Book Plans and Practices for Groundwater Protection at the Los Alamos National Laboratory

Download or read book Plans and Practices for Groundwater Protection at the Los Alamos National Laboratory written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-18 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's first nuclear bomb was a developed in 1954 at a site near the town of Los Alamos, New Mexico. Designated as the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 1981, the 40-square-mile site is today operated by Log Alamos National Security LLC under contract to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Like other sites in the nation's nuclear weapons complex, the LANL site harbors a legacy of radioactive waste and environmental contamination. Radioactive materials and chemical contaminants have been detected in some portions of the groundwater beneath the site. Under authority of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the State of New Mexico regulates protection of its water resources through the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED). In 1995 NMED found LANL's groundwater monitoring program to be inadequate. Consequently LANL conducted a detailed workplan to characterize the site's hydrogeology in order to develop an effective monitoring program. The study described in Plans and Practices for Groundwater Protection at the Los Alamos National Laboratory: Final Report was initially requested by NNSA, which turned to the National Academies for technical advice and recommendations regarding several aspects of LANL's groundwater protection program. The DOE Office of Environmental Management funded the study. The study came approximately at the juncture between completion of LANL's hydrogeologic workplan and initial development of a sitewide monitoring plan.

Book Design and Construction of Deep Groundwater Monitoring Wells

Download or read book Design and Construction of Deep Groundwater Monitoring Wells written by LD. Beard and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep groundwater monitoring wells for the Colbert Landfill Superfund Project in Spokane County, Washington were constructed using 6.4-cm (2.5-in.) diameter Polyvinylchloride (PVC) well casing, instead of 5.1-cm (2.0-in.) diameter casing, to provide additional strength and a larger inner well diameter for groundwater sampling equipment. Two well screen/filter pack combinations were used to provide the convenience of preconstruction purchase of well construction materials, and the flexibility to adjust the well intake design for site-specific hydrogeologic conditions. High percent-solids bentonite grout was used for the annular seal in lieu of a bentonite pellet seal to avoid material bridging during installation. Well casing alignment was maintained by applying a tensile force to the casing during the placement of annular fill materials rather than using casing centralizers. Also, threaded temporary steel casing was used for borehole support (versus welded temporary steel casing) to reduce boring and installation time and expense. This monitoring well design and construction approach maintained construction quality standards and resulted in significant cost savings by eliminating common deep well construction problems.
