Automatic measurement of water levels within the 300-FF-5 boundary
A network of pressure transducers with dataloggers and radio transceivers was designed to monitor water levels in 42 wells within the CERCLA 300-FF-5 boundary in the 300 Area at the Hanford Site. Automatic datalogging, radio retrieval, and computer processing provide hourly measurements that appear precise within {plus_minus}0.02 ft at a cost expected to be less than $1 each compared with $9 each for steel-tape measurements made manually. Laboratory and field results both confirm that precision is half of that originally specified. This report is intended as a reference to be used in operating and maintaining the monitoring system. The report includes water-level measurements from the first eight wells monitored.
