The Savannah River Site's Groundwater Monitoring Program conducted by the Health Protection Department for the fourth quarter 1988
The Environmental Monitoring Group of the Health Protection Department administers the Savannah River Site's Groundwater Monitoring Program. During fourth quarter 1988 (October--December), routine sampling of monitoring wells and drinking water locations was performed. The drinking water samples were collected from Savannah River Site (SRS) drinking water systems supplied by wells. Two sets of flagging criteria were established in 1986 to assist in the management of sample results. The flagging criteria aid personnel in sample scheduling, interpretation of data, and trend identification. The flagging criteria are based on detection limits, background levels in SRS groundwater, and drinking water standards. An explanation of flagging criteria for the fourth quarter is presented in the Flagging Criteria section of this document. All analytical results from fourth quarter 1988 are listed in this report. There were 46 monitoring sites at which one or more parameters exceeded Flag 2. There were 20 monitoring sites at which parameters exceeded Flag 2 for the first time since 1984. The drinking water samples were analyzed for radioactive constituents.
