The separations plants at Hanford discharge large volumes of solutions contuining radioactive materials to various ground disposal facilities. These facilities are described. Data are summarized on the volume and curies discharged through mid-year 1959. Management of large volumes of water as well as control of radioactive materials was required. Extensive research and development efforts in geology, hydrology, mineralogy, soil chemistry, analytical chemistry, and process engineering were applied to the ground disposal problems. As a result of these efforts no demonstrable hazards have been created by the disposal of wastes io ground at Hanford. (C.H.)
