Washington Closure Hanford has selected three local businesses to do $12 million work of work to help backfill Hanford waste sites and burial grounds after they are cleaned up. George A Grant Inc., North Wind Inc., and Watts Construction, Inc., all of the Tri-Cities, will provide backfill services as needed through 2013.
Over the next several years Washington Closure Hanford workers will remove more than 2.5 million cubic yards of contaminated material as part of cleanup of the river corridor. That includes work in or near the 300 Area and work around the nine reactors that once produced the plutonium for the nation’s nuclear weapons program.
