Analyses of soils from an area adjacent to the low-level radioactive waste disposal site at Sheffield, Illinois
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6124647
Soil samples and field resistivity data were collected from an area adjacent to the Sheffield site. Specimens of Peoria Loess, Roxana Silt, Radnor Till, sand from the Toulon member, Hulick Till, and shale from the Pennsylvanian system were collected and analyzed. Resisitivities of the soils are all greater than 2500 ohm-cm, indicating an environment which can be moderately corrosive to steel. Measurements of soil pH range from 6.2 to 8.6. Determination of the total acidity of the soils indicates an alkaline environment. The moisture content of the soils are representative of a wet site. The ion content of the soils show high levels of calcium consistent with the calcareous nature of the soils. Both the extractable and exchangeable concentrations of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium in the soils are reported. The content of the following soluble anions is also given: carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, and chloride.
