Welcome!

The Hanford Groundwater Monitoring Project, managed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, provides integrated site-specific and site-wide assessments of groundwater quality on the Hanford Site through groundwater sampling and analysis and computer modeling. In addition, limited vadose zone monitoring at selected priority sites is conducted to determine if vadose zone contamination is migrating to groundwater. The Hanford seismic monitoring network is also operated to quantify the location and nature of seismic events in the Hanford region.
