This report presents the monitoring results for groundwater and surface water samples collected in October 2019 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management for the Salmon, Mississippi, Site. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), a predecessor agency to DOE, conducted a series of underground detonations in the Tatum Salt Dome beneath the Salmon site between 1964 and 1970 to study seismic signatures. Groundwater sampling at the site is conducted to monitor shallow groundwater that became contaminated during AEC use of the site, contamination within the shot cavity, and contamination in the Aquifer 5 injection well. Surface water sampling is conducted to ensure no contaminants are leaving the site.
