Title: Borehole Data Package for 1998 Wells Installed at Single-Shell Tank Waste Management Area U

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4720· OSTI ID:4720

Two new Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCR4) groundwater monitoring wells were installed at the single-shell tank f- Waste Management Area (WMA) U in October 1998 in fi,dfillrnent of Tri-PaQy Agreement (Ecology 1996) milestone M-24-39. The wells are 299-W19-41 and 299-W19-42. Well 299-W19-41 is located east of the southeastern comer of the WMA and replaces downgradient well 299-W19-32. Well 299-W19-42 is located east of the WNIA near the northeastern comer and is a new downgradient monitoring well. The locations of all wells in the monitoring network are shown on Figure 1. The groundwater monitoring plan for WMA U (Caggiano and Goodwin 1991) describes the hydrogeology of the 200 West Area and WMA U. An Interim Change Notice to the groundwater monitoring plan provides justification for the new wells. The new wells were constructed to the specifications and requirements described in Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-160 and WAC 173-303. This document compiles Mormation on the drilling and Construction well development pump installation, and sedment testing applicable to wells 299-W19-41 and 299-W19-42. Appendix A contains the geologist's log, the Well Construction Summary Reportj and Well Summary Sheet (as-built diagram); Appendix B contains results of laboratory measurements of particle size distribution pm conductivity, and calcium carbonate and moisture contents; and Append~ C contains geophysical logs. Aquifer tests (slug tests) were pefiormed on both new wells. Results from the aquifer tests will be reported elsewhere. Additional documentation concerning well construction is on file with Bechtel Hanford, Inc., Richland Washington.
