This is the third quarterly progress report of joint USNRC--USGS investigation undertaken as part of a comprehensive plan to study the hydrogeological and geochemical behavior of existing commercially operated low-level radioactive waste disposal sites. Procedures were developed for collecting and filtering trench water samples under anoxic conditions. These procedures prevent the formation of the undesirable brown ferric hydroxide precipitate that generally is encountered when trench water is exposed to air after removal from the ground.
