US ECOLOGY WASHINGTON INC

US ECOLOGY WASHINGTON INC specializes in the collection and disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) for federal defense and energy missions. The contractor provides end-to-end logistical and regulatory compliance services for LLRW, including transportation, site availability management, and disposal coordination at licensed facilities. Their technical expertise centers on handling radiologically contaminated materials under strict NRC and DOT regulations, with demonstrated experience in supporting naval shipyards and defense installations through timely waste removal and disposal chain coordination. A key differentiator is their ability to manage complex, mission-critical waste streams requiring precise documentation, regulatory reporting, and interagency coordination, particularly for Department of Defense sites requiring sustained operational readiness. The contractor maintains a primary relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering consistent LLRW disposal services to naval and military installations, including funding support for site availability charges critical to maintaining disposal access. They also serve the Department of Energy with long-term data acquisition contracts tied to LLRW disposal records, indicating a trusted role in maintaining the federal government’s radioactive waste inventory systems. Their core business aligns with NAICS 562112 (hazardous waste collection), specifically focused on radiological waste, and NAICS 562211 (hazardous waste treatment and disposal), where they provide data and disposal infrastructure for low-level radioactive materials. This positions them as a niche provider within the federal nuclear waste management market, serving defense and energy sectors that require regulated, secure, and auditable waste handling. As a 2L entity based in Richland, WA, US ECOLOGY WASHINGTON INC operates with a focused geographic footprint aligned with federal nuclear sites in the Pacific Northwest. The company holds no government certifications but leverages its operational proximity to key DOE and DOD facilities to deliver responsive, compliant waste management services. Their market positioning is defined by reliability in high-regulation, mission-essential environments rather than broad-scale environmental remediation.
