Supplementary documentation for an Environmental Impact Statement regarding the Pantex Plant: hydrologic study for Pantex

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6545461
This report docuents work performed in support of preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) regarding the Department of Energy's Pantex Plant, near Amarillo, Texas. Drainage patterns and drainage diversion at the Pantex Plant and Texas Tech University Research Farm have been delineated. Rainfall-runoff relations for the 6- and 24-hour storms were investigated using historical data. Resultant flooding onsite from these storms was computed. Culvert sizes in Zones 11 and 12 were investigated to determine an adequate design size to carry storm water runoff. Erosion and soil loss rates were computed for wheat crops and native grasses and related to potential for contaminant transport.
