ANNEX PLOWING PLANNING MEETING 11 May 1978 Attendees: LTC Joseph Briggs -J3, JTG LTC Edwin Dodd -J2, Rad Con., JTG Major Maximilian Toch-J3, JTG Paul Mudra - DOE/ERSP Manager Bert Friesen - DOE/DRI Statistician Robert Boland - DOE/ERSP Tech Advisor Dale Denham - DOE/ERSP Tech Advisor 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. — B-9-11
