WIPP Docket A-98-49
WIPP Docket No. A-98-49 contains information about EPA's oversight activities since the 1998 certification decision. These documents will be reviewed as appropriate and considered in making the decision whether to recertify that the Department of Energy has complied with the conditions of certification or whether to modify, suspend, or revoke the certification. It is one of three EPA WIPP dockets. Learn more about the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

- Inspections to ensure compliance with conditions of certification.
- Recertification.
- Any rulemakings required to modify, suspend, or revoke the WIPP’s certification of compliance.
