EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of Phase 2 of the Highland Tailings Basin
Seepage Analyses which Water, Waste and Land, Inc. (WWL) is performing for
Exxon Coal and Minerals Co. (ECMC). The purpose of Phase 2 of the study was to
review the available field data and compare it with model predictions reported
by Exxon Production Research Co. (EPRCo, 1982).
The data review. consisted of preparing plots of water elevation as a
function of time as well as plots of chemical concentration as a function of
time for each of the wells with sufficient available data. These plots were
used to guide development of piezometric surface maps and chemical
isoconcentration maps based on collected field data. Piezometric surface maps
based on EPRCo model output were also prepared for approximately the same time
as the maps based on field data. Comparison of the two sets of piezometric
surface.-maps provided the basis for determining the adequacy of the EPRCo model
with respect to the groundwater flow system. Based on these comparisons it was
concluded that the EPRCo model probably does not adequately model the flow
system especially in the areas to the west of the reclamation lake. However,
.in the vicinity of the tailings basin, the model appears to be reasonable. The
plots of concentration as a function of time and isoconcentration maps were
used to develop locations of the tailings basin seepage front for conservative
ions. These were then compared to the seepage front location as predicted by
the EPRCo model. These comparisons indicate that the EPRCo model does a fairly
good job of predicting the location of the conservative ion seepage front in
the vicinity of the tailings basin. The lack of data for retarded species,
-AAuti ni•yiii•iau i di I ings basLin )eepdge And iyse5 inase Z 1-inal ReportWWL #2068 vii March 18, 1988
except in close proximity to the basin, makes it impossible to evaluate EPRCo's
predictions of the location of the front for such constituents.•
In addition to comparing the field data with EPRCo predictions, the Phase
2 analyses included predictions of the steady state concentrations in the
backfilled mine area to the west of the tailings basin. The predictions were
based on the assumption that water quality in wells completed in the backfill
are representative of how resaturation of the backfill effects background water
quality. It was also assumed that all future inflow to the backfilled mine
area originates beneath the tailings basin. The results of these computations
indicates that the total dissolved solids concentrations in the backfill areas
could exceed about 2,500 mg/l. However, it is deemed likely that the backfill
material will enhance neutralization of any low pH seepage from the tailings
basin. Such neutralization would serve to limit migration of metals and
radionuclides away from the basin.
The last task performed as part of the Phase 2 study was evaluation of
alternatives which may be suitable for mitigating the groundwater situation at
the Highland site. The four alternatives which were briefly evaluated were a
grout curtain, a slurry wall, a pumpback system, and no-action. The evaluation
included estimations of costs required to install and operate each of the
mitigation alternatives. As part of the no-action alternative, the ultimate
location of the low pH front was estimated based on the reported neutralization
capacity of the Tailings Dam Sandstone (EPRCo, 1982) and the estimated volumes
of seepage through the tailings basin. Based on these computations, it is
anticipated that the low pH front will not move a substantial distance from the
impoundment. Due to this observation and the relatively large costs associated
with any of the active mitigation alternatives, the no-action alternative is
recommended.

EXXON HIGHLAND TAILINGS BASIN SEEPAGE ANALYSES
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Water, Waste & Land, Inc. (WWL) has been contracted by Exxon Coal and
Minerals Company (ECMC) to perform an analysis of the ground water at Highland
Uranium Mill Tailings Basin. Phase 1 of the project was completed in October,
1987 and a letter report, which provided an assessment of the available data,
was submitted to ECMC. Phase 2 of the project consisted of comparing the
available data with previous predictions and is addressed in this report.
The Phase 2 portion of the seepage study was divided into a number of
subtasks. The first task undertaken was the conversion of the ECMC chemical
data base into WWL data base format. A general review of the data was
conducted which included checking the data base for accuracy of conversion and
determining the types of data available for each location.
The second task performed was to develop plots of head and chemical data
as functions of time for the tailings basin, wells and seeps at the site.
These plots were used to develop the piezometric surfaces and the
isoconcentration maps for the hydrogeologic units. Piezometric surfaces and
Isoconcentration maps. were constructed from the field data for three separate
times: 1982, 1985, and 1987.
Head data from the EPRCo areal model were used to construct the predicted
piezometric surfaces for the same three years. Comparisons were then made
between the piezometric surfaces predicted by the EPRCo model and the surfaces
constructed from the field data. The predicted locations of seepage fronts
were also compared with the estimated seepage fronts based on field data.
Based on the comparisons between the predicted and field heads and
isoconcentration maps, and analysis of individual wells and seeps a

recommendation as to the necessity of implementing Phase 3 is given. Phase 3
would require the development of alternative predictive methods for evaluation
of seepage from the tailings basin.
1.1 SITE LOCATION
The important features of the Highland site location are shown on Figure
1. The tailings basin was created by damming the north fork of Box Creek.
Mining began in 1972 with the first tailings delivered to the basin. in October
of 1972. In 1984, mining ceased and the mill was decommissioned. Since
decommissioning of the mill, the tailings basin has not been used. At the
present time, there is no ponded water on the surface of the basin and initial
reclamation of the basin has commenced. All of the mined area not immediately
around the reclamation lake has been backfilled and reclaimed. The backfilled
areas lie between the reclamation lake and the tailings basin.
1.2 HYDROGEOLOGIC SETTING
The local geology at the site can be described as consisting of
interbedded fine-to-coarse grained sandstone, siltstone, and claystone (EPRCo,
1982). The primary hydrogeologic units at the site, in order of increasing
depth are the Fowler Sand, the Tailings Dam Sandstone (TDSS), the Tailings Dam
Shale (TDSH), and the Upper, Middle and Lower Highland Ore Sands (50SS, 40SS
and 30SS, respectively). A generalized stratigraphic column for the Highland
area is shown on Figure 2. The units of importance for this study are the
TDSS, the TDSH, and the ore sands.
The TDSS is the unit of primary interest to this study since it is the
uppermost aquifer likely to be affected by seepage from the tailings basin. As
shown on Figure 1, the TDSS outcrops downstream of the tailings dam. In

addition, erosion in the channel of Box Creek had exposed the TDSS beneath the
tailings. Cross-section A-A', which parallels the old channel of Box Creek, is
shown on Figure 3 and demonstrates the potential for direct contact of tailings
with the TDSS.
The TDSH, which separates the TDSS and the 50SS, is considered the most
consistent rock stratum encountered at the Highland site (EPRCo, 1982). The
TDSH also outcrops to the east of the dam. Cross-section B-B', which passes
through and parallel to the tailings dam, is shown on Figure 4. As this
section view demonstrates, the TDSS has been completely eroded at this location
and some of the TOSH may have been removed by erosion as well.
The 50SS was one of the units mined during operations at Highland. It was
included in this study for two reasons. First, there is potential that seepage
from the tailings basin may flow vertically through both the TDSS and the TDSH
and into the underlying 50SS. In addition, geologic evidence suggests that
erosion in Box Creek may have removed the TDSH exposing the 50SS to alluvial
materials. Since the TDSS is also exposed to alluvium downstream of the dam,
it is possible that seepage could flow from the TDSS through the alluvium and
into the 50SS. Because alluvium and 50SS are in contact in the area east of
the dam, analyses of flow in this area was considered as part of the 50SS
hydrogeologic unit.

2.0 DATA AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Ground water monitoring at the Highland site began in 1972, prior to
deposition of tailings in the basin. The initial seepage monitoring network
was significantly expanded and improved during the project, with the current
monitoring program providing water chemistry data from each aquifer. In
addition, water levels have been monitored in most of the wells since 1981.
2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA BASE
All of the data and information used in this study were supplied by ECMC.
Most of the data were provided on electronic media in the form of files created
and maintained by ECMC personnel using the ECOTRAC program. Both water quality
and water level data were supplied. A complete list of sample locations is
provided in Table 1. This table provides a convenient cross-reference for
common well names (e.g. TDM VII) and the identification number, ID#, assigned
by the ECOTRAC software (e.g. 112). The units in which wells are completed are
also listed in Table 1.
Upon receipt of the data, printouts were generated and the data was spot
checked for accuracy. Complete details regarding database conversion and
quality assurance are provided in the Appendix. Both water level data and
water quality data were then converted to Lotus 1-2-3 format to allow plotting
the data as a function of time. These plots were used to guide selection of
data to include in this study. Table 1 also lists the sample locations which
were determined to be of significant use to this study. For these wells and
seeps, plots of water level and water quality as functions of time are
presented in the Appendix. Also included in the Appendix is a schematic
representation of the stratigraphy and well completion details. The plots are
arranged by ID# and hydrogeologic unit and are referenced frequently in this

report. Because of the large amount of data available for analyses, this
approach was deemed preferable to including all of the plots within the body of
the report. The plots are also more convenient for reference. than tables of
values since trends are usually apparent on the plots.
Unexplained large fluctuations in water levels are evident on many of the
plots. Based on discussions with ECMC personnel and evaluations of the water
level data, it was concluded that the most likely cause of these fluctuations
was sampling error. The plots do demonstrate general trends when the large
fluctuations are ignored.
Plots of water quality as a function of time were also prepared for all
wells and chemical constituents when sufficient data were available. Table 2
provides a listing of the water quality plots which were prepared for the
sampling points of interest to this study.
2.2 EPRCO MODEL SUMMARY
The 1982 EPRCo study addressed questions from the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regarding the amount and direction of seepage from the
tailings basin. The study reported on three main endeavors:
(1) a laboratory program to quantify the chemical interactions betweenthe tailings basin liquor and geologic strata underlying the tailingsbasin.,
(2) a geologic modeling program to describe the structure and lithologyof Highland, and
(3) a solute transport modeling program to predict tailings basin seepageand migration of solutes.
The geologic models of the Highland area used in the EPRCo study were
developed using EPRCo's computer programs for two-and three-dimensional
geologic mapping and modeling. A finite-difference solute transport model

developed by EPRCo was used to simulate seepage and solute movement through
geologic strata underlying the tailings basin. Three cross-sectional models
and one areal model were constructed. Flow was simulated to predict the
position of the seepage front and the position of each solute front to the year
2000. The cross-sectional modeling was performed to evaluate the vertical
movement of solute from the tailings basin to the underlying sands and to
estimate seepage as a function of time. The cross-sectional models had several
limitations. The models could not follow the curved flow paths between the
tailings basin and the outcrop area in the TDSS. This invalidated flow
calculations east of the tailings basin in that geologic unit. Another stated
limitation was the potential that the TDSH has a lower average permeability
than that used in the cross-sectional models. If this is the case, vertical
seepage through the TDSH would be less than predicted by the model and
additional horizontal movement in the TDSS would result. As a result, the
model would underpredict horizontal solute movement in the TDSS (EPRCo, 1982).
The areal model was used to predict the maximum horizontal movement of solutes
and to overcome the limitations of the cross-sectional models resulting from
the linear flow assumption.
The descriptions of the source-sink terms and boundary conditions used in
the EPRCo areal model were summarized in Section 6.2.4.1 of the EPRCo study
(1982) and are reproduced in the following:
"The initial and boundary conditions for the areal model weredetermined from the intermediate flow system shown in (Figure 5).The model-was initialized to a uniform potential of 5160 feet abovemean sea level. Potential specified source-sink terms were then usedto establishboundary conditions. The western boundary of the modelwas kept at a uniform potential of 5280 feet. This value wasobtained from (Figure 5) by interpolating between the 5266- and 5300-foot equipotential lines to estimate the potential of the north-southtrending equipotential line. Source-sink terms were also locatedalong the Tailings Dam Sand outcrop east of the pond. The potential

of each source-sink term was set to the outcrop elevation of theTailings Dam Sand.
The model was run for 500 days to establish regional flow. Themaximum grid-block pressure change was monitored during this period.Regional flow was considered to be established when the maximumpressure change became negligible.
The north and south boundaries were specified sufficiently farfrom the pond and surface mine to avoid having an effect. on flowpatterns. Since the north and south model boundaries were roughlyparallel. to :the west-east flow lines, they were defined as no-flowboundaries.
The open pits were simulated by defining source-sink terms inall blocks representing the surface mine. The source-sink termsproduced fluid at a constant rate of about one percent of the gridblock's initial water content until the block reached residual watersaturation. The source-sink term would then maintain thatsaturation. The locations of active source-sink terms were adjustedyearly to simulate the progression of the surface mine. To simulatebackfilling, use of the source-sink terms was discontinued and waterreinvaded the block. Backfill properties were used in all blocksrepresenting the surface mine.
It was not necessary to simulate the underground mine in theareal model. Grout was used to seal the Tailings Dam Sand from thevertical shaft, thus preventing the shaft from acting as anatmospheric, boundary condition. The lateral workings were allcompleted below the Tailings Dam Shale, and that unit was assumedimpermeable. It is believed that the underground mine had relativelylittle effect on ground-water flow in the Tailings Dam Sand.
In the areal model it was assumed that all seepage entered theTailings DaamrSand uniformly over the entire pond area. The seepagerate was estimated using the results of the cross-sectional models,as previously described. After surface mine shutdown in December,1983, the seepage rate was allowed to decrease in a manner similar tothat calculated by the cross-sectional models."
Other pertinent aquifer properties used in the EPRCo modeling endeavor are
tabulated in, Table 3. Conclusions reached in the EPRCo report, when the
predicted fronts were compared to the field data from the last quarter of 1982,
were:
(1) The position of the seepage front predicted by the areal model was ingood agreement with monitor well data north and south of the tailingsbasin.
(2) Fluid seeps into the North Fork Box Creek drainage area (along theTDSS outcrop). Solute migration was sometimes underestimated due tothe finite-difference gridding (discretization) of the areal model.

(4) The predicted position of the acidic front was in good agreement withmonitor well data north, east, and west of the tailings basin. Southof the tailings basin, the model appears to slightly overpredictacidic front migration.

3.0 ANALYSES
The analyses performed during this study were divided into the following
four components:
1) water level analyses,
2) water quality analyses,
3) predictions of steady state concentrations in the backfilled minepits, and
4) potential mitigation alternatives.
Each of these components are described in the following sections.
3.1 WATER LEVEL ANALYSES
In order to evaluate the model developed by EPRCo, water levels were
analyzed. Since advective solute movement is proportional to the gradient of
head, comparison of modeled and measured water levels provides a good
indication of the ability of the model to predict future water quality
conditions in the aquifers near the tailings basin. Since the model considered
areal flow only in the TDSS, comparisons of hydraulic head are limited to this
unit. However, trends in water levels in the other units of interest were also
evaluated.
3.1.1 Water Levels in the TDSS
The most comprehensive evaluation of water levels was conducted for the
TDSS since the EPRCo areal model was developed to predict flow and solute
transport for this unit. Piezometric surface maps were prepared for both
modeled and measured conditions for three times for which data are available.
The times for which maps were prepared were selected by evaluating the water
level versus time plots provided by well in the Appendix as described
L^^W~i niVliIQIlu ICLIIIitlyb Dd3] (I ;)t•~ yt: M[ld l~bt rndse z tinal ReportWWL #2068 19 March 18, 1988
previously. Piezometric surface maps were prepared for three times during
which water level trends could be established with confidence: April 1982,
July 1985, and April 1987. Piezometric surfaces based on EPRCo model output
for about the same dates were also developed.
Water levels in the TOSS are currently declining in response to reduction
of the free water contained in the tailings basin. Since seepage is being
reduced, the mound beneath the tailings basin is being dissipated as the
declining water levels indicate. Further decline is anticipated since seepage
will continue to be reduced as the tailings drain.
Certain constraints were present during development of the three TDSS
piezometric surfaces from the field data. Primary among these were the TOSS
outcrop locations. East of the tailings dam the TOSS outcrops along the
drainage area providing a boundary for the piezometric surface. The outcrop
provides the maximum elevation which the piezometric surface can have if it is
assumed that seepage can occur at the TOSS and underlying Tailings Dam Shale
(TDSH) interface. A typical cross-section for the outcrop area east of the dam
is shown on Figure 6a.
A second constraint on development of the piezometric surface is caused by
the mine pits. Two cases are possible for the water surface at the pits. For
the case of pits 4 and 5, the piezometric surface is equivalent to the
elevation of the outcrop locations of the TOSS around the reclamation lake.
For the backfilled pits, it was assumed that the water surface was equivalent
to that schematically shown in cross-section on Figure 6b. Water seeping from
the TOSS aquifer into the backfilled pits is assumed to have a potential, at
the pit boundary, equivalent to the elevation of the TDSS at that point.
The bottom elevation of the TOSS where it is exposed in an outcrop or a
mine pit thus defined the elevation of the TOSS water surface at that location.

An approximate mining boundary for pits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 was developed along
with the approximate location of the TDSS outcrop in those pits. The
approximate location of the TDSS outcrop around the-mined areas is shown on
Figure 1. Approximate elevations for the bottom of the TDSS were obtained from
a geologic map showing the elevation of the top of the tailings dam shale
(Humble Oil and Refining Company, 1971) and from a piezometric surface map
(Hydro-Engineering, 1987) showing the outcrop of the TDSS around the
reclamation lake.
Table 4 lists the water level data used to create the three piezometric
surfaces. The table shows the measured water level in a well, the date the
water level measurement was obtained, and the source of the data. The water
level elevations have been rounded to the nearest foot for the piezometric
surface maps. .Figures 7, 8, and 9 depict the piezometric surfaces based on
field data collected in April 1982, July 1985, and April 1987, respectively.
WWL requested water level data predicted from the EPRCo areal computer
modeling of the TDSS from ECMC. As stated by in a letter from Nina Springer to
J. F. Tomach dated October 29, 1987, a number of difficulties were encountered
in obtaining the head data:
1. Original model output was not available for the exact dates requestedin 1982, 1985, and 1987,
2. the original model output included only water pressures rather than
water levels,
3. only hard copies of the output were available, and
4. tapes found containing grid block depths had formatting problems andtruncated data.
As concluded in Ms. Springer's letter, the data provided to WWL should be

within about 50 days of the requested dates. The accuracy of the predicted
water levels is probably plus or minus 2 to 5 feet (Hagedorn, 1987).
Coordinates of the predicted head data were based on the grid blocks used
in the areal computer model. These coordinates were converted to the state
plane coordinate system, used at the Highland site, by a computer program
developed by WWL. The distribution of the predicted head data was interpolated
to an evenly spaced matrix and contoured using subroutines developed by PLOT88
(a proprietary software package) and maintained by WWL. The contours were
plotted and there appeared to be no obvious anomalies or errors in the data.
The piezometric surfaces developed from the EPRCo model are shown on
Figures 10, 11, and 12. The April 1982 predicted surface ranges from
approximately 5050 feet at the north end of the mine area to 5210 feet at the
tailings basin. Steep gradients exist between the tailings basin and the mined
areas. Steep gradients also exist between the tailings basin and the base of
the tailings dam. The isopotential lines generally are parallel and running
north and south in the northern portion of the considered area.
The July 1985 predicted surface ranges from approximately 5060 feet at the
north end of the mined area to 5200 feet at the tailings basin. Very little
change occurs in the isopotential lines around the periphery of the considered
area as compared to the April 1982 piezometric surface. The greatest change
between the 1982 and 1985 surfaces occurs around the mine area and near the
tailings basin. The groundwater mound beneath the tailings basin shows some
decline when compared to the 1982 mound while the mine area shows a gradual
increase in water level.
The April 1987 predicted surface ranges from approximately 5070 feet at
the center of the mine area to about 5190 feet beneath the tailings basin.
When compared with the 1982 piezometric surface, the effects of the predicted
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 30 March 18, 1988
re-establishment of regional flow become more apparent. A steep gradient
exists southwest of mine pits 3 and 4, indicating that regional flow is
entering the mine area. The gradient around the tailings basin has decreased
when compared to the April 1982 surface.
Comparison of the piezometric surfaces for 1982 and 1985 is limited to the
area around the tailings basin since measured data are available only in close
proximity to the tailings basin for those dates. Comparison of actual and
predicted piezometric surfaces for April 1982 indicates large head differences
exist, with the greatest difference appearing in areas west of the tailings
basin. Predicted ground water head at Well 114 was approximately 5120 feet
while the actual observed head was 5160 feet. The areas to the northeast and
due south of the tailings basin show the best comparison. Well 127 had an
actual head of 5157 feet while the model predicted a head of about 5162 feet.
This is within the stated error tolerance of the model. Well 117, immediately
south of the tailings basin had an actual head of 5170 feet while the model
predicted a head of 5160 feet.
Differences between the surfaces are also evident in the July 1985
piezometric surfaces. Again, the largest differences exist to the west and
southwest of the tailings basin. Well 114 had an observed water level of 5157
feet while the predicted head was approximately 5126 feet. Wells 120 and 117,
to the north and south of the tailings basin, respectively, are quite close in
the observed versus predicted heads. Well 120 had an observed head of 5169
feet while the predicted head was 5160 feet. Both observed and predicted heads
in Well 117 were about 5160 feet. The comparison is fair to the northeast with
the greatest deviation occurring at Well 125 where the predicted-head was 5160
feet while the observed head was 5143 feet.
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase•2 Final ReportWWL #2068 31 March 18, 1988
Comparison of the 1987 predicted and actual piezometric surfaces also
reveals substantial differences. Water levels collected at wells to the west
of the mine area allow an expanded comparison of these surfaces. The most
obvious difference between the two surfaces is that the actual heads are lower
than predicted to the west of the mine area. Regional flow back into the mine
area has not occurred to the extent predicted, with large head differences
existing between predicted and actual values. For wells 131, 132, and 133, the
differences are around 60 to 80 feet. While the wells in the western area have
significantly lower water levels than predicted, the wells north of the mine
area (150, 151, and 172) have measured heads which are greater than predicted
by the model. Wells 150 and 151 have measured heads about 25 feet higher than
predicted. Wells to the east of the tailings basin have measured heads which
are about 15 feet lower than predicted by the EPRCo model.
The April 1987 piezometric surface along cross-section C-C' as based on
field data is shown on Figure 13. The location of cross-section C-C', which
runs approximately east to west across the site, is shown on Figures 9 and 12.
The cross-section passes through the two backfill wells (Well 170 and Well 171)
and through the reclamation lake. The piezometric surface s hows the effects of
the groundwater mound beneath the tailings basin to the east of the mine area.
However, the backfilled area has water levels which are significantly below the
TDSS. On the west side of the lake, the effects of the dewatering operation
are evident, with the lake surface lying over 100 feet below the TDSS outcrop.
The April 1987 piezometric surface of the TDSS based on EPRCo model data for
cross-section C-C' is shown on Figure 14. The surface shows. the much higher
head values in the area west of the mine area, due to the predicted early re-
establishment of the regional flow, which is not yet evident in the actual
field data. Figure 14 shows that the influx of regional flow into the backfill

areas was predicted to cause water levels to be higher in these areas than the
measured data indicates.
The primary reason for the differences between the measured and predicted
piezometric surfaces appears to be related to the time required for the
reestablishment of the regional flow system. Comparison of the 1987
piezometric .surfaces indicates that the regional flow has not been
reestablished to the extent predicted during the EPRCo study. Possible causes
for the time lag are:
1. The regional gradient was less than initial-ly estimated andsubsequently used in the EPRCo flow model.
2. The dewatering program affected the surrounding aquifers to a greaterextent than initially estimated.
3. The constant head boundaries imposed along the western boundary ofthe modeled area were too close to the mine area causing the model tounderpredict the amount of drawdown which occurred due to dewateringand mining operations.
4. The permeability used in the model for the TDSS, (2000 md), washigher than actually exists in most of the formation, especially tothe west of the mine area.
The initial and boundary conditions for the areal model were determined
from the intermediate flow system, with the model's head initialized at 5160
feet above mean sea level. The western boundary was kept at a constant
potential of 5280 feet. The eastern boundary was a source-sink boundary with
the potential kept equal to a constant equal to the outcrop elevation of the
Tailings Dam Sandstone. The model was then run for 500 days to establish
regional flow.
In thedescription of the boundary conditions, no mention was given in the
EPRCo report as to the effect that the dewatering operation would have. The
open pits were simulated by defining source-sink terms in all the blocks
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 35 March 18, 1988
representing the mine area. The backfilled mine area was simulated by
discontinuing the source-sink terms and allowing water to reinvade the block.
However, prior to mining actually beginning, a cone of •depression probably
existed in the TDSS due to dewatering operations. It does not appear, based
upon the description of the initial and boundary conditions in the EPRCo
report, that the effects of dewatering prior to mining were considered in the
model.
A description of the dewatering wells was given by Dames and Moore (1978).
As described in that report, a total of 17 dewatering wells had been
constructed in the mine area by 1978. The wells were generally pumped at rates
from 15 to 70 gpm. The wells had been screened in nearly all the sandstone
intervals. below the original ground water level. The report also concluded
that, based on the pumping operation, nearly all of the screens were dewatered
during pumping operations. As such, significant amounts of water were removed
from the sandstone aquifers during the dewatering operations. If, as
suspected., the EPRCo model did not consider these dewatering activities, a
large portion of the observed differences between the observed and predicted
piezometric surfaces would be thusly explained.
3.1.2 Water Levels in the 50SS
As listed in Table 1, water levels are available for only six 50SS wells.
The locations of these wells are shown on Figure 15. Water level data are
available beginning in 1982 for wells 111, 116, 128, and 129. Collection of
water level data for wells 148 and 152 was not initiated until 1985. Three of
the 50SS wells - 116, 128, and 129 - are completed near TDSS wells. Water
levels collected in January 1987 for the TDSS and 50SS wells were compared to
estimate the head difference available to cause seepage from the TDSS into the

5OSS. Well 116, which is completed in the 50SS, and TDSS Well 114 are about 28
feet apart and the water level in the 50SS was about 71 feet lower than the
water level in the TDSS. The water level in TDSS Well 127 was about 57 feet
above the water level in 50SS Well 128 which is approximately 17 feet away.
Similarly, the water level in TDSS Well 120 is nearly 74 feet :higher than in
5OSS Well 129 located about 29 feet away.
Water levels in the 50SS around the tailings basin are also shown on
Figure 15. The water level elevations, measured in April 1987, range from
about 5073 feet to about 5099 feet. While enough control points are not
available to develop a piezometric surface with any confidence, the water
levels indicate that a groundwater divide exists in the vicinity of Wells 111
and 152. This may be indicative of seepage from the tailings basin reaching
the 5OSS in the vicinity of Well 111.
As shown on Figure 1, the area east of the dam is bounded by the TDSS
outcrop along both sides of the north fork of Box Creek. Two wells, 111 and
148, are located in this area. Both Well 111 and Well 148 were completed in
the 50SS, as shown in the well schematics provided on Figure 16. The screened
intervals in both wells are located within the 50SS with bentonite and grout
sealing thewell bores above the screen to the surface. While the water level
data provided on Figure 15 indicates that easterly flow is occurring to the
east of the tailings dam, the water levels in Wells 111 and 148 indicate that
flow may also be occurring in the alluvium in this area.
Also shown on Figure 16 is the schematic of well 110 which is completed in
the 40 sand. The wellbore has been sealed from the overlying alluvial fill and
the 50 sand by bentonite and grout. Well 110 is located approximately 20 feet
from well 111. Only minimal differences in water levels in the 5OSS and the
40SS are indicated by water level data presented on Figure 16.

location of the contaminant front based on field data with that predicted by
the model. Because most of the retarded constituents have not moved very far
from the tailings basin, it was not possible to accurately develop
isoconcentration plots for these chemicals. Therefore, much of the following
discussion pertains to the location of the seepage front which is defined as
the location of the conservative, or non-retarded, front..
Since most of the constituents which are of interest from a regulatory
standpoint are very much effected by acidity of the ground water, some of the
following discussion alludes to the "acid front". It should be recognized that
the seepage front and the acid front are not the same and that the seepage
front will generally move further than the acid front during: the same time
period. The location of the seepage front provides an indication of the total
distance which fluids from the tailings basin have migrated. The. acid front,
on the other hand, provides an indication of the distance which regulated
chemicals may migrate away from the tailings basin.
3.2.1 Chemical Constituents of Interest
The Highland uranium mill used a conventional acid leach-solvent
extraction process to remove uranium from the ore. Consequently the tailings
fluid at Highland was acidic with a pH value of about 2. Concentrations of
many regulated and unregulated chemicals and elements are found in the tailings
basin liquor. Because of the low pH of the tailings f~luid some of these
chemicals are more mobile than others.
EPRCo studied several chemical species in order to identify tracer
elements that could be used to verify their flow modeling results. In their
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 40 March 18, 1988
study, EPRCo considered both conservative and nonconservative (retarded)
species. The following three criteria were used by EPRCo to determine if a
chemical constituent could be classified as a conservative tracer:
(1) Concentrations of the chemical should not be attenuated by chemicalor other reactions as it is transported through porous media,
(2) Concentrations of the constituent should be substantially higher inthe tailings fluid than in groundwater, and
(3) Concentrations of the constituent should not dependent on pH.
Calcium, magnesium and chloride were chosen by EPRCo as meeting these criteria.
In the current study, calcium was eliminated as a conservative tracer because
it appears to be mobilized as fluids move through the geologic materials. This
mobilization was noted during preparation of the isoconcentration maps for
calcium since concentrations in the ground water appear to increase with
distance from the tailings basin. Preparation of isoconcentration maps for
chloride and magnesium indicate that both are suitable for use as a
conservative tracers.
Chloride is often used as a conservative tracer in groundwater studies.
In addition, abundant chloride concentration data for the groundwater at
Highland are available in the database. Therefore, the location of the seepage
front in the aquifers at the Highland site were estimated based on chloride
concentrations. Magnesium concentrations were used to support the conclusions
based on the chloride concentrations.
In the TDSS and the 50SS aquifers the extent of tailings fluid seepage is
determined based on the position of the conservative tracer relative to the
tailings basin. The seepage front is defined as groundwater with chemical
concentrations equal to one-half of the input chemical concentration. Since
concentrations of chloride and magnesium, which were deemed to be conservative
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 41 March 18, 1988
tracers for this study, were increasing in the tailings basin (the input
source) the concentration used to determine front location was an estimated as
the average of all the chloride and magnesium concentrations in the samples
taken from the tailings basin. The average concentration of chloride in the
tailings basin was about 435 mg/l and while for magnesium the average
concentration was about 497 mg/l. Because concentrations of both magnesium and
chloride were increasing in the tailings basin (probably due to evaporation
after tailings deposition was halted), 200 mg/l was chosen to represent the
concentration of the seepage front for these chemicals.
Any chemical species whose concentration changes as it moves through
geologic formations is defined as non-conservative. Chemical and other
reactions often serve to reduce the concentrations of certain constituents
which are normally found in tailings fluids. For example, reactions between
geologic media and the tailings fluid causes the pH to increase. The increase
in pH often tends to cause precipitation of metals thereby leading to
reductions in their concentrations as water moves away from a tailings basin.
Other reactions may also be involved in retarding the movement of chemical
constituents in the tailings seepage. A list of nonconservative tracers
according to the studies performed by EPRCo (1982) is provided in Table 5.
When sufficient data were available, concentrations of these chemicals were
also evaluated to develop estimates of the location of the acid-front.
Recent regulations promulgated by the NRC (1987)• identify certain
chemicals which must be monitored to protect groundwater .in the vicinity of
active tailings basins. These regulations also provide mechanisms for
determining levels of concentrations which are acceptable on a site specific
basis. In general, the limits are based on concentrations measured in
groundwater which has not been affected by seepage, or so-called background

concentrations. When background data are available, methods for evaluating
compliance with the regulations are also outlined. In the absence of adequate
background data, the regulations also provide maximum permissible
concentrations. for certain chemical species. Table 6 lists the chemicals which
are regulated by the NRC and which sample analyses indicate are present in the
tailings fluids. Also provided in Table 6,is the maximum concentration
observed in all samples collected from the tailings basin as well as the
average concentrations for the regulated chemicals. Plots of chemical
concentrations in the tailings fluids are provided in the Appendix (ID# 031).
The maximum concentration of barium in the tailings basin liquor never exceeded
NRC ground water regulations. Therefore, barium was not included in these
analyses.
3.2.2 Water Quality of the TDSS
As shown in Table 1, water quality data is available from 16 wells
completed in the TDSS. The locations of these wells are shown on Figure 17.
Data from eight of these wells were used to track the seepage from the tailings
basin. The water quality at the remaining seven wells appears to be at
background levels. In 1981, Exxon completed four wells - 131, 132, 133, and
134 - to the west of the mine pits for the purpose of establishing regional
groundwater gradients in the vicinity of the Highland operations area (EPRCo,
1982). Water quality data for samples collected from these wells since late
1984 are summarized in Table 7. The NRC (1978) reported representative
background water quality concentrations for groundwater in the vicinity of the
Highland site based on quarterly samples collected from four wells completed in
the Highland aquifer outside the ore zone during 1976 and :1977. While their
completion intervals do not necessarily include the TDSS, the data from these

wells - 3, 8, 16 and 17 - are presented in Table 7 for comparison to recent
data collected from the TOSS.
When chemical data were available for a well over a period of time greater
than a few years, trends in the concentration levels of the chemical were often
evident on the plots presented in the Appendix. Several monitoring wells
completed in the TDSS showed increasing chemical concentration levels with
time. In some of these wells, the concentrations reached levels which were
significantly above background levels. Such trends are probably indicative of
the tailings seepage reaching these wells.
The TOSS to the northeast of the tailings basin was the most monitored
unit at Highland, with chemical data available from five wells. Of the wells
in this area, well 015 has the longest record of chemical data'. The data prior
to 1981 was from an original well which was abandoned in 1981 because it
appeared that the wellbore had become silted resulting in sampling problems as
well as difficulty in interpreting sample analyses results. A replacement well
was drilled in 1981 and water quality data from this well has been combined
with the data from the original well so that the plots in the Appendix
represent all data collected at this location.
An enlarged plot of the chloride concentration versus time for Well 015 is
presented on Figure 18 since it provides a fairly complete indication of
changes in groundwater quality since initiation of operations at the site.
Starting in 1974, the plot shows that the chloride concentrations remained near
background levels for several years then increased over a period of about three
years to a level of 200 mg/l. At about this time (August 1981) the replacement
well was brought on line and a slight discontinuity is seen in the data. Data
collected from the new well continued to exhibit a slight increasing trend with
levels reaching concentrations slightly greater than 200 mg/l. The data

presented on Figure 18 indicate that the leading edge of the seepage plume may
have reached Well 015 as early as January 1979. The seepage front actually
reached the well in mid-1981 based on chloride concentrations in the well
reaching levels of about 200 mg/l.
Based on plots of chloride concentration as a function of time, it is
estimated that the tailings seepage reached wells 112, and 125 in 1985.
Concentrations. of magnesium, sulfates and total dissolved solids generally
support this conclusion. Chloride concentrations have remained at levels
slightly in excess of 200 mg/l in the area of these wells since 1985. Chloride
concentrations in wells 127 and 147 have remained near background levels.
Therefore, the extent of tailings seepage to the northeast of the tailings
basin does not extend as far as Well 127 or Well 147. As described previously,
water levels in wells in this area have been steadily decreasing and the TDSS
in the area of vicinity of Well 147 has been unsaturated since 1986.
Tailings seepage on the western side of the tailings basin was monitored
at Well 114 beginning in 1981. In 1982, two samples having concentrations
greater than 200 mg/l were taken from the Well. Chloride concentrations in
samples from the Well rose steadily to a maximum of 365 mg/l in 1986. Because
data are not available earlier than 1982, the time at which the chloride front
reached this Well is unknown. However, chloride concentrations indicate that
tailings seepage has reached this Well which is probably not surprising given
its close proximity to the tailings basin.
Chloride concentrations at Well 120 on the north side of the tailings
basin have remained around 200 mg/l since 1982, when sampling began. A similar
trend was seen in Well 117 which is on the south side of the tailings basin.
There is no evidence that tailings fluid has migrated for any distance beyond
these Wells.
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 50 March 18, 1988
To facilitate comparison with results of the EPRCo (1982) study,
isoconcentration maps were prepared. Solute concentration values were taken
from the solute concentration versus time plots and were used to develop
isoconcentration maps for chloride, calcium, magnesium, sulfate, TDS and pH at
three times: April 1982, July 1985, and April 1987. The average chemical
concentration value was recorded on a map of the tailings basin area and other
values were filled in by interpolating linearly between the known data points
and isoconcentration lines were sketched. Dashed or broken isoconcentration
lines indicate that data is insufficient to make an accurate estimate. The
isoconcentration map for the 1987 chloride concentrations is presented on
Figure 19 while the remainder of the maps are provided in the Appendix
(Isoconcentration Maps).
As the chloride concentration map indicates, the current location of the
seepage front is well defined to the northeast of the tailings basin as it has
advanced beyond Wells 112 and 125 but has not reached Well 127 or Well 147. On
the west side of the tailings basin,.data indicates that the front has passed
beyond Well 114. However, Well 151 shows no evidence that the seepage front
has reached it. The seepage front appears to be spreading to the north and
south of the tailings basin beyond Wells 120 and 117. However, the extent of
seepage beyond these Wells cannot be accurately determined.
The extent of seepage from the tailing basin into the TDSS was predicted
by the EPRCo Seepage Study in 19.82. In their report, EPRCo provides locations
of the seepage fronts in terms of groundwater velocities at Various times for
conservative, as well as retarded, chemicals. Since chloride is considered to
be a conservative tracer, the isoconcentration plots prepared as part of this
study were compared to EPRCo plots of the location of the unretarded velocity

front. It was assumed that the 200 mg/l isoconcentration line represented the
location of the front for the measured data.
Figures 20 and 21 show the seepage fronts predicted by: EPRCo and as
estimated as part of this study for 1982 and 1987, respectively. The 1982
predictions made by EPRCo for unattenuated solute movement are fairly accurate
for seepage from the tailings basin to the north. However, the EPRCo
overestimated movement of the seepage front to the south and underestimated
movement of the seepage front to the west and east. EPRCo came to similar
conclusions in 1982 when their model was compared to two months of data
obtained during the last quarter of 1981.
EPRCo suggested reasons why the model underpredicted seepage front
migration in those directions. To the east, seepage front migration was
underpredicted because the model described the TDSS as discrete blocks which
limited the seepage to two points near the upstream end of North Fork Box
Creek. Actually, the seepage was more spread out along the outcrop (EPRCo,
1982). Two likely reasons were given by EPRCo as to why seepage front
migration was underpredicted to the west of the tailings basin. First,
tailings were discharged in the western part of the basin from 1972 to 1977.
The higher than predicted concentration may be a result of vertical leakage of
liquor to underlying formations near the discharge spigots.' A second possible
cause of the discrepancy is that a high permeability area may exist in the TDSS
which caused increased fluid flow west of the tailings basin.
As shown on Figure 7, the 1982 TDSS water surface based on field data
indicated very steep piezometric gradients to the west of Well 114. Since the
EPRCo model did not predict gradients as steep as those observed, the actual
flow may be greater than predicted in this direction. As noted by EPRCo in
1982, the backfilled mine area intersects the TDSS thereby preventing extensive

fluid migration due to the low permeability of the backfill. Piezometric
gradients were also underestimated to the east of the tailings basin in 1982
which may have caused the seepage front to travel further than predicted.
Similar trends are seen when the 1987 predicted and measured seepage front
locations are compared. Again, EPRCo's predictions appear to be accurate to
the north of the tailings basin but appear to overestimate seepage front
migration to the south and underestimate seepage front migration to the east
and west of the tailings basin. The reasons for the underprediction of seepage
front migration in 1982 probably apply in 1987 as well. Again, seepage front
migration to the west from the tailings basin will be intercepted by the
backfilled mine area. To the east of the tailings basin, all of the wells
completed in the TDSS have shown decreases in water levels since 1985. As
stated earlier, the TDSS at Well 147 is unsaturated. The groundwater mound
probably reached maximum areal extent northeast of the tailings basin in 1985
and has been receding since that time.
While sufficient data were available to allow comparison of modeled and
measured locations of the seepage front based on conservative tracers, not
enough data regarding the retarded chemicals were available to develop similar
comparisons for these parameters. Therefore, the measured concentrations of
chemical species regulated by the NRC were compared to standards as listed in
Table 6. , The maximum allowable concentrations listed in the regulations were
selected for comparison since background data for most of the regulated species
are sparse.
When enough data were available, plots of the concentration of the
regulated species as a function of time were constructed. These plots are
contained in the Appendix as described previously. In general, no trends were
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 56 March 18, 1988
evident from these plots although the standards listed in Table 6 are exceeded
occasionally at some of the wells.
The comparisons with NRC standards for Well 015 are presented in Table 8.
Based on the data available, cadmium and lead concentrations exceeded the
standards only once and twice, respectively. Unfortunately, not enough data
have been collected to confirm this observation and the available data were
collected before replacement of the old Well at this location. For both
metals, the highest values were obtained for the first sample analyzed with
subsequent samples dropping dramatically so that the last sample analyzed was
below the standard. One of the selenium values which exceeded the standards
occurred very early in the life of the project. The second exceedance occurred
prior to replacement of the Well. Because of the large number of selenium data
available, it is not believed that the high values noted are indicative of
retarded species reaching the Well. In reviewing the plot of pH as a function
of time, it appears that the pH varies substantially for samples collected from
the old Well. The highest value recorded is 11.6 while the lowest value
recorded is 4.6. After replacement of the Well, pH values ranged from a low of
6.5 to a high of 8.1. An enlarged plot of pH as a function of time is provided
on Figure 22. While pH data collected just prior to replacement of the Well
appears to be low, the large amount of variation makes it impossible to
determine if the depressed pH is due to seepage from the tailings basin or
simply due to problems with the old Well. It is interesting to note that the
pH drops from a high of 11.6 in March of 1978 to about 4.8 by September of
1979. This is also approximately the same time which the conservative front
reached that Well (see Figure 18). However, it seems unlikely that sufficient
low pH water from the tailings basin could have reached the Well that soon
after arrival of the conservative tracers, particularly given the large drop in

pH which was observed. Since replacement of the Well, only a few pH
measurements are less than 7. Again, this indicates that the low pH values
encountered near the end of the life of the old well are due to problems with
the Well rather than arrival of the acid-front. As the data in Table 8
indicate, the radium standard was exceeded for approximately 11 percent of the
samples collected from this Well. Careful review. of the plot of Ra-226 as a
function of time in the Appendix indicates that there is no clear trend to
these exceedances. Given the fact that the Highland site is located in a
uranium producing area, it is likely that radium concentrations will exhibit
substantial variation. The data certainly do not suggest arrival of the acid
front since correlation with either the pH or chloride plots is impossible.
Water quality data collected for Well 112 are compared to the NRC
standards in Table 9. Again trends in the lead and cadmium data indicate that
the two exceedances noted for these metals probably are not statistically
significant, and the high values can be dismissed as outliers. As noted, four
exceedances of the selenium standard have been observed. Again no trends are
evident when all of the data are reviewed. The extremely high selenium values
observed since March 1987 are difficult to explain because of the wide
variation in results. New analyses techniques for selenium were instituted by
the laboratory early in 1987. While this may be partially responsible for the
higher selenium concentrations observed at the Well, the lack of trends in the
data make it unlikely that the increased selenium concentrations are due to the
arrival of selenium from the tailings basin. Selenium concentrations for
samples collected since March 1987 have varied between a low of 0.001 mg/l in
April to 0.605 mg/l in May. Because these data do not display the gradual
increase normally associated with groundwater transport, it is deemed more
likely that much of the selenium observed in Well 112 originates from naturally

occurring deposits. Evidence in the literature suggests that selenium is often
found In conjunction with Uranium deposits. In addition, selenium mobility is
dramatically effected by oxygen availability with redox potential (Eh) having a
greater effect on its mobility than does pH. The water levels in Well 112 have
dropped about 10 feet in the last two years. Under conditions of a falling
water table, oxygen availability is generally not limited and selenium, if it
is present, generally becomes more mobile. As further evidence that the source
of selenium at Well 112 is natural rather than the tailings basin, the initial
sample collected in July 1987 had a selenium concentration of 0.244 mg/l.
Following collection of the initial sample, which was collected using standard
procedures, the Well was pumped for an additional two hours and then sampled
again. In the second sample, the selenium concentration had dropped to 0.068
mg/l. The Ra-226 standard was slightly exceeded four times since initiation of
sampling for this Well. The lack of trends indicate that this may be due to
natural processes rather than seepage from the tailings basin.
Concentrations of regulated species for Well 114 are compared with the
standards in Table 10. As described previously, data collected from this Well
indicates that the conservative seepage front had reached the Well by the time
sampling began in 1982. In addition, the pH of the water in the Well has been
slightly acidic throughout most of the Well's life. In addition, cadmium,
chromium and lead standards are exceeded a relatively large percentage of the
time. The cadmium data indicates that the slightly depressed pH may prevent
cadmium from precipitating, thereby indicating that cadmium from the tailings
basin has reached this well. The chromium data is more difficult to explain,
since the values noted are larger than expected. The fact that selenium
appears to be immobile also makes it difficult to explain the relatively high
cadmium and chromium concentrations since cadmium and selenium should exhibit

similar mobility. The two exceedances of the Ra-226 standard occurred early in
the life of the Well and subsequent values have been well below the standard.
Therefore, it is deemed most likely that these exceedances are outliers rather
than due to seepage from the tailings basin.
Comparison of measured data with the NRC standards for Well 117 are
presented in Table 11. As with Well 114, chloride data indicates that the
seepage front had arrived prior to initiation of sampling at this location.
Further, the pH appears to be slightly depressed and the cadmium standard has
been exceeded for a significant number of samples. Unlike Well 114, the
chromium values in Well 117 have never exceed the detection limit which is well
below the standard of 0.05 mg/l. The lead standard is exceeded twice out of
eleven samples but the exceedances appear to be isolated events rather than
part of a trend. The single exceedance of the Ra-226 standard occurred for the
April 1987 sample which is the last data point available. Therefore; it cannot
be concluded that this sample is not part of a trend but comparison with
previous values indicates a substantial increase.
Data collected for Well 120 are compared to the NRC standards in Table 12.
As with the other wells located close to the tailings basin, it appears that
the seepage front reached this Well prior to the initiation of sampling.
Unlike the other wells, however, the pH in this Well is much closer to neutral.
Nonetheless, the data indicate that the cadmium standard has been exceeded for
about one-third of the samples collected from this Well. Given the wide
scatter of these data, it is difficult to dismiss these higher values as
outliers.. Three of the exceedances occurred for the most recent samples, so
additional data will probably be required to determine if an upward trend in
cadmium concentrations is beginning. The two exceedances of the lead standard
also occurred for the most recent samples. Prior to that, all of the lead

concentrations were below the minimum detectable concentration (note that for
lead the detection limit and the standard are the same, 0.05 mg/l). The
highest value, 0.08 mg/l, occurred for the next to the last sample with the
last sample showing a decline to 0.06 mg/l. At least one of the Ra-226 values
which exceeds the standards is thought to be an outlier since it is
substantially higher than all of the other concentrations noted. As the plot
in the Appendix indicates, no trends are apparent for Ra-226.
The comparisons for Well 125 are presented in Table 13. While it appears
that the seepage front probably reached this Well in 1985, all measurements of
pH have been above 7. The only NRC standards which are exceeded are Ra-226 and
selenium. The selenium exceedance occurred in October 1986 and subsequent
samples exhibited concentrations below the standard. The value for Ra-226
which exceeded the standard was 5.2 pCi/l which is only 0.2 pCi/l above the
standard. Due to the lack of any trends, it is not believed that this is an
indication that regulated species from the tailings basin have reached this
Well.
As stated previously, it is not believed that the. seepage front has
reached Wells 127 and 147 since chloride values are near background levels.
Nonetheless, the concentrations for the regulated species were compared to the
standard in Tables 14 and 15, respectively. There is only one exceedance for
any of the parameters at Well 127; the selenium standard was exceeded for the
sample collected in April 1987. Since it is not believed that the seepage
front has reached this Well, the exceedance is likely due to sampling error or
natural causes. The exceedances of the cadmium and Ra-226 standards at Well
147 occurred for the first sample collected at the Well. Subsequently, the
concentrations dropped below the standard values.

The information presented in Tables 8 through 15 is summarized in Table
16. Based on these comparisons, it is possible that the leading edge of the
low pH front has reached wells 112, 114, 117 and 120, which are located very
close to the tailings basin. However, it is highly unlikely that the low pH
front has reached any of the other wells completed in the TDSS.
3.2.3 Water Quality of the 5OSS
The EPRCo Seepage Study predicted that the seepage front first reached the
50SS in 1977. Water quality data for the wells completed in the 50SS were used
for comparison with the EPRCo predictions. As with the TDSS, the first task
consisted of reviewing the water quality data versus time plots for the 50SS
wells. As described previously, water quality in the seeps to the east of the
tailings dam were included in the analyses of the 5OSS water quality since the
alluvium in this area is in contact with the 50SS.
The chloride concentrations at Well 116 appear to be at background levels
(about 20 mg/l). Therefore, it does not appear that the seepage front which is
represented by a chloride concentration of 200 mg/l has reached this Well in
the 5OSS even though evidence indicates the seepage front has reached Well 114
in the TDSS. Well 114 is only about 28 feet from Well 116 so it appears that
the intervening TDSH is preventing significant seepage into the 50SS at this
location.
Well 128 is located to the northeast of the tailings dam approximately
about 57 feet away from TDSS Well 127. Water quality results obtained for Well
128 are difficult to assess since the pH has remained near 11.5 throughout much
of the Well's life. In addition, the chloride concentrations were initially
very high and then decline to a steady value of slightly less than 100 mg/l.
It is possible that the high pH and chloride concentrations in the Well are due

to contamination during drilling and completion of the Well. In addition, none
of the other constituents (sulfates, TDS, and 'magnesium). indicate that the
seepage front has reached this Well. The fact that it does not appear that the
seepage front has reached Well 127 in the TDSS also lends credence to the
conclusion that the fluids being sampled from Well 128 have not been affected
by seepage from the tailings basin.
Well 129 is completed in the 50SS about 17 feet from Well 120 which is
completed in the TDSS. Trends in the chloride concentrations for this Well
indicate that the seepage front may have reached this Well although the
concentrations are still less than 200 mg/l. Concentrations of other non-
regulated species support this conclusion. As described previously, the
seepage front had reached well 120 in the TDSS by the. time sampling was
initiated.
The water quality data collected for Well 152 is generally indicative of
background concentrations. Chloride concentrations range from about 25 to 45
mg/l, and no clear trends have been established. However, the limited data
which are available show no indication that the seepage front has reached this
Well.
As described previously, 5OSS Well 111 penetrates alluvial material to the
east of the tailings dam. Water levels indicate that flow may be occurring in
the alluvium. Chloride concentrations in this Well have been generally high
since initiation of sampling in 1981; they increased from about 200 mg/l in
1981 to about 260 mg/l at the present time. Considering 200 mg/l as the
location of the seepage front, it would appear that seepage from the tailings
basin has reached this Well. Concentrations of other species support this
finding.
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 73 March 18, 1988
Well 148 is completed in the 50SS to the east of Well 111. This well has
only been sampled since November 1984. Initial samples indicated the chloride
concentration was about 120 mg/l. Recent samples indicate concentrations of
about 200 mg/l which may be due to seepage from the tailings basin. However,
this Well also has pH values which range between 11.5 and 12.5. Again, it can
not be verified if this is due to contamination due to drilling or natural
causes. However, it does cast some doubt on the validity of the conclusion
that the seepage front may have reached this far east in the SOSS.
The quality of water samples collected from the seeps which issue from the
alluvium downstream of the tailings dam were also evaluated as part of the 5OSS
study. Water quality data from three Seeps with ID's 012, 013, and 014 were
available for analyses. In general, the chloride concentrations are high
enough to indicate that the seepage front has reached all three of the Seeps.
The chloride concentrations in Wells 111 and 148 appear to be similar to those
obtained from samples collected from the Seeps. This may be an indication that
the alluvial material which overlies the 50SS provides the pathway for movement
of seepage into the 50SS.
Chloride isoconcentration maps were then constructed for the 50SS for
April 1982, July 1985, and April 1987 using data collected from the monitoring
wells. The estimated location of the seepage front in the 50SS for each of
these times is depicted on Figure 23. This plot was then used to determine the
distance traveled by the seepage front for comparisons with the EPRCo model.
The comparison for the East-West cross section is presented on Figure 24. As
this Figure indicates, the measured and predicted seepage fronts compare
favorably to the east of the dam. The estimated location of the seepage front
based on Figure 23 is substantially further to the west than predicted by the
EPRCo model. A similar comparison is presented for the Northwest-Southeast

cross-section on Figure 25. As this Figure indicates, the predicted seepage
front is substantially behind the location of the seepage front estimated in
this study. It should be noted that this interpretation may be very much
affected by the interpolation procedures used in the preparation of Figure 23.
Again, the limited data available for analyses make it impossible to
determine the location of the low pH front in the SOSS with any confidence.
Therefore, water quality data for the wells and seeps considered as part of the
50SS system were compared to the NRC standards as-done for the TDSS.
The comparison of water quality at Seep 012 with NRC standards is
presented in Table 17. The only parameters which exceed the standards are Ra-
226 and selenium. Neither of the plots of concentration versus time for these
parameters demonstrate trends, so it is concluded that the exceedances probably
are not due to seepage from the tailings basin. The pH versus time plot for
this Seep may indicate some limited decline with time but considerable scatter
is evident in the data making it difficult to determine if the trend is due to
seepage. It should be noted that, with one exception, the pH does not drop
below 6.5.
A similar comparison is presented for Seep 013 in Table 18. Again the
only parameters which exceed NRC standards are Ra-226 and selenium. As at Seep
012, no trends are evident and the most recent concentrations are below the
standard values. Again, considerable variation is noted in the pH versus time
plot and no definite trends can be detected. It is not believed, however, that
the low pH front has reached this seep.
The comparisons for Seep 014 are presented in Table 19. The selenium
standard has been exceeded only three times, the last of which was in March
1982. Since that time, all selenium concentrations have been very low. The
last exceedance of the Ra-226 standard occurred in May 1982, with subsequent

measurements being well below the standard value. It is not believed that
these exceedances are a result of seepage from the tailings basin. Once again,
considerable variation in pH values are evident and no trends can be detected.
It should be noted that the pH values range from a low of 6.2 up to about 8.5.
Water quality data from all wells completed in the 50SS were also compared
to the NRC standards. Of the six wells investigated, only Well 111 had any
parameters which exceeded the standards. The comparison for this Well is
presented in Table 20. As the plots in the Appendix demonstrate, both the
arsenic and the selenium standards were exceeded twice at this Well. As can be
seen on the concentration versus time plots for these parameters, the
exceedances occurred for both parameters at the same time and presumably from
the same sample. It is probable, therefore, that these occurrences are due to
sample contamination or other problems, and are not indicative of water quality
in the 5OSS. The last exceedances for these two constituents occurred in
October 1983 with concentrations before and after this date being over an order
of magnitude less than the October 1983 values. There was only one sample
analyzed for lead. Although it exceeded the standard, no conclusions can be
reached regarding whether or not the exceedance was due to tailings seepage.
The pH measurements for this Well are generally less than 7, although the
lowest measurement was 6.3. Since, the pH is somewhat lower than expected,
this may be an additional indication that seepage from the tailings basin has
reached this Well.
To summarize, it is believed that only three 5OSS wells have been reached
by seepage from the tailings basin. These Wells are 111, 129 and 148. Only
Well 129 is not located in the area east of the tailings dam. The indication
of seepage at Wells 111 and 148 is thought to be due to the fact that the 5OSS
is in direct contact with the alluvium. The erosional thinning of the TDSH in

the vicinity of the tailings dam could also have an effect on the amount of
seepage which reaches the 50SS. The seepage at Well 129 must be due to seepage
through the TDSH. Another possibility at this location is leakage around the
wellbore. Given the relatively consistent thickness of the TOSS, this
possibility may be the most reasonable since seepage into the 50SS apparently
has not occurred at Well 116. It does not appear that any of the 5OSS wells
can be considered to be out of compliance with NRC regulations at the present
time although the pH in well 111 may exhibit limited depression.
3.3 STEADY STATE CONCENTRATION IN THE BACKFILL AREAS
As part of these analyses, water quality in the backfilled areas of Pits 1
and 2 has been predicted. During operations at Highland, ore was removed from
four open pits numbered 1 through 4. Pits 1 and 2 were backfilled with
overburden material while Pits 3 and 4 have been left open and are being
reclaimed as a lake. Backfilled Pits 1 and 2 are located about 2000 feet
southwest of the tailings basin.
During mining operations the pits were dewatered. Upon completion of
mining, dewatering was discontinued and the pits were backfilled. At this time
groundwater began flowing into the pits with the lower portions of the backfill
becoming saturated. It is anticipated that the water table in the reclaimed
pits will rise at a rate similar to that expected in the reclamation lake.
According to EPRCo (1983), the lake is predicted to reach its maximum depth in
about 100 years. At that time it is believed that the groundwater mound under
the tailings basin will have dissipated and that regional groundwater flow in
the area will be re-established.
Currently, steep water table gradients exist between the tailings basin
and the backfilled pits indicating that a large portion of the tailings fluid
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 84 March 18, 1988
will flow into the backfilled pits. Predictions of groundwater quality in the
backfilled pits were made by assuming that all of the groundwater in the mound
beneath the tailings basin will flow into the backfilled pits where it will be
well mixed with existing pit groundwater. For this analysis, concentrations of
total dissolved solids (TDS) were used as an indication of the quality of
groundwater in the backfill. For estimation purposes, it was assumed that
inflow from the eastern side of the pits would have TDS concentrations equal to
that currently observed in the vicinity of the tailings basin (Wells 112, 114,
and 117). The remaining volume of water required to bring the pit water levels
up to predicted steady-state levels was assumed to have TDS concentrations
equal to that currently observed in the wells completed in the backfilled
areas. Simple mass balance techniques were then used to compute the water
quality in the backfill:
CmVm + CpVpCb=b
in which C represents TDS concentration, V is volume, and the subscripts b, m
and p denote the backfill, the mounded area to the east of the pits, and
current pit, respectively.
The volume of backfill material contained in Pits 1 and 2 was estimated
based on available maps of the mine area during the years which the mine was in
operation. These maps were used to determine pit bottom elevation contours.
It was presumed that the water levels in the backfilled pits would reach the
top of the Tailings Dam Sandstone under steady-state conditions. Approximate
elevations of the top of the Tailings Dam Sandstone were obtained from data
provided in, the EPRCo Seepage Study (1982), the EPRCo Reclamation Lake Study
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 85 March 18, 1988
(1983), and well logs for wells completed in the vicinity. The total volume of
backfill in Pits 1 and 2 below the water table is estimated to be about 1.1
billion cubic feet. According to data provided by the EPRCo Reclamation Lake
Study (1983), the porosity of the backfill material is approximately 35%.
Therefore, at steady-state approximately 385 million cubic feet of pore water
will be stored in the backfill material.
Water quality data collected from the background wells completed in the
Tailings Dam Sandstone was used to estimate TDS concentrations of inflow water
from the west side of the pits. The average TDS concentration in those wells
is about 600 mg/l. It is probable that the TDS concentrations in the
backfilled pits will increase somewhat as water percolates through backfill
materials as infiltration in response to precipitation or lateral inflow from
aquifers. Two wells, 170 (TDM XXXIII) and 171 (TDM XXXVII), have been
completed in the backfilled areas of Pit 2. Water quality and water level data
are available for these wells beginning in February, 1986..: The average TOS
concentration for these wells is about 800 mg/l indicating that backfill water
quality is not significantly degraded relative to background concentrations in
the Tailings Dam Sandstone.
Based on results of the EPRCo Seepage Study (1982), it is estimated that
the total volume of tailings fluid that will seep from the tailings basin is
about 180 million cubic feet. Recent analyses of groundwater samples collected
from the mounded area indicate that the average TDS concentration of the
tailings seepage is about 5000 mg/l. Approximately 205 million cubic feet of
water is required to fill the backfill area to steady-state conditions. The
TDS concentration of the backfill groundwater at the time that recovery is
complete is estimated to be about 2760 mg/l.
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 86 March 18, 1988
The prediction of TDS concentrations of 2760 mg/l in the backfilled pits
represents a worst case scenario (based on the assumptions described above)
which would occur in about 100 years. After this time the groundwater mound
created by the tailings basin will have dissipated and groundwater flow in the
area will approach steady state. Generally, groundwater flows. at background
TDS concentrations (600 mg/l) will enter the backfilled pits from the west side
while poorer quality backfill water will exit to the east. side of the pits.
This flushing action will tend to improve the quality of the backfill pit pore
water until it finally approaches background water quality concentrations. It
is probable, therefore, that the water quality in the backfilled areas will
eventually be indistinguishable from water in the Tailings Dam Sandstone
aquifer. Unfortunately, insufficient data exist to allow prediction of the
length of time necessary for these conditions to occur.
While the above approach is suitable for conservative tracers (TDS,
Chloride, etc.), it cannot be utilized to predict the worst case concentrations
of the less mobile species. However, information supplied in the EPRCo Seepage
Study indicates that the shale materials in the area have a larger buffering
capacity than the sandstones. It is likely, therefore, that the backfill
material, which consists of intermixed shale and sandstone materials, will have
more than sufficient capacity to buffer any low pH fluid that might reach the
pits. This indicates a low probability that metals or radionuclides will
remain mobile in the backfilled areas. Therefore, there is little probability
that seepage from the backfilled areas into the lake will impact lake water
quality with respect to these parameters. It is possible, however, that TDS
concentrations in the lake may be effected by seepage from the backfill areas.
It should be noted that the analyses described in the previous paragraphs
are approximate and are based on several assumptions. Probably the most
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 87 March 18, 1988
important assumption regards the estimated quality of water flowing through the
backfill. If the TDS concentrations are significantly higher than the 800 mg/l
estimated herein, the maximum TDS concentration in the. backfill will be
substantially higher than calculated. Because of the limited data available
regarding the leaching characteristics of the backfill material, the backfill
TDS concentration was estimated from data collected from wells completed in the
backfilled areas. Since these wells have been in place only for a relatively
short period of time and recovery is not complete, additional leaching may
occur leading to higher TDS concentrations. Column leach tests performed for
coal overburden materials and spent oil shale generally indicate that one to
two pore volumes. of water must pass through the spoils before chemical
concentrations begin to decrease. Therefore, it might be prudent to install
additional wells in backfilled areas, particularly those areas which were
backfilled early in the life of the project.
3.4 POTENTIAL MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES
Three seepage control systems for the Highland tailings basin have been
briefly evaluated. The purpose of these seepage control• systems would be to
reduce the migration of contaminants in the TDSS away from the tailings basin.
The three systems analyzed were a grout curtain, a slurry wall and a well
system. In addition, the no-action alternative has been analyzed.
Two of the systems analyzed, the slurry wall and the grout curtain, would
act as physical barriers to the groundwater flow. Both of these systems are
used to rehabilitate dams that have seepage problems and exhibit excessive
uplift pressures on their downstream side. The physical barrier methods are
effective in blocking flows in areas where they are placed but:tend to increase
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 88 March 18, 1988
flows in other geologic units which are not blocked. A pumpback system to
actively remove contaminated water for disposal was also considered.
3.4.1 Grout Curtain
A grout curtain is a series of drilled holes into which a sealing agent or
grout is injected. The grout can be a mixture of cement and water and may
contain lime, clay or asphalt. In recent years chemical grouts have come into
use. The grout curtain is usually created with a single, double or triple line
of holes. A split spacing approach is often used. For example, the initial
grouting may be carried out in holes on 20 feet centers, then in later holes on
10 feet and 5 feet centers if necessary. Piezometric tests are carried out on
secondary and tertiary holes prior to grouting to test the efficiency of holes
already in place (Freeze and Cherry, 1979).
Injecting grout into the pore spaces of the Tailings Dam Sandstone may be
successful only in the high permeability areas. Cement grout may not be
effective because of the comparatively small pore space of the TDSS. The use
of chemical grouts may be necessary thereby introducing the problems of high
cost and potential toxicity.
A grout curtain 100 feet long consisting of two rows of holes, one placed
on 20 feet centers and one placed on 10 feet centers, would contain 17 holes.
Assuming a drilling cost of $5 per foot of hole, drilling costs would be $8,500
per 100 feet length of curtain. Material and labor costs are estimated to
range from $15 - 30 per feet 3 for pressure grouting with cement grout (Means,
1986). Using these cement grout prices and an average depth, and effective
porosity of 100 feet and 0.2, respectively, the TDSS could be grouted for
approximately $120,000 to $225,000 per 100 feet of grout curtain length. The
perimeter of the tailings basin is about 15,000 feet.
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 89 March 18, 1988
3.4.2 Slurry Wall
A slurry wall is a trench which is filled with a low permeability material
such as bentonite Slurry. If a slurry wall was placed around the perimeter of
the tailings basin, it would be about 15,000 feet long. ýTo completely
penetrate the Tailings Dam Sandstone, trench depths would vary from about 30
feet to approximately 180 feet. A map of the tailings basin area showing
average depths from the ground surface, through the TDSS to the top of the
TDSH, is shown on Figure 26. A slurry wall encircling the Highland tailings
basin, penetrating to the TDSH with a width of two feet would require
approximately 60,000 cubic yards of slurry material. Information on several
slurry walls proposed and under construction is listed in Table 21. Based on
this information, a slurry wall at Highland would almost certainly cost in
excess of $25 million.
3.4.3 Pumpback System
The third seepage control system analyzed was groundwater interception
wells. With this system contaminated groundwater would be removed from the
Tailings Dam Sandstone by pumped wells and disposed of through evaporation,
treatment and discharge, deep well injection into an aquifer that contains non-
potable water, or some other method. In these analyses, it was assumed that an
evaporation system would be used to dispose of pumped water.
To effectively design a well system the hydraulic properties of the
aquifer to be pumped must be estimated as accurately as possible. The
important properties are aquifer thickness, hydraulic gradient of the water
table, permeability, and apparent specific yield. Given the heterogeneity and
the large areal extent of the Tailings Dam Sandstone at the Highland Tailings

Basin obtaining accurate estimates of its hydraulic properties would be a
costly and time consuming process. After the hydraulic properties of the
.aquifer havebeen determined, the well spacing, pumping rates and type of well
construction necessary to efficiently remove contaminated water can be
determined.
In order to study the feasibility of an average well system, hydraulic
properties determined from pump tests in the Tailings Dam Sandstone were used
to determine a well spacing. The hydraulic properties for the Tailings Dam
Sandstone presented by Hydro Engineering in July, 1987, and in the EPRCo
Seepage Study were used with methods presented by McWhorter and Sunada (1977)
to determine drawdown, radius of the cone of depression,' pumping times and
pumping rates for the proposed wells. A summary of TDSS aquifer properties is
provided in Table 22. Based on these test results, an average thickness of 35
feet and an apparent specific yield of 0.1 was assumed for all calculations.
Permeabilities ranging from 0.1 to 10 feet/day were used in the analyses.
In areas of low permeability, the relative thinness of the Tailings Dam
Sandstone presents a problem in that a well would be pumped dry before the cone
of depression extended an appreciable distance from the well. With a
permeability of 0.1 feet/day, the calculations indicate that a well pumped at a
rate of 2.5 gpm will become dewatered in less than five days and the cone of
depression will have extended only about 100 feet from the well. In areas of
higher permeability (1 to 10 feet/day), the computations show that the cone of
depression would have a radius in excess of 200 feet.
If the cone of depression of the pumped well is assumed to represent the
"capture zone" of the well, a well spacing of about 400 feet would be necessary
to remove a significant amount of the contaminated water from the TDSS under
stagnant water table conditions. The term "capture zone" is used to describe

that portion of the aquifer which actually yields water to the well (Keely,
1984).
The steep hydraulic gradient (0.01 to 0.1 feet/feet) in the area of the
tailings basin is likely to reduce the effective capture zone of a well. Where
a steep gradient is present the capture zone diminishes to a small fraction of
the zone of pressure influence (Keely, 1984). The steep hydraulic gradient in
the vicinity of the tailings basin will probably reduce the well spacing to
less than 200 feet. Such close well spacing may require on the order of 50
wells to control the contaminant plume.
The cost for a well system includes the price of installing 50 wells,
building a 100 acre evaporation pond with a spray evaporation system, piping
the effluent to the pond and disposing of the sludge which remains in the pond.
Total installation cost is about $2-3 million and operating costs are estimated
to be $500 thousand per year. A brief breakdown of cost estimates is given in
Table 23. Assuming 50 wells pumping at 2.5 gpm, it would take approximately
20.5 years to remove the total volume of fluid which is estimated to seep from
the tailings basin. It is likely, however, that only about one-half of the
seepage fluid could be recovered so a more reasonable estimate of pumping time
is about 10 years. It should be noted that this approach Would control the low
pH contaminant plume but would not retrieve all groundwater which has been
affected by conservative species (TOS, Cl, etc.).
3.4.4 No-Action
In groundwater contaminant transport it is recognized that the advance of
many solutes depends strongly upon the acidity of the solution. Most solutes
travel much further in an acidic environment than in a neutral or basic

environment. The areal extent that the low pH front will travel in the TOSS
has been estimated in this report.
The buffering capacity of the TOSS relative to the acidic tailings
solution was estimated by EPRCo (1982) in their seepage study. EPRCo reported
that the pH of tailings fluid would be reduced from 8.5 to 6 after two pore
volumes of tailings solutions have passed through the TDSS. Results obtained
during the EPRCo Seepage Study are reproduced on Figure 27. The location of
the low pH front was estimated by computing the volume of TDSS required to
neutralize all of the tailings seepage to a pH of 6.
To obtain an estimate of the total amount of tailings fluid that will seep
out of the tailings basin, the amount of seepage that occurred from 1973 to
1987 as estimated with the EPRCo (1982) model was summed with the amount of
tailings fluid contained in the pore space of the tailings in 1987. By the end
of 1987, the standing water in the tailings basin had been removed. It is
estimated that the tailings basin contains approximately 11.3 million tons of
tailings (WWL, 1984). Assuming the tailings were saturated and their porosity
is about 35 percent, the tailings contained a volume of 61 million feet 3 of
fluid at the end of 1987.
According to the EPRCo model (1982), the total seepage from 1973 to 1987
was about 118.5 million feet 3 . Therefore, a total of 180 million feet 3 of low
pH tailings fluid is estimated to seep into the TOSS. Using a porosity of 0.3
and an average thickness of 35 feet for the TOSS, an area of 8.5 million feet 2
has a pore volume of nearly 89 million feet 3 . This area would therefore
neutralize nearly all of the seepage to a pH of about 6.
Because the free water pool has been removed, the rate of seepage will
decrease until all of the drainable tailings fluid has left the tailings basin.
EPRCo (1982) estimated this will occur in 1992. The drainable porosity of the

tailings is estimated to be 0.2 (WWL, 1984). After the tailings have drained,
seepage will occur at a rate equal to the recharge into the tailings due to
precipitation. According to Dames and Moore, the regional recharge rate in the
vicinity of the tailings basin is about 0.4 in/year. If it is assumed that
this amount of recharge will occur throughout the cover, 5.65 acre feet per
year of fluid will seep from the basin. At this rate the residual tailings
fluid contained in the tailings will be displaced from the tailings basin in
about 106 years.
Based on these computations, the acidic front (defined by a pH of 6) will
have reached its maximum areal extent in the TDSS in about 110 years. The
approximate affected area is shown on Figure 28. This low pH zone may have
high concentrations of metals and radionuclides. Outside of this boundary will
be a neutral pH zone where all of the metals and radionuclide occur at
significantly lower concentrations.
The line on Figure 28 marked "existing fluid" would be the 6 pH front if
only tailings seepage from 1973 to 1987 and tailings fluid contained in the
pore spaces in 1987 is considered. The line marked "200 years" is the extent
of the low pH front if the existing fluid considered above and all of the
naturally occurring recharge for 200 years is assumed to be low pH. The line
marked "1000 years" is the extent of the low pH front if the recharge for 1000
years is considered along with the existing fluid. These latter scenarios are
probably ultra conservative in that there is not sufficient hydrogen in the
tailings to continue to produce acid as water percolates through the tailings.

to install in the Tailings Dam Sandstone and may cause increased flow into
other geologic units. This may create even more difficult problems than
currently exist. A well system would be costly to design and implement and
would require operation and maintenance for several years.
In the aquifer below the tailings basin at Highland, geochemical reactions
cause the advance of the low pH front to be retarded. Calculations show that
the low pH front will not spread significantly beyond the boundaries of the
tailings basin. In addition, declining water levels in the vicinity of the
tailings basin and the slow recovery of the backfilled pits and the reclamation
lake to the west of the basin are likely to cause the low pH front to migrate
primarily in a westerly direction. It is anticipated, therefore, that the
effected areas will lie primarily on lands controlled by ECMC. For these
reasons, and the high expense associated with an active mitigative program, the
no-action alternative is recommended for the groundwater situation at the
Highland site.
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 101 March 18, 1988
4.0 RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on the analyses performed in the previous section, it is concluded
that the EPRCo model does not.model the flow system at the Highland site very
well. It is believed that the lack of comparison is due to neglecting water
pumped from the various aquifers during mine area dewatering operations.
Because the modeled water levels to the west of the mine area are higher than
the measured heads, the model also tends to predict that the backfilled pits
(and the reclamation lake) will fill faster than field data indicates. While
this probably won't have any real effect on seepage from the tailings basin, it
may lengthen the time necessary for re-establishment of regional flow.
Comparisons of measured water quality data with the EPRCo model
predictions indicates reasonably close agreement. However, due to the problems
with the flow portion of the model, this agreement may be fortuitous, and it is
likely that future comparisons will show less agreement. Lack of data
regarding non-conservative tracers make it impossible to develop locations of
the fronts for these tracers. Therefore, it is not possible at this time to
determine the reliability of retardation factors used in the EPRCo model.
Based on data collected in the field, it appears that tailings basin
seepage, as based on the location of the chloride front, has reached the
following Wells in the TDSS: 015, 112, 117, 114, 120, 125 and 127. Of these
wells, it is probable that regulated species from the tailings basin may have
reached wells 114, 117, and 120. It is also possible, although less lOely,
that the low pH front has reached Well 015. It is believed that any
exceedances of NRC standards in Wells 112, 125 and 127 are due to sampling
error or other events unrelated to tailings basin seepage. However, because
Wells 114, 117 and 120 have been designated as compliance wells for evaluation
of compliance with the NRC regulations, it is possible that the NRC could take
Exxon Highland Tailings Basin Seepage Analyses Phase 2 Final ReportWWL #2068 102 March 18, 1988
action under the current regulations. It is unlikely, however, that regulated
chemicals in the tailings basin will move outside the permit boundary. On the
other hand, it is probable that the non-regulated, conservative tracers will
move off site in the future.
Based on data collected from wells completed in the 50SS, it appears that
tailings basin seepage has reached this unit in the area to the east of the
tailings dam. In addition, there is some evidence that the conservative
tracers have migrated through the TDSH in the vicinity of TDSS Well 120 and
50SS Well 129. It does not appear that the failure to comply with the NRC
standards can be demonstrated in the 50SS, with the possible exception of Well
111.

5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations for future work include:
1) Review sample quality assurance/quality control plan. Much of thedata collected in the past is difficult to interpret because ofunexplained variation. This is particularly true of water levelmeasurements. The plan should also include normal QA/QC proceduresfor sample collection (rapid filtering of. samples, properpreservation techniques, collection of split and blank samples,etc.).
2) Continue to collect water quality and water level data from the wellsnear. the tailings basin. It appears that semi-annual sampling isadequate for tracing trends in water quality.
3) Do not implement the Phase 3 study at this time. Even though it isrecognized that the EPRCo model does not do a particularly good jobof modeling the flow system, it is unlikely that a better model couldbe. developed without the collection of additional data.
4) Curtail additional work on Phase 4 of the study. Some potentialmitigation alternatives are evaluated in this report. Untiladditional data is collected, those evaluations probably cannot beimproved.
5) Develop and implement a field investigation program which will allowa better understanding of groundwater conditions at the site. Thisprogram should include provisions to
a) provide more confidence in background water quality conditionsof the TDSS.
b) determine the groundwater flow direction to the north of thetailings basin.
c) better define the location of the acid front includingconcentrations of regulated species in the groundwater (extentand concentration).
d) additional wells in the backfilled areas to refine estimates ofthe long term water quality and its effects on the reclamationlake water quality.

DATABASE QUALITY ASSURANCE
DATABASE QUALITY ASSURANCE
The purpose of this appendix is to summarize and document the conversion
of the project database from the Exxon Coal and Minerals Co. (ECMC) computer
system to the Water, Waste and Land, Inc., (WWL) computer system. In addition,
the Quality Assurance (QA) activities which were required ýto ensure that the
database had been successfully transferred are described., .Problems in the
conversion process as well as errors in the database are also identified.
FILE CONVERSION
The data from ECMC's computer system was delivered to WWL at the start of
the Highland Seepage Analysis Project (WWL 2068). The data consists of
chemical and water level data from sampling points located in and around the
Highland Uranium Mine. The data was maintained by ECMC using the ECOTRAC
environmental data management system.
The data was transmitted on five 5-1/4 inch diskettes. The first diskette
contained four files, one data file and three reference files used in the
relational environment of the ECOTRAC data management system. These files are
described below:
Type File Name
Ref. PLANT.DBF
Ref. WELL.DBF
Data GROELE.DBF
Data Description
Site/Facility description. Establishes• the plant keyfield (PK) which is used to relate entries in theWELL.DBF, GROELE.DBF, GROSAM.DBF and GRODAT.DBF files.
Physical description of well/sample location at aparticular Site (PK). Establishes the well key field(WK) which is used to relate the GROELE.DBF,GROSAM.DBF and GRODAT.DBF files.
Water level data for wells (WK) at a particular site(PK).
Description of parameters which are chemicallyanalyzed for each well (WK). ý Establishes theparameter field (SK) used to relate the GRODAT.DBFdata file.
Ref GROSAM.DBF
These files are in dBase III format and are directly readable by dBase III and
ECOTRAC. Additionally, these files were converted into LOTUS 1-2-3 worksheet
format using the TRANSLATE utility provided by LOTUS.
The remaining 4 diskettes contained the GRODAT.DBF file which was "backed
up" using ECMC's BACKUP routine. These BACKUP files were RESTORED onto WWL's
mass storage device using the MS-DOS RESTORE utility. The resultant file is a
dBase III file. This file contains the chemical data values for the Highland
Site (PK=3), at each well/sample location (WK) and for every parameter (SK)
analyzed. A total of 16,504 records existed in this data file.
All the files were copied into a single sub-directory to be utilized by
the ECOTRAC software. The ECOTRAC system was re-indexed to establish the key
relationships for the data base. Additionally, a dBase III VIEW file was made
using the same relationships established by ECOTRAC so the dBase III software
could be used to query the database.
DATA INTEGRITY
While querying the database to ensure proper relationships had been
established, it was observed that the GRODAT data file contained SK values as
great as 1429 while the GROSAM reference file contained no SK values higher
than 1221. Since the relationship of the SK value establishes the parameter
name and detection value for a data value in the GRODAT, data, those GRODAT
records with SK values greater than 1221 were inaccessible by the ECOTRAC
software. Therefore, the GROSAM reference file and the GRODAT data files were
further examined for any inconsistences which could compromise the data.
In the GROSAM reference file it was found that four duplicate SK values
existed, numbers 106, 261, 658 and 720. The duplicates of numbers 106, 658 and
720 either contained true duplicate values in their records or partially filled
records and were therefore deleted as these records served no purpose.
However, the first record with an SK of 261 contained the parameter name SI for
Well 11 while the second record with an SK of 261 contained the parameter name
TDS for Well 12. To rectify this contradiction the first record with an SK of
261 was changed so that Its SK is equal to 1222. Accordingly the SK values in
the GRODAT data file with WK equal to 11 and SK equal to 261 were changed to
1222. Additionally a record which contained only a value of zero in the PK
field was deleted from the GROSAM reference file.
In the GRODAT data file there was a single record with WK equal to 47.
The SK value for this record was 5 which corresponded to WK equal to 1 in the
GROSAM reference file. Further, the GROSAM reference file contained SK values
of 1006, 1007, 1008 and 1009 for WK equal to 47. Since only a single record
existed for WK equal to 47 I.n the GRODAT data file and its SK value is
incorrect, the parameter ID Is not known. The SK value was changed to 1008. for
WK equal to 47 in the GRODAT data file. To complete the correction, the record
for SK equal to 1008 in the GROSAM reference file was modified to show that the
parameter ID is unknown. These corrections also made the SK values of 1006,
1007, and 1009 available for reassignment in file GROSAM.
Three records also existed in the GRODAT file with WK equal 46 and SK
equal to 100. However, the GROSAM reference file indicated that an SK of 100
corresponds to a WK of 5. Therefore the record with WK equal to 46 and SK
equal to 100 in the GRODAT data file was changed so that SK was equal to 1006.
The GROSAM reference file record with a SK value of 1006 was modified to
correspond to a WK of 46 and a parameter ID of UNK-1 (unknown).
The GRODAT data file also included one record with WK equal to 46 and SK
equal to 1222, which initially did not exist in the GROSAM reference file.
Since the GROSAM reference file record with an SK of 1222 had previously been
assigned so that its WK was equal 11, the record with SK. equal to 1007 was
modified so that its WK was equal to 46 and the parameter ID was set to UNK-2(unknown). To complete this error correction, the GRODAT data file records
with SK values of 1222 and WK values of 46 in the GRODAT data file were
modified so that SK is equal to 1007.
Three records existed in the GRODAT data file which had SK values equal to
0. Two of the records had WK values equal to 43 and one had a WK value equal
to 49. It was determined that these records were corrected records with
correct values appearing in other records in the database. Therefore, these
records were deleted for GRODAT.
The GRODAT data file was then sorted by WK, SK and S2 (sample date)
fields. Records with an SK greater than 1222 were copied into a separate
database file and then deleted from the GRODAT data file. Because the sample
parameter could not be identified for those GRODAT records with SK values
greater than 1222 it was concluded that they could not be used by the EC.OTRAC
program or in our analyses,. Those records were saved In a separate file,
however, to facilitate re-inserting them in the database if they are identified
at a later date.
The above described corrections resulted in the deletion of 234 records
(1.42 percent) from the GRODAT data file leaving a total of 16,.270 records. It
is likely that the errors occurred during creation of the database. According
to personnel from the company which markets ECO1TRAC many of the rnoted errorscould only occur if dBASE III.were used to develop the GROSAM reference file,They also indicated that this is a common practice since .sevetral weltl-s often
require the same parameter list. In this case, 'It is often muth faster to addonly the first well along with its parameters using ECOTTRAC-. With dBASE InI,
it is then a simple matter to reproduce the records #Ot1 the -first well andmodify only the Well Key (WK) field to correspond to the next well. If care isnot practiced, however, errors can result 1n this process, .While the errorsnoted in the rdatabase probably did not cause any sign-ificant probl-ems with
regard to use of most of the ECOTRAC software capabilities,, -certain 'routinesdid not output all of the data. contained in the database.- These errors also
complicated the preparation of graphs using the LOTUS • 12-3 software. Thecurrent version of the database maintained by WWL is functionally correct with
regard to ECOTRAC requirements and assumptions..
DATA ACCURACY
Since changes were made in the ECOTRAC reference and data files it wasnecessary to ensure that proper relationships were made by the software whenreporting. the data. :. printout of the database was made using the ECOTRAC"Well Data Report" format. Also the original laboratory sheets were prbvidedto WWL by.ECMC for the purpose of this quality assurance data check.
Because the database is quite large it was determined that a spot theck ofthe reported values be made across the database. At a minlmum at least one
reported data value was checked against the laboratory sheet. for each sample
location. Approximately 300 (approximately 2 percent of the data) values werechecked. All reported values that were checked Corresponded with the their
appropriate value on the laboratory sheets. Therefore, it was determined thatthe proper relationships were being maintained awd the reported data wat
accurate. However, during this check it was -also determined that hot all thedata available on the laboratory sheets is inliuded In the ECOTRAt database,The extent of the exclusions was not determineda as it was not the putpose of
the data check. Further, to determine the total extent of data omissions wouldbe a timely and costly enterprise., It is possible that these xl'lusions
resulted from corrections to the database as described PreviOUsly. However,
due to the lack of GROSAM records with Sk values greater than 1222 it Was not
possible to confirm this possibility.
