APPENDIX B

Examples of End Use Working Group Materials

 

This appendix includes some of the materials used in discussing Bear Creek Valley and the S-3 Ponds. Information is included on contaminant types, site history, site geology and hydrology, site risks, and costs and volumes to achieve alternative end uses. These examples are typical of information compiled for the other watersheds. Additional watershed information is available at the Information Resources Center, 105 Broadway, Oak Ridge.
