UNC environmental surveillance report for the 100 areas: FY 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6372203
Results from the UNC Environmental Surveillance Program for the Hanford 100 Areas are presented in this report. The surveillance program provides sampling and monitoring of several parameters in order to evaluate the environmental impact of 100-N Area Reactor facilities and the shutdown reactor facilities and burial grounds in the retired 100 Areas. At 100-N Area, samples of ambient air, ground water, vegetation, and surface soil were collected and analyzed. Direct radiation levels were also monitored at several locations. Samples of ambient air, vegetation, surface soil, and sediment were collected to monitor the environmental impact of the 1301-N and 1325-N Liquid Waste Disposal Facilities (LWDF). Direct radiation surveys were conducted for each LWDF and along the Columbia River shoreline. At the retired 100 Areas, vegetation and surface soil samples were collected and analyzed. In addition, samples from ground-water monitoring wells located at 100-K Area were collected and analyzed.
