Transport and Dispersion of Contaminants in a <br />Shallow Ground Water Aquifer <br /> <br />Salt leaks from disposal ponds at the Rocky Mountain <br />Arsenal have migrated through the shallow aquifer towards the <br />South Platte River. Contamination of ground water is a serious <br />problem that cannot be quickly remedied. The objective of this <br />research program is the development and verification of a general <br />numerical technique that can provide quantitative predictions of <br />movement of contaminants in an aquifer. <br /> <br />5. Hydro1oqy of the Rocky Flats Plant Site Investiqation <br /> <br />The Rocky Flats Plant, which is operated for the Atomic <br />Energy Commission, is a key producer of plutonium; and, according <br />to the Atomic Energy Con~ission, it is an essential facility in <br />the national security program. This investigation is designed <br />to describe the hydrologic regime of the Rocky Flats area for <br />various frequencies and detail the rate.and direction of surface <br />and ground water movement at the plant site. <br /> <br />6. Hydro1oqy of the Mountain Area of Jefferson County <br />Study <br /> <br />The mountains immediately west of Denver are rapidly <br />gaining in population. Most of the development is residential and <br />most residents require an independent water supply and sanitary <br />facilities. Geologic controls in the area suggest that serious <br />problems may develop--particular1y water shortages and unsuitable <br />drinking water resulting from waste disposal. County planners and <br />developers in the area need geologic and hydrologic information <br />for planning, and this study will provide much of the information <br />required. . , <br /> <br />7. Hydroloqy and Related Recreational Aspects of Streams <br />in Colorado <br /> <br />Expanded recreational needs must be balanced against <br />other growing demands for water, such as public and industrial <br />supplies. In order to make intelligent decisions regarding the <br />use and management of the water resources for recreation and other <br />uses, an analysis of the hydrologic and other factors related to <br />recreational values is essential. This investigation will assemble <br />and evaluate information essential to these decisions. <br /> <br />15 <br />
