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 arising from waste disposal operations in the Separations Areas. Four maps are included in this report. One shows the extent to which gross beta-emitters are distributed in the ground water. A second map shows the tritium contamination distribution in the ground water. The third map shows the extent of nitrate ion contamination in the ground water where it exists in concentrations greater than 10 ppM. Also delineated on this map is the zone where the concentration exceeds the US Public Health Service drinking water standard of 45 ppM. The fourth map is an isothermal map of the water table encompassing only that area covered by the other three maps.
