About the National Science and Technology Council
President Clinton established the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) by
Executive Order on November 23, 1993. This Cabinet-level council is the principal means for
the President to coordinate science, space, and technology policies across the Federal
Government. NSTC acts as a "virtual" agency for science and technology to coordinate the
diverse parts of the Federal research and development enterprise. NSTC is chaired by the
President. Membership consists of the Vice President, Assistant to the President for Science and
Technology, Cabinet Secretaries and agency heads with significant science and technology
responsibilities, and other senior White House officials. :
An important objective of NSTC is the establishment of clear national goals for Federal science
and technology investments in areas ranging from information technologies and health research,
to improving transportation systems and strengthening fundamental research. The Council
prepares research and development strategies that are coordinated across Federal agencies to
form an investment package that is aimed at accomplishing multiple national goals.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
September 11,1996
Dear Colleague:
In April 1995, the Clinton-Gore Administration released the National Environmental Technology
Strategy, initiating a number of programs designed to accelerate the development and
deployment of environmental technologies both here and abroad. The strategy is the result of
over one year of discussions and meetings with key stakeholders from industry, academia, non-
governmental organizations, and state and local government. One of the key objectives of the
strategy is to ensure that the federal government becomes a more accessible partner with the
private sector in advancing the development of environmental technologies.
In furtherance of this partnership goal, we are releasing this document, Environmental
Technologies Testing and Demonstration Sites: A Federal Directory. It provides information
about the availability of federally controlled lands and laboratories for public-private
partnerships to test and demonstrate innovative environmental technologies. The directory lists
over 100 sites that are available for demonstrating new remediation, control, monitoring, or
pollution prevention technologies. The Directory underscores our belief that one of the most
effective ways of moving environmentally critical technologies into the marketplace is to work
with industry to prove that these technologies meet their performance objectives.
Sincerely,
John H. Gibbons
Assistant to the President
for Science and Technology

Executive Summary
The National Environmental Technology Strategy, released in April 1995, outlines a number of policies
and programs critical to facilitating the development and deployment of environmental technologies both
here in the United States and abroad. A key focus of the strategy is on developing new ways to
demonstrate innovative environmental technologies in order to answer questions concerning their
performance, economic viability, and acceptance. Technology demonstration builds an important bridge
between R&D activities and the commercial application and export of environmentally critical
technologies.
This directory was developed in response to specific recommendations made during the White House
Conference on Environmental Technologies held in December 1994. A number of representatives from
the environmental technology industry wanted to know where they could partner with the Federal
Government to test their technologies. At that time, there was no comprehensive inventory or directory
of Federal testing sites and facilities. This document is a response to the need for better information on
demonstration opportunities for environmental technology developers.
The directory contains detailed information on more than 100 sites managed by Federal departments and
agencies that are available for public-private partnerships to test and demonstrate environmental
technologies. Some listed sites, such as those under the Department of Defense and Department of
Energy, have a variety of environmental contaminants in existence. At other sites, such as those of the
Department of Agriculture, there are no existing contaminants, yet the sites could be available for testing
and demonstrating various monitoring or pollution-avoidance technologies.
A listing of a site in this directory should not be taken as a guarantee of site availability under all
circumstances. Site leaders listed in the directory are in the best position to determine the compatibility
of proposed demonstrations. Agreements to use the site must be negotiated between the private-sector
entity and the onsite Federal manager.

This facility is used to test wind turbine systems to determine their aerodynamic, structural, and
electronic performance characteristics. Currently, researchers are testing a 10-kW Bergey turbine and a
20-kW "combined experiment" turbine for unsteady aerodynamics. The facility is capable of testing
other turbine designs.
During late fall and winter, high-pressure zones being pushed across the Continental Divide by the
winter jet stream cause turbulent gusts to funnel through Colorado's front-range canyon. These winds
are characteristic of those powering California's wind farms and are perfect for wind load and system
fatigue testing. In the late winter and spring, low pressure drives less frequent but smoother winds from
the south and east up against the Rocky Mountains, generating stable conditions that are excellent for
wind system calibration, component reconfiguration, and turbine certification.

List Unique Opportunities and Challenges Associated With the Site:
This outdoor facility is used for solar thermal and industrial experiments, and particularly for
experiments related to solar detoxification of hazardous wastes in water and air. It is ideal for
experiments that require a low to medium concentration (1 to 20 suns) of ambient sunlight.
The High-Flux Solar Furnace (HFSF) was named a National User Facility by DOE in 1993. This
designation established the HFSF as a one-of-a-kind resource that is staffed by personnel with
unparalleled expertise and recognizes the facility's unique capabilities in advanced materials processing.
Current HFSF research focuses on the production or processing of advanced materials and the
destruction of environmental contaminants in the gas phase. The furnace's ability to rapidly produce
high temperatures on the surface of a material without affecting the base materials has led to studies of
phase-transformation hardening, cladding, thin-film deposition and rapid thermal annealing.
Because the system delivers the entire solar spectrum, researchers can work with either broad-spectrum
radiation or a particular frequency, ranging from infrared to the near ultraviolet. The unit's long focal
length and off-axis design give researchers great experimental flexibility and control over the incoming
solar flux. A large flat mirror tracks the sun and reflects solar energy into 25 individual curved mirrors
collectively known as the primary concentrator. The concentrator focuses the flux at an area in the test
building that is equipped with a reflective or refractive secondary concentrator. Under optimal
conditions, the furnace's primary concentrator can achieve maximum flux intensities of about 2,500
suns. The secondary concentrator, installed at the primary concentrator's focal point, increases the
intensity further. Reflective secondaries can easily achieve intensities of up to 50,000 suns.

Test site with no nearby communities. On-site research teams with experience in testing and

about 10 ft (3 m) deep was excavated in 1988 about 600 ft (183 m) south of the Subsurface Disposal
Area (SDA) in the Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC). This area, known as the Cold
Test Pit, was initially divided into five cells, with each cell representing a different configuration of the
waste. The cells contain randomly dumped barrels, randomly dumped barrels and boxes, stacked barrels,
stacked boxes, and the large objects pit (the waste seam is about 8 ft thick with a 4- to 5-ft soil cap).
Each barrel and box was filled with simulated waste in specific, marked cells and backfilled in the same
manner as the SDA waste pits that were constructed between 1953 and 1970. Items such as metals,
tools, plastics, concrete, asphalt, wood, and simulated sludge were placed in each container. Cardboard
containers were used to hasten deterioration of the barrels and boxesa condition most likely to be
encountered at the SDA. Water also was sprayed on the containers just prior to burial to accelerate the
deterioration. In order to simulate the presence of radioactive waste for migration and detection
purposes, rare earth tracers were placed into each container. These tracers are valuable when measuring
the effectiveness of contamination control technologies. Only one kind of tracer was placed in each cell.
No tracers were placed in the large objects pit. The following kinds of tracers were placed in each of the
cells: randomly dumped barrels; dysprosium; randomly dumped barrels and boxes, ytterbium; stacked
barrels, terbium; stacked boxes, neodymium. Two additional test cells were added in 1992 to support
characterization and retrieval demonstrations. The total size of the cells is 40 ft (12 m) wide, 43 ft (13
m) long, and 12 ft (3.7 m) deep. The retrieval cell was excavated in the FY 93 Remote Excavation
System proof-of-principle demonstration. A 1993 shallow characterization cell was added to support the
Trench Dig-Face Demonstration and will be used as a calibrated test cell for future demonstrations. The
dimensions of this cell are 32 ft (9.6 m) wide and 8 ft (2.4 m) long. The Cold Test Pit; is being used as a
simulated waste disposal area to test and demonstrate characterization, retrieval, and treatment
technologies. It provides known targets and waste forms for accurate evaluation and calibration of
procedures, technologies, and equipment tested. Testing at the Cold Test Pit reduces hazards to
personnel and the environment otherwise unavoidable in an actual disposal area.

The mission of the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) is to develop, demonstrate, and
deploy advanced engineering technologies and systems to improve national competitiveness and
security; to make the production and use of energy more efficient; and to improve the quality of life and
the environment. INEL is managed by Lockheed Idaho Technologies Corporation (UTCO). Lockheed
promotes the development of technologies by industry and the universities. Lockheed will provide
support to demonstrations within the constraints of a tight budget and the need ,to meet regulatory
milestones.
The INEL environmental restoration program includes activities to assess and clean up inactive
operations areas, including waste sites where there are known or suspected releases of harmful
substances into the environment, and to safely manage contaminated surplus nuclear facilities. Three
Remediation Technology Test Beds have been listed for Idaho. The test bed listed as No. 8 is an actual
remediation at Test Area North. The contaminates near this facility are described in more detail under
the facility description below. A ROD for the remediation has been signed and can be made available to
industry representatives. The Arid Testbed (No. 19) is an experimental/demonstration site developed by
the Buried Waste Integrated Demonstration Project and now managed by the Landfill Focus Area (Focus
Areas are integrated project teams which currently manage the technology development program with
the DOE's Office of Technology Development). The Cold Test Pit is another
experimental/demonstration site developed as part of demonstration of retrieval and treatment
technology which resulted in the current contract usually referenced as Pit 9.
Waste management program activities are designed to protect INEL employees, the public, and the
environment through the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities for hazardous, transuranic, alpha contaminated and mixed high-level waste and spent
nuclear fuel from military, research, and commercial sources. DOE-ID and the INEL are the lead for the
Mixed Waste Focus Area. Contracts are placed with industry to demonstrate technologies which can
treat the mixed waste stored at this site and others. There are no designed test beds for waste treatment
but the dismantlement and the materials recycle test bed (No. 21) can support both waste treatment and
remediation demonstration.

The nine major facility areas located at the INEL site are:
Test Area North
Test Reactor Area
Idaho Chemical Processing Plant
Central Facilities Area
Power Burst Facility
Experimental Breeder Reactor I and Boiling Water Reactor Experiment
Radioactive Waste Management Complex
Naval Reactors Facility
Argonne National Laboratory West
Numerous support facilities are located in the City of Idaho Falls.
The Test Area North is located in the northern portion of the INEL site on State Highway 33 about 24
kilometers (15 miles) east of the town of Howe and 19 kilometers (12 miles) west of the town of Mud
Lake. This facility area covers a total area of about 80 hectares (200 acres). Test Area North's current
purpose includes handling and evaluating irradiated materials, supporting energy research and defense
programs (including production of tank armor), demonstrating dry-cask storage of spent nuclear fuel,
performing flow tests to support reactor safety studies, and storing spent nuclear fuel. The major
facilities include the Process Experimental Pilot Plant; the Water Reactor Research Test Facility, which
is used for reactor flow experiments and includes the Thermal-Hydraulic Experimental Facility
Assembly and Test Building; and the Containment Test Facility, which houses the Specific
Manufacturing Capability project that produces tank armor for the U.S. Army.
The Test Reactor Area's current purpose is to study the effects of radiation on materials, fuels, and
equipment and to perform chemistry and physics experiments. The Test Reactor Area's major facilities
include the Materials Test Reactor, the Engineering Test Reactor, the Advanced Test Reactor, four low-
power reactors, and a hot-cell operation for handling highly radioactive materials. The Materials Test
Reactor and Engineering Test Reactor have been deactivated and are planned for decontamination and
decommissioning. The Advanced Test Reactor still is operating. It is used for materials testing under
reactor conditions and for producing radioisotopes used in medicine, research, and industry. The four
low-power reactors used for criticality measurements are the Engineering Test Reactor Critical Facility
(in decommissioning and decontamination), the Advanced Test Reactor Critical Facility (on line), the
Advanced Reactivity Measurement Facility (shutdown status), and the Coupled Fast Reactivity
Measurement Facility (shutdown status).
The Idaho Chemical Processing Plant's current purpose is to receive and store DOE-assigned spent
nuclear fuels; prepare high-level liquid and solid waste for disposition in a repository; develop
technologies for the disposition of spent nuclear fuel, sodium-bearing waste, and high-level waste; and
develop and apply technologies to minimize waste generation and manage radioactive and hazardous
wastes. Storage facilities provide spent nuclear fuel storage (pools and dry storage), calcine (dry
granular waste) storage (in bins), and liquid high-level waste storage (in underground tanks). Treatment
facilities include a waste solidification facility for treatment of liquid high-level waste and sodium-
bearing waste (New Waste Calcining Facility) and an evaporator used to concentrate low-level waste and
mixed low-level waste. Another treatment facility prevents radioactive waste from being discharged to
the percolation ponds and recovers nitric acid for reuse. Mixed and low-level waste is handled and
_

stored in the Hazardous and Radioactive Mixed Waste Staging Area and the Hazardous
Chemical/Radioactive Waste Facility. Other operating facilities include process development and
robotics laboratories.
The Central Facilities Area's purpose is to provide technical and support services for the INEL site.
These services include environmental monitoring and calibration laboratories, communication systems,
security, fire protection, medical services, warehouses, a cafeteria, vehicle and equipment pools, the
DOE-ID West office, and bus operations. There are two waste operations facilities: the Hazardous
Waste Storage Facility and the INEL Landfill Complex. The Hazardous Waste Storage Facility
temporarily stores hazardous wastes pending transport to a commercial, off site, U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency-permitted treatment and disposal site. The Landfill Complex is a facility used to
dispose of INEL industrial waste.
The Power Burst Facility is planned for use in a cancer research and treatment program. The reactor
support facilities are being used for waste management-related research, including the development of
radioactive waste volume-reduction techniques and waste immobilization research. The Power Burst
Facility has four major facilities: the Waste Experimental Reduction Facility, which v/as designed to
treat low-level and mixed low-level waste for volume reduction and removal of Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act hazardous waste; the Mixed Waste Storage Facility, which provides temporary storage
for mixed low-level waste; the Waste Experimental Reduction Facility Waste Storage Building, which
stores waste awaiting treatment in the Waste Experimental Reduction Facility and augments the capacity
of the Mixed Waste Storage Facility; and the Waste Engineering Development Facility, which is used for
treatment, decontamination, and technology development activities.
Near the Power Burst Facility area is the Auxiliary Reactor Area. The Auxiliary Reactor Area's program
has been phased out, and all reactors have been removed or dismantled. All remaining buildings at the
Auxiliary Reactor Area have been identified for decontamination and decommissioning. All buildings in
the area are vacant except for intermittent small-scale testing programs.
The Experimental Breeder Reactor I and Boiling Water Reactor Experiment facility is a National
Historic Landmark.
The Radioactive Waste Management Complex provides waste management for interim storage of
transuranic waste and disposal of low-level waste. It also supports research and development projects to
improve treatment and interim storage of transuranic waste, low-level waste disposal, buried waste
remediation technologies, and environmental remediation. Two main areas, including several major
facilities, are operating; the Transuranic Storage Area and the Subsurface Disposal Area. The
Transuranic Storage Area is dedicated to the management of transuranic waste, including interim storage
operations, certification, technology development, and future transport to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
The Stored Waste Examination Pilot Plant, located in the Transuranic Storage Area, is currently on
operational stand-by. The Transuranic Storage Area also includes the following: three asphalt
transuranic storage pads, TSA-1, -2, and -3; an area that stores wastes from buried waste retrieval
studies, TSA-R; and the Intermediate-Level Transuranic Storage Facility, which handles waste with
radiation levels that require remote handling. The Subsurface Disposal Area is dedicated to the
permanent disposal of low-level waste generated at the INEL site. Related projects support studies of
buried waste, remediation technologies, and contaminant migration. The Subsurface Disposal Area
_
-------

includes pits, trenches, and concrete-lined and unlined soil vaults for low-level disposal. One disposal
pit (Pit 9) is the subject of a comprehensive demonstration project for buried waste remediation.
The Naval Reactors Facility is under the jurisdiction of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, a joint
DOE-Navy program. Its current purposes are as a research and development facility and for inspection
of naval spent fuel. The major facility at the Naval Reactors Facility is the Expended Core Facility,
where naval fuel and fuel from the facility itself are received and examined to support fuel development
and performance analyses. The Expended Core Facility also removes structural material from the fuel
assemblies prior to transferring the fuel to the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant for storage.
The Argonne National Laboratory West area is within the boundaries of the INEL site but reports to
DOE's Chicago Operations Office and is managed by Argonne National Laboratory, not LITCO. The
facility consists of several major complexes, including the Experimental Breeder Reactor II, the
Transient Reactor Test Facility, the Zero-Power Physics Reactor, the Hot-Fuel Examination Facility, the
Fuel Cycle Facility, and the Fuel Manufacturing Facility. The Experimental Breeder Reactor-II was
being used to demonstrate the Integral Fast Reactor concept. The Transient Reactor Test Facility and the
Zero-Power Physics Reactor are used to conduct reactor analysis and safety experiments. The Hot-Fuel
Examination Facility provides a large inert-atmosphere containment for handling and examining
irradiated reactor fuel. The Fuel Cycle Facility has been modified for the Integral Fast Reactor program
to demonstrate remote reprocessing and refabrication in the fuel cycle. The Fuel Manufacturing Facility
is used to manufacture metallic fuel elements for the fuel cycle. Support facilities at Argonne National
Laboratory-West include the Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility, the Radioactive Scrap and
Waste Facility, the Radioactive Sodium Storage Facility, and the Sodium Process Facility. The
Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility processes low-level (aqueous) liquid waste. Transuranic
waste from Argonne National Laboratory-West is stored at the Radioactive Scrap and Waste Facility.
Contract-handled mixed waste is stored in the Radioactive Sodium Storage Facility (sodium
contaminated), and remote-handled mixed waste is stored at the Radioactive Scrap and Waste Facility.
The Sodium Process Facility was built to process reactor sodium.
The Idaho Falls Operations area includes the INEL Research Center, which is the location for research in
a wide variety of disciplines and features a prominent plasma research center, biotechnical center,
materials research laboratory, and measurement sciences laboratory. Other major facilities include
DOE-ID office buildings, the Willow Creek Building, the INEL Supercomputing Center, the Engineering
Research Office Building, and many technical support buildings.
Much of the INEL site is open space that has not been designated for specific uses. The INEL site
encompasses 571,000 acres (230,000 hectares). Categories of land use at the INEL site include facility
operations, grazing, general open space, and infrastructure, such as roads. Land also is used for
recreation and environmental research associated with the designation of the INEL as a National
Environmental Research Park. Some of this space serves as a buffer zone between INEL facilities and
other land uses. About 8 percent of the total INEL site area is used; 2 percent is for facilities and
operations and approximately 6 percent is devoted to public roads and utility rights-of-way that cross the
site. Recreational uses include public tours of general facility areas and the Experimental Breeder
Reactor I National Historic Landmark and controlled hunting, which is generally restricted to half a mile
within the INEL boundary. About 60 percent of the site is used for cattle and sheep grazing. A 900-acre
(400-hectare) portion of this land, located at the junction of Idaho State Highways 28 and 33, is used by
_

Environmental Technologies Testing and Demonstration Sites
the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station as a winter feed lot for approximately 6,500 sheep. Grazing is not
allowed with 2 miles (3 kilometers) of any nuclear facility and, to avoid the possibility of milk
contamination by long-lived radionuclides, dairy cattle are not permitted. The INEL site is located
within the Medicine Lodge Resource Area (approximately 140,415 acres or 56,800 hectares in the
eastern and southern portions of the INEL site) and the Big Butte Resource Area (430,499 acres or
174,000 hectares in the central and western portions), both of which are administered by the Bureau of
Land Management. Under resource management plans, portions of these resource areas are managed for
grazing and wildlife habitat. No mineral exploration or development is allowed on INEL land.
List Major Limitations Associated With Potential Use of the Site:
Public access to most facility areas is restricted.
Technical limitations: For some waste types, there is currently no means of transport from one location
to another. Demonstrations involving contaminated soil and water must have complete plans for
disposal of all disturbed material and all secondary waste from the process. Plans for disposal of
contaminated equipment also must be complete and the dismantlement portion of the demonstration
funded. Disposal criteria for many site wastes and waste forms have not been confirmed and disposal
facilities, such as the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, have not been permitted to accept waste.
Sole-source aquifer: The INEL site overlies the Snake River Plain Aquifer, the largest aquifer in Idaho.
As designated by the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. Section 1427), a sole-source aquifer is defined
as one that supplies 50 percent of the drinking water consumed in the area overlying the aquifer. Sole-
source aquifer areas have no alternative source or combination of sources that could physically, legally,
and economically supply all who obtain their drinking water from the aquifer. Because groundwater
supplies 100 percent of the drinking water consumed within the eastern Snake River Plain and an
alternative drinking water source or combination of sources is not available, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency designated the Snake River Plain Aquifer a sole-source aquifer in 1991 (F.R. 1991).
Contaminants: Radionuclides released and observed in the groundwater include tritium, strontium-90,
iodine-129, cobalt-60, cesium-137, plutonium-238, plutonium-239/240, and americium-241. As of 1992,
concentrations of iodine-129, cobalt-60, tritium, strontium-90, and cesium-137 exceeded the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant levels for radionuclides in drinking water in
localized areas inside the INEL site boundary.
Sodium, chromium, lead, and mercury have been released on the INEL site and into the subsurface
through unlined ponds and deep wells. Of these metals, sodium was released in the greatest quantity
from water treatment processes; however, it is not considered toxic and does not have an established
maximum contaminant level. In 1988, chromium concentrations exceeding the maximum contaminant
level were measured near the Test Reactor Area. Lead and mercury have been observed at
concentrations below the maximum contaminant level.
Chloride, sulfate, and nitrates have been released into the subsurface by human activities at the INEL
site. Although chloride and sulfate have been released, only nitrate has exceeded maximum contaminant
levels. Since 1988, the levels of nitrate have decreased to below the maximum contaminant level as a
result of reduced disposal rates.
_
-------
A Federal Directory
Concentrations of volatile organic compounds have been detected in the aquifer beneath the INEL site.
Concentrations of the following compounds exceeding the maximum contaminant levels have been
observed in and near the Test Area North disposal well: chloroform, 1,2-cis-dichloroethylenel 1,1-
dichloroethylene, 1,2-transdichloroethylene, tricholorethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and vinyl choride.
Carbon tetrachloride was in the aquifer at concentrations above the maximum contaminant level;
however, this concentration was observed only once.
Perched water quality. Wastewater discharges from INEL site operations have infiltrated into the vadose
zone and created locally perched water beneath the INEL site. Elevated concentrations of the following
contaminants have been detected in samples collected from the following locations: tritium, cesium-137,
cobalt-60, chromium, and sulfate concentrations in deep perched water near the Test Reactor Area;
tritium in shallow perched water and carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane,
tricholorethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and 1,1,-dichloroethylene in deep perched water near the
Radioactive Waste Management Complex; and strontium-90 in perched water near the Idaho Chemical
Processing Plant.
List the Three Major Contaminants at the Site: (1) Tritium, (2) Iodine-129, (3) NOX during calcining
runs. As can be inferred from the above discussion of contaminates, the major problems in terms of
volume are VOC-contaminated groundwater and soils around waste management units which are
contaminated with radionuclides. The list provided contains those that contribute to current risk to the
public. Tritium is found at numerous locations, some of which are near the site boundaries; iodine-129
has the potential for airborne transport; and NOx is released when the liquid high-level waste from past
processing of Naval spent nuclear fuel is calcined into a dry waste form for interim storage.

List Unique Opportunities and Challenges Associated With the Site:
The Nevada Test Site (NTS) comprises a 1,350-square-mile reservation of primarily undeveloped high
desert land. Site contamination is very limited and tends to fall into two main categories: (1) limited
areas of radioactive residue from underground tests which are deep beneath the surface and stable, and
(2) limited surface and near-surface contamination, generally of a light industrial, nonradioactive nature.
NTS is uniquely qualified for environmental technology development and testing by virtue of its status
as a massive and secure outdoor laboratory and national experimental center, with the following assets:
Physical size: 1,350 square miles, larger than the State of Rhode Island.
Controlled access: Readily accessible with appropriate clearances and badges.
Reliable security: Buffered on 3 sides by 4,120 square miles of federally controlled land (Nellis
AFB).
Predictable air: Air quality and climatology are well characterized and highly predictable.
Predictable water: Groundwater is deep (500 to 2,000 ft), slow moving, and well characterized.
Predictable soil: Subsurface stratigraphy well characterized.
Undisturbed condition: 45 years of controlled access leave much of the site in pristine condition.
Existing infrastructure: 100 miles of roads, 45 megawatts of power, two airstrips, 1,500 buildings
(2.9 million sq ft).
Population density: Located in a sparsely populated region (16,000 residents within 50 mile radius).
Metropolitan access: Las Vegas (pop. 1,000,000) located 65 miles SE of NTS.
Academic access: University of Nevada at Las Vegas and Desert Research Institute located in Las
Vegas.
Academic affiliations: NTS has teaming agreements with many national academic institutions.
Designated status: Designated as a National Environmental Research Park by DOE.
Human resources: Uniquely skilled cadre of technical testing specialists, as discussed below.
The above features provide an ideal location for environmental testing and demonstrations in a real-
world outdoor setting that is at the same time a controlled environment, far from any private
development or population centers. In addition to the inherent natural features of the site itself, there are
several major facilities which are vital for supporting the environmental technologies testing mission.
Specific facilities available for access under the DOE/NV umbrella include:

List Unique Opportunities and Challenges Associated With the Site:
The Hanford Site is 560 square miles with a wide variety of radioactive and hazardous materials which
need to be remediated. There is a significant legacy of radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste from the
previous defense mission. There is a need to protect the environment from the radioactive and hazardous
substances located on the site. There is a requirement to monitor the effects of the radioactive and
hazardous substances on the environment. And, the cleanup efforts must avoid as much as possible the
production of process-generated hazardous materials. Hanford personnel have extensive knowledge and
experience in research, testing, and demonstration.
Examples of potential demonstration opportunities include the following. A more complete list can be
obtained through the location point of contact.
1. Surface decontamination: Radioactive contamination at Hanford facilities is primarily a surface
phenomena, where walls are coated with contaminants or have absorbed radioactive materials. Other
hazardous materials also appear as surface films, including protective lead paints, used to cover
radioactive "hot spots" from previous operations. Other inorganic and organic toxins also are found
in paints and coatings. The safe, effective removal of these surface materials is a major goal in
reducing operator exposure, extending the usefulness of existing facilities.
2. Fuel sludge removal at K basins: Fuel canisters stored in the K basins contain uranium oxide sludge.
This sludge must be removed and the canisters de-watered to reduce or eliminate the radiolytic and
chemical dissociation reactions which are adding a heat load to the storage facility.
3. Low-level mixed waste thermal treatment: This process uses private resources to treat mixed waste,

Site consists of 14,974 acres of land, of which 80 percent is woodlands and 20 percent production lines
and mission support facilities. LAAP is a U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command
facility that is operated under contractual agreement with the Thiokol Corporation. The site is currently
on modified caretaker status. Past operations at the site have included the manufacture of shell metal
parts to Load-Assemble-Pack (LAP) ammunition items.
Soils in the demonstration area are generally sandy loam underlain by clayey sand. There are two
aquifers underlying the demonstration area. The depth to ground water in the shallow, unconfined
aquifer ranges from 7 to 20 ft. The depth to water in the lower, artesian aquifer is 130 to 260 ft. Average
monthly temperatures range from 47 to 83 degrees F, with an annual average temperature of 66 degrees
F. August and September are the driest months, while April is the wettest. Annual average precipitation
is 44.7 in.
List Major Limitations Associated With Potential Use of the Site:
This site was placed on the National Priorities List in October, 1984 due to groundwater contamination
from the Area P lagoons. Investigations showed that the upper aquifer is contaminated with explosives;
however, no contamination was found in the deeper aquifer, which is the drinking water source for
LAAP. The Area P lagoons received explosives-contaminated wastewater (pink water) from various
manufacturing operations during the 1940s; they were officially closed in August of 1990, however, the
groundwater beneath Area P is thought to be contaminated with explosives. An RI/FS identified six other
areas of concern at the LAAP, including two burning grounds, a landfill, an oily waste landfarm, an
electroplating waste lagoon, and a chromium etching facility. Soils and groundwater are contaminated
with metals (thallium, lead, arsenic and chromium), explosives (TNT, DNT, tetryl, RDX, and HMX and
various related nitroaromatic compounds), and solvents.*

List Unique Opportunities and Challenges Associated With the Site:
The main base facility includes 2,949 contiguous acres. Its current primary mission is management,
maintenance, and repair of aircraft, electronics, and communication equipment. The base was and is
engaged in a wide variety of operations involving the use, storage and disposal of hazardous materials.
These include industrial solvents, caustic cleaners, electroplating chemicals, heavy metals,
polychlorinated biphenyls, low-level radioactive wastes and a variety of fuel oils and lubricants.
Approximately 250 waste sites, potential release locations, and other areas that warrant investigation
have been identified. The base has a large operational soil vapor extraction (SVE) system in place and is
currently establishing other SVE units throughout the base. There is also an operable groundwater
treatment plant that treats extracted ground water.
The base is located on an alluvial plain which was created by the deposition of sediments eroded from
the Sierra Nevada. The land surface slopes gently. Soils in the vicinity of the base are derived from the
weathering of alluvial material that is principally granitic in origin. The stratigraphy beneath the base is
complex, as is typical of heterogeneous fluvial deposits. Typical sediments present are sands, silts, clays,
and, rarely, gravels. The groundwater level is about 100 ft below land surface. The climate is
characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, moist winters. Average monthly temperatures vary from 45
to 75 degrees F, with an annual average of 60 degrees F. Annual precipitation is 17.2 in, with January
being the wettest month.
List Major Limitations Associated With Potential Use of the Site:
Groundwater contamination consists of volatile organic compounds and metals. Contaminants
consistently detected include: benzene, carbon tetrachloride, TCE, vinyl chloride, 1,1-DCE, 1,2-DCE,
1,2 DCA, TCE, acetone, bromodichloromethane, 2-butanone, 1,1-DCA, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, toluene,
and trichlorofluoromethane. The contaminant having the greatest spatial extent is TCE. Approximately
660 acres of the base are underlain by plumes having TCE concentrations above the drinking water
standard. Soils contamination consists principally of chlorinated hydrocarbons (including many of the
same compounds listed for groundwater). The known areal extent of soils contamination is about 370
acres. !

List Unique Opportunities and Challenges Associated With the Site:
Site consists of 1,647 acres of coastal land. A 3.8-acre ex situ soil remediation facility was built on the
base where gasoline- and diesel-contaminated soil was stockpiled for controlled tests. A 300-ft xl80-ft
x2-ft impoundment area within the facility has been constructed to assure all rainwater and test fluids are
captured and monitored for contamination levels before discharge. Facility is monitored to detect any
contamination migration from the site. In addition to the ex situ site, several isolated sites have been
identified for in situ demonstrations of characterization and remedial technologies for contaminated soil,
groundwater, harbors, canals, and wetlands. A three-dimensional monitoring network with long-term
data retrieval is available for data comparison.
The ground surface is relatively flat, and is underlain by approximately 300 ft of unconsolidated clay,
silt, sand, and gravel of Holocene age that overlie clay, shale, and sandstone deposits of Pleistocene and
older ages. The geology, within 30 ft of the surface, consists of unconsolidated sands, silts, and clays
with minor amounts of gravel and fill material. A semi-perched aquifer is the uppermost groundwater
unit present beneath the site. The aquifer is contained within the first three depositional soil units,
consisting of an upper silty sand unit, an underlying fine- to coarse-grained sand unit, and a basal clay
unit. In general, groundwater within this aquifer flows southwest, with gradients ranging from
approximately .001 to .003 ft/day. The site experiences a moderately dry climate with mild, moist
winters, and warm, dry summers.
List Major Limitations Associated With Potential Use of the Site:
Primary contaminants consist of diesel, gasoline and waste oil. Secondary contaminants consist of
pesticides, transformer fluid containing PCBs, metals (As, Be, Mn, Ni, Sb), acids, solvents and materials
from firefightier training burnsites. Contaminants identified in harbor and canal water and sediments
include waste oils, detergents, solvents, PCBs, metals (Cu, Zn), benzoic acid, and pesticides.

The plant consists of 6,546 acres of land and facilities used for manufacture of bulk TNT. The
government-owned, contractor-operated facility is currently maintained in inactive status for possible
resumed production of TNT. Some of the remnants of 19 batch nitration lines (last used in 1975) were
removed for construction of the newer (1974) continuous lines. TNT production at the installation ended
in 1977. The area selected for demonstrations contains the former batch nitration lines (although no tests
are planned near the newer continuous lines), the World War n landfill, World War n burning ground
and the Redwater Treatment Plant Area.
Soil in this area is primarily of the Fullerton group, is strongly acidic (pH 5), and is of generally
undulating terrain. The topsoil consists of 8 to 18 in of brownish-gray cherty silt loam. The subsoil
consists of 10 to 32 in of yellowish-red silty clay loam, which has slow internal drainage. The soil
contains chert fragments and is highly susceptible to erosion. Soil thickness varies from approximately
25 to 135 ft. Depth to groundwater varies spatially as well as with time. There are numerous monitoring
wells located around the installation. Depths to water range from a few feet below the land surface to as
deep as 60 ft. Depths to groundwater in the demonstration area are between 20 and 40 feet. Average
monthly temperatures range is from 41 to 79 degrees F, with an average of 60 degrees F. Annual
average precipitation is 51.9 in, with March being the wettest month.
List Major Limitations Associated With Potential Use of the Site:
Soil and groundwater contaminants consist principally of explosives and explosives manufacturing-
related contaminants (TNT, DNT, and nitroaromatics), with some heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Pb, As, Be, Co,
and Ni) present in a few areas of the installation. Most soil contamination is located near old buildings
(or their remains) that were used to batch-manufacture TNT. Contamination has been detected in the
vadose zone but has not been well characterized or traced to entry points.

List Unique Opportunities and Challenges Associated With the Site:
Wurtsmith AFB occupies 7 square miles bounded by the Au Sable River/Au Sable River Wetlands
complex to the south, Lake Van Etten and Lake Huron to the east and to the west by bluffs fronting a 5-
mile-wide plain extending on to the base. The altitude of the land surface ranges from 580 to 750 ft
above mean sea level. Lake Huron ultimately receives the discharge from the associated groundwater and
surface water flow system and the Au Sable River. Surficial geologic materials are of quaternary glacio-
fluvial origins made up largely of medium to fine sands and coarse sand and gravel deposits to depths of
60 to 90 ft. Below the glacial deposits lies a thick confining lacustrine clay layer (125 to 250 ft thick) that
separates the upper aquifer from the lower, more saline waters in the bedrock units. In the eastern regions
of the area, intermittent sand, sand/gravel, and clay layers of 1 to 3 ft thickness have been observed in the
saturated zone. Monthly average temperatures range from 14 to 58 degrees F, with an annual average of
37 degrees F. Average annual precipitation is 29.8 in, including snowfall, with July being the wettest
month. The location is ideal for in situ demonstration and experimentation, as the geology is fairly
uniform and the saturated/unsaturated permeabilities are favorable.
List Major Limitations Associated With Potential Use of the Site:
A large number of known and potential contamination sites (>50) have been identified at the base.
Principal contaminants of concern include: aromatic and aliphatic components of POL, chlorinated
organic solvents (e.g., TCE, DCE), fire-fighting compounds, combustion products (e.g., aquifer solids).
Sediments and groundwater are the major environmental media affected.
