OSTI ID:5141859

This is the fifth Annual Water Quality Data Report for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The WIPP is located in southeastern New Mexico, as shown in Figure 1-1. The WIPP Project is operated by the (DOE) for the purpose of providing a research and development facility to demonstrate the safe disposal of (TRU) radioactive wastes generated by the defense activities of the United States Government. Section 2 of this report presents water quality data collected from sixteen designated pre-operational (WIPP Facility) monitoring wells, and three privately owned wells in the vicinity of the WIPP. The locations of these wells are shown in Figure 1-2. The water quality data from these wells were collected from January 1989 through December 1989. Of the nineteen wells sampled for water quality in 1989, two were sampled for the first time, four were sampled for the third time, and thirteen were sampled for the fourth time. Section 3 of this report presents water level data collected from sixty-three designated monitoring wells. This data was collected from October 1988 through December 1989. Pressure-density data collected from January 1989 through December 1989 can be found in Appendix A. 116 figs., 72 tabs.
