Title: In Situ Permeable Flow Sensor installation at 100-H description of work

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10157060· OSTI ID:10157060

This description of work details field activities associated with drilling four boreholes in the 100-HR-3 Operable Unit for placement of four In Situ Permeable Flow Sensors near the 183-H Basin. A sonic drill rig funded under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) will be employed to drill the boreholes. This project includes installation of automatic data logging and telemetry equipment. Each Sensor will be supplied with a data logger at the surface which will be wired to a cellular phone on site or to an existing telemetry station to transmit data to a computer in 2440 Stevens Center. Power to operate the Sensors and data loggers will be supplied by a small gasoline or diesel generator. Processed data will be used to develop a three-dimensional flownet of the unconfined aquifer near and within the Columbia River influenced mixing zone.
