The Department of Energy awarded Waste Control Specialists a task order yesterday to dispose of Class C mixed low level waste from the Los Alamos National Laboratory Legacy Waste Project. The fixed-price task order calls for the disposal of 364.9 cubic yards of waste generated at the DOE Los Alamos National Laboratory from cleanup and remediation activities. The task order is set at a fixed-price of $2,287,193 for a one year performance period. WCS is currently the only site capable of disposing of Class C low level waste.
