Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure, LLC (H2C)
The Solution Today for a Better Tomorrow
Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure’s mission is to deliver exceptional performance in safely removing, treating, and disposing of tank waste for the U.S. Department of Energy. H2C leads the nation’s largest and most complex radioactive waste cleanup, including closure of the legacy waste tanks at the Hanford Site in Washington state containing 56 million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste.
Eventually, H2C will operate portions of the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant, providing final treatment and disposal of Hanford tank waste.
Our team brings the capabilities necessary to reduce the nation’s environmental liability and risk, accelerate tank waste disposition, and decrease lifecycle costs — achieving our vision of solving the Department of Energy’s largest environmental challenge in order to provide a positive legacy for future generations.
H2C is a joint venture of BWX Technologies, Inc., (BWXT), Amentum, and Fluor companies. The three parent companies are joined by four teaming subcontractors: dss+; DBD, Inc.; Longenecker and Associates, Inc.; and INTERA.

We commit to begin the contract by offering 18% of the year-one contract value (more than $300 million) to small business and building the engagement infrastructure to increase that by a half-percent each year until Fiscal Year 2027, when we reach 20% of that year’s contract value.

Environmental Management System
In support of its commitment to protect the environment, Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure (H2C) has an established Environmental Management System, or EMS. EMS provides mechanisms for responding to changing environmental conditions and requirements, reporting on environmental performance, and reinforcing continuous improvement. This approach ensures environmental impacts are systematically identified, controlled, and monitored. Significant impacts and aspects associated with day-to-day work activities and operations are evaluated. H2C conforms to the International Organization for Standardization.
The scope of the ISO 14001 EMS includes those operations managed by H2C through its contract with the DOE’s Hanford Field Office at or near the Hanford Site, and applies to all persons doing work under its control.
H2C is committed to protecting the environment during the completion of our contract mission by maintaining an EMS that serves as a framework to ensure tank operations and related activities are conducted in a safe, compliant, and resource-effective manner.
H2C senior management fully endorses this policy statement to achieve the following goals:
Conservation: Incorporate continual improvement to maintain and enhance environmental resilience
Prevention of Pollution: Integrate pollution prevention, resource conservation, and other sustainable practices into planning, procurement, and execution of work
Regulatory Compliance: Comply with applicable legal and contractual environmental protection requirements
The Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) is the umbrella under which H2C operates. It dictates how work is conducted and protects the safety and health of workers, the public, and the environment.
