Two seepage basins have been used to treat waste water generated by the TNX facilities. The old seepage basin was constructed in 1958 for the treatment and disposal of both low-level radioactive wastes and non-radioactive hazardous waste chemicals. The old basin was closed out in 1980 and waste flows were diverted to a new seepage basin. This report describes soil sample acquisition, field laboratory procedures, water sample acquisition, quality assurance and control procedures, and safety and health protection procedures in the pollution monitoring of the new seepage basin. Four appendices contain laboratory data. To date, no significant groundwater contamination has been detected.
