NEVADA NATIONAL SECURITY SITE 2020 DATA REPORT- GROUNDWATER MONITORING PROGRAM AREA 5 RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT SITE
- Mission Support and Test Services, LLC (MSTS), North Las Vegas, NV (United States)
This report presents groundwater and leachate sample results from the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site (RWMS) at the Nevada National Security Site in Nye County, Nevada. Since 1993, groundwater samples have been collected and static groundwater depths have been measured from the aquifer immediately below the Area 5 RWMS. The data are evaluated for evidence of effects on the aquifer related to the Area 5 RWMS. Leachate from the Cell 18 lined mixed waste cell has been sampled since 2011, and leachate from the Cell 25 lined mixed waste cell was first sampled in 2019 after it began receiving waste in August 2018. Leachate data are analyzed for hazardous contaminants to determine appropriate leachate handling and disposal. This report includes five years of data from 2016 through 2020.
