Waste disposal solution presented to the U.S. Department of Energy Texas-based Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) has presented the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with an innovative proposal that could save hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars while ensuring safer, more efficient disposal of DOE's huge and growing stockpile of low-level and mixed radioactive wastes. The proposal seeks DOE authorization of WCS' Andrews County, Texas facility as a disposal site for much of the waste from DOE's weapons-complex cleanup. clean-up. "We're offering DOE a safe.

'They've got to dispose of millions of cubic meters of waste in the next two decades, and our proposal is precisely the type of creative solution DOe has been looking for." The proposal preserves DOE's legal authority over its radioactive wastes, but offers a unique approach to regulatory oversight: an independent private sectoracademia body led by Texas Tech University to review and approve WCS' application and oversee the continuing operation of the site. The new body would augment the already stringent oversight the facility receives from a host of federal and state regulatory agencies. "Right now one firm virtually controls the commercial disposal of DOE's waste," Bigham said. "Authorization of our site will replace a monopoly with head-to-head competition. That adds up to big savings." "Our facility is in the right place at the right time," added Bigham. "We've got superior geology and hydrology plus unprecedented community support." The site uses cutting-edge technology and engineering and will be organized as a "campus" of complementary facilities: a hazardous waste facility, separate disposal cells to maximize control and monitoring, an advanced research and development center focusing on waste treatment and reduction, and much more. The WCS facility in Andrews County is nw permitted t accept hazardous and toxic waste as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act. The company is seeking U.S. Department of Energy authorization to dispose of federal low-level radioactive and mixed wastes. The proposal was presented to U.S. DOE's Office of Environmental Management. Arrive alive... don't drink and drive. f s Saturday Jan. 4 CONTROLS .
