Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Calculation based on measured concentrations in groundwater and sediment. To estimate a soil Kd, ground water Al concentration and soil (sediment) Al concentration were used. Al groundwater concentrations vary in E-area between 0.0178 to 0.216 mg/L (EGIS; http://egis1.srs.gov/Website/sgcp_wasteunits/viewer.htm). An average Al concentration of sediments on SRS is 8,060 mg/kg for 168 samples. Dividing the soil Al concentration by the groundwater Al concentration, yields a ratio of >37,000 mL/g. To provide some level of conservatism a value 1/10, 3,700 mL/g, was used.
