A. Background

Project Gaabugw was the first joint Goveroment-industry experiment

in the United States that utiliaed a mclear explosive to rtklate

a low productivity natural 1.8 rerervoir. The projaot inc1ud.d the

detonation of a 29-kiloton uuclear drvice on D e c d e r 10, 1967, it a

depth of 4,240 feet in the 8811 Juen basin of nortWrtern W * r

Mexico, approximately 75 rile. east of iarrinlton (liwr* 1). Upon

completion of the long-term production testiw and prenrurc

monitoring actiritier in late 19'16, it uaa determined that thare war

no longer a progr-tic w e d to uintaia the Project k s b u m aite.

The aite restoration plannin~ phase besaa in early 1978 and m4 c o r

pleted in July 1978 with the isauaaca of the opmational plan for

well plugging and site restoration activities, -195. Th* field

activities were conducted over a sixreek pariod durily Auwst and

September of 1978. This report s-rises the field activities and

dercribes the final site statur, including the disposition of all

project facilities and final surface and subrurface configurations.

B. Authority

Apprwal from Headquarters, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), to

proceed vith the Gasbuggy site restoration project was received in a

nesaage dated June 12, 1978, from Hugh D. Guthrie, Acting Director,

Division of Oil, Gas and Shale Technology, to 8. W. Taft, Assistant

Kanager for Plans, Engineering and Budgets, W E , Nevada Operations

Office (Enr).

The responsibi l i ty of DOE t o conduct the res torat ion work i s c i t ed

i n the following applicable doclments:

1, Contract AT(04-31-711, dated January 31, 1967, signed by the

AEC (now a p.rt of DOE), Department of the In t e r io r , and the E l

Paso h t u r a l h a Co. (BPWG).

2. Hemrandm of Understanding, dated March 23, 1967, between the

h p a r t w n t of ~ r i c u l t u r e ' s U.8. Foreot Service IU8FS) md the

AEC.

C. Reatoration Objectives

Thc general objectives of &ha ramtoration were to plug and abandon

a11 project re la ted bore holer , r-a rurface f a c i l i t i e s , perfom

r a d i o l o g i c ~ l decontamination a s required, re turn EPIK: u t e r i a l r and

the Hevada Test S i t e (HTS) for disposal , diapoae of l iquid

radiologic m e t e by inject ing in to the nuclear cavity, r-e

exis t ing fences, and rereed areas disturbed by the res torat ion

ac t i v i t i e s .

11. IAITIAL SITB STATUS

A. Lands

The project i n s t a l l a t i ons (Figure 2 ) consist ing of the ground zero

(GZ) area, the recording t r a i l e r park (KTP), the control point (CP),

and the helicopter pad were located on lands within the Carson

National Forest. The use of these lands for the Gasbuggy Project

was established i n the previously c i t ed Hemrandun of Understanding

between the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. ~ t m i c Energy

Cmmission. Additionally, by land withdrawal action of Public Land

Page 7: pne G90 Gasbuggy
Page 8: pne G90 Gasbuggy

Order 4232, dated June 22, 1967, the Bureau of Land Management

withdrew from a11 forme of appropriation, including mining and

mineral leasing laws, and reserved for the use of the Atoaic Energy

Cairaion the surface and subsurface of lands within Section 36,

T291, WW, lleu Mexico Principal Meridian. Surface and aubaurface

operating rights to lands within the 8W 1/4 of the described section

vtre reserved for the use of the a 6 C under stipulations of

Contract AT(04-3)-711. Access to the project site vas by a road

traversing the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. Upgrading and

extending this roadway was accapliahed by the Hew Mexico State

Bighvay Departmot through EPlPG under stipulations in Contract

A T - 3 - 7 1 Thia road van prwided for Project Gaabuggy use, but

tha project did not acquire control or responsibility for its -in-

tanance.

B Surface Facilities

All facilitier aasociatcd with the former control point, recording

trailer park, and helicopter pad locations had previously been

rewved; the areas had been graded, shaped, and reseeded; and

exintifig surface conditions at theae locations were considered to

satisfy restoration criteria. The areas where work was perforaed

during this site restoration included the fenced area which encm-

pasred Wells GB-1, -2B, -3, -En, and 10-36 (see Figure 31, and any

area which would be disturbed during the plugging of Well GB-D. The

major facilities comprising the fenced area were as follows:

1. GB-EB Production Testing System: Consists of two separators

with insulating enclosures, manifold systems, skid-mounted

metering runs, flow control equipment, 4 l/2-inch-diameter

flare line, flare stack, 100-barrel water tank ("Red Tank"),

&-foot by &-foot pump shed, steam-apray system in an 8-foot by

10-foot aetal shed, plus connecting water and gas Lines with

associated valves.

E. Radiological M i t i o n 6

The extent and leve ls of rurface contamination a t the Garbuggy s i t e

had been documented by s o i l and water sampling proBrus and a i t e

surveys by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), BPIIG, and WE.

Analyses from these surveys indicated tha t there was no radiological

contamination of s o i l or surface waters which exceeded the following

I V . SITE ESSmTION ACTIVITIES

A. Mobilization

Field a c t i v i t i e s s t a r t ed during the week of August 13, 1978, with

the a r r i v a l of the F&S, E I C , and DOE personnel a t the Gasbuggy s i t e .

h d i o l o g i c a l support and o f f i ce t r a i l e r s were se t i n place and

connected t o a 50-kW natura l gas-powered generator provided by EPWG.

Mobile phone services were ins ta l led and a 400-barrel water supply

tank was se t and appropriate connections made. The portable w e l l

servicing uni t and crew arr ived on August 18, 1978, t o subatant ia l ly

complete the mobilization phase.

B. Decontamination System

The f i r s t major a c t i v i t y was t o provide the capabi l i ty for radio-

logical ly decontaminating various materials and equipment con-

ponents. This was accomplished by refurbishing an ex is t ing steam

generator and fabricating a 35-foot-long by 12-footr ide a t ee l dr ip

pan with a 400-gallon sump at one end. The decontamination pan was

instal led on a graded 3' slope adjacent t o the s t e m generator. A

controlled area was established around the dr ip pan by encapassing

it with yellow rope attached t o r t e e l posts and posting appropriate

radiation warning signs.

C. Surface Fac i l i t i e s Decontamination

Itau of material and equipeant were radiologically surveyed in place;

vhm they r t the release c r i t e r i a , they ware appropriately marked

and placed i n m e of the clean holding area.. I f they did not wet

the release c r i t e r i a , they were w e d t o the decontamination area,

and a f t e r a reasonable d e c o n t d l u t i o a e f fo r t , another ruwey n a

coaducted. Pending the result8 of t h i r aecond survey, the it=(*)

of s a t e r i a l and/or equiprent were urved t o the appropriate clean o r

contaminated holding area for e i ther release for unrestricted u s e o r

for disposal as contaminated waste. Within the holding area, item

were segregated as t o ovnership, i.e., WE or EPNG. A segment of

the area was established for the storage of barrels containing sol id

contaminated material slated for shiplout t o BTS for burial as lor

level radioactive vaste.

A log of a l l ataterial released end stored in t h i s area was main-

tained. A t o t a l of 425 items ranging from borea of nut6 and bol ts

t o gad l iqu id separators were checked, found t o be below the release

c r i t e r i a , and were releaaed for unrestricted use.

Items of equipment having inaccessible in te r iors were flushed with

steam u n t i l the exi t ing flush water and accessible area swipes of

the item were below release l imits. As an additional check, water

was poured through various tubular goods and the exit ing water

sample was analyzed for tritium. None of these samples approached

Page 15: pne G90 Gasbuggy

the 5,000 dpa/mI (2,250 pCi/~ll arbitrary limit set as a double check.

The 3,000 dpmlrl limit was not selected as a release limit criterion,

but on the basis that if the item were used as unrestricted radio-

logically, "clean" water contacting the surfacer of the item would

be unlikely to ever exceed the 10 CFR 20 or State of M e w Mexico Con-

centration Guides for water in unrestricted areas (3,000 pCi/mll.

On-rite radioactivity ~ a s u r i n g equipvnt during site cleanup

consisted of:

a. A Packard Model 2003 liquid rcintillation mpectrwter was used

for tritium analysis. Channel 1 war gated for u x i m m sensi-

tivity in the tritiua beta energy region, while channels 2 and

3 were both gated for the full raqe of beta energier. For

this system, the LID was approximately 2 pCi/ml for tritium at

3 v above background.

b. Portable survey equipment included 'aennitive g- detectors

(EIC PW-5 with SPA-2 1x1 8.1 probe), general beta g- detec-

tors (EIC K-520 with 8P-177 (;n probe), thin window beta detector8 2

7 mg/cm (EZC HS-2 and PBn 5-3 with 8P-210 probes) and gas 2 proportional alpha detectors (EIC PAC-46 with 50 cm AC-21 probe).

The thin vindov beta probe (EP-210) has a sensitivity of 1,800

cp/mrad/hr.

All personnel participating in Gasbuggy cleanup w r e required to

wear thermoluminescent dosimeter ITLD) badges and to provide base-

line and final day urine aanples. The exceptions to this were persons

vho would be on eite less than three days, such as casual visitors

and delivery people. TLDs vere sent to the EIC facility in Santa

Fe, New Mexico, for readout. No radiation exposure vae detected

above normal background on the TLDs. The urine slunples were analyzed

on site. None exceeded the lower limit of detectability (LLD).

D. Well Plugging and Abandonment

Subsurface w r k , accomplished concurrent ly with su r face e f f o r t s ,

s t a r t e d on h g u r t 18, 1978, with t h e plugging and abandorment of

GB-ZRS. D e t a i l s of the plugging operat ion a r e contained i n

Appendix C, and t h e f i n a l s t a t u s am plugged an$ abandoned i e s h o w

of casing was inmts l led i n the top plug fo r a ho le r s r k e r extending

4 f e e t above ground l eve l .

Plugging and abandorment of GB-3 was undertaken next . The procedure

war s i m i l a r t o t h a t used i n GB-2BS by u t i l i z i n g t h e 2 318-inch gar-

production tubing. The plugging d e t a i l s a r e described i n Appendix C ,

and the f i n a l s t a t u s i r shown i n F igure 5. ApproximRtely 550 cubic

casing. A 12-foot by 4-inch 0.0. length of casing, extending 4 f e e t

above ground l e v e l , was placed i n t h e top plug t o provide a ho le

marker.

The next well t o b e plugged was GB-1. It had been plugged previous ly

from a t o t a l depth of 4,306 f e e t to approximately 2,800 f e e t . The

2 3/8-inch tubing s t r i n g extending t o 4,254 f e e t had been cemented

i n place. (Refer t o NVO-195, Figure 4.) This tubing was cut o f f a t

Governwnt-owned mterials were loaded on two trucks and shipped to

the WTS. Included were: wellhead caaponents froa a-1, 68-2, and

GB-ER; 225 joints of 2 318-inch tubing; a s t e m generator; and

miscellaneous pipe, hose, fittings, etc. Theae trucks also returned

governaent equipllsent used by Xberline and F6S personnel during

decmissiming-decoatuination activities (see inventory list,

Appendix F). On September 12, 1978, approximately 95 percent of the

KFUG owned equipwnt was returned on four flatbed and several pickup

trucks to various EPHG warehouses and storage yards in the Farmington,

Hew Mexico, area.

Miscellaneous concrete pada were broken up and placed in the old

deepened decontsminatioa pit prior to backfilling and reshaping to a

more natural terrain.

P. Solid and Liquid Waste

Liquid waste uterialn consia ted primarily of radiologically con-

taminated sludge and liquids from the decontamination operations.

Solid waste consisted primarily of item that vere impractical to

decontaminate. Included was the HcCullough wire line used in the

G3-ES hole. It could not be easily decontaminated due to its braided

construction. Approxiutely 5,000 feet of McCullough 3116-inch

braided wire line vere placed in a drum and shipped to the IPTS. Also,

approximately 20,000 feet of old El Paso single-strand vire Line were

shipped to the IVTS for disposal.

Approximately 60.5 barrels of tritium contaminated water and aludge

with an average concentration of 1,439 p C i l m 1 and 7.3 barrels of

tritium-contaminated water and sludge with an average concentration

of 350 pCi/ml were pumped f r m the "Red Tank" and decon sump, respec-

tively, and injected into the GB-ER cavity before the reentry well

wan plugged. The tubing and annulus vere then flunhed with three

annulus volumes {approximately 350 Bbls.) of H20. The total tritim

content of the injected fluid was 18.7 mCi.

Page 24: pne G90 Gasbuggy

The water did not contain other radioactive isotopes above detection

limits except naturally occurring radioactive elements.

One hundred seventy-five barrels of low-level tritium contminated

water from the ateam decontaoination operation accumulated in the

"Red Tank" after the GB-ER wellbore was sealed. The water vas

subeequently disposed of by vaporisation to the atmosphere usin& the

stem generator. The tritium level in this water ranged f r a 14.7

pCi/ml to 43.7 pCi/ml, and a total of 1.31. di was released to the

mt~sphere over a period of 25 days in September 1978. Durisq tbe

water vaporization and steam decontamination activities, air

moisture ampler were collected by molecular sieve units around the

site. All of the wiature samples collected were less than the

lwer limit of detection (ILD)* for tritium air moisture.

A total of 10 barrels of materials, either known to be slightly

radioactive or difficult to u k e a determination of radioactive

content, were sealed, externally stem cleaned, and labeled for

shipment as lorlevel radioactive vaste. Dry materials were

barreled intact and a11 fluids were mixed with diatomaceous earth

and cement before packaging. .Nuclides other than tritium and

naturally occurring isotopes were not found to be present. The

total tritium content of a11 I 0 barrels was less than 1 mCi.

One sample of mud from the GB-3 abando-nt operations initially

indicated 6 pCi/ml of tritium. The activity was suspected to be the

result of natural thorium daughters from drilling mud chemicals;

however, a second analysis by distillation showed LLD for tritium.

iLLD was 2pCi/M1 at 30 counting error for tritium.

Page 25: pne G90 Gasbuggy

The d contained a large amount of paraffin (a 4-inch layer in the

mud tank). The entire mix of water, mud, and paraffin was buried on

site.

uo burial of radioactive uterial war made at tbe Garbuggy site during

the cleanup operation.

Bubbirh (uncontnimted) war hauled to a dump in Farminpton, H e w

Ucxico. Septic tanks that had been installad for the Gasbuuy project

were backfilled and left in place.

G. Land Surface Rertoration

Reshaping disturbed areal was accaplirhed during the last few days

of the project. The peri-ter fence was removed, and pit6 excavated

for s d l saspling and other activities were backfilled. fie ground

surface war graded to lore natural contours. The area was reseeded

with a grass mixture that had been developed by the 11.S. Forert

Service. It consisted of the following:

Crested Wheatgrars 4 lbs/acre

Pubescent Uheatgrars 6 lbs/acre

Iadak A1 fa1 f a 1 lbfacre

Perennial Ryegrass I lblacre

Figure 9 illustrates the results of reseeding. The photograph was

taken in Hay 1983.

A permanent monument consisting of a brass plaque mounted in a

concrete base uas erected over the a - R E well site. The plaque

This weekly s-ry is based upon daily reports compiled at the end of each

workday throughout the field activities phase. The original daily reports are

available in the DOEIW Energy Applications Division files.

Weekly Period Beginning 8/13/78

W E , P&S, EIC, and drill crew personnel arrived on site. EPAG installed a

50-kW generator and electrical distribution liner. A support and office

trailer arrived and were hooked up. Boade within the site boundary were graded.

A sloping grade and trench were established for t h e decon pan and sump. Decon

pan sections vere net in place and welded together. Miscellaneous concrete

slabs were wved to the old decontamination pit area and the pit was deepened.

The flare stack, flare gaa lines, and miscellaneous piping were disaasedled.

Anchors for the workover drilliq rig were installed at all five well locations.

The steam generatortr (steanr) assembly was started. A 400-bbl. fresh water

tank was installed and water deliveries began. Started the excavation of buried

lines. Miscellaneous broken concrete padn and other debris were pushed into

the deepened decontamination pit and were backfilled with a minimum of three

feet of earth cover. Utility poles were remwed and decontamination of the

flare stack and its components was started.

Weekly Period Beginning 8/20/78

The 100-bbl. "Red Tankt' was lsoved to the decon pad and steam-cleaned. Dis-

mantling of piping, valves, etc., continued. Trenched for and removed 3/4-inch

and 2-inch waste fluid lines. EIC laboratory personnel collected samples which

vere sent to EIC, Albuquerque, New Mexico, for analyses. Samples included

flare line water, flare line oil, GB-2R water, GB-ER fluid, and Red Tank sludge.

The tri-carb unit and other laboratory equipent vere received, assembled, and

put into operation. The Red Tank was used to store condensate from steam-

cleaning operations.

Page 40: pne G90 Gasbuggy

Weekly Period Beginning 8/27/78

Steam-cleaned the Otis wireline, reek, and tools used in GB-SR. Disassembled

portions of EPIVG's heater/aeparators and wved them to the decon pan where

they were ate-cleaned. Soil samples were taken under the gas-condensate

p m p shack. The tri-carb unit was loaded for its first autcmatic run. Fluids

frcm Red Tank and decon surp were injected into GB-ER for disposal. Anti-C

clothing was worn by all personnel in GB-RE area. All itcawcleaned materials

that measured belm the LLD (Lower Limits of Detection) were marked with green

print and w e d into a release area. Backfilled tbe GB-3 cellar. Cut off the

GB-D wellhead and steam-cleaned it. Ccnpiled data f r a approxiutely 500

tritium samples.

Weekly Period Beginning 9/3/78

Established a base line for the soil impling grid and selected 246 soil

ampling locations on 25-foot and/or 50-foot grid line intervals. Started

taking soil saaples with an auger. Inrtalled piping froa the Red Tank to the

ateam generator to pernit evaporation of stored liquids. Molie sieve moisture

collectors were fabricated and rtrategically located in the evaporation area.

Steam-cleaned the EPNG aeparator/prehccttar and WE wellhead equipment from

GB-1, GB-28, and 138-3. Removed the roof f r w a 10-foot x 20-foot metering

skid. Uncovered a septic tank in the old trailer park. A general cleanup of

the area was performed with rubbish being hauled to a Farmington, New Mexico,

dump.

Weekly Period Beginning 9110178

Continued laying out the soil sampling grid and continued taking soil samples.

A backhoe was used to excavate a six-foot-deep trench for profile and sidewall

samples. The 3/16-inch braided wire line was removed frcm the McCullough truck

and placed in a decontamination drum for shipment to the NTS. Steam-cleaned

the HcCullough truck and tools. The atem cleaner was used to evaporate approxi-

mately 1,320 gallons of Bed Tank fluid. Backfilled the septic tank at the
