provided additional unpublish_ data and answered many questions early in the study. D. W. Duncan assisted the statistical review and interpretation of the geologic data and aided preparation and editing of this document. D. E. Conover and T. L. Liikala also aided in the preparation of this document. G. W. Givan and the Environmental Monitoring Unit supplied all Radiation Monitoring support and assisted in the collection of samples. Gratitude is also expressed to the many individuals whose work has been included in this document but could not be referenced. Special thanks are extended to G. L. Wagenaar and T. J. Wood for their dedication and innovative ideas in solving unique sampling problems, and to L. L. Weaver for his dedication in taking and interpreting in situ analyses.

“…In 1988, the radiation survey frequency of the site was increased from semi-annually to quarterly, which is the current frequency schedule. The location of the 618-1 1 burial ground relative to the water table and moisture penetration from rainfall indicate that the minimum depth to ground water beneath the site is 18 m (59 ft) (Brown 1977). In 1974, rainfall at the Hanford Site was 170 percent of normal.…”

“…The 618-1 1 site elevation is approximately 450 feet above mean sea level, with the water table approximately 60 feet below that (Brown 1977). A data sheet on the 618-1 1 site is given in Table 2-1 (PNNL 1991).…”

Subsurface transport of radionuclides in shallow deposits of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, Washington: Review of selected previous work and suggestions for further study

Operations at the Hanford Reservation, in south-central Washington, have resulted in the disposal of large amounts of radioactive wastes, some components of which have reached the ground water and are being carried to the adjacent Columbia River by the ground water, which discharges into the river as seeps and springs.Use of ground-water modeling--The use of a three-dimensional ground-waterflow model Is the approach of choice for any study of natural or human-induced ground-water flow, and the movement of contaminants in the ground water, anywhere on the Reservation. It cannot be overemphasized, however, that reliable results from such a model can only be achieved if the model is based on reliable water-level and water-chemistry data throughout the area and depth of the aquifer system to be studied.
