Abstract

Geophysical data were acquired at a site on the Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee to determine the characteristics of a mud-filled void and to evaluate the effectiveness of a suite of geophysical methods at the site. Methods that were used included microgravity, electrical resistivity, and seismic refraction. Both microgravity and resistivity were able to detect the void as well as overlying structural features. The seismic data provide bedrock depth control for the other two methods, and show other effects that are caused by the void.

Treatability study on the Bear Creek Valley characterization area at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Phase II work plan for S-3 site contaminated groundwater interception--in-field media evaluation and groundwater capture methods

Technical Report

A treatability study is being conducted to support implementation:of early actions at the S-3 Site in the Bear Creek Valley (BCV) Characterization Area (CA). The objectives of the early actions Will be (1) to reduce concentrations of uranium and nitrate in Bear Creek and (2) to reduce contaminants of concern in North Tributary (NT)-1 and NT-2. The BCV CA is located within the US DOE`s Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee. Hazardous and radioactive materials from the Y-12 Plant operations were, disposed of at various sites within BCV. Groundwater and surface water in the BCV CA have been contaminated. The remedialmore »« less

Geophysical surveys at the Oitti DNAPL spill site, southern Finland

Conference Peltoniemi, M; Laine, E; Haenninen, P; ...

In the 1950`s and 1960`s about 10,000 liters of dry cleaning solvents from a dry cleaning establishment near the town center at Oitti, southern Finland were disposed of in a well and in pits. The groundwater was found to be contaminated in 1992 when a regional groundwater quality survey was done in the region. Among the solvents are trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene. Although the major part of the total amount of solvents were deposited in a condensed form into a landfill, the storage sites at the dry cleaning establishment became injection wells by default, because of the permeable nature of themore »« less
Microgravity survey of the Oak Ridge K-25 Site, Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Technical Report Kaufmann, R

Karst features are known to exist within the carbonate bedrock of the Oak Ridge K-25 Site and may play an important role in groundwater flow and contaminant migration. This report discusses the results of a microgravity survey of the Oak Ridge K-25 Site. The main objective of the survey is to identify areas containing bedrock cavities. Secondary objectives included correlating the observed gravity to the geology and to variations in overburden thickness. The analysis includes 11 profile lines that are oriented perpendicular to the geologic strike and major structures throughout the K-25 Site. The profile lines are modeled in anmore »« less

Geological mapping of the Oak Ridge K-25 Site, Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Technical Report Lemiszki, P

The Oak Ridge K-25 Site (formerly known as the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant) is located in the southern Appalachian Valley and Ridge province of east Tennessee and overlies an area of folded and faulted Cambrian through Ordovician sedimentary rocks in the footwall of the Whiteoak Mountain fault. Environmental restoration plans for the area require that the geology of the site be well understood because various aspects of the groundwater system are directly influenced by stratigraphic and structural characteristics of the bedrock. This study involved mapping the bedrock geology of an 18-square mile area in and around the plant site.more »« less
