Mathematical simulation of contaminant distribution in and around the uranium mill tailing piles, Riverton, Wyoming

Description: As part of the Research and Development phase of the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) program, the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) has set itself the goal of explaining the physico-chemical evolution of the Riverton site on the basis of the already collected field data at the site (Tokunaga and Narasimhan, 1982, Smith and Moed, 1982; White et al., 1984). The predictive aspects as well as addressing the question of critical quantity of field data have to be considered during the … more

UMTRA Project Water Sampling and Analysis Plan, Riverton, Wyoming

Description: Surface remediation was completed at the former uranium mill site in Riverton, Wyoming, in 1990. Residual radioactive materials (contaminated soil and debris) were removed and disposed of at Union Carbide Corporation`s (Umetco) nearby Gas Hills Title 2 facility. Ground water in the surficial and semiconfined aquifers (known collectively as the `uppermost aquifer`) below the former mill and tailings site has been contaminated. No contamination has been detected in the deeper, confined sandstone … more

Mineral Resources of the Honeycomb Buttes Wilderness Study Area, Fremont and Sweetwater Counties, Wyoming

Description: From summary: This report includes field investigations to evaluate the mineral resource potential of the Honeycomb Buttes were conducted during the summer of 1984. Geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, stratigraphic and sedimentological studies, and surveys of prospects delineated areas of very low grade placer gold deposits in terrace gravels and low and moderate resource potential for additional similar undiscovered placer gold deposits, low and moderate resource poten… more

A Study of Uranium Deposits in the Copper Mountain Area: Fremont and Hot Springs Counties, Wyoming

Description: Report documenting a study of the Copper Mountain area to "evaluate the potential uranium production to determine, if possible, the origin and conditions of deposition of the uranium; and suggest possible guides to prospecting in this and geologically similar areas. All known radioactive deposits were examined and samples were collected for special studies and for assay of uranium content" (p. 5).
