“…Supernatant from the scavenged waste then was discharged to the ground after settling in 200 East Area single-shell tanks. Discharge was primarily to the BY cribs in the northern 200 East Area between 1954 and1955;subsequent discharge in 1956to 1958 was to the BC cribs and specific retention trenches located south of the 200 East Area (WHC-MR-0227).…”

“…In ascending order, these units are the ( 1) gravel, sand, and paleosols of the basal uni~(2) clay and silt of the lower uni~(3) sand and gravel of the middle unit; (4) mud and lesser sand of the upper unit; and (5) basaltic detritus of the fanglomerate unit (DOE/RW-0164, Newcomb 1958, Newcomb et al 1972, RHO-BWI-ST-4, RHO-ST-23, SD-BWI-DP-039). Ringold strata also have been divided on the basis of facies types (RHO-BWI-ST-14) and fining upward sequences (Puget Sound Power and Light Company 1982).…”

“…The Ringold Formation is divided into gravel dominated (upper) and mud dominated (lower) units [Newcomb, 1958]. The upper unit consists of cemented and compacted quartzitic gravels with mica rich silt and fine sand matrix [Lindberg and Bond, 1979] with hydraulic conductivity of 40-120 m/d [Williams et al, 2007].…”

[1] Characterization of groundwater-surface water exchange is essential for improving understanding of contaminant transport between aquifers and rivers. Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FODTS) provides rich spatiotemporal datasets for quantitative and qualitative analysis of groundwatersurface water exchange. We demonstrate how time-frequency analysis of FODTS and synchronous river stage time series from the Columbia River adjacent to the Hanford 300-Area, Richland, Washington, provides spatial information on the strength of stage-driven exchange of uranium contaminated groundwater in response to subsurface heterogeneity. Although used in previous studies, the stage-temperature correlation coefficient proved an unreliable indicator of the stage-driven forcing on groundwater discharge in the presence of other factors influencing river water temperature. In contrast, S-transform analysis of the stage and FODTS data definitively identifies the spatial distribution of discharge zones and provided information on the dominant forcing periods (≥2 d) of the complex dam operations driving stage fluctuations and hence groundwater-surface water exchange at the 300-Area.

“…Ringold Formation strata typically are below the water table on the Hanford Site, and the textural variations influence groundwater flow. The Ringold Formation historically has been divided into a variety of units, facies types, and cycles (Newcomb 1958;Newcomb et al 1972;Tallman et al 1979;DOE 1988;Lindsey 1995). However, these terminologies have proven to be of limited use because they are too generalized to account for significant local stratigraphic variation or they were defined in detail for relatively small areas and do not account for basin-wide stratigraphic variation (Lindsey 1991(Lindsey , 1995.…”

ForewordThis data package discusses the geology of the single-shell tank (SST) farms and the geologic history of the area. The purpose of this report is to provide the most recent geologic information available for the SST farms. This report builds upon previous reports on the tank farm geology and Integrated Disposal Facility geology with information available after those reports were published.Both metric and English units of measurement are used in this document. However, English units are used for descriptions and discussions of drilling activities and samples because that is the system of units used by drillers to measure and report depths and well construction details. To convert feet to meters, multiply by 0.3048; to convert inches to centimeters, multiply by 2.54; to convert meters to feet, multiply by 3.28.v Acknowledgments
