This report documents work performed in support of preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) regarding the Department of Energy's Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas. Subsurface investigations were made to examine soil characteristics. Samples from test holes were analyzed for inorganic and organic chemicals, explosives, and radioactivity. Radiochemical analyses were also performed on surface and ground water, soil, and sediments in an adjacent to the Pantex Plant. Waste water and sediments from drainage ditches from the plant, ponded water and sediments from a playa basin, and sanitary effluent were examined for explosives and organic compounds.
