The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) performs research to support all aspects of the electric power industry, from generation to transmission to environment. EPRI environmental research related to groundwater over the past 30 years has included basic research to better characterize and understand inorganic groundwater chemistry at coal combustion residual sites, organic groundwater chemistry at MGP sites, and radionuclides in groundwater at nuclear facilities. Applied research has focused on topics such as groundwater data analysis methods, corrective action, and tools such as groundwater modeling and data management software. This presentation will summarize EPRI’s groundwater research programs, including groundwater assessment and corrective action at coal combustion residual sites, former manufactured gas plant sites, decommissioned fossil power plant sites, and active and decommissioned nuclear power plant sites, as well as establishment of the EPRI Groundwater Resource Center.
