CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company (CHPRC), a subsidiary of Jacobs, is the prime contractor for the safe environmental cleanup of the Central Plateau and River Corridor at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hanford Site in Richland, Washington.
During the contract from 2008 to 2019, dedicated and talented CHPRC employees and subcontractors reduced risk on the Hanford Site by removing some of DOE’s highest hazard waste streams and facilities, from cleaning up contaminated groundwater plumes before they reach the Columbia River, to removing highly radioactive "sludge," to decommissioning and demolishing the Plutonium Finishing Plant, which once housed secret stores of material for the nation’s defense.
CHPRC is driven by one mission - reducing risk on the Hanford Site. CHPRC is supporting DOE's priority to clean up the River Corridor, a 220-square-mile area of the Hanford Site along the Columbia River. The Columbia River was vital to the nation's weapons production program; water from the river cooled the nine reactors along the river's shore. Hanford's 300 Area, a complex of facilities used to conduct experiments as well as manufacture equipment for use throughout the Site, is also located near the river.
CHPRC is part of Jacobs. Jacobs leads the global professional services sector providing solutions for a more connected, sustainable world. With approximately $12 billion in revenue and a talent force of more than 50,000, Jacobs provides a full spectrum of services including scientific, technical, professional and construction- and program-management for business, industrial, commercial, government and infrastructure sectors.
