A summary of the conceptual models to be used in representing slit (ST) and engineered trenches (ET) in PORFLOW (ACRi 2018) simulations as part of the performance assessment (PA) of the E-Area Low Level Waste Facility (ELLWF) is presented. Key details that are discussed include: model geometries, spatially dependent hydro-stratigraphic representations, model dimensionality, and boundary conditions (i.e., infiltration rates, cover overhangs, subsidence). Accounting for differences in the percent of non-crushable materials, eighteen unique models, defined by seven hydro-stratigraphic groupings, will be used to represent slit and engineered trenches.
