Summary
This report presents the analyses and preliminary results of the ground-water modeling program for the regional assessment of Richton Dome, Mississippi. The reported work is part of an ongoing evaluation of Richton Dome as a potential repository for high-level radioactive waste. As such, the results are to be considered preliminary and subject to modification by further analyses that are recommended in the conclusions of this report. The bases of the report are developed in three major sections that describe the regional geology and hydrology, present the available basic data utilized in the study and develop the conceptual and numerical models of the ground-water flow system. Appendix A describes previous hydrologic and geologic investigations in the study area. Appendix B documents changes made to the input data of the regional ground-water flow model of Richton Dome during the first quarter of FY 1983, presents new mass balance calculations, and updates comparisons between measured and calculated heads at calibration well locations. The results of the ground-water modeling process are discussed in two sections addressing the model calibration procedure, the model sensitivity analyses, and the preliminary, quantitative description of the operation of the regional ground-water flow system. The concluding sections of the report qualify the preliminary nature of the modeling results and suggest improvements in the data base and the conceptual model utilized in the study to improve the current understanding of the regional ground-water flow. 57 references, 18 figures, 9 tables.
