摘要

There is growing support for using evapotranspiration (ET) covers for closure of low-level wastern(LLW) and other types of waste disposal sites, particularly in the lower latitude arid regions ofrnthe western United States. At the Nevada Test Site (NTS), monolayer ET covers are the baselinerntechnology for closure of LLW and mixed LLW cells. To better predict the long-termrnperformance of monolayer ET covers, as well as to identify design criteria that will potentiallyrnimprove their performance, the properties of, and processes occurring on, analog sites for ETrncovers on the NTS are being studied. The project is funded through the SubsurfacernContaminants Focus Area of the U.S. Department of Energy.rnFour analog sites on the NTS have been selected to predict performance of ET covers over arn1,000-year compliance period. Two sites are relatively recently disturbed (within the last 50rnyears) and have been selected to evaluate processes and changes on ET covers for the earlyrnperiod after active cover maintenance is discontinued. Two other sites, late to mid-Holocene inrnage, are intended as analogs for the end of the compliance period (1,000 years or more); bothrnsurfaces are abandoned alluvial/colluvial deposits. The history of the early post-institutionalrncontrol analog sites are being evaluated by an archeologist to help determine when the sites werernlast disturbed or modified, and the mode of disturbance to help set baseline conditions. Similarrnto other “landforms,” ET covers will evolve over time because of pedogenic, biotic, and climaticrnprocesses. Properties of analog sites that could affect ET water balance performance will bernevaluated to help understand ET cover performance over time.rnResults of analog site work and resultant modifications to design, monitoring, and maintenancernof ET covers on the NTS will be compared with results of a similar study being conducted atrnSandia National Laboratories (SNL), where ET cover closures are planned as well. Therncomparison will help to distinguish potential regional differences needed in ET cover design.rnAlthough both sites are at similar latitudes, the NTS is located in a transition zone between thernMojave and southern Great Basin deserts, whereas SNL is located in the northern Chihuahuanrndesert. Differences in vegetation and seasonality of precipitation between the sites arernsignificant.
