This is the second quarterly progress report of water chemistry at commercially operated low-level radioactive waste disposal sites. The program is a joint investigation undertaken by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the United States Geological Survey as part of a comprehensive plan to study the hydrogeological and geochemical behavior of existing commercially operated low-level radioactive waste disposal sites. The analytical methods that were used to concentrate, separate and identify organic compounds found in filtered trench water samples taken from the Maxey Flats disposal site April 1976 are described. A variety of organic compounds were isolated and identified in all of the trenches sampled.
