In this July 2013, photo United States Geological Survey scientist Roy Bartholomay, standing, and Flint Hall, with Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, collect a water sample from the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer at a U.S. Department of Energy nuclear site in eastern Idaho. Scientists said the giant aquifer below an eastern Idaho federal nuclear facility is as free of radioactive contamination and other pollutants as it has been in more than six decades of monitoring but that the water level is at the lowest level ever recorded.
