Title: Sampling and analysis plan for groundwater and surface water monitoring at the Y-12 Plant during calendar year 1996

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/151826· OSTI ID:151826

This plan provides a description of the groundwater and surface-water quality monitoring activities planned for calendar year (CY) 1996 at the Department of Energy (DOE) Y-12 Plant. Included in this plan are the monitoring activities managed by the Y-12 Plant Health, Safety, Environment, and Accountability (HSEA) Organization through the Y-12 Plant Groundwater Protection Program (GWPP). Other groundwater and surface water monitoring activities, such as selected Environmental Restoration Program activities, and National Pollution Discharge Elimination System monitoring, not managed through the Y-12 Plant GWPP are not addressed in this report. The requirements of several monitoring drivers will be implemented in one comprehensive monitoring program during CY 1996. These drivers may be regulatory DOE Orders, or best-management practices. The CY 1996 monitoring program will encompass three hydrogeologic regimes: The Bear Creek Hydrogeologic Regime, the Upper East Fork Poplar Creek Hydrogeologic Regime, and the Chestnut Ridge Hydrogeologic Regime. The Bear Creek and East Fork regimes are located within Bear Creek Valley, and the Chestnut Ridge Regime is located south of the Y-12 Plant. For various reasons, modifications to the CY 1996 monitoring program may be necessary during implementation. For example, changes in regulatory requirements may alter the parameters specified for selected wells, or wells could be added to or deleted from the monitoring network. Al] modifications to the monitoring program will be approved by the Y-12 Plant GWPP manager and documented as addenda to this sampling and analysis plan.
