Results of the separations area ground-water monitoring network for 1984
The purpose of this report is to present a summary of the results for calendar year 1984 of the Rockwell Hanford Operations (Rockwell) groundwater monitoring program for the Separations Area of the Hanford Site. This monitoring program is in partial fulfillment of the US Department of Energy (DOE) requirement that all radioactivity in the environment shall be monitored. The objectives of the monitoring program are to (1) evaluate the quality of ground water for compliance with Rockwell and DOE guidelines, (2) assess the performance of disposal and storage sites in the Separations Area, (3) determine the impact of waste disposal operations on the ground water, and (4) provide data for hydrologic analyses and model application. The 1984 Separations Area unconfined aquifer monitoring network included 127 wells. Water samples were collected monthly, quarterly, or semiannually from the wells in the network. These samples were selectively analyzed for total alpha, total beta, tritium, /sup 90/Sr, /sup 137/Cs, /sup 60/Co, /sup 106/Ru, uranium and nitrate. Average radionuclide concentrations in monitoring wells for 1984 were similar to 1983. Water levels were measured in 224 wells to produce water table maps of the Separations Area (annually) and of the Hanford Site (semiannually). 20 refs., 22 figs., 25 tabs.
