The Bureau has estimated permeability in unsaturated media by monitoring atmospheric pumping as a result of barometric pressure fluctuations and performed pneumatic pressure tests as part of a research program conducted at the Maricopa Environmental Monitoring site to evaluate unsaturated zone monitoring techniques and strategies. This study was funded by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
