Pathways
Pathways
Pathways, by definition, are geologic features representing fluid-storage and/or channelways for the passage of fluids in the subsurface of the site. The fluids may be perched water, ground water, contaminated water, or single or multi-phase liquid chemical compounds. Move of such fluids generally follows the conditions of gravity and hydrostatic (fluid) head, within the geologic units making up the site hose earth media (soil, rock and weak rock). Pathways and fluid-storage bodies (including a variety of cavities and earth material bodies of open (porous) nature, or various forms of continuous (generally considered to be more than 10 m in length along opposing fracture surfaces or networked sets of repetitive discontinuities such as joints, shear planes, and en-echelon faults. Pathways may bring into play, the hydrostatic forces of subsurface fluids, as well as to influence contaminant transport.
