Results of the quarterly tritium survey of Fourmile Branch and its seeplines in the F and H areas of SRS: December 1993
The Environmental Sciences Section (ESS) of the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) established a quarterly monitoring program of the Fourmile Branch (FMB) stream and its associated seepline down gradient from the F- and H- Area seepage basins. The program surveys and tracks changes in tritium, specific conductivity, and pH for the seepline water. Measurements from the seventh quarterly survey (December 1993) showed similar to slightly lower tritium and conductivity measurements and similar pH values compared to measurements from previous studies. Changes in tritium concentrations and conductivity values, as compared to previous surveys, are attributed to the flushing of tritium from the system and the seasonal rise in the water table since the September 1993 sampling event. Overall results of the tritium survey and related stream monitoring data continue to indicate that the tritium plume that resulted from operation of the seepage basins in flushing from the FMB system.
