Some concerns

Hawkeye7 Thanks for working on this article! I see that this FAR just closed, and I hadn't noticed until today. I actually have some concerns about the article. I don't think it's particularly clear, especially in the lead, that this cleanup is ongoing. You have to dig through the article a bit to find statements like, Of the four areas that were formally listed as Superfund sites on October 4, 1989, only one has been removed from the list following cleanup. I'm also not sure that the role of Indigenous people in the cleanup is well covered. The only statement about their involvement is in the sentence that The cleanup effort was managed by the DOE under the oversight of the two regulatory agencies. A citizen-led Hanford Advisory Board provides recommendations from community stakeholders, including local and state governments, regional environmental organizations, business interests, and Native American tribes.

But I can find reports of a multi-generational Indigenous cleanup effort and that Today [2022], their outreach work has reached a fever pitch. So maybe their work should be mentioned a little beyond some recommendations made to the DOE?

In summary, I think it should be clearer that this cleanup is incomplete, ongoing, and that Indigenous people have a leadership role in that cleanup. Sorry I'm late to the discussion!! Larataguera (talk) 17:59, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

The FAR was open for five long months :( You might want to raise this on talk, since the FAR is now closed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:38, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

That's fair. I just raised it here because my attention was only brought here by SG's notification about the FASA award. And I don't dispute the value of Hawkeye7's work or anything. I haven't been following the discussion otherwise. Larataguera (talk) 19:23, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

It is not my intention that the closure of the FAR will mean that the article will be "frozen". It will be maintained. I have Added a sentence to the lead about the cleanup being ongoing in 2023, and a bit more about the involvement of Native Americans in the cleanup. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate that you're willing to continue the discussion. I am reviewing this, and if I have anything else to say I'll raise it at the article talk. Larataguera (talk) 22:42, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
