Chemical effluents technology waste disposal investigations, January-June 1962

Technical Report · Mon Sep 10 04:00:00 EDT 1962

Brown, D J

The Chemical Effluents Technology Operation performs research to investigate the chemical and physical aspects of environmental contamination resulting from the disposal of plant effluents or from potential process incidents. This is a semi-annual report, published to give the latest information on the status of contamination in the ground water. In addition to the regular gross beta map this report now contains a map of the tritium contamination in the ground water. Two additional maps are included in this report. One map shows the extent of nitrate ion movement in the ground water, delineating that zone where the concentration exceeds the new (April, 1962) US Public Health Service drinking water standard of 45 ppM. The other map is an isothermal map of the ground water in the region where radioactive contamination has been detected.
