During second quarter 1993, samples from the six FAC monitoring wells at the F-Area Acid/Caustic Basin were collected and analyzed for indicator parameters, groundwater quality parameters, parameters indicating suitability as drinking water, and other constituents. One of the FAC piezometers was scheduled for these analyses but yielded only enough water for analysis of total organic carbon, volatile organics, and total activity. Analytical results that exceeded the final Primary Drinking Water Standards (PDWS) or the Savannah River Site (SRS) flagging criteria or turbidity standard during the quarter are the focus of this report. Unlike last quarter, dichloromethane was not detected above the final PDWS in any of the wells. Gross alpha exceeded the final PDWS in all six wells. Nonvolatile beta was above its screening standard in upgradient well FAC 3. Aluminum and iron each exceeded Flag 2 criteria in all six wells. Total organic halogens exceeded the Flag 2 criterion in four wells, manganese in three, and radium-226 in one. Turbidity exceeded the SRS standard in wells FAC 3, 7, and 8.
