Results of hydrologic research at a low-level radioactive-waste disposal site near Sheffield, Illinois

The purpose of the report is to present results and implications of approximately 10 years of hydrologic research conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey at a commercial low-level radioactive-waste disposal site. Hydrologic research at the site, located near Sheffield, Illinois, has included studies of microclimate, evapotranspiration, and tritium release by plants; runoff and land modification; water movement through a trench cover; water and tritium movement in the unsaturated zone; gases in the unsaturated zone; water and tritium movement in the saturated zone; and water chemistry
