Groundwater flow modeling was performed to investigate the total response of the flow system in the General Separations Area at Savannah River Site (SRS) to closure capping and resulting runoff. An existing regional three-dimensional flow model for the general Separations Area simulated groundwater flow in four aquifer and three aquitard units. A predictive simulation was performed to forecast groundwater flow system response to a 90% efficient soil cap and the resulting precipitation runoff infiltration. 7 refs., 29 figs., 2 tabs.
