Series Description: This record series consists of the RCRA Facility Investigation Plans for the following K-25 sites: K-1070-A Contaminated Burial Ground, K-1070-C/D Classified Burial Ground, K-1070-F Old Contractors' Burial Ground, and the K-1407 Waste Area Grouping [WAG], which includes the K-1407-A Neutralization Pit, K-1407-B Pond, K-1700 Stream, and K-1070-B Classified Burial Ground. The documents discuss the status of the sites and the investigations necessary to complete the studies and comply with RCRA. Data concerning the historic, operational, geographic, geologic, and hydrologic characterizations of the areas are included, as are discussions concerning investigation objectives, scheduling, evaluation criteria, risk assessment, potential corrective actions (monitoring source removal, containment, and treatment of contaminated materials), sampling strategies, analysis protocols, and health and safety procedures. Included in the appendices are lithologic logs, boring diagrams, and sample analyses results, which include lab numbers, site locations, well identifications, test parameters, results, and analyst names. Cesium, alpha, beta, and gamma activity levels are measured in disintegrations per minute per gram (dpm/g) and in picocuries per liter (pCi/l).
