Waste Management Working Group CTMA Point Clear, AL W. T. (Sonny) Goldston EnergySolutions Working Group Chair July 6 - 9, 2015

Working Group Mission and Scope The Energy Facility Contractors Group (EFCOG) Waste Management Working Group (WMWG) is chartered to leverage the expertise and experience of contractors to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The purpose of the WMWG is to seek out and promote the best management and operating practices, cost effective technologies and disposal options for all waste streams generated at DOE facilities whether destined for DOE or commercial facilities. The scope of the working group includes cradle to grave nuclear waste management considerations including waste generation, storage, treatment, disposal, packaging and transportation. 2

Organization and Restructuring On 8/14/2014 David Klaus, Deputy Under Secretary for Management and Performance called for a restructuring of the EFCOG resulting in 4 Working Groups (reduced from 12). Thanks in large part to Jim Portsmouth and Mike Waters of the Packaging & Transportation Subgroup, Renee Echols, Vice Chair of the WMWG and others on the Leadership Team, the Waste Management WG remained one of the 4 Working Groups. This was due to the value placed on our products by our DOE Liaison: Frank Marcinowski, Christine Gelles, and Ashok Kapoor. Our 2015 Work Plan was approved by Mr. Klaus, Mr. Marcinowski, and Ms. Gelles. 3
