The Rockwell Hanford Operations Drilling and Testing Group is responsible for all borehole drilling and testing conducted in support of the Basalt Waste Isolation Project. Geologic and hydrologic characterization data obtained by the group are an integral part of the studies required to assess the feasibility of using the deep basalts beneath the Hanford Site for the terminal disposal of nuclear waste. This document is a summary of drilling and testing results during the second calendar quarter (April through June 1983). The principal work during this period included the drilling and/or testing of boreholes RRL-2, RRL-14, DC-4/DC-5, DC-16A, DC-16B, the McGee Well, and the Near-Surface Test Facility.
