This report describes the 1988 environmental monitoring activities of the Environmental Monitoring Unit of EG and G-operated facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). The major facilities monitored include the Radioactive Waste Management Complex, the Waste Experimental Reduction Facility, the Mixed Waste Storage Facility, and two surplus facilities. Additional monitoring activities performed by Environmental Monitoring are also discussed, including preliminary radiological characterization of other facilities, drinking water monitoring, nonradiological liquid effluent monitoring, subsurface investigations, and data management. The primary purposes of monitoring are to evaluate environmental conditions and to provide information, in compliance with applicable regulations and interpreted as necessary, for ensuring protection of personnel, the public, and the environment. This report also compares 1988 environmental monitoring data with derived concentration guides and with data from previous years. This report also presents selected results of sampling performed by the Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory and by the United States Geological Survey. 24 refs., 48 figs., 15 tabs.
