CH2M-WG Idaho, LLC

The Idaho Cleanup Project is managed by CH2M-WG Idaho, LLC for the U. S. Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management. CH2M-WG Idaho is safely cleaning up the Idaho National Laboratory site — reducing risk to workers, the public, and the environment and protecting the Snake River Plain Aquifer.

The Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) involves the safe, environmental cleanup of the Idaho National Laboratory site, which has been contaminated with waste generated from World War II-era conventional weapons testing, government-owned research and defense reactors, laboratory research, and defense missions at other U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites. The 7-year, $2.9 billion cleanup project, funded through the DOE's Office of Environmental Management, focuses equally on reducing risks to workers, the public, and the environment and on protecting the Snake River Plain Aquifer, the sole drinking water source for more than 300,000 residents of eastern Idaho.

To reach our 2012 cleanup commitments, CH2M-WG Idaho will treat a million gallons of sodium-bearing waste, remove targeted transuranic waste from the subsurface disposal area, and demolish more than 200 structures including reactors, spent nuclear fuel storage basins, and labs used for radioactive experiments.
