Columbia River Basin Chapter of the Project Management Institute Announces Winner of the 2009 Project-of-the-Year Award
On March 3, at the TRAC Holiday Inn Express in Pasco, the Columbia River Basin Chapter (CRBC) of the Project Management Institute (PMI) announced that the 618-7 Burial Ground Remediation Project submitted by Washington Closure Hanford (WCH) was the winner of the local 2009 Project-of-the-Year Award. The award was presented by the local chapter president, Ken Albin, to John Darby the WCH Project Manager. This year’s award was the 15th consecutive annual award presented by the local chapter.
Mr. Darby presented an over view of the project to the attendees. The project involved the remediation of the three trenches within the burial ground. This effort included the excavation of about 19,000 cubic meters (670,000 cubic feet) of uncontaminated overburden material; and excavation, sorting, and load out of 50,000 cubic meters or about 114,000 metric tons (1,800,000 cubic feet or about 126,000 tons) of contaminated soil and debris for disposal at the onsite disposal facility. Also included was the processing of up to 75 anomalous waste items, which required further investigation, characterization, and stabilization/treatment prior to disposal.
The project will now be presented to PMI Headquarters for consideration for the international award. Last year the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s submittal Waste Treatment Plant Seismic Boreholes Project submitted by Battelle was a runner-up for the International Award.
