Addendum for Phase I Hydrologic Data for the Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport Model of Corrective Action Unit 97: Yucca Flat/Climax Mine, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada. Formation Access Interval and Hydrograph Report.
Data analysis is the process of compiling, assessing, and interpreting available data in preparation for CAU groundwater flow modeling. The data needed for CAU modeling include a wide variety of types, from a wide variety of sources, and represent a wide variety of measurements and scales of measurement. The process of analyzing the data can be summarized in the following seven steps: (1) compilation of existing data for the Yucca Flat/Climax Mine Data Compilation Area, (2) transfer of applicable data from outside the Yucca Flat/Climax Mine CAU, (3) assignment of data quality indicators, (4) assessment of data representativeness and appropriateness for use in CAU modeling, (5) data reduction and analysis, (6) graphical and tabular presentation of results, and (7) discussion of data limitations and the possible impacts to the model. This document presents data analysis and results used to support the development of a CAU-scale groundwater flow model.
