Abstract
Chem-Nuclear Geotech, Inc. (Geotech), conducted surface geophysical surveys as part of the Mixed-<br>Waste Landfill Integrated Demonstration (MWLID) for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of<br>Technology Development . The survey objective was to demonstrate that an integrated program of<br>surface geophysics could effectively and nonintrusively characterize mixed-waste landfill sites. To<br>accomplish this objective, integrated field demonstrations were conducted over two areas (designated<br>Areas A and B) within the MWLID test site at the Chemical Waste Landfill, Technical Area 3, at the<br>Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pit locations were known in Area A and<br>suspected in Area B. Preliminary displays and analyses of the data from the field demonstrations<br>completed in 1992 will be presented in this paper.
