Idaho CERCLA Disposal Facility (ICDF)

For 20 years, the Idaho Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Disposal Facility (ICDF) has accommodated waste generated from CERCLA and demolition and dismantlement remediation efforts at the INL Site. With a current capacity to dispose of 390,000 cubic meters of waste and debris — comparable in size to 10 football fields — the facility consolidates waste from cleanup sites into a single, controlled and environmentally compliant landfill, providing the Site a cost-effective solution to its disposal needs.
 
As a result of the CERCLA regulatory process, the ICDF has stringent waste acceptance criteria. It only accepts waste generated from CERCLA and deactivation, demolition, and remediation efforts. It does not accept offsite waste.

ICP is currently expanding the landfill. Once completed, the expansion project will increase disposal capacity to 1,060,000 cubic meters. The new disposal cell has been designed like the existing landfill, with multiple liners, multiple leachate collection and detection systems, and lined evaporation ponds, all of which are compliant with state-of-the-art disposal facility requirements. The new cell is projected to start accepting waste in 2026.
