Series Description: This record series summarizes the proceedings of the Waste Effluents Committee meetings held at the end of 1962. Topics include the control of radioactivity in the liquid waste disposal system and disposal facility options for 4500 complex wastes and wastes in the Melton Hill area. A pending concern was the relative priority of industrial versus radioactive waste. Appended tables and graphs provide statistics on the discharge of radioactivity, including cesium-137, to and from the White Oak water system; sources of radioactivity in White Oak Creek; the strontium-90 level in White Oak Lake; and elevation information for White Oak Creek when the Melton Hill Dam was operating.
