February 24 – February 28, 2013 ♦ Phoenix, Arizona Session #110 Collaboration in Long-Term Stewardship at DOE’s Hanford Site - Abstract # *Rick Moren, PG, *David Brown, **Ella Fiest, ***Keith Grindstaff, PMP, ***Jamie Zeisloft *Mission Support Alliance, LLC, Richland, WA **Washington Closure Hanford, LLC, Richland WA ***US Department of Energy, Richland Operations, Richland WA

Background/History Hanford Site Pu Production 1989 Placed on NPL 1998 Initial discussions of LTS 2010 DOE/RL LTS Program 2011 First land to LTS 2013 First reactor to LTS

LTS Today 3 DOE Programs 3 Contractors 3 Periods of Performance 3 Incentives

Contractors  Mission Support Alliance (MSA) LLC (Services)  Washington Closure Hanford (WCH) (River Corridor Closure)  CH2MHill Plateau Remediation Company (PRC) (Central Plateau Cleanup)

Hanford’s LTS Program

Collaboration Elements Integrated Project Team o DOE SMEs Technical and Contracts o Contractor SMEs o Meet Bi-weekly o Bias toward action – personal accountability o Builds relationships and working trust o Issues solved at lowest appropriate level o Collaborative innovation o Risk management

Collaboration Transition package prepared by all three contractors Differing performance incentives/contract Change from one transition to 14 transitions w/o significant REA Allowed more efficient transition New discovery process tested in first transition

Transition Schedule YEAR # Schedule is accelerating into 2015 o New ideas to speed the process o ISS reactor transition o Combine parcels

LTS Progress 3 transitions 98 mi 2 to date 1 cocooned reactor in 2013 >149 Waste Sites Institutional Controls Vegetation Monitoring Remedy Assessments

ISS Reactor Transition Transition 5 cocooned reactors in years early Reschedule S&M activities cost savings and efficiency 105-C H DR, 105-D N 2015

Benefits of Collaboration High performing team Multiple transitions promotes efficient closeout for WCH and DOE Closure documentation on a manageable scale MSA directly supports cleanup mission and RL site vision

Conclusions Collaboration is essential for effective progress Transparency and open communication drive collaboration Strong team relationships and individual accountability result in long term progress Strong DOE leadership
