The HAB is a broadly representative body consisting of a balanced mix of diverse interests that are affected by Hanford environmental restoration and waste management issues.
There are 32 board members (each with one to two alternates) from Washington, Oregon and Idaho representing local and regional interests. The Board was created in 1994 by the DOE, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology (Tri-Party Agreement [TPA] agencies) to advise agencies on selected major policy issues related to Hanford cleanup. The TPA, or Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order, provides a cleanup schedule to bring the Hanford Site into compliance with state and federal environmental laws.

Each of the committees may meet up to twice per fiscal year quarter (i.e. around 24 total meetings per year) dependent on the required workload of the HAB. Joint committee meetings may be held for cross-cutting topics.
