Dear Lawrence:

The following is an extract from a Georef search from some years ago (yes, I
keep them!). Perhaps this might narrow the search.  There is a lat/long at
the end of the citation.  The document is available through NTIS.

Best,

  ABSTRACT: This baseline risk assessment evaluates potential impacts to 
            public health and the environment resulting from ground water 
            contamination from past activities at the former uranium 
            processing site in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The US Department 
            of Energy Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project 
            has placed contaminated material from this site in an on-site 
            disposal cell. Currently, the UMTRA Project is evaluating ground

            water contamination. This risk assessment is the first document 
            specific to this site for the UMTRA Ground Water Project. 
            Currently, no domestic or drinking water well tap into 
            contaminated ground water of the two distinct ground water 
            units: the unconsolidated materials and the bedrock. Because 
            there is no access, no current health or environmental risks are

            associated with the direct use of the contaminated ground water.

            However, humans and ecological organisms could be exposed to 
            contaminated ground water if a domestic well were to be 
            installed in the unconsolidated materials in that part of the 
            site being considered for public use (Area C). The first step is

            evaluating ground water data collected from monitor wells at the

            site. For the Canonsburg site, this evaluation showed the 
            contaminants in ground water exceeding background in the 
            unconsolidated materials in Area C are ammonia, boron, calcium, 
            manganese, molybdenum, potassium, strontium, and uranium.

Looking for the location (plot location) in Canonsburg, PA where the old
Vitro U site had been located and where the U tailings were stabilized.
