(IEM) was contracted by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to provide radiological support under Contract No. W912DR-D-0022, “Multiple Award Radiological Services (MARS).” Delivery Order No. 0002 of that contract includes the acquisition of information sufficient to fill data gaps at two commercial properties in the vicinity of the Colonie FUSRAP site and confirm that the radiological status of those properties meets agreed-upon clean up criteria. This work plan, prepared in response to the scope of work for the Delivery Order, includes historical background, the objectives of the project, the project organization, a description of the planned field activities and additional supporting information (i.e., instrumentation, sample handing/analysis, waste management, quality assurance, site health and safety and reporting). 1.2 Facility Description The Colonie FUSRAP Site, hereinafter referred to as “the Colonie Site” or “the Site,” is located in the town of Colonie at 1130 Central Avenue, Albany New York. It consists of 11.2 acres surrounded by residential and commercial properties known as vicinity properties (VPs). A map showing the location of the Site and the two commercial VPs is presented in Figure 11.1. Figure 11.2 is an aerial photograph of the general area which shows the current physical conditions in the vicinity of the Site. 1.3 Facility History Industrial operations at the Site began in 1923 when a facility was built for manufacturing wood products and toys. In 1937, National Lead (NL) purchased the facility for conducting electroplating operations. In 1958, the nuclear division of NL began producing items manufactured from uranium and thorium under a license issued by the Atomic Energy Commission

Day I I 2 I I I I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Located in Morris County, New Jersey about 25 miles west of New York City's Time Square, the I U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's (Service) Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (GSNWR) encompasses approximately 7,500 acres ::,fwhich 3,660 acres are designated and managed as a National Wilderness Area. The GSNWR's wetlands provide important ecological functions, I including floodwater attenuation, groundwater recharge, pollution abatement, wildlife habitat, as well as recreational benefits for the public. In many portions of the Great Swamp watershed, significant areas of native soils have been disturbed by development to the extent that the I original soil profiles no longer exist. Development-related activities such as grading, infilling, and compaction have adversely altered the native soil's infiltration capacity and runoff potential I and thereby have increased storm-water 11ediment loading into many of the watershed's streams. The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a 10-year follow-up to a 1988 investigation (USFWS 1991) characterizing ambient concentrations of metals, organochlorines, and polycyclic I aromatic hydrocarbons (P AHs) in GSNWR sediments, and metals and organochlorine in fish inhabiting the GSNWR.

The author uses Danbury Pharmacal's experience to give an overview ofvarious issues, such as acceptance by senior management and chemists, political confrontation, validation and product throughput. Introduction The pharmaceutical industry, both generic (multi- source), as well as PMA ('Brand') firms have a primary obligation to provide to the user (patient) finished dosage forms which meet all mandated standards for identity, purity, strength, and quality. A key difference between a generic pharmaceutical or multisource company and a major PMA firm are the larger number and greater variety of products manufactured by the generic firm.

  • Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual Is to Document Methodology and to Serve As a Reference for the Laboratory Analyst
    United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual Soil Survey Investigations Report No. 42 Version 4.0 November 2004 SOIL SURVEY LABORATORY METHODS MANUAL Rebecca Burt, Editor Soil Survey Investigations Report No. 42 Version 4.0 November 2004 Cover Photo:The cover illustrates the continuum of data collected or produced for the soil survey of a geographic area. The soil survey map, landscape, and pedon are from northern Iredell County, North Carolina and are representative of the Banister pedon. This series is classified as a fine, mixed, active, mesic Aquic Hapludalf. This soil is a very deep, moderately to somewhat poorly drained soil on stream terrace positions in the Piedmont physiographic province of Virginia and North Carolina. Laboratory data sheet illustrates particle-size data produced by the Soil Survey Laboratory. The photomicrograph of soil fabric features a slightly altered, exfoliated biotite grain under cross-polarized light. Bar scale in photo is 0.25 mm. (Photo credit of Banister landscape and pedon: John Kelly and Michael A. Wilson, NRCS, Raleigh, NC and NRCS, Lincoln, NE.) FOREWORD Laboratory data are critical to the understanding of the properties and genesis of a single pedon, as well as to the understanding of fundamental soil relationships based on many observations of a large number of soils. Development of both an analytical database and the soil relationships based on those data are the cumulative effort of generations of soil scientists at the Soil Survey Laboratory (SSL). The purpose of the Soil Survey Investigations Report (SSIR) No., Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual is to document methodology and to serve as a reference for the laboratory analyst.

  • Review of Particle Size Distribution Analysis Methods
    REVIEW OF PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS METHODS JORGE GUEVARA ADVISOR: L.R. ELLIS University of Florida Gainesville, FL INTRODUCTION Particle size distribution analysis (PSDA) is a measurement of the size distribution of individual soil/sediment particles, sand, silt and clay, which can be used to understand soil genesis, to classify soil or to define texture (Soil Survey Staff, 1993). The USDA classification of soil texture is based on the proportion of sand 2.0-0.05 mm, silt 0.05-0.002 mm and clay < 0.002 mm particles (Table 1). Geologists and sedimentologists have been on the forefront of analyzing marine and submerged sediments. Demas was one of the first to take a soil science approach to study the sediments of shallow coastal systems (Demas et al, 1996). A soil science approach to sediments would necessitate the classification of these subaqueous soils into a unified taxonomic system with the Natural Resource Conservation Service’s (NRCS) terrestrial soil taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 1999). Thomas Reinsch of the NRCS’ National Soil Survey Center explained that PSDA data will be collected for subaqueous soils in regards to existing policies and methods with the terrestrial soils (personal communication with Dr. Thomas Reinsch). PSDA is a major criterion used to describe these soils and their characteristics. PSDA of subaqueous soils will be consistent with the terrestrial standards of the established NRCS methods. The current procedure accepted by the NRCS for PSDA is the pipette method (Gee and Bauder, 1986). The USDA uses this method because it is reproducible on many different types of soils (Soil Survey Staff, 1999).
