Abstract

This is one of a series of reports on Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 monitoring at the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins and the 300 Area Process Trenches. It fulfills the requirement of Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-303-645(11) to report twice each year on the effectiveness of the corrective action program. This report covers the period from January through June 2010. The concentrations of 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins contaminants remained below applicable concentration limits during the reporting period. The most recent exceedance of a concentration limit was May 2007. The overall concentration of uranium in 300 Area Process Trenches wells remained above the 20 {micro}g/L concentration limit in the three downgradient wells screened at the water table. Fluctuations of uranium concentration are caused by changes in river stage. The concentration of cis-l ,2-dichloroethene remained above the 70 {micro}g/L concentration limit in one deep well (399-1-16B). Concentrations are relatively steady at this well and are not affected by river stage. Trichloroethene concentrations were below detection limits in all wells during the reporting period.

RESULTS OF GROUNDWATER MONITORING FOR THE 183-H SOLAR EVAPORATION BASINS AND 300 AREA PROCESS TRENCHES JANUARY THRU JUNE 2008

Technical Report MJ, HARTMAN

This is one of a series of reports on Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) monitoring at the 183-H solar evaporation basins and the 300 Area process trenches. It fulfills the requirement of Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-303-645(11)(g), 'Release from Regulated Units', to report twice each year on the effectiveness of the corrective action program. This report covers the period from January through June 2008. The current objective of corrective action monitoring the 183-H basins is simply to track trends. Although there is short-term variability in contaminant concentrations, trends over the past 10 years are downward. The currentmore »« less

Results of Groundwater Monitoring for the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins

Technical Report Hartman, Mary

The 183-H solar evaporation basins (183-H basins) were located in the 100-H Area of the Hanford Site and have been demolished and backfilled under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in the Hanford Facility RCRA Permit (Ecology 2004). Post-closure actions remain for the 183 H basins. Groundwater is monitored in accordance with Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173 303 645(11), ''Corrective Action Program'', and Part VI, Chapter 2 of the Hanford Facility RCRA Permit (Ecology 2004). The waste discharged to the basins originated in the 300 Area fuel fabrication facility and included solutions of chromic, hydrofluoric, nitric, and sulfuric acidsmore »« less

Ground-water monitoring compliance projects for Hanford Site facilities:

Technical Report

This report documents the progress of four Hanford Site grond-water monitoring projects for the tiem period from January 1 to March 31, 1987. The four disposal facilites are: the 300 Area Process Trenches, the 1983-H Solar Evaporation Basins, the 200 Area Low-Level Burial Grounds, and the Nonradioactive Dangerous Waste (NRDW) Landfill. This report is the third in a series of periodic status reports. During this reporting period, the 300 Area, 183-H, and NRDW Landfill projects completed all monitoring wells that were part of the initial drilling phase and incorporated them into the ground-water monitoring networks for each site.

Groundwater monitoring plan for the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins

Technical Report Hartman, M

Groundwater monitoring at the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins is regulated under Washington Administrative Code 173-303-645. Proposed in this plan is the first phase of a final-status, corrective action monitoring program for the site. The monitoring network consists of four existing wells: 199-H4-3, 199-H4-7, 199-H4-12A, and 199-H4-12C. Well 199-H4-12C is completed at the base of the unconfined aquifer; the other wells are screened at the water table. Wells 199-H4-7 and 199-H4-12A are groundwater extraction wells used in a pump-and-treat system. Groundwater samples will be collected from each well annually. Samples will be analyzed for the following: (1) constituents of concern (i.e.,more »« less

Evaluation of the ground-water contaminant plume extending from the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins

Technical Report Hall, S

The 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins, located on the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State, were used for solar concentration and storage of process wastes that consisted of nitric, sulfuric, and hydrofluoric acids, contaminated by heavy metals and radionuclides, and neutralized by sodium hydroxide. By 1977, it was apparent that leakage from the basins had reached the unconfined aquifer, causing elevated ground-water concentrations of nitrate, chromium, technetium-99, and uranium. The resulting plume is superimposed on a larger, pre-existing plume from upgradient sources that is characterized by the same contaminants, but with different relative concentrations. The plumes discharge into the Columbia River,more »« less
