Ground-water monitoring compliance projects for Hanford Site Facilities: Progress report for the period April 1 to June 30, 1987

OSTI ID:5267720

This report documents the progress of four Hanford Site ground-water monitoring projects for the period from April 1 to June 30, 1987. The four disposal facilities are the 300 Area Porcess Tranches, 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins, 200 Area Low-Level Burial Grounds, and Nonradioactive Fangerous Waste (NRDW) Landfill. This report is the fourth in a series of periodic status reports. During this reporting period, three Phase III monitoring wells were completed and added to the rountine ground-water monitoring network at 183-H. An interim site characterization report for 183-H was completed and submitted to the state and the USEPA. The NRDW Landfill interim characterization report is in the final stages of clearance and the 300 Area report is in the review process. A drilling contract for 19 wells located around the 200 West Area Burial Grounds was awarded to ONWEGO Well Drilling in May 1987. Kaiser Engineers Hanford (KEH) was given approval to purchase four cable tool drilling rigs and complete the 16 wells located around the 200 East Area Burial Grounds. Drilling in both the East and West Areas was initiated during this reporting period. Analytical results for the three sites for which wells have been drilled indicate no deviations from previously established trends. Results from the NRDW Landfill indicates that the facility has no effect on the ground-water quality beneath the facility. Fluctuations in concentrations of specific parameters at the 300 Area site are generally attributed to specific activities conducted in the 300 Area. 1 ref., 36 figs., 6 tabs.
