changes to onsite protective actions and any recommended

protective actions for offsite agencies. Also at this table are the DOE staff that

provide the communication links to DOE Headquarters and to our offsite

partners. The other seats are for representatives from our offsite partners who

may come here to coordinate the response.

This is the Site Management Team table (in the middle of the room) whose

primary objectives are to provide support and resources to the Incident

Commander, and to provide oversight of onsite response activities and overall

EOC operations. This table is staffed by DOE personnel, including the Security

Director, Facility Representative Liaison, and DOE Managers’ Representative;

and by contractor personnel, including the Site Emergency Director,

Consequence Assessment Director, and the Event Support Coordinator.

32

I’m going to describe three more functions that you can see as we leave this part

of the EOC to walk over to the Joint Information Center. We will exit down this

way (far left door) and you will see the Security Room, where DOE and

contractor personnel provide the interface with local law enforcement agencies,

on-site Hanford Patrol activities, and interface with the FBI if necessary. In

addition, there are Protective Action Coordinators in this room that answer

protective action questions from site workers.

“Next as we go back toward the EOC Entrance you will see the Unified Dose

Assessment Center (UDAC) where we can model in real time the radiological or

chemical consequences of the event with live data from the meteorological

stations on the site. In this room there is also a classified conference room with

secure communications capabilities.”

Next is the Emergency Operations Center Shift Office where the 24/7 Duty

Officers are located.

We will now cross the elevator lobby and enter the Joint Information Center or

JIC and gather in the center of the room.

The primary objective of the JIC is the dissemination of timely and accurate

emergency information regarding Hanford activities to employees, the public and

33

the media. The JIC has DOE, contractor personnel as well as representatives

from our local offsite agencies. Personnel in the JIC respond to media and

public phone calls, and monitor media sources for rumors and misinformation.

This concludes the tour of the Emergency Operations Center.

While still in the basement of the Federal Building point to the general location of room G4, Data Center and read the following Script:

Federal Building

G4 Data Center

Here In the basement of the Federal Building, down the hall, is room G4 that

house the data center or telecommunication server room. The data center

supports the Hanford Local Area Network (HLAN) in conjunction with the 339A

building on the Site which we already visited. This equipment (in conjunction

with that in 339A) provides the network services for ~450 HLAN users in the

Federal Building and ~ 8550 users on the Site. The network has a reliability of

99+ % historically. The MSC scope includes developing a business case related

to moving out of this facility to support data center cost saving initiatives.

Tour concludes south of the Wye Barricade.
