Ground-water monitor-well installation at twelve hazardous-waste storage or handling facilities at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant: Phase 2, Detection monitoring

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6107261

This report provides construction information for 41 ground-water monitor wells and a narrative describing a drilling, geophysical logging, and hydraulic permeability testing programs to detect and identify chemical compounds that may have entered the uppermost aquifer and any interconnecting aquifers. This investigation is the second phase of well installations at the storage and handling facilities. The initial phase characterized the hydrogeology at each facility. A third phase will delineate the extent of any detected contamination. The sites that were investigated require monitoring. The activities conducted during this investigation included installation of unconsolidated zone wells, installation of bedrock zone wells, geophysical logging and hydraulic testing of selected wells, and re-development of Phase I monitor wells. 5 refs., 97 figs., 4 tabs.
