Hanford truck traffic update
On June 29, 2015, LHO received a forwarded email from Hanford site personnel which contained this comment:  "Beginning Monday, July 6, there will be an increase in truck traffic . . . near the 300 Area. Waste material will be shipped to the Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility in central Hanford. The remediation effort will continue until the spring of 2016 . . . truck traffic will be present between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m."  The truck traffic mentioned here is the familiar ~30-ton loads in orange containers riding on transport trucks from the Hanford 300 area (~12 miles SE of LHO) to the ERDF pit (~10 miles W of LHO).  One of our site contacts indicates that we can expect about 120 loads per day to ERDF (meaning 2x round trips, but the reverse trip is with an empty container).  At present the hauling contractor anticipates that the loads will move only on the day shift, but these plans could change.  Current daytime PEM-SEIS 1-3Hz plots show this additional traffic.
