Indeed, there are many such nuclear sites, particularly in the West.
The main dump for Los Alamos, TA-54, which has been in service 35-45 years, is 900 feet above the aquifer that serves Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and 2 miles from the Rio Grande. One of the dozens of disposal areas it contains includes a dump, MDA-C (it is it Area G?) that consists of 4 200 foot shafts, putting their large inventory of toxic and highly nuclear waste only 700 feet above NM’s drinking water table.

Figure 8 shows at lower right the four negative pressure tents covering the shafts, which were visible from my backyard in White Rock.
