Ground-water monitoring compliance projects for Hanford Site facilities:

Technical Report · Fri May 01 04:00:00 EDT 1987

OSTI ID:5258082

This report documents the progress of four Hanford Site grond-water monitoring projects for the tiem period from January 1 to March 31, 1987. The four disposal facilites are: the 300 Area Process Trenches, the 1983-H Solar Evaporation Basins, the 200 Area Low-Level Burial Grounds, and the Nonradioactive Dangerous Waste (NRDW) Landfill. This report is the third in a series of periodic status reports. During this reporting period, the 300 Area, 183-H, and NRDW Landfill projects completed all monitoring wells that were part of the initial drilling phase and incorporated them into the ground-water monitoring networks for each site. Characterization reports have been drafted for the three projects and will be released to the State and USEPA in the next quarter. Analytical results for the threee sites for which wells have been drilled prdouced no deviations from the established trends. Results from the NRDW Landfill indicate that the facility has not impacted the ground-water qualtiy in the area. Fluctuations in concentrations of specific parameters at the 300 Area site are generally attributed to specific known activities conducted in the area. Fluctuations in specific parameter concentrations in wells in the vicinity of the 183-H facility are attributed to water table fluctuations associated iwth river stage. 12 refs., 29 figs., 4 tabs.
