Closure of the Savannah River Laboratory seepage basins at the Savannah River Site, Aiken South Carolina
Description
Closure of the SRL Seepage Basins, 4 earthen impoundments, is being driven by both CERCLA and a Civil Law Suit Consent Decree requiring a RCRA-like closure. Several issues related to the physical setting and extent of contamination at the site will have major impacts on the design of the clay cap system to be placed over the basins. The issues to be resolved are the stability of the northern wall of basin 4, radioactive uptake by vegetation growing within the basins, and the extent of contamination of the soil surrounding the process sewer line that discharged to the basins.
