The Washington State Dept. of Ecology granted permits needed for the Vit Plant's plan to turn waste into vitrified glass and finish building an Effluent Management Facility.
An additional 40 tons of structural steel is sitting on the Dept. of Energy Hanford Nuclear Waste Site in southeast Washington, where Bechtel National Inc. plans a new tower as part of the multi-billion-dollar Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant.
