The Pacific Northwest Laboratory prepared water-table maps of the US Department of Energy's Hanford Site for June 1990 from water-level elevations measured in 224 wells across the Hanford Site. The greatest changes in the elevation of the water table at Hanford occurred beneath the decommissioned U Pond, 200-East Area, the 100-N Area, the 1100 and 3000 Areas, and near the Columbia River. The elevation of the ground-water mound beneath the decommissioned U Pond continued to decline, decreasing as much as 0.8 m (2.6 ft) between December 1989 and December 1990. This decline has been observed in wells in much of the adjacent 200-West Area and is primarily the result of continued dissipation of the ground-water mound beneath U Pond since it was deactivated in 1984. 21 refs., 12 figs.
