Basic hydraulic characteristics of disturbed and undisturbed Z-Area soil and of sandstone have been obtained. These data will aid modeling of the release of soluble ions from saltstone after disposal. Modeling of the release of soluble ions from saltstone and the migration of those materials to the water table has been underway for some time. Data needed for modeling were inferred from data available on burial ground soils and soils near Z-Area. To improve the accuracy of modeling, the hydraulic properties of Z-Area soil and saltstone were measured. A report is attached; results are summarized below. 7 refs., 7 figs. 1 tab.
