摘要

Envirocare of Utah, Inc., currently operates an 11e.(2) disposal cell at its South Clive facility, located in the western desert of Utah. This cell is licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Agency to receive by-products from uranium mill tailing operations throughout the United States. The location of Envirocare’s South Clive Facility is ideal for the disposal of 11e.(2) waste material. One of the favorable attributes of the location is that the groundwater is of extremely poor quality (greater than 50,000 mg/L TDS) and is found in a low-yielding aquifer. High TDS waters are found in this area due to the large quantity of evaporite deposits left from the Great Salt Lake and its predecessors. These evaporites are also repositories for metals, which also make the water unsuitable for drinking. Envirocare’s current groundwater monitoring network consists of 12 shallow monitoring wells, which are sampled on a quarterly basis for major cations and anions, metals, volatile and semivolatile organic compounds, and radiologics. Quarterly analytical results are compared to baselines levels established prior to disposal activities to demonstrate compliance. Arsenic and selenium concentrations in some of the monitoring wells began to increase in the past five years. These increases are directly attributed to increasing groundwater levels caused by enhanced recharge from storm water drainage from the Department of Energy (DOE) Vitro embankment. This storm water drainage has since been diverted to a lined collection pond. As the groundwater elevations increased, residual arsenic and selenium, left in the soil as a precipitate, is re-mobilized. Although the increases in arsenic and selenium are not the result of cell leakage, Envirocare is responsible for maintaining a compliance monitoring system that will indicate a possible future release. To this end, Envirocare is modifying its current compliance monitoring network to focus on constituents that will indicate a possible release from the cell. Envirocare conducted a sorption coefficient (Kd) study to evaluate the relative mobility of constituents found in the 11e.(2) waste stream. Results of the Kd study were used in a decision criteria matrix to identify those constituents that would be the most likely to be detected, should a release occur. Other factors considered in the decision matrix were mass of constituents in the waste, current concentrations of constituents in the groundwater, and the laboratory analytical detection limits for the constituents. Envirocare anticipates that the study will decrease the current analyte list to a more diagnostic list that will provide a better indication of a release.
