Series Description: This report informs regulators, the Department of Energy, and the public of the 1992-1993 year's efforts of environmental monitoring and field investigations done in support of the Environmental Restoration Program at ORNL. After describing the ORNL site, its program objectives and organization, the report focuses on the Waste Area Grouping 2 [WAG-2] and the Site Investigations program, as well as other remedial investigations/feasibility studies for ORNL and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System [NPDES] and compliance monitoring. Data related to the monitoring of surface water, groundwater, soil/sediment, and biota are summarized, assessed to determine human health and environmental risks, and prioritized for remedial actions. Specific topics include the hydrologic system, contaminants of concern by WAG or site, and contaminants of concern by pathways. Tables indicate sample location, contaminant, media (soil, biota), and analysis results. Cesium is measured in curies (Ci), percentage of Derived Concentration Guide (%DCG), and picocuries per liter (pCi/l). Charts plotting these results, diagrams indicating sampling locations, a summary of findings, a summary of upcoming activities, and an extensive reference list are also included. The appendix consists of tables of contaminants listed by WAG and sampling site.
