Liquid waste contractor Savannah River Remediation has submitted to the Department of Energy a draft workforce restructuring plan in response to significant proposed cuts to liquid waste operations at the site. The contractor sent a message to employees Tuesday after earlier this week the Department released for public comment a draft Savannah River Site workforce restructuring plan outlining the processes for any future workforce change. “DOE’s planning guidance in this area is consistent with how past activities have been carried out. If contractors at SRS need to submit a workforce restructuring plan in the future, they follow the guidance in the overall SRS plan,” interim SRR President Stuart MacVean wrote in the message. “I also want you to know that SRR has submitted a draft workforce restructuring plan to DOE for review based on the President’s Budget Request for FY14.” SRR declined to comment further on its restructuring plan. In the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2014 budget request total funding for tank waste cleanup operations was cut to $644.5 million, $183 million below the current funding level.
