The following tasks may be I implemented during the investigation: I Soil and rock sampling for description and geologic interpretation; Soil sampling for field screening of wood t[eating residuals and I laboratory analyses; Groundwater level monitoring; Groundwater sampling for field screening and laSoratory analyses; I Hydraulic conductivity testing; Surface water sampling and laboratory analyses; I Sediment sampling (in surface water bodies) and laboratory analyses; and I Airborne particulates sampling and laboratory analyses. I The separate Remedial Investigation Work Plan describes the overall .scope and objectives of the project, provides site-specific information relevant to each site, and describes the specific site investigation tasks to I be implemented. This FSP describes how the samples will be collected and is structured to provide a complete list of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) I for the investigation. I I I I Q:\DOCS\26433_I\MST 1 I I Section: 2 Revision: 6/5/95 I Date: 5/10/94 Page: 1 of 8 I SECTION 2 I INVESTIGATION ACTIVITIES I 2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES Investigation activities may include: collection of samples of surficial soils for laboratory analysis of soil quality; test trench I excavation; soil and rock boring installation; collection of soil samples from test trenches and borings for description, geologic interpretation, I field screening, and laboratory analysis of soil quality; geophysical surveys; piezometer installations; monitoring well installations; water level I monitoring; groundwater quality sampling and analysis; surface water and sediment sampling; hydraulic conductivity testing; end land survey for I location and elevation of site features, test trenches, soil borings, piezometers, and monitoring wells. I In order to expedite the investigation schedule and to minimize cost, the use of field screening and field analysis methods will be employed I wherever feasible. Commercially available test kits (wet chemistry, immunoassay) may be used to define contaminant levels and screen for I contaminants in both soil and groundwater. Laboratory analyses will be used for correlation and confirmation of the field screening analysis. Following I is a description of the purpose of the primary investigative techniques and rationale for their use. I 2.1.1 Soil and Rock Borinqs - Purpose and Rationale I The objectives of soil and rock borings are to: I Obtain lithologic samples for soil description and lithologic interpretation to delineate the site stratigraphy; I I Q:\DOCS\26433_I\MST Section: 2 Revision: 6/5/95 Date: 5/10/94 Page: 2 of 8 Provide geological information that will aid in the design of proposed monitoring wells; Target specific historic structures and/or waste disposal areas to locate primary sources of wood treating residuals; Obtain soil samples to be field-screened for wood treating residuals; Obtain soil samples for laboratory analysis to confirm the horizontal and vertical extent of possible subsurface contamination; and Obtain soil samples for analysis of parameters that may be used in the screening of remedial alternatives. Borings will be the investigative technique of choice whenever direct measurements of lithology or soil quality are necessary, and when indirect techniques (i.e., geophysics) are not likely to provide sufficient detail about subsurface conditions. Data from soil and rock boringswill be~ recorded on Boring Log Forms (Attachment i) or on drilling log forms provided by the drilling contractor. 2.1.2 Piezometers - Purpose and Rationale Piezometers will be installed with the following objectives: ¯ Provide water level information; ¯ Characterize and confirm groundwater flow patterns; ¯ Obtain water samples for field screening; and Q:\DOCS\26433_I\MST 2 Section: 2 Revision: 6/5/95 I Date: 5/10/94 Page: 3 of 8 I Provide for in situ permeability characterization. I Piezometer constructions will be summarized in table format and Well Construction Forms (Attachment 2) or on well construction forms provided by I the drilling contractor.

  • 2010 Summer NABC Appeals Casebook
    2010 Summer NABC Appeals Casebook Appeals at the 2010 Summer NABC New Orleans, Louisiana FOREWORD The appeal hearings and commentary descriptions are now being compiled and edited by the American Contract Bridge League. They are published on the ACBL web page. This internet publication is intended to be a tool to help improve the abilities of those serving on appeals committees and tournament directors and to communicate decisions and the process to arrive at those decisions to the membership at large. A total of thirty (20) cases were heard. Eight (8) cases were from unrestricted (by masterpoints) North American Bridge Championship Events and were heard by a committee of peers. The names of the players involved are included. Twelve (12) cases were from all other events and were heard by panels (committees) of tournament directors. The names of the players involved are included when the event from which the appeal came was a Flight A/X event or was the top bracket of a bracketed knockout event. When the names of the players are not used, the player’s masterpoint total is included. The cases are first presented without commentary. After the official panel of commentators has had an opportunity to provide their commentary (about 4 weeks) and any corrections to the cases, the commentary is added, corrections made and the internet publication is finalized. Everyone involved in this process is due praise for their efforts. Special thanks to the NABC Appeals Committee and the Tournament Directors serving on the director committees, scribes and commentators. Without their considerable contribution of time and effort, this publication would not exist.

Points refer to a total value of a hand, including shape. HCP refers only to a hand’s high-card points. A natural suited bid shows 4+ cards in its suit. A natural notrump bid shows a desire to play in notrump. A non-natural bid is called an artificial bid. A convention is a commonly used artificial bid that has been given a name. Conventions are not part of Standard American, but many are commonly or nearly-universally played. A forcing bid demands a bid from partner if the next opponent passes. A forcing bid is also known as one- round-forcing. A signoff is a bid that strongly requests a pass or correction to another suit shown by the player signing off. Partner normally may not make a bid in any suit not shown by the signing-off player. A signoff usually occurs when the captain of the auction places the final contract. An invitational bid communicates that the partnership should bid a game unless partner has very minimal strength for previous actions. A game-forcing bid means that the partnership cannot play any contract below 3NT.

On a sunny February morning in the Gold Coast, I sit down with President Rona to hear his thoughts on topics ranging from the Olympic movement and the cheating scandal through to youth bridge and the future of the game. This is not Rona’s first visit to Australia. This time, Rona has come at the invitation of the organiser of the 5th Commonwealth Nations Bridge Competition. While in Australia, he will also be continuing negotiations with Bruce Neill, President of the Australian Bridge Federation, about Australia potentially hosting a future WBF world championship. Mr Gianarrigo Rona being interviewed by Liam Milne Recently, the WBF has come under fire for various reasons. These have included accusations of being slow to investigate government support and subsidies for bridge in this region. and act against cheats, allowing Poland to contest (and win) Rona points out that aside from bridge, many other activities the 2015 Bermuda Bowl despite two of its players having still strive to be accepted by the International Olympic their invitations to play withdrawn, as well as the scoring Committee.
