Abstract

The goal of this work is to identify geophysical methods that can be used to delineate (in 3D) a large-scale paleochannel that has been inferred to exist between the 200 West and 200 East Areas of the Hanford Site’s Central Plateau . This paleochannel is of particular importance because it will significantly impact flow and contaminant transport from 200 West to 200 East. Its high permeability can both accelerate contaminant transport and lower contaminant concentrations through spreading. Information about the spatial extent and structure of such features is needed to inform subsurface flow and contaminant transport models that support remedy decisions at Hanford.

West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for Calendar Year 2025

The report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy West Valley Demonstration Project office (DOE-WVDP), summarizes the environmental protection program at the WVDP for calendar year (CY) 2025. Monitoring and surveillance of the facilities used by the DOE are conducted to verify protection of public health and safety and the environment. The report is a key component of the DOE’s effort to keep the public informed of environmental conditions at the WVDP. The quality assurance protocols applied to the environmental monitoring program ensure the validity and accuracy of the monitoring data. In addition to demonstrating compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and directives, the evaluation of data collected in 2025 continued to indicate that WVDP activities posed no threat to public health or safety, or to the environment.
