Summary

The Environmental Sciences Section (ESS) of the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) conducted a quarterly monitoring program of the Fourmile Branch (FMB) stream and its associated seepline located down gradient from the F- and H-Area Seepage Basins beginning May 1992 and ending in May 1995. The quarterly tritium survey has been changed to a semi-annual schedule, and this report details the results of the first event in FY96. The primary focus of this program is to measure and track changes in tritium levels. However, specific conductivity and pH were also measured and tracked. The measurements from this survey (March 1996) exhibited similar tritium levels, conductivity measurements, and pH values to data from the previous quarterly tritium surveys. The overall results of the tritium survey and stream monitoring data (Looney et al., 1993) indicate that the tritium plume resulting from the past operation of the seepage basins continues to flush from the seeplines and wetlands to Fourmile Branch.
