Technical Basis of the Channel Theory prepared for Hanford Site Groundwater Monitoring Meeting - 29 July 1986 Norm Buske Summary or Channel Concept Since 1960, geologists have known that several old Columbia River channels cut the Ringold formation at Hanford. These channels were filled with Pasco gravels as the glaciers receded. Data from Hanford wells showed one such channel at the 200 East Area and another at the old Hanford Townsite. We propose that these are one and the same channel which forms the major groundwater feature at Hanford. This particular channel is partly filled with cobbles and boulders allowing more than "4 million gallons per day of waste water to travel from 200 East Area to the river in only 3 years and providing limited surface area for the sorption of radionuclides.
