Environmental monitoring of soils at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has been conducted for more than 20 years. The purposes of the program are to determine the effects, if any, of LLNL's operations on the surrounding areas near its two separate sites and to determine if there are any long-term trends. Data from 1976 to 1992 were analyzed to determine their appropriate statistical distribution, and differences among locations and changes with time were evaluated. The data generally followed lognormal distributions, and results for 239 + 240Pu and 137Cs data were consistent with previously reported values for world-wide fallout. Although all values for 239 + 240Pu were small, 239 + 240Pu data for locations downwind from the Livermore site were found to be statistically significantly higher than for upwind locations. Results for 238U at Site 300 locations near where 238U is used were significantly higher than background locations. Results for 137Cs and 40K were not significantly different between sites, whereas results for 232Th were significantly higher for Site 300 than for the Livermore site. Doses for all radionuclides were below acceptable levels, and doses for most radionuclides were negligible. Evaluation of trends with time yielded small or statistically insignificant changes for all radionuclides.

“…Beginning in 1981, storm water samples were also analyzed for gross alpha, gross beta, and tritium (Auyong, Griggs, and Buddemeir 1982). In 1982, the storm water monitoring network was expanded from one to three locations (Griggs, Gonzalez, and Buddemeir 1983). This program continued through 1984 (Griggs, Meyers, andBuddemeir 1984, Griggs, Meyers, andBuddemeir 1985).…”

“…In 1985, the scope of LLNL's storm water monitoring program was broadened once again. Samples were collected at four locations during the during the first major rain following the dry season and analyzed for gross alpha, gross beta, tritiated water, metals, general water quality parameters, and other priority pollutants (Griggs and Buddemeir 1986). The monitoring network was again expanded in 1986 to include six locations.…”

Application of the Environmental Protection Agency`s data quality objective process to environmental monitoring quality control

Application of the Environmental Protection Agency's Data Quality Objective Process to Environmental Monitoring Quality Control The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Data Quality Objectives (DQO) process was applied to two environmental monitoring networks for the purpose of optimizing field quality control sampling to give the highest quality monitoring data with minimal impact on resources. The DQO process, developed primarily to aid in cleanup and restoration activities, is a systematic approach to designing sampling and analysis programs with improved efficiency, cost savings, and measureable and traceable data quality. The two monitoring networks studied had not been subjected to the systematic review and analysis of the DQO process defined by the EPA.

Because some details of these experiments are still classified, the following summary of tritium use and disposal is all that can be presented in this report.…”
