Idaho DEQ accepting public comment on Idaho National Laboratory Site Treatment Plan

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality will be accepting public comment on the Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) annual update to its Site Treatment Plan (STP) until December 31.

The STP dictates how the laboratory, operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will manage mixed wastes at its facilities. In its annual update, the DOE specifies how the INL will stay in compliance with changed milestones, covered waste systems and waste treatment plans both at the laboratory and for off-site mixed waste included in the STP.

The DEQ is accepting public comments submitted on its website or via mail to its Boise state office. All information pertaining to the STP can be viewed online or at the DEQ State Office and DEQ Idaho Falls Regional Office.
