Currently, all of that waste is classified as high-level, and some tanks were reported to have leaked.
But the federal energy department seeks to reclassify a potentially large percentage of the waste as lower-level waste, which would allow treatment and disposal options that would not guarantee long-term protection for local communities, groundwater and the Columbia River, Inslee said.
Ferguson also criticized the federal proposal by vowing non-tolerance of the "shortcuts in the federal government's cleanup of Hanford."
"Unilaterally re-classifying high-level waste based on criteria not found in statute, and without consultation with other regulators and states, is dangerous and wrong," he said.
