Hanford Database Integration
DOE's Groundwater Remediation Project has access to sitewide essential services
that develop, maintain, and operate Hanford's environmental databases. These
databases are used to capture monitoring data, waste site data, well information,
sample tracking, and geographic information. The Groundwater Remediation
Project also has project specific databases (e.g., those associated with
remedial projects such as the pump-and-treat systems and in-situ redox manipulation).
The databases are integrated so they provide staff ready access to information
from across the Hanford Site. The Virtual Library provides web access to
the most frequently used information in these databases. The table below
describes the databases that are available to the Groundwater Remediation
Project.
| Database Integration |
Description |
| Virtual Library (VL) |
The library makes available the information needed to estimate contamination migration and
impact across the Hanford Site. This library is now available to DOE/RL personnel, site
contractors/subcontractors, regulators, and others who have access to HLAN, BLAN or P_LAN. |
| Hanford Features, Events, and Processes (FEP) |
This database documents the initial screening of the international suite of FEPs for relevance
to the Hanford Site. It is one of the tools used to promote consistency, completeness, and
defensibility in conceptual models. |
| Issues Management (Issues) |
The issue management process provides a controlled and documented
method to formally track and resolve non-technical and technical
issues addressed to the Groundwater Remediation Project from regulators,
stakeholders, tribal nations, and the public. |
| Sample and Data Management (SDM) |
This system supports the planning, collection and analysis of environmental samples. |
| Sample Data Tracking (SDT) |
This system is used to prepare forms and container labels and tracks
sample progress. |
| Hanford Environmental Information System (HEIS) |
This is a consolidated set of electronic systems that manage data collected during
environmental monitoring. |
| Hanford Well Information System (HWIS) |
This is a database that documents information about wells at the Hanford Site. |
| Waste Information Data System (WIDS) |
This is a computerized system that provides source information about waste sites at the
Hanford Site. The system is used to track site investigation, remediation, and closure
activities under the Tri-Party Agreement. |
| Hanford Geographic Information System (HGIS) |
This system is organized to manage, update, analyze, and display spatial related data at
the Hanford Site. It contains detailed maps and site features, such as buildings, roads,
piping, topography, geology, wells, and rivers. |
| Project Specific Databases (PSDB) |
This system is made up of two databases that provide quick and easy
methods to obtain operational data about pump-and-treat systems
and in-situ redox manipulation. |
Additionally, EnviroDataAccess has generated groundwater
chemical data summary tables using the data from HEIS for the Hanford Site and has organized the data
by subsites (e.g., operable unit designations, RCRA TSDs).
