Finally, source reduction should not be taken as any more than an important component in a wel1-conceived waste management plan. Field experience and the literature show clearly that source reduction, while ripe for exploitation as a preferred method of waste management by the electroplating industry, cannot eliminate waste generation.

It is important that personnel at all levels—department heads, supervisors, academic faculty—exhibit a sincere and open interest in the waste management plan, and each one supports the other continuously. It is not sufficient to support the plan at its outset and to assume that it will then operate. Success depends on the participation and cooperation of the laboratory workers, who will be conditioned by their perception of management commitment. Any program that must be perceived and has only nominal support will come to be ignored by laboratory personnel. 

The documents should describe all aspects of the system for the particular laboratory and should spell out responsibilities and specific procedures to be performed by laboratory personnel, supervisors, management, and waste management organizations. The waste management plan should be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that it covers changes that may have occurred in laboratory operations. 

Policies and practices for reducing the waste volume generated in the laboratory and for avoiding special disposal problems should be an integral part of the waste management plan. 

Some additional description of the objectives and implementation of the present Hanford Waste Management plan is presented in the first part of this review paper. The discussion is deliberately restricted, however, since this technology has been adequately reviewed in detail by various speakers and authors (1-5). Recent papers by Lenneman (2), Smith (4), and Larson (5) are particularly informative. A bibliography of publicly available literature concerning radioactive waste management at Hanford has also just lately been published (6).

Projected emissions from the waste sector were based on levels of regional waste generation and on the implementation of Regional Waste Management Plans. The implementation of these plans has resulted in increased recycling rates and this trend is projected to continue. However due to the time lag in decomposition (CH4 emissions from landfills peak three to seven years after materials are deposited) the benefits of this recycling will not accrue immediately. The uncertainty regarding the diversion of waste from landfills to planned municipal waste incinerators also complicated projections in this sector. 

Chapter 6 presents alternatives to current waste management plans for each site that PMACWA may wish to consider, including offsite disposal of several major waste streams.
