Title: The Savannah River Plant`s Groundwater Monitoring Program, fourth quarter 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10142292

The Savannah River Plant`s Groundwater Monitoring Program is administered by the Environmental Monitoring Group of the Health Protection Department. During the fourth quarter of 1987 (October--December), routine monitoring was performed on monitoring wells and drinking water locations. This quarterly report includes the radioactive monitoring data from drinking water. These data were collected from SRP drinking water systems supplied by wells. Two sets of flagging criteria were established in 1986 to assist in the management of sample results. The flagging criteria do not define contamination levels but are intended to aid personnel in sample scheduling, interpretation of data, and trend identification. The first-level flagging criteria are based on detection limits or background levels in SRP groundwater. The second-level flagging criteria are based on various water standards or levels significantly above background. During the fourth quarter of 1987, Priority Pollutant analyses were conducted on LFW wells and Appendix IX analyses were conducted on FSB point-of-compliance wells. Also during this quarter, one drinking water sample exceeded the first-level flagging criteria.
