To develop preliminary plans for testing the effectiveness of soil plowing on surface and
subsurface contamination.
It is desirable to
contamination only.

ascertain the effects of plowing soil known to have surface

It is desirable to ascertain what the effects are of plowing when quantities of
contamination are known to exist in the subsurface.
Tests should by performed in areas whose concentration levels most closely simulate
areas expected to be considered for plowing.
It is desirable to perform tests on islands which are potentials for plowing so that test
efforts can result in the most beneficial use of resources in bottom line considerations.
Consider islands of Sally and Janetfirst.

Proposed Test Area(s) Characteristics:
Minimum areal extent:

60 meters wide
110 meters long
IMP Stations:

8 ea. on 25 meter grid (full boom height).

21 ea. on 12.5 meter grid (1/2 boom height).
Surface Soil Sample Stations:

8 surface soil samples (composites A, B, C and D) to be taken at 25 meter IMP Stations.
Subsurface Soil Sample Stations:
8 subsurface backhoe sidewall sample stations with samples taken at 10 em (3 em
samples) increments down to 100 em.
Special Data Collection:

Other data such as soil pH, percent humus, etc., may need to be collected based on
recommendations made by experts.
