Results of the quarterly tritium survey of Fourmile Branch and its seeplines in the F and H areas of SRS: June 1994
The Environmental Sciences Sections (ESS) of the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) established a quarterly monitoring program of the Fourmile Branch (FMB) stream and its associated seepline down gradient from the F- and H-Area seepage basins. The program surveys and tracks changes in tritium, specific conductivity, and pH primarily for seepline water, but a few stream locations have been added. Measurements from the ninth quarterly survey (June 1994) showed similar tritium, conductivity, measurements, and pH values comparing measurements from previous studies. Increased tritium concentrations, compared to the previous survey, are attributed to lower rainfall and seasonal drop in the water table since the March 1994 sampling event. However, overall results of the tritium survey and stream monitoring data suggest that the tritium plume that resulted from operation of the seepage basins is flushing from the FMB system.
