    Investigations at the Transportation Routes Between HISS and West Lake Landfill and Between SLDS and SLAPS Potential waste transportation routes were identified based on historical and recent maps. Thirty-one intersections on these routes between HISS and West Lake Landfill were selected (Figure 2-24), and a walkover gamma radiation scan was conducted at each. Only 28 of .the 31 intersections were sampled due to inaccessibility of three locations: Intersection 1 no longer exists; Intersection 14 is an overpass where Fee Road crosses 1-70; and Intersection 31 is an overpass where McDonnell Boulevard crosses 1-70. Two sampling locations were selected at each corner of each intersection (where accessible), and 212 surface soil samples were collected and analyzed for uranium-238, radium-226, thorium-232, and thorium-230. A mobile gamma scanning van with an on-board computer system was used to identify possible anomalies on public roadways and suspected haul routes used to move wastes from HISS to West Lake Landfill and from SLDS to SLAPS. Public roadways, accessible commercial parking areas surrounding SLDS, and railroad crossings were also scanned. Some intersections and roads near the airport that were previously surveyed were investigated again (ORNL 1991).
