Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report

OSTI ID:6225511

The Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report (GFDR) presents all the significant information obtained from the geotechnical studies at the WIPP site from June 22 through September 15, 1983 as well as all previous data collected from the geomechanical instruments. During this period, the geotechnical activities at the site to be reported were primarily concerned with monitoring of the geomechanical instruments which have been installed in the exploratory shaft and the underground drifts. Additional gas testing studies have also been performed during this period. The data presented in the GFDR reflect continuing studies, and new data will be included in future quarterly reports as it becomes available. Data evaluation and analysis are in progress and will be reported whenever results and conclusions are finalized. The Quarterly GFDR is organized into two independent parts. Part I contains all the data collected since April 1982 from the geomechanical instrumentation which have been installed inthe exploratory shaft ad underground drifts at the WIPP site. Part II presents the new drilling, testing procedures, and results associated with the continuation of the gas testing program. This program was conducted to investigate occurrences of gas primarily in the geologic strata above the roof in the WIPP underground excavation.
