EM Nevada Program Hosts Groundwater Information Exchange

LAS VEGAS – The EM Nevada Program held its sixth groundwater technical information exchange recently, providing a peer-to-peer forum for EM and its contractors to share research, results, and other expertise related to groundwater at or near the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The NNSS contractors participating in the information exchange included Navarro Research and Engineering, Mission Support and Test Services, the Desert Research Institute, the United States Geological Survey, and DOE’s Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos national laboratories. Two members of the Nevada Site Specific Advisory Board (NSSAB), which provides recommendations to the EM Nevada Program, also attended the meeting. Posters and graphic demonstrations presented topics such as groundwater flow, data collection, and comparison of water sampling methods. More information on the NNSS groundwater program will be available to the public at EM’s Groundwater Open House in Beatty, Nevada on Oct. 17.
