Project Showcase
Support for Hanford Site Cleanup Mission
EAS is using the liquid-phase Trident probe, an advanced groundwater detection and sampling tool, to determine groundwater discharge patterns in the Columbia River (Hanford Reach) from shore to shore, rather than relying on nearshore measurements alone. This work, in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site cleanup mission, is being conducted for CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Company. The information gathered by EAS will supply verifiable porewater data for remedial action decision-making. Porewater is groundwater that is seeping up (upwelling) beneath the surface of the river bottom in the space between rocks and sediment. EAS teamed with Trident probe developer, Coastal Monitoring Associates, to tailor the technology for sustained use in complex, offshore riverine environments, and to locate and more precisely measure compounds in the upwellings.
