This determination was developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 C.F.R. Part 300. This document was prepared as a joint effort between the U.S. Army, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The no action decision is supported by documents contained in the Information Repository. Description of the Selected Remedy No action is the selected remedy for AREEs 3, 5, 7,10, 16-2, 17, 18, 20, 24, 25, 26, 29-1, 29-2, 29-3, 30, and 33; site-wide groundwater; South Run at AREEs 1 and 2; and other site drainages. The Baseline Risk Assessment (BRA), conducted as part of the investigation activities, supports the no action decision. Declaration v DECISION SUMMARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION The no action decision is based on the Phase I Reuse Area Remedial Investigation (RI) Report (USAEC, 1998) and the Phase II Reuse Area RI Report (USACE, 1999) which include Baseline Risk Assessments (BRAs) documenting the risks from contamination in the soil at Areas Requiring Environmental Evaluation (AREEs) 3, 5, 7, 10, 16-2, 17, 18, 20, 24, 25, 26, 29-1, 29-2, 29-3, 30, and 33; site-wide groundwater; South Run at AREEs 1 and 2; and other site drainages. In the BRAs, it was determined that the soils at AREEs 3, 5, 7, 10, 16-2, 17, 18, 20, 24, 25, 26, 29-1, 29-2, 29-3, 30, and 33 do not pose unacceptable risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, the soils at these AREEs require no action to be protective of human health

  • A World War II German Army Field Cipher and How We Broke It
    i I I ' UNCLASSIFIED A World War II German Army Field Cipher and How We Broke It CHARLES DAVID In 1942 the U.S. Army Signal Corps was looking for college grad~ates to train in radar work, which was then new and promising. I enlisted, and after0 six months of pre-radar courses in calculus, physics, chemistry, and radio theory at Rutgers University, I found myself in Camp Crowder, Missouri, the Signal Corps basic training center. Once I was there, a classification sergeant informed me that Camp Murphy, the radar facility in Florida, was overcrowded and that I'd be assigned to some other training. Checking my academic record and Army Classification Test score, he suddenly asked me if I had ever heard of "cryptography." As he thumbed through his manual, my memory reverted to a cryptanalysis course that my fiancee had taken at Brooklyn College, given by Professor Jack Wolfe of the math department. She and I would sit in a sunny meadow in Prospect Park, and I helped with the frequency counts. My reverie was broken by the information that I was to be sent to Vint Hill Farms Station, near Warrenton, Virginia - close enough to my New York home and my wife-to-be to please me no end. Vint Hill was an unusual army camp - in a bucolic setting, with evergreen trees surrounding the barracks and woods all around. It was a hush-hush place, and we were constantly warned to keep it so. One of its two parts was devoted to cryptanalysis studies, and the other was a working radio facility.
