A big congratulations to the nearly 70 community groups that received a combined $284,000 in grants at the 3 Rivers Community Foundation's Celebration of Philanthropy last night. WRPS is proud to support the Foundation’s effort to invest donations from individuals, families, and charitable organizations and award income from those investments to deserving nonprofits in Benton and Franklin Counties.
WRPS started preparing for future waste retrieval operations in A Farm at the Hanford Site. Starting next year, crews will begin transferring waste from single-shell Tank A-101 to double-shell Tank AP-101 for safer storage until the waste can be treated. Fieldwork to prepare for retrieval has workers safely installed long-length equipment into the tank, including pumps and high-powered spray nozzles. ![]()

A Farm is made up of six underground tanks containing radioactive and chemical tank waste produced during the Cold War.
