Volatile organic compounds (VOC's) have entered aquifers in Cretaceous-aged sediments in the A/M-Area as a result of site operations. Tritium in A/M-Area ground water was investigated as a tracer to determine the movement of ground water in the subsurface and the transport mechanism of VOC's. The investigation was focused primarily on determining the continuity and integrity of the clay layers in the Ellenton Formation and their effectiveness as aquitards below the aquifers in Tertiary sediments.
