The U.S. Geological Survey, in support of the U.S. Department of Energy, Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project, collects, compiles, and summarizes hydrologic data in the Yucca Mountain region. The data are collected to allow assessments of ground-water resources during studies to determine the potential suitability of Yucca Mountain for storing high-level nuclear waste. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BRUCE BABBITT, Secretary U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Dallas L. Peck, Director,. For additional information write to: Copies of this report can be purcha.
Here we use 10 years of continuous data to analyze the tidal response of water level in a well in SW China to Earth tides and show that permeability of the shallow crust may change seasonally. Yucca Mountain Radiation Standards — The Energy Policy Act of requires Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop standards specifically for the Yucca Mountain 's standards are designed to protect the public and the environment from exposure to the radioactive wastes that would be stored in the repository. In the U.S. Congress directed EPA to develop standards for a.
Ten wells in the Yucca Mountain area of southern Nevada have been sampled for chemical analysis. Samples were obtained during pumping of water from the entire well bore (composite sample) and in one instance by pumping water from a single isolated interval in well UEb number 1. Sodium is the most abundant cation and bicarbonate the most abundant anion in all water samples. Wells J and J are located in Area 25 of the Nevada Test Site near Mercury, Nevada. These wells supply potable water for the Yucca Mountain Project. Water-quality analyses revealed that arsenic concentrations exceeded the new maximum contaminant level (MCL).
Water levels have been monitored hourly in 15 wells completed in 23 depth intervals in the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada. Water levels were monitored using pressure transducers and were recorded by data loggers. The pressure transducers were periodically calibrated by raising and lowering 1985-88 book in the wells.
The water levels were normally measured at approximately the same time that the Cited by: 6.

The regional model provides the boundary conditions for a detailed site-scale flow model. This report presents earthquake-induced water-level and fluid-pressure data for wells in the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada, during June Three earthquakes occurred which caused significant water-level and fluid-pressure responses in wells.
Wells USW H-5 and USW H-6 are continuously monitored to detect short-term responses caused by by: 4. Withdrawing water from a well causes the water levels around the well to lower. The water level in a well can also be lowered if other wells near it are withdrawing water.
When water levels drop below the levels of the pump intakes, then wells will begin to pump air - they will "go dry." Pumping a well lowers the water level around the well to.
Water levels have been monitored hourly in 16 wells representing 24 intervals in the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada. Water levels were monitored using pressure transducers and were recorded by data loggers. The pressure transducers were periodically calibrated by raising and lowering them in the wells.
Yucca Mountain, ∼ km northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, has been chosen by the United States government to be the site of the nation's fi rst permanent repository for high-level nuclear waste.
In a separate issue unrelated to the major Yucca Mountain lawsuits, the Energy Department (DOE) has filed suit against the State of Nevada over water rights at Yucca wants to pump acre-feet of water from the Fortymile Canyon-Jackass Flat Groundwater Basin in Nye County to the Yucca Mountain site each year for construction and operation of the repository.
