The geologic conditions of the Hanford Site have been determined in support of the surface facilities established onsite. Since 1976, the subsurface geologic conditions have been explored for the purpose of determining the feasibility of siting a nuclear waste storage facility. This work is ongoing and some of the results are presented in the following chapters: introduction to Hanford geology; geology of the Columbia Plateau; tectonics and seismic studies; bedrock geology and repository siting studies, Cold Creek Syncline Area, Pasco Basin, Washington; lithologic studies of Grande Ronde basalt; groundwater hydrology of the Columbia River basalt beneath the Hanford Site; design, fabrication and installation of rock instrumentation for the near-surface test facility; rock mechanics field test results to date; Columbia River gorge.
