WEBVTT

53
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
I'm going to switch gears and turn it over to your official session. Moderator.

54
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:17.000
Jeffre, who's gonna be joining us from you say, And so, Jeff, i'm gonna move the view over to you, and I will let you get things started as I call up the agenda for a session

55
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
today. Alright, thanks, Jean, Hey, This is the second of our M.

56
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:33.000
2 s 2 webinars series for this fiscal year of 22, I believe we're in, and we're going to do another another 3 sessions next year in fy 23 and we're gonna

57
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
we'll come out with the agenda for those but if you'll see the agenda up on the screen.

58
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000
We are going to start each session precisely at on time, and these are Eastern state or times.

59
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:50.000
So 1 10, we will start the first session and then a 140 the second, and a 2 20 that away.

60
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:59.000
If there's people that would just like to sit in on one particular session, and then they know exactly what time to start again, Gene.

61
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Sorry talk to you about the Q A. box so i've got about the 5 min here. so what i'm going to do is i'm gonna go ahead and introduce the instructors one by one they're gonna give you just a little bit of

62
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:17.000
a little rundown on who they are and then at precisely at 1 10, and we'll start the first session, so i'd like to introduce Mr.

63
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:24.000
Richard Perry, if you could go ahead and just chime in and give us a little tell us a little bit about yourself.

64
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:37.000
Oh, good afternoon. My name is Richard perry i'm a geophysicist with the arbor corn engineer engineering support center in Huntsville. I've been with the core for about 5 years now

65
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.000
previous to come to the core, I was a contractor supporting the Mmrp.

66
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.000
Program for about 14 years. Thanks. thanks, Mr. Perry second Presenter we'll have, is Dr.

67
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.000
Heather Macdonald. Hello, Everyone my name is heather Mcdonald and I'm.

68
00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.000
A technical manager at home School Center. I work for the core for about 4 years.

69
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:12.000
And My background is, I have an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering and graduate degrees and environmental engineering. and my research was completely different than what I work on now.

70
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.000
But that's all right, because I really like what I do so thanks, Dr.

71
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:30.000
Mcdonald and last we have is juliet hi Everybody I'm Julie Ange I am the chief of the environmental production and utilities branch at huntsville Center with the core.

72
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:44.000
I've had that role since about the beginning of this year. Prior to that I was a technical manager within the branch for about 5 years, and I started my career with about 10 years doing primarily Emissions response work

73
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.000
with the Alabama Department of Environmental management as a an environmental regulator.

74
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.000
Thanks, Julie alright, that those will be our instructors today.

75
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.000
At the end of the presentation. we got a couple of slides talking about the next slot, in fact.

76
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.000
Good. You bring up the next slide there. for me.

77
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.000
There. Thank you. There we go this will be the next webinar we have.

78
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.000
I'll be on July twentieth risk assessment and the ros for munitions response again.

79
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.000
Go to clue in just like you did for this one to register and Jean.

80
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:31.000
Then we'll make sure everybody gets the information on how to chime in on the on the presentations. So that side of come up again later on today, and i'll I've already sent out a lot of emails 2

81
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:37.000
different services, branches and offices. That, should be forwarding that out to everybody.

82
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:48.000
But keep that on your calendar again. we'll put that slide up again at the end of the our presentations today, and with that I think that's all we've got I won't get just like a couple of minutes so I think we'll go ahead

83
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.000
and get started. so again i'd like to introduce Mr.

84
00:03:51.000 --> 00:04:20.000
Richard Perry. if you want to go ahead and share your screen and bring it presentation

85
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.000
Is it coming through? Okay, it comes. it's coming through perfectly go right ahead.

86
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:32.000
Okay, So again, my name is Richard perry i'm with Geofficus, with the engineering Sports Center, Nunsville, Alabama.

87
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:44.000
I was going to talk to you all today about evolution of the conceptual site model for Boston Bomb target, and I've tried to insert pictures to just give you an idea some of the work that was conducted and what the field

88
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.000
teams dealt with. This first picture we have is from our to 2,019 filled season.

89
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.000
We were doing data collection along the transect.

90
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:07.000
So what you would expect for a shot like this when we'll get into it, but quite a bit of vegetation and elements that the teams are dealing with

91
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:17.000
Okay, So just want to acknowledge that the figures and content of this presentation they are sourced from our draft final rifice report.

92
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.000
This report is still in development, and it's not quite finalized yet.

93
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.000
And then another picture here also from our 2,019 filled season.

94
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:34.000
This is some dynamic data collection with our em, 61 and one of our grids, and you can see the gentleman there collecting

95
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:42.000
And then they have their R. 10 Gps. In fact, let me switch over, pointing out better

96
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:51.000
We got our Gps here, our data logger here, and they are surveying the grid before we get into it.

97
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.000
Did want to go over some acronyms that you'll see in this presentation.

98
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:59.000
I think a lot of us familiar with them, but for those that are not advanced.

99
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:04.000
Geophysical classification was one component that we did during the food work for this site.

100
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:18.000
You'll see that is rebated agc normally per acre, which we'll get into that just skipping down conceptual site model as a Csm. digital geophysical mapping will be

101
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.000
Dgm: And then one of our stakeholders Florida department, environmental protection skipping down.

102
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:37.000
Let you look over a little bit, but we will talk about some some munitions, and supposed to be concerned, some Mac some munitions debris, another one of our stakeholders.

103
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:42.000
Which would be the St. Louis district Mvs.

104
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:55.000
And then skipping down to the bottom we'll talk about we'll have a figure later on from visual sampling plan that we'll talk about, and that's abbreviated vsp

105
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:02.000
Okay, so to go into our stakeholders they include the army coordinators, Jacksonville district.

106
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:17.000
The engineering support center in Huntsville, the Florida Department of Environmental protection, and of course, the property owners who actually own the property that we did the project on, and wanted to point out that all of these stakeholders

107
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:24.000
that were all participate in development of the project, approach our technical approach and sampling that we did on the site.

108
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.000
Our picture over to the right is from our 2019 filled season.

109
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:39.000
The 2 personnel. There are queuing targets with the Tim tats, which is an Agc. advance to a physical classification instrument.

110
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:45.000
This particular work is done, following the dynamic survey, where we actually identify targets of interest.

111
00:07:45.000 --> 00:08:00.000
And these folks are going and actually doing a queued survey a static survey over each one of those targets of interest. This is done prior to the intrusive investigation.

112
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:16.000
Okay, so we'll jump in the site here. so in 1940 the Navy acquired 640 acres about 3 miles northwest of Boston, and putting them County Florida The target, became known as both the Boston

113
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:23.000
bomb target and the putting them bombing range I believe for this presentation I mainly refer to it as the Boston bomb target, but you can see in the map there.

114
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:28.000
It's it's about an hour so I don't have south of Jacksonville.

115
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.000
Florida,

116
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:38.000
Okay. So, continuing on our site history, So the inventory project report

117
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.000
It confirmed the location. The historical use of this site.

118
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:49.000
The bomb target, which is right here in the central portion of the Mrs.

119
00:08:49.000 --> 00:09:00.000
The bomb target was calculated to extend beyond the target center by about 3,000 feet for total of 649 acres, and originally it was the 640 acre red box.

120
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:09.000
Here. It included safety buffers for uncertainties and outitude and flight speed of the training aircraft which will become important later.

121
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.000
As we discussed the evolution of the Csm.

122
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:27.000
Did want to point out there's no historical evidence of bombing activities outside of this 640 acre funds property, and you're by asking yourself where we have this large range fan the yellow fan and this is from the 2

123
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:36.000
1,004 archive search report, and established the the fan about just over 3,100 acres, and this was based on how far an aircraft rocket could travel.

124
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:41.000
After it was fired, the the point being when they went to hit the bomb target.

125
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:50.000
Dick. They were flying, training aircraft and dropping the munitions on the target

126
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:55.000
So one more slide, I believe, about site history. Some important things to note.

127
00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:02.000
Here is the 640 acre bomb target that we talked about.

128
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:07.000
This is the actual. If you can look look at a historical photograph.

129
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:21.000
There is an approach factor that the training aircraft came from the north heading to the south to hit the target, and then also coming from the South heading to the north to hit the target. So that's gonna come in to

130
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:30.000
a great importance later, as we'd get into this presentation a couple things to point out there was some meg that was found during the 2,010.

131
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:40.000
Si down in this location here, as well as some munitions debris,

132
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.000
Okay, So let's talk about the current use and receptors.

133
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:51.000
So the Mr. S. is primarily used for pine tree harvesting the preliminary conceptual site model for the Mrs.

134
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:59.000
Indicated, potentially complete pathways for mechanismc and exposure to human receptors at the Mrs.

135
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:04.000
And that's talks about the on-site workers September harvesting the Wetland surveyors.

136
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:09.000
And of course, any recreational users, and I wanted to include this picture over to the right.

137
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:14.000
This is from the 2020 field season. This is a transect prior to brush cutting.

138
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.000
But it's what you expect in that part of Florida.

139
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.000
Very thick very challenging to deal with

140
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:35.000
Okay, moving along to the data quality objective. So the project, Dqos were to obtain data to characterize nature and extent of any Macrom see contamination present at the Mrs.

141
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:40.000
This picture below is from the 2,020 filled season.

142
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:54.000
All these items were all munitions, debris you're looking at us a mark, 1 2 7 5 inch rocket warheads, some bdu, 33 practice bombs, and a mark 89 practice ball but

143
00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:02.000
all of these word munitions debris there was no Mac found there

144
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.000
So let's talk about the field work that was done i've kind of alluded to.

145
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:24.000
It. There were 2 field seasons, both in 2,019 and 2020, so the initial Ri characterization effort again it's centered around the 640 acre target, and that was for both the 2,019 and

146
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:29.000
2020 field season. so we collected dynamic Dgm.

147
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:44.000
Primary along these transects that you see the the purple transects are from the 20 ninth field season, and they were based on they were space 547 feet apart and they were based in detecting

148
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:48.000
a 275 inch rocket target area.

149
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:55.000
No! During the 2019 field season we did find some 20 projectile munitions debris.

150
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.000
Those were not anticipated, not party initial conceptual site model.

151
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:04.000
So this led to a data gap, and so we wanted an additional investigation.

152
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:19.000
During the 2,020 filled season, and then we move into 2,020 field season, and you can see that the orange transsex there 275 feet apart during the field season, because the 20 is a lot harder to

153
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.000
detect, we actually lowered the height. The standard height of 60.

154
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:37.000
One is 42 cm. We lower that down to 20 cm, and we did that to aiden the detection of the 20 projectile, and just looking at the figure over on the right you can see again, the

155
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:43.000
purple transsex from the 2,019 filled Season the yellow transects from

156
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:49.000
Sorry the orange transsex from the 2,020 field season, and then the smaller polygons and symbology.

157
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:53.000
You see, those are the various grids that we collected in each field season.

158
00:13:53.000 --> 00:14:04.000
The yellow grids were from 2,019, and the green grids were collected in 2020

159
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:11.000
So we talked about Vsp. back in the Academy list, but following the dynamic survey.

160
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:17.000
We did get an online density map that was generated in Vsp.

161
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.000
Now we had 2 different coal heights in 2,019 versus 20.

162
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:26.000
20 survey data. So for 2,019 we did an analysis in Vsp.

163
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:43.000
And for 2020 we did a separate independent analysis. so the critical density, and if I could discuss the critical density is basically the boundary where we go from a a high density area kind of in this large red bull's eye

164
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:57.000
here to a lower density. so that's what that critical density is, and that line for the 2019 data was 350 anomalies per acre, and that was based on our dynamic transsect

165
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:03.000
survey , i'm so sorry before you go any further.

166
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.000
You see, at the very bottom of your screen how it says the Us.

167
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.000
Zoom is sharing your screen just to the right there's a little hide link.

168
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.000
If you click that . Thank you so much. Sorry about that.

169
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:19.000
Thank you to go back. so they're in the 2,020 field season.

170
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:28.000
We collected additional data beyond that 640 acre target area, and we ended up coming up with a critical density of 80 anomalies per acre.

171
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.000
And you can see some of that down in this area, for example.

172
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.000
And then the other thing I want to point out goes back to receptors.

173
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:43.000
If you see this hashed area that's common throughout the Mri, that is the area where timber harvesting is conducted.

174
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:52.000
So just let you know how extensive that is across the site

175
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:57.000
So, following where we had the anomaly density, and we had those boundaries.

176
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:02.000
The Pdt. was presented, proposed grid locations.

177
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:12.000
These grid locations were placed in the the higher density area, where some of the grids to try and confirm what the nature of some of that a high density amount of targets that we saw, and then we

178
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:27.000
also had grids that were placed in the load and stay outside of that we had variable dimensions that were used anywhere from 50 by 50 to 33 by a 1,000, and the reason that that long rectangular

179
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.000
grid is because given that it's timber harvesting they do plant and rows on the site.

180
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:39.000
And so that led to those long rectangular grids where we collect in between the tree rows.

181
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:49.000
So the grids collected during the 2,019 season. we're collected at the standard cool height of 42 cm, and we used a 5 millivolts on channel 2 with the em 61 to detect that

182
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:54.000
t oi, and then the grids collected. During the 2020 field season.

183
00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:05.000
Again. we used the lower coal height of 20 cm, but we did have a threshold of 9.6, because when you lower the cool to the ground, you do end up with higher signals and noise ratios so

184
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:18.000
that that is part of the reason why we added that so, following that dynamic survey in the high density grids, we did a cute survey of the targets of interest in the 2,019 filled season we use

185
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.000
the Tim Tads 2 by 2 to do a a queued Agc.

186
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:31.000
Survey, and then in the 2020 field season we use the metal map or 2 by 2

187
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:42.000
And this particular picture is from the 2020 field season, and collected in one of our high density grids

188
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:56.000
So after we call it, completed our cute survey, we dug all of our targets of interest, and as part of that we ended up with the total of just over 1,700 investigations, and we did dig along both

189
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:07.000
transsex, and in grids. So, following that intrusive investigation, we ended up with about £1,300 of munitions debris, some small arms, and about a £185 of

190
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:20.000
non-munitions related to debris. I wanted to reiterate that during the Ri we found no mech items during that investigation. and talking about the pictures here, you can see one personnel.

191
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:30.000
Is doing some menu excavation of the t Oi and that's for some of the shallow ones you can see the Gps in the background there that they were using.

192
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:46.000
And then, additionally, in the upper right. You can see also, during the 2019 field season, for some of the deeper targets of interest they use mechanical excavator to aid in that intrusive investigation

193
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:52.000
So let's talk about some intrusive results here we're looking at the high use areas.

194
00:18:52.000 --> 00:19:00.000
We had quite a bit that was used. the 2 2 5 inch practice rocket, the 2 7, 5 inch practice.

195
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:15.000
Rocket again with the 20 training practice projectile the three-pound practice Bomb and I did want to point out on this that we had a that even though we did find the practice bombs down to 40

196
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:23.000
inches. The model depth of detection that we had for the metal mapper was only down to 21.7 inches.

197
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:28.000
That this basically means that we were not able to get some of the deeper.

198
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:41.000
We were not able to select some of the deeper three-bound practice bonds as T Oi at this side that that limitation of that data was noted in the data usability assessment that was That's part of

199
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:46.000
the report for this site. to go down and talk some more again.

200
00:19:46.000 --> 00:20:01.000
The hot 5 inch have our practice rockets, and £250 practice bombs and £56 practice bombs, and we found a total of 549 and again, these were all munitions

201
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:07.000
debris, everything that was found

202
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:14.000
So then we also did, digging outside of the How you series in the lowest areas in the in some grids.

203
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.000
Yeah, pretty similar to what we saw in the high East area.

204
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:32.000
Again the 2, 2, 5 practice rocket, the 20 the three-pound practice Bombs the Bdu, 33, and things like the market, 89, £56 practice bomb, and We found a total of

205
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:39.000
66 of these, outside of the highuse area

206
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:43.000
And in this we have those results plotted on our map.

207
00:20:43.000 --> 00:21:03.000
Again. This is the 649 acre target area, and then we have the symbology of where the various munitions items were located

208
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:12.000
So after we got done doing the filled work we we noticed a couple things that didn't quite seem to line up.

209
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:23.000
So we went back, and we talked to St. Louis district, and we wanted to reassess that 3,100 acre range fan that was generated from the 2,004 archive search report.

210
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:30.000
Now that range fan, at the time when the Asr was done, was a standard air to ground rocket range that was developed by St.

211
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:36.000
Louis in the early 2 thousands based on historical range regulations that they had available at that time.

212
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:47.000
Now the findings from the Ri. they did not match up to that 3,100 acre range fan, and it was not reflective of the training that had been conducted at the site.

213
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.000
So based on these findings and follow up Pdt.

214
00:21:50.000 --> 00:22:05.000
Meet meetings with St. Louis, St. Louis noted that additional historical range regulations had been used since the early 2 thousands. so from the additional regulations, the figure to the right is a rocket range fan drawn from 1,940

215
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:14.000
7 This was incorporated into the conceptual site model versus the 3,100 acre range fan from the 2,004 Asr.

216
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:24.000
And it. This was done, and it more accurately reflected the on-site training that was conducted, and it lined up with the findings that we had from the from the review investigation.

217
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:29.000
And if you look, I know it's hard to read but it's basically the smaller range fan it comes up.

218
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:52.000
It's about 6,500 feet by about 6,000 feet. it's significantly smaller than that 3,100 acre range fan that we started with

219
00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:01.000
So based on that we did revise the high-use area or low use area, and there are no evidence of use boundaries.

220
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:19.000
Looking at the figure that, looking at the Ri results, and remembering that we, looking at all the historical records, looking at the findings from the Ri, the findings seem to indicate that we again we had the training

221
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.000
aircraft that started from the north and headed south.

222
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:27.000
And then also there are other approach factors starting from the south and headed north.

223
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:36.000
So this ends up giving us this little bit of a laptop a kind of an hour glass shape, where we came up with the 2 overlapping range fans.

224
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:40.000
And again, This is based on the updated regulations that St.

225
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:49.000
Louis was able to provide to us, and it matched much better to what we had found from the Ri

226
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.000
So part of the final, the the acreage for the high use area.

227
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.000
It was revised to 189 acres.

228
00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:06.000
The low use areas to just over a 1,000. acres and then the no evidence of you. Syria, which is from the legacy range fan ends up being 1,800.

229
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:12.000
We'll get into that later. on Why, why that's important as well.

230
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:20.000
So some lessons learn throughout the ri phase It's. important for the Pdts to Confirm.

231
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:33.000
The Mrs boundaries in line with historical data training records, historical photographs, interviews, findings from previous investigations that all needs to be incorporated in the Pdt needs to be thinking about that so, if the shape of

232
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:38.000
the Mr. Spounder is not indicative of historical training, and Ri.

233
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.000
Results that that should be a red flag, and the Pdt.

234
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.000
Should fall up with St. Louis. We need to make sure that we understand the origin of our Mrs.

235
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:58.000
Boundary, and how it was applied. This point is particularly important for the odor Asrs, for example, our system 2,004, where more historical regulations are now available and used to ensure the Ms.

236
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:13.000
Foundry It's still applicable so we talked I mentioned on the last slide about how we needed still account for that original fuds acreage must still be accounted for if there's an mri's boundary reduction we can't just throw

237
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:21.000
it out that still has to be tracked

238
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:32.000
And then this comes to the end of my presentation, and this particular one picture is from a transsect from the 2,020 field season that the crews had to deal with.

239
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:38.000
Thank you. Alright, thank you, Mr. Barry we've got about 9 questions in the queue.

240
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.000
So i'm gonna kind of run through them and just answer them as best she can.

241
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:49.000
Alright. So first question is, where can we find the final report when it is finalized.

242
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:55.000
So it'll be part of the public record you you say so we'll have a copy of it.

243
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:58.000
And then there also be a coffee that should be source locally as well.

244
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:04.000
Part of the administrative record. So those will be various places.

245
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:14.000
That that we will have that document alright. next question is, how many targets of interest were there?

246
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.000
So the targets of interest don't have that off top my head.

247
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:26.000
But an important thing to note is, we did only do a agc survey in the high density area. But we did dig all of those targets.

248
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.000
So I I don't have the t oi off top of my head.

249
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:32.000
But again we did have over 1,700 intrusive investigations.

250
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:42.000
So it was a smaller population than that. All right. Some of the questions keep jumping up and disappearing here.

251
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.000
Is there an acronym list for m 2 s 2 I'm sure there is

252
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:54.000
I tried to include all the acronyms that I had, but that slide was getting very busy.

253
00:26:54.000 --> 00:27:01.000
Alright, did the Ri work? Yeah, my question here keep shifting around here.

254
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:09.000
Okay, here we go. Did the ri work shift or improve your initial conceptual site model, and that's the question.

255
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:16.000
And it says I'm. curious about any refinement that you may have made to the Csl.

256
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:24.000
Absolutely the Ri sampling. As a noted it, it identified a piece of munitions that we do not have as part of Csm.

257
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:31.000
It showed that we did need to expand outside of that 640 acre target area in various places.

258
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:39.000
So it absolutely. And then it was fundamental, and realizing that the range hand that we have was not indicative of the training that was conducted.

259
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:45.000
So it was very important. Alright, next one says Great presentation so far.

260
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:55.000
How did you decide on the quality or i'm sorry the quantity of grids to be placed within high density areas?

261
00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:00.000
We tried to look at back on the anomaly density figure.

262
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:09.000
We did try to. Inside that there were various various harder areas and cooling areas, even side of the high-use area.

263
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:13.000
We tried to praise those both geospatially across that area.

264
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:18.000
As well as trying to sample the various anomaly densities.

265
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.000
So so we had a good sampling across the whole Aa.

266
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:34.000
And then also in the low use area, We we had various features on the side that could have been things like impact craters and whatnot that we wanted to put some grids there to take a look and see what was there?

267
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:40.000
Okay, next question is you mentioned, Vsp: What is that?

268
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:48.000
Bsp is a visual sampling plan We use it to help decide how we're gonna sample these munitions.

269
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:59.000
Response Sites So for our site in particular. if you go into Vsp, you, input, for example, your Mrs boundary and then you look for you.

270
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:02.000
Look at your conceptual site model and you figure out a target area that you're looking for.

271
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.000
So for 2,019 we were looking for the 275 inch rocket.

272
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:14.000
So our initial sampling was based on transects to both traverse and detect that target.

273
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:23.000
We realized from that 2,019 field work that that wasn't quite going to do it because we had a smaller target area via the 20 mills that could potentially be out there.

274
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:35.000
So we had tighter spacing I believe it's 275 feet apart to look for that 20 and so we did additional trans 6 that were tighter space to look for that smaller target area

275
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:40.000
And so that's what Vsp basically is it helps you design that sampling approach.

276
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:52.000
And then, once you conduct that sampling approach in our case we did the Dynamic transsex use in the in 61 you can generate a a heat map and anomaly didn't normally per acre

277
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:58.000
map, and that showed the the crigging that we saw previously.

278
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:09.000
And from that you get an idea of where your high use area boundary is where your low use area boundary is, and and then you go and place grids in those, and actually do some intrusive sampling to figure out what the

279
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:17.000
nature of those of those hotspots are and it's free software publicly available.

280
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:25.000
All right. The next question is, are you using any visual software for managing your site data for the conceptual site model?

281
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:31.000
Like again. Nutshell has pronounced ecosystem.

282
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:36.000
I apologize. i'm not familiar with that we do have all of our data.

283
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:41.000
It is all geospatially in a gis platform as we art map.

284
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:50.000
We have in that location. we have all of the geophysical data that was collected both with Gps and the Agc.

285
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:56.000
Data that was also collected with Gps. We have all of that geospatially recorded, and that is part of the project record.

286
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:05.000
And the maps that I showed you are actually that that all comes from Mark map where that information is stored.

287
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:11.000
Okay, next question. Your conceptual site model looks very 2. D.

288
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:26.000
Was there any analysis in 3? D. there was I had some tables showing the the vertical distribution of some of the ind that was found, and there were some additional figures that I could have pulled as well from the report that

289
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:41.000
shows the 3 dimension. but yes, versus the horizontal it's also very important to get an idea of the vertical distribution of any munitions debris on the side all right, questions keep rolling in by the way

290
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:55.000
so we've got about 4 min left here next question Sorry if I missed it was the 2,019 rein interpreted for shallow 20 projectiles, even if that data couldn't detect deeper ones after

291
00:31:55.000 --> 00:32:08.000
the quo was lowered for the 2020 field session, so no because we it'd be like a little bit like mixing apples and oranges the 2,020 filled season in addition to covering the

292
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:15.000
transsex from the 2,019 field season it had transsects that were spaced roughly halfway in between.

293
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:25.000
And so, even though we didn't read examined the 2,019 data, we did cover that day to a transsex with the 2,020 filled season at the shorter coral height of a 20

294
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:34.000
centimeters. Okay, Any info on the Mc Aspects of the conspiracy conceptual site model.

295
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:38.000
I I did not include that as part of the presentation.

296
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:44.000
If i'm understanding right from an mc perspective maybe I'm not understanding it right?

297
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:55.000
Well, we did not find anything. okay with the discovery of neck change the approach, especially if Mac was discovered outside the high-use area absolutely.

298
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.000
And I did want to point out that there was Mac found during the Si.

299
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:05.000
That was done prior to the remedial investigation and so we're not walking away from this area.

300
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.000
There is going to be further remediation. that will be necessary.

301
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:12.000
But but absolutely alright. Got just a couple of minutes here.

302
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:18.000
Got 2 more questions. Can you explain how the target threshold was chosen after lowering the high eighth of the Em: 60?

303
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:26.000
One. Yeah, we did a A depth response curve, and that was using the

304
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:28.000
We have a depth response curve which can be used.

305
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:42.000
That you plug in your munition and your offset of the coil, and that can be modeled in various software. And then you can input the site noise that, for example, from the geology on the side or whatnot

306
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:56.000
and as long as it's above that side noise and it's wherever that curve is above the side noise that gave us an idea of where we would be able to detect detect the various items of interest all right

307
00:33:56.000 --> 00:34:01.000
last question what ppe and other precautions were used while in the field, I believe.

308
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:09.000
And it was just your standard. If If the teams were out there they had your safety boots.

309
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:15.000
They had their high, viz. they had. If they were around any sort of machinery, you know, they would have used hard hats and whatnot.

310
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:22.000
So it was basically for the folks who were collecting the geographical data.

311
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:28.000
Not much more than some safety glasses, some vest, and some boots, I believe a level D.

312
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:36.000
But for folks who are actually digging a work on excavator, they obviously had a higher level of Pp: that was necessary.

313
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:41.000
Okay, perfect. that's actually all the questions we've got and we're fixed up right on time.

314
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:51.000
Very good appreciate it, Mr. Barry so with that we're gonna go ahead and roll into the next presentation, and they'll be Dr.

315
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:55.000
Heather, Mcdonald, when you are ready to share your screen.

316
00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:14.000
You may be getting

317
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:20.000
Okay, is that coming up? i'm still seeing a black screen at the moment?

318
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:26.000
It may be just taking a second. Yeah, and while you're waiting, if you'd like to enable your camera as well, we can confirm that, though.

319
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:43.000
Sorry

320
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:55.000
Okay, your slides are up in your videos up. Okay, Great alright. Hello, Everyone Today i'm going to talk about a case study for a site at Reson arsenal.

321
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.000
We call it Marshall 3 and it's the development of Vcsm.

322
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:08.000
And how we're going to refine it

323
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:25.000
Okay, So the agenda will first give some information about the site location the background of the site and how it type into reson arsenal and marshall space flight center and then our initial site characterization

324
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:37.000
activities for the site and that's kind of the user physical data, and it was collected as well as the intrusive investigation results and sampling.

325
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:46.000
And then Our selected inter measures alternatives that came out as a result of those investigations and then.

326
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:52.000
Now, the interim measures implementation that we are currently carrying out.

327
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.000
So Marshall 3 is located in the central part of Resston Arsenal.

328
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:03.000
Regson Arsenal is this black and white dash area here.

329
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:10.000
It is located west of Huntsville and and south of Hansville.

330
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:18.000
In Marshall. 3 is the red dot here, and within that and it's a very busy part of redesign arsenal.

331
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:26.000
It's within marshall space flight center which is has a lease from the army for that area we have blue origin.

332
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:31.000
Is we seen space from Nasa for a test sand that's west of our site.

333
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:47.000
We also have the historical place. the historic redstone testing just north of our site, and we have a little bit further north east is we have an FBI facility.

334
00:37:47.000 --> 00:38:01.000
So it's a very busy part of the Arsenal, So some background into redstone Arsenal in general. so we as I mentioned before, it's next to Harrisco Alabama, within Madison County,

335
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:06.000
and it is was formally comprised of 3 separate areas.

336
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:18.000
We have the resort ordinance, plant arsenal, and the gold chemical Warfare Depot, and all of these facilities are used in the forties to produce conventional and chemical munitions for use in World

337
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:34.000
war. 2 Communist and casings were filled at hard principal arsenal, and and that was had 3 production plants, which produced several types of chemical warfare material new munitions and 1 min once They

338
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:42.000
were filled at Huntsville Arsenal. Then they were transported to Redstone, or next plant for final assembly.

339
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:52.000
After World War 2 rose and arsenal mission change, and to reverse and development of rocketry and guided missile systems.

340
00:38:52.000 --> 00:39:02.000
And then the 3 facilities were combined into one facility under the name Redstone Arsenal, and red and arsenal regulatory, wise.

341
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:14.000
It's currently under a recordsa product permit So and that that permit is administered by the State of Alabama, and so that dictates a lot of the way.

342
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:21.000
We do things as far as our investigations and our cleanup strategies.

343
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:33.000
So continuing on with the background, and 1960 Marshall space flight center was established, and within the Huntsville arsenal plants area.

344
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:48.000
And so Nasa has a 100 year lease with the army for this property, for Marshall, Space Flight center and marshall space fight, center, Marshall Marshall 3 lies within that property and it encompasses about

345
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:57.000
50 acres, and, historically speaking, if it was a waste disposal area within Huntsville arsenal.

346
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:03.000
And so because it's on nash nasa property. there's a lot of activities at the site.

347
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:11.000
It includes office support as stand, operation, compound support to the test fans and all kind of point.

348
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:15.000
Some of these areas out, as we see some diggers later.

349
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:28.000
So specific to marshal 3. we have that the site boundary was established by the army in 2,007, and it includes 4 historical waste disposal areas.

350
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:45.000
We have Marshall 3, which is the what we call the bone yard, and this was used, based on historical information by various laboratories and construction contractors to dispose of scrap material, and Waste.

351
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:52.000
And then we have marshall threee which is East of Marshall 3, and i'll give you'll see this on a figure in a moment.

352
00:40:52.000 --> 00:41:10.000
And so, when the historic testing that I mentioned was established, they had to excavate soil to install water reservoirs for cooling water for the test sand, and so that excavated soil is what is known as

353
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:17.000
partial 3 E. where that where that foil was relocated to, and then we have the others.

354
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:20.000
The final 2 areas are Marshall, a 2 and A.

355
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:31.000
To south, and this is for southern two-thirds of the as marshall 3, and they're within a boundary of what we call historical area.

356
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:43.000
11, and these types slightly different site, use and They were documented as having accepted reject chemical munitions from the deactivation of harmful arsenal.

357
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:55.000
And they were not just having both and destruction. grounds for different types of chemical agent and also white prosperous. So here's a figure showing those 4 areas.

358
00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:04.000
So we've got the The main area where which was our bone yard, the blue area 3, which is 3, then 3.

359
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:20.000
E is across the dog road here that runs north south, where our disposed the the soil that was excavated for the tanks was disposed of, and then we have 82 south, which were our disposal and destruction

360
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:31.000
areas. So because of the very site history. with this, these portions of the site, it was split up into 3.

361
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:37.000
Mr. Munitions response sites. so Mr. s one which is the

362
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:47.000
The eastern portion of the site. that includes the historical ways to expose the landfill located that we're referred to as Marshall 3 E.

363
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:55.000
And feel work which i'll discuss more in death determined that there was mean.

364
00:42:55.000 --> 00:43:10.000
There were munitions and explosives of concern present, and these disposal areas, However, no Cwm chemical warfare material was identified in that area, and then Ms.

365
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:22.000
2 is our central area, where that was what we refer to as the bone yard, and that was

366
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:34.000
Individual single point anomalies that contain met, and also some other kind of debris associated with disposal of munitions.

367
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:49.000
And Then we have the third Mr. is associated with the Marshall 82, 82 south areas, and those had a more of a destruction operation.

368
00:43:49.000 --> 00:44:04.000
So i've mentioned that redstone has a record, permit, and the permit list all all of this solid waste management units within redstone arsenal of which marshall 3 is one and

369
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:15.000
it's is listed as a new that requires an interim measures and or source removal, and it also it requires a recre facility.

370
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:32.000
Investigation and the permit language specific quickly requires for this type that it that we need to have an enter measures work, plan to include removal of disposed chemical munitions, plastic materials, chemical waste and burn

371
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:39.000
pits and So this is a pretty big side it's a pretty big job.

372
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:49.000
So what we did to facilitate that intermeasures work plan as we split the interim, measure space into 2 into 2 parts.

373
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:55.000
First week with phase. one will we characterize the site, and we find out what is there, and where is where is it?

374
00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:00.000
And then phase 2 would be where we implemented the inter measure.

375
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.000
And ad phase 2 is where we produce that intermeasures work.

376
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:10.000
Plan. So phase, one investigation of the Rs.

377
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:14.000
One and 2 was completed in 2,016 and mri 3.

378
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:24.000
We're anticipating to award phase one investigation for that work, and this this and we separated those because Ms.

379
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:33.000
3 is a spherically associated with other operations and so we're going to save that for a later time.

380
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:36.000
So in order to characterize our Ms. one and 2.

381
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:40.000
During the phase one activities. we did a few things.

382
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.000
We performed geophysics using, and am 61, as well as an Am.

383
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:54.000
31 and also we did some 10 tags surveys on a few grids within the site.

384
00:45:54.000 --> 00:46:06.000
As a result of the geophysics, we identify nearly 12,000 single point anomalies within, and and all of those single point announcements were within Mri to the bone yard.

385
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:10.000
The central area. and then we also identify 20 .

386
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:25.000
7 area targets and area targets are where our due physical data. response data shows just so many anomalies in one particular area that they can't be you can't separate them individually.

387
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:31.000
So we just say that it's a saturday response area one large area.

388
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:42.000
So after the geophysics. So we had an idea where we wanted to investigate to see what was there based on the geographical data.

389
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:48.000
So we use that some of that advanced classification from the Tim Tab and

390
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:56.000
All of that was used to determine 310 single point anomaly locations that were intuitively investigated.

391
00:46:56.000 --> 00:47:08.000
And then, in order to and characterize the area targets, we exorcated 36 test pits located within those area targets.

392
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:14.000
We also perform some environmental sampling. So we did some groundwater and soil sampling.

393
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:31.000
Then, if a single point anomaly was the location of a Mac Item, then soil samples were collected below that that location, and then, if we saw evidence of burning operations like this colored soil, or

394
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:39.000
disposal pits things like that what were taken in those areas as well, and then for area targets.

395
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:43.000
Several of the for all of the area targets.

396
00:47:43.000 --> 00:48:03.000
Oh, no, Several actually sorry about that. So we installed 8 coilblings, and so then collected different quantities of soil, a different level step, and and we also collected 11 groundwords Yeah, and all of those samples

397
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:10.000
were analyzed. So because we have this side has an elevated Cwm.

398
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:22.000
Probability they first require as head spacing for chemical agents on site, which in this case they were headed for Mustard and Lewisite.

399
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.000
And then, once those are clear, those get the soil.

400
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:38.000
Samples were collected and tripled and so they'll go back, and once those are clear on site, they get sent to off off site lab for further screen for chemical agent.

401
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:52.000
And if those samples come up as clear for a chemical agent, then they're sent for our into our analytical lab for other analytics, such as our standard package which would be vocs as cocs metals,

402
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:58.000
explosives, and so on, so as far as the area target.

403
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:03.000
So I mentioned, we had a number of area targets and here are where they're at.

404
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:12.000
We have our Mrs one which the area targets those are in yellow, and there were no single point now. we've identified in that, Mr.

405
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:20.000
And then more x 2, which is our middle, Mr. S. and you can see the the location of those area targets.

406
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:31.000
We like to refer, to this large when it's home place so that's a it's a very big secary response area, as you can see, and then we have so Mr.

407
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:43.000
S 2. We have our single point an hour and as I mentioned. We have over 10,000 single point out, So the that's quite a lot of anomalies to do so.

408
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:51.000
Just keep that in mind going forward so as once we did our intrusive investigations.

409
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:57.000
These are our results that we have found regarding munitions and explosives of concern.

410
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:05.000
There were a couple of potential Cwm. items found at the site, but they were already later determined to be munitions.

411
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:13.000
Debris, and then we had a number of reminations and explosives of concern, and then, finally, we have a number of Md.

412
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:28.000
Items that were found. And then we did see evidence of burn ticks and chemical drum debris, and these are what we call our permit specified features, and those were evidence and several locations.

413
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:33.000
And here are is a figure of our Mac or intuitive results.

414
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:38.000
So we have. This is our home plate up here. We did the yellow triangles.

415
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:42.000
Our test hit locations, and so you can see some results.

416
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:57.000
Say, for example, this test pay per day from 4 point, 2 inch mortar, and then we have test it over in different, you know, within each of our factory response areas and the permit specified features.

417
00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:07.000
We found evidence of in several locations, and those include burn pace containers, such as drums and things like that.

418
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:14.000
So our intuitive investigation is definitely showing evidence of what we, what we based on the historical background.

419
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:34.000
What we might expect to see at the site. So, in summary of the phase, one characterizedation so based on the results, we can establish that we need to perform some kind of interim measure at the site and other kids what the

420
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:42.000
unacceptable near-term hazard and risk human health in the environment, always by munitions and explosives of concern and potential.

421
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:59.000
Ewm. So our objectives of the For the Im where to minimize direct and current and future direct exposure to Mac and to minimize current and future direct or indirectly exposure to chemical agent or chemical

422
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:16.000
agent containing material. So this that I am process is is very similar to going through at like a rifs, and then producing a decision document.

423
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:23.000
And so we have. We look at alternatives and screen them for which inter measures alternative.

424
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:33.000
We want to select, and the selected alternative from that process was to remove our Mac and permit specify beforeal features using.

425
00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:43.000
Agc. and so we want to go and remove all of the Mac and permit specify features, and Mrs one and 2.

426
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:54.000
Remember that M Rf 3 isn't included in this port or part of the investigation and inter measure, and in order to apply our Agc.

427
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:59.000
We're going to perform full coverage as you see and our central Mr.

428
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:05.000
Srs 2, where we had all those single point anomalies, and what our goal here for the Apc.

429
00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:20.000
To determine what to find our targets of interest and our targets of interest for that site, based on the historical background is the 4 point, 2 inch mortar, and this is the only munition likely to be

430
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:26.000
chemically considered at this site. and this is an example here of a 4 point.

431
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:31.000
2 is smarter that we used and it would during this is during our Qa.

432
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:45.000
Seating process. And so Then the Atc. data collected will be used to classify all anomalies as either targets of interest or non targets of interest.

433
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:55.000
And hopefully, then, the anomalies that we'll have to dig that are we pick our potentially cwm aren't 12,000 families?

434
00:53:55.000 --> 00:54:02.000
It would be a lot less than that number, and therefore only there will only be investigating.

435
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:08.000
Those targets have been Chris and our area targets under full Cwm protocol.

436
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:23.000
And visit result. This approach will result hopefully in X-ray and few anomalies. and the the reason this is so important is because when we investigate under coding protocols, it requires a lot more

437
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:27.000
personnel and and things like we have to have a rear.

438
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:32.000
Real time air monitoring. We have to have a personal decontamination station.

439
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:37.000
We have to have emergency person on site at all times, and these are.

440
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:53.000
This is all required by regulations for cwm sites so we don't have to have all of that level of effort for the field work that would really reduce what the the the the time and and money that it would cost

441
00:54:53.000 --> 00:55:02.000
to to the do the inter measure for this if you're stupid like showing our selected enter measure which I mentioned.

442
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:08.000
So Mr. s one we're going to excavate all of these area targets. M. R. S.

443
00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:14.000
2. we're going to excavate the area targets but also perform full coverage Adc.

444
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:28.000
Within the entire Mri. and so that brings us to late last year, where we is our atc collection, using 2 methods large.

445
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:33.000
Most of the site we were able to do perform full coverage.

446
00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:44.000
Using our ultra 10 classifier, which is shown here on the right and and then a small portion of the site was covered, using the screener.

447
00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:59.000
And this is the person portable letter and it's used for example, in areas like in the picture where you see flow, or maybe areas that are very close to building, where our classifier cannot reach.

448
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:08.000
And then the rest of the site was either comprised of a building or a tank, or a portion that we could not collect.

449
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:13.000
Data. Here are the results from our at Gc. collection.

450
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:25.000
So what what happened here is we have a reduction we able. we're able to see a reduction in the size of the footprint for our our our area targets.

451
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:30.000
If you remember, this was our home plate, and we were able to shrink it somewhat.

452
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:42.000
Here. as far as having a factory response area. So the table here at the right shows our acres before Atc and after Atc.

453
00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:57.000
And you can see we have a nearly 20% reduction in our saturated response area, so that's potentially a savings of of a lot of time and effort to that we don't have to go in here and excavate all

454
00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:13.000
of those that that much less able. So We are currently underway with field work for these area targets and So we have several area targets that have been completed.

455
00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:25.000
Several that are being excluded. right now. This large one here, Mrs 102, is currently being excavated for, and

456
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:32.000
We have a couple of other small ones and it's you know this is a multi-year fuel effort.

457
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:37.000
And another thing to that's interesting about the site because as I mentioned.

458
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:44.000
We have a lot of nearby site sentence people working and not office buildings test dance.

459
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:48.000
All of our fill work takes place for our intrusive operations at night.

460
00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:58.000
So. That makes it also a lot more challenging. And this is an example of an area target excavation that Mr.

461
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:04.000
S one o 2 and you can start to see here on the edges.

462
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:11.000
We have some evidence of our app and such, but we have to have light towers, and

463
00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:20.000
All, all of this work has to be taking place. after hours, for when most people are working.

464
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:26.000
Okay, so that was the area target. So we were also able to refine the Csm.

465
00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:35.000
With Atc for the single point. now. so, as I mentioned, we had almost 12,000 single point anomalies, using our em 60.

466
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:43.000
One data. and then from our agc data, we have 17,000 knowledge. Now that seems like, Wow, we just got more nonlies.

467
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:53.000
And while that's true and it's because our agency be sensor boils, and result has a higher resolution than the Am.

468
00:58:53.000 --> 00:59:00.000
61. So where some of these 1112,000 around these might be, you know, one anomaly or V.

469
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:08.000
In 61, the resolution could for Agc. that might end up being 2 anomalies, and that data.

470
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:17.000
And but the really great thing we can do with this is that the data set is to look at our targets of interest.

471
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:25.000
Based on the Agc data. We determined that there were a total of 672 targets of interest.

472
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:38.000
And so that means they're very likely to be a 4.2 inch more, and that's the one that we're looking for that we that the only munition that we expect to have a cwm fill that we

473
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:44.000
would require to be excavated under Cgm protocols.

474
00:59:44.000 --> 01:00:03.000
So we invested those under feed in the protocol, and then the remaining anomaly raining 17,000 anomalies that are left out of that 6 after those or excavated, we are planning to

475
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:11.000
investigate under Cwm. contingency protocols, so that those are not requiring real time, air, monitoring, and all the emergency.

476
01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:14.000
First thing else to be present on site when those happen. so.

477
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:32.000
Because of that. So that's the 95% percent reduction in the number of nonlies that we have to investigate under these devices, so that represents a huge cost agency to us

478
01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:39.000
And here's a visual representation what we we went from, so that we had our before Atc.

479
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:48.000
Here on the left, on the right, where we had many, many, many single point anomalies excavate under a Cwm.

480
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:54.000
And then. Now we can excavate only a very small subset of those

481
01:00:54.000 --> 01:01:05.000
I don't think I mentioned on this slide but where we but we are going to excavate all of our anomalies, but we just aren't doing them all under zoom for the calls.

482
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:11.000
And this is one of the only way. 8 have not.

483
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:20.000
We have not applied Abc. in this way before any other site so we're excited to try to use the Agc.

484
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:26.000
In this way to apply it to, not just leave, not necessarily leave things in the ground and walk away.

485
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:34.000
But to select between how we dig them. So in summary.

486
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:45.000
So Marshall 3 is an area that was used and red from arsenal in the 1,900 fiftys for waste disposal, which include munitions, construction, debris.

487
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:49.000
And so on. during the phase one intuitive investigation of the site.

488
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:59.000
Oh, evidence of chemical munitions, Cwm and burn pits and chemical

489
01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:02.000
And the geophysical data collection from em. 60.

490
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:15.000
One assets, one the ended within Mr. S. 2 as hacking Over, 12,000 individual anomalies and 2 acres of saturated response area.

491
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:29.000
And using Apc data collection, we were able to refine that at those anomaly account to have the acreage of the Saturday responsaries within M. Rs.

492
01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:35.000
2 to be reduced almost 20%. And then the individual anomalies.

493
01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:55.000
Did it increase to 17,000. However, the Atc data collection and data allowed us to reduce our anomalies that we have to dig under our chemical Pwm protocols under 700. and currently we are conducting

494
01:02:55.000 --> 01:03:02.000
our case to inter measure, and We've intrusively investigate all of our Cwm.

495
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:14.000
Our Qi and we're intrusively and our area targets, and then the rest we will remove under our Cdwm contingency protocol.

496
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:22.000
So the take home here is that by using agency to refine our Csm, we were able to reduce the level of effort.

497
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:30.000
We would have to do to that's the inter measure that's it?

498
01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:38.000
Are there any questions? All right, We do have actually about 9 questions, so we may be running right on schedule here.

499
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:45.000
First question is, How are boundaries for the mri areas defined?

500
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:55.000
So they're based on site use. so I will show you just on that based on the historical site.

501
01:03:55.000 --> 01:04:05.000
Use. So we have the disposal area where soil was excavated and placed here on historic area, 3 E.

502
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:15.000
And in the bone yard area where we had just the general disposal. And then our 82 and 82 south, which were had a little bit different site.

503
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:23.000
Use. So it's basically based on site usage okay next question up there.

504
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:29.000
Hold on. Alright, can you talk about white phosphorus?

505
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:36.000
Was any detected. How did you care about and respond with that on site?

506
01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:39.000
Yes, we did have somewhat customers encounter during the phase.

507
01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:47.000
One investigation. and does. This has some script requirements in our.

508
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:59.000
In our permit we are permitted to dispose of for the entire keep right on our small £80 of white phosphorus and our opioid area per year.

509
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:07.000
And we anticipate we haven't found any yet during the phase 2 but we anticipate we will find white phosphorus and

510
01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:12.000
We are still working through the disposal methods for with egom on that.

511
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:20.000
We've got several options on the table but that's white process is difficult, because it's it's not a Cwm.

512
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:27.000
And it's not really something the regulators allow us to dispose of in a conventional way.

513
01:05:27.000 --> 01:05:33.000
Okay, This question was asked for the last presentation. But how are you storing your site data?

514
01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:39.000
What feels, what visualization tool are you? Are you being used?

515
01:05:39.000 --> 01:05:44.000
Was being used too familiar with that. I know that

516
01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:56.000
Our contractors. have There's a database and they do a reference all of their data, but i'm not too familiar with how that how we do it.

517
01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:06.000
Beyond that. Okay, how many mobilization did you do to the site to complete the All right?

518
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:12.000
Okay. So the phase one investigation It took place over a couple of years.

519
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:22.000
We had in 2013 to 2014 that's when we did our data collection.

520
01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:34.000
For geophysics, and then we then did some additional atc surveys in 2,015 and 2,016, so that phase one characterization finish in 2,016.

521
01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:48.000
Then we started. I see. 2019, I think, is about when we started the current or phase 2 activities, and that should take this field work to take several years to complete.

522
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:58.000
And then, after all of that is done, we will move on to the Rfi phase of which we still have to produce an Rfi for this site.

523
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:06.000
We're gonna be there a while. Okay, What is an sp a Okay. So that's a single point.

524
01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:22.000
Anomaly. I I try to find in my presentation the first use, like, for example, here, and that's where the geophysical data collected identified something in the ground that's not normal like not couldn't be there, so to speak,

525
01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:30.000
so not soil it's something that's anomalous to the the the soil of the site, and that it could be a possible munition.

526
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:39.000
It could be relationships. it's hard to tell until we dig it up

527
01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:56.000
Let's see. Okay, Did you use any historical aerial image to help in your initial conceptual site model old sandboard maps and old photos have often time given us locations to start sampling that we would never

528
01:07:56.000 --> 01:08:02.000
have known about the based just on old documents. Yeah.

529
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:06.000
When we were doing our phase. One investigation we looked at.

530
01:08:06.000 --> 01:08:11.000
We have lidar images of residential and

531
01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:18.000
This site wasn't particularly I mean we don't we also look in historical imagery as well to see where areas could be disturbed.

532
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:28.000
So we do do that. So some other site on Redstone. we've definitely found using library We can see disposal trenches very clearly.

533
01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:34.000
So those are very helpful for us, and we always do look at historical imagery over time.

534
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:47.000
If it's it can be very useful. I think Okay, will you be providing training or stand-ups on using Agc at future sites.

535
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:52.000
I i'm no geographicist but I certainly wouldn't wanted to teach you anything about Abc.

536
01:08:52.000 --> 01:09:02.000
But i'm sure as the core starts to learn more is use this technology more and learn how we can use it and implementation.

537
01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:17.000
You know, I think the the you know the core would definitely present more about that and more fights. You do this That will definitely have a lot more information to to share with everyone with the Thank you.

538
01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:21.000
Okay, You mentioned there were 672 tdois.

539
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:26.000
What number of those 2 lies were 4 point, 2 mortars or other.

540
01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:40.000
Mac. I don't think that was I think about a 100 of them were 4.2 h mortars, and we'd had a lot of pipes in that list of the 672 so you

541
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:48.000
know a a 4 inch pipe will probably look very similar to a 4 point, 2 inch mortar and What was the second part?

542
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:54.000
How many were 4 point, 2, and what else or other?

543
01:09:54.000 --> 01:10:07.000
Mac. Okay. yeah, we I don't believe we've had of those same 272. we didn't have other Mac, and in all of those 4.2 inch motors that we found were not neither.

544
01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:10.000
None of them were Cwm, and none of them were Mac items.

545
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:23.000
They were Md. items. Okay, what type of sampling methodology was used in collecting environmental samples, discrete composite mislanes, etc.

546
01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:27.000
Why, specifically, was that methodology selected over the others?

547
01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:31.000
How were the results of the environmental sampling used in identifying?

548
01:10:31.000 --> 01:10:37.000
I am alternatives and identifying the select. I am so

549
01:10:37.000 --> 01:10:43.000
We did this free sampling during our phase one investigation.

550
01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:49.000
And for the because this isn't an rfi level investigation.

551
01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:53.000
We do take those samples and the results, and perform a risk assessment.

552
01:10:53.000 --> 01:11:08.000
But none of the levels of anything. found I did that's not part of the presentation, but I think we might have found some groundwater contamination, and maybe I don't believe we had anything soil wise

553
01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:16.000
that were above risk levels. but nothing was at the level that required a near term.

554
01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:21.000
That that proposed in your term unacceptable risk.

555
01:11:21.000 --> 01:11:30.000
Whereas we do have Mac that does so. the there were we further soil, sampling and criminal sampling taking place during the Rfi investigation.

556
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:45.000
And if there is any, you know exceedances that require addressing because of risk that those will be I I taken care of during the corrective measures for the Rfi.

557
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:51.000
Okay, what is the current agency confidence level Additionally, How do you account for T. O.

558
01:11:51.000 --> 01:12:06.000
At a test testing facility. If the munition item is not included in the classification database, then the Agc data evaluation for reducing the digs may miss items of interest.

559
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:15.000
Okay, that was long. What was the first, the first Oh, what is the current agency confidence level?

560
01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:25.000
Okay, Well, it depends on who you ask. but I I think at this site, because we're using it to refine our Csm.

561
01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:37.000
And and I i'm confident it but of course it's a tool that it does have limitations, for example, if you have items, and Richard addresses as well.

562
01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:41.000
That are the low that are deeper than your detection limits.

563
01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:54.000
So so that that can affect your confidence. and what your agency is telling you and it's now what was the second part about the target area.

564
01:12:54.000 --> 01:12:59.000
How do you account for? tis at a testing facility. Okay.

565
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:08.000
So the All of the items that we're finding here can be attributed to the historical operations at the site.

566
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:16.000
This the testing facility for Nasa. these are these are test fans like I mentioned blue origin.

567
01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:24.000
They have a test stand just west of our what of our site We there's also another test stand east of our site and

568
01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:36.000
They their activities. are don't are separate from the historical background, and we have websites where we do find munitions exposed to that concern at the site.

569
01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:50.000
But it's not historical. It might be like a toe missile. So that would not change our conceptual site model for the site, because we're our purposes to deal with the historical cleanup, and not was currently there because

570
01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:56.000
of present day activities. Alright, we only got a couple more minutes before the next presentation.

571
01:13:56.000 --> 01:14:00.000
I got 2 more questions here, so we're gonna go ahead and move on to the next question.

572
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:11.000
Can you describe the efficiency of Agc use on a disposal site where various metallic debris and multiple target? areas?

573
01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:16.000
So. yeah, I mean you've got things for Oh, is that is that there's more i'm sorry.

574
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:22.000
Oh, yeah, just a little bit more. Here is the use of Agc and the sites meant to identify potential.

575
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:28.000
Cwm. only so we're using acc with that purpose here.

576
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:34.000
We're using it to establish which items are possible.

577
01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:42.000
Cwm, and which are not so that we can as that can affect our inter measure activities.

578
01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:45.000
So that's that's how we're applying Apc.

579
01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:50.000
Right, and we do plan to do this at other sites on Redstone.

580
01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:57.000
We're just we're using it to help us just where to dig, because under Cdw.

581
01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:01.000
Un pro the calls, because Redstone has a lot of areas that are used.

582
01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:08.000
And you know, and all reduces our workload as far as the night operations and so on.

583
01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:12.000
Okay, we just ran out time. We had one last question. I think it would have been a long one to answer.

584
01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:20.000
But i'm gonna go and just read it anyways Could you please describe the rick was so part x requirements for treatment.

585
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:25.000
Disposal of Mac Md. and cwa burn pits, etc.

586
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:36.000
I think that's gonna be a long. answer so what we can do is maybe we can shelf that till after at the end of the presentations for 2 months later.

587
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:40.000
Okay, but that's all the questions so you did great job appreciate Dr.

588
01:15:40.000 --> 01:16:10.000
Mcdonald and we're gonna move on to our next present presentation, Julie Ancient, if you're go ahead and up your share screen, and you may proceed proceed when you're ready

589
01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:20.000
Everything looks great. sounds good. Okay, So today i'm gonna talk about

590
01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:23.000
The Yahoo Island target formally used to fence site.

591
01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:31.000
And we're gonna go through a a brief overview in the world history.

592
01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:34.000
The Csm. as it was devote throughout Theri

593
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:47.000
Some inconsistencies in the csm and then we're gonna talk about some csm elements that we didn't really fully consider in the Fs and dd and then this site's a little bit

594
01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:59.000
different, and that we are in the remial action phase So we've had some field work to this point and we'll talk about that, and some some possible revisions to the csm and lessons learned

595
01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:06.000
acronyms hopefully. Everybody's familiar with with most of these we will talk about M. P.

596
01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:12.000
H. or material present, potentially presenting an explosive hazard which I don't think we've talked about too much yet today.

597
01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:18.000
Other than that. I think most of these are pretty pretty standard.

598
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:23.000
So first of all, site overview the Oahu Island target.

599
01:17:23.000 --> 01:17:30.000
Floods property. is the entire property and we are going to specifically Talk about the target islands and surrounding waters and more us.

600
01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:37.000
That's about 57 acres and It's located off the northeast coast of Oahu.

601
01:17:37.000 --> 01:17:43.000
I initially the property prior to conducting the Ri.

602
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:51.000
Was the entire beige area that's shown here the 3 white color areas.

603
01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:57.000
That are called out are the the target islands and Ms.

604
01:17:57.000 --> 01:18:05.000
And then there's also a couple of features to point out here. There is a State recreation area right here.

605
01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:12.000
There is Ya. Point, which is a popular tourist stop off right here, and just for reference.

606
01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:22.000
If you you've been to this part of the Polynesian Cultural Center is sort of back here.

607
01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:27.000
Historically These These sites were used as bombing targets.

608
01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:35.000
They were the first island. Muku Ouya was also known as Goat Island, was least in May 1943.

609
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:42.000
There was a separate lease for the 3 target islands and our Ms.

610
01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:49.000
And in 1952. There was a surface clearance of this island.

611
01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:54.000
Here. it's the only one that has any soil on it.

612
01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:59.000
The the 3 target islands in our Ms. are are strictly rocks.

613
01:18:59.000 --> 01:19:07.000
And then in February, 1953. all of the islands were formally transferred back to this well with territory.

614
01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:14.000
At the time in the early eighties there was an eod clearance that was done around that northernmost island.

615
01:19:14.000 --> 01:19:23.000
It, which was primarily large bombs and it's made inch projectiles. 2,008.

616
01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:26.000
There was a site inspection for the mra.

617
01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:35.000
It was just visual inspection of the the islands, the 3 target islands that are in Rmrs.

618
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:39.000
Only Md. was observed. no metal fragments.

619
01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:45.000
There was swell scenes on goat island that didn't reveal any Mc.

620
01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:50.000
Contamination. But the the islands, the 3 islands in our target. Ms.

621
01:19:50.000 --> 01:20:00.000
Do not have any soil to sample So then we move on to the remedial investigation, and those field activities were conducted.

622
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.000
September, the mid October of 2,012

623
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:09.000
There was no further inspection of the islands themselves.

624
01:20:09.000 --> 01:20:18.000
The the The Ri consisted of some visual snorkel train sacks, side scanner and scuba transsex, which we'll talk more about in just a minute.

625
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:27.000
13 munitions Items were located and destroyed, 5 and 6 inch projectiles, £20 fragment bombs, and 3.5 inch rocket warheads.

626
01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:38.000
The highest. Mac density was estimated at about 3 items an acre, and at the conclusion of the or I the targeted islands and surrounding waters.

627
01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:41.000
Mr. S. was delineated out. that was initially

628
01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:53.000
There was a recommendation to do each island separately. but they were in the in combined, and the rest of the mra became no, no action

629
01:20:53.000 --> 01:21:00.000
In in a deep in a decision document. So for a visual of the the Ri investigation.

630
01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:10.000
This kind of beige area over here, which goes from shoreline to 12 feet deep, was gone with visual snorkel transacts.

631
01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:17.000
Out here in the blue. We did sideskin sonor

632
01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:24.000
And then, because that had trouble seeing up around the islands, they added 100 meter scuba transacts.

633
01:21:24.000 --> 01:21:32.000
That were more or less radially radial to the to the islands themselves.

634
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:43.000
But you can see they're not really evenly spaced and they're the the divers I'm sure had a very hard time staying in a straight line.

635
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:48.000
So for for the snorkel again up to 12 feet deep.

636
01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:58.000
And if there was sand they did do scuba diving to investigate that sand for the size cancel.

637
01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:03.000
Or they had some issues because of the the rough seas.

638
01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:07.000
At the time, like I said. this was done in September and October.

639
01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:14.000
Which is not the best time of year for weather. at this site.

640
01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:22.000
And so they ended up having to to change from a totary to a a whole mounted community.

641
01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:28.000
And then, like I said, they had to add those scuba transects.

642
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:34.000
They identified a 133 sonars center targets.

643
01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:40.000
And then they sent divers to investigate a 100% of those

644
01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:51.000
The other thing about the side skin, so in ours that the seas were so rough that they could not travel parallel to the islands they had to go into and out of the the waves.

645
01:22:51.000 --> 01:22:55.000
So that was another change to the the work plan.

646
01:22:55.000 --> 01:23:01.000
Going into this

647
01:23:01.000 --> 01:23:11.000
This is a visual of this size. gans zone or t oi you can see you know it's mostly the north south pattern that you would expect.

648
01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:17.000
And then here's what was identified as mek and Md.

649
01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:25.000
At the end of the Ri

650
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:46.000
Just a quick overview of what munitions were found, at which island this is, from moving from the north to the south, and then for Demo, they actually saved all of the items to do demo at the end of the field work

651
01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:57.000
they did all of them via low employees even though they had planned to do consolidation and that wasn't really fully explained in the Ri report.

652
01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:19.000
They. The other thing to note with this is that they had trouble identifying a lot of the items prior to conducting them, and used fragments that were left over for identification.

653
01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:25.000
So here we have our estimate and magnet city straight out of the Ri report.

654
01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:35.000
I'm not entirely sure. how they estimated This because it's mostly all of those those transacts that were certainly not even link-based, and they were more or less radial.

655
01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:43.000
So they somebody had to do something a little fancy with Cbsb to get this

656
01:24:43.000 --> 01:24:54.000
The major challenge during theri we're we're the sea conditions. fall it's starting to get into a really rough season.

657
01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:59.000
There's nothing at the site to break up waves as they're coming in.

658
01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:05.000
You know there's no reefs no no large reefs or anything.

659
01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:10.000
The wind speeds were 2023 miles an hour.

660
01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:19.000
Most of the time they were out there. that resulted in like 6 8 foot wind waves, and additional 3 or 4 foot swell.

661
01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:26.000
So that would be fairly rough conditions, and they had a really hard time.

662
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:39.000
Just getting through the or at that time of year so the i'm gonna run through the all right from Csm.

663
01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:44.000
Really quickly. just gonna highlight a few things really here, though.

664
01:25:44.000 --> 01:25:54.000
The Mrs boundaries. This is at the end of the Ri. our notional and based on fragmentation buffer areas for some merge munitions at 18 meters or more.

665
01:25:54.000 --> 01:26:00.000
I think that probably did not get updated from the Pre or Icsm.

666
01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:13.000
But that was just an interesting thing to note the physical profile, the the munitions themselves are ranging from the the shore of those 3 islands.

667
01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:19.000
Which goes to depth of about 5 meters just basically straight down.

668
01:26:19.000 --> 01:26:34.000
So minimum of fifth of, say 15 fetish 16 feetish of water out to about 15 meters at the edges of the defined Mr.

669
01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:43.000
S's. or did define Mr. s sorry they stated that no significant sand areas existed within the target islands.

670
01:26:43.000 --> 01:26:58.000
Ms there's reefs but not like they're They're mostly fish habitat They're not any like special reefs that a lot of people would want to be diving and looking at

671
01:26:58.000 --> 01:27:04.000
for the the lane. use and exposure. profile.

672
01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:14.000
This was. This is a very interesting one. During rare calm ocean periods. the sorry dial in may be accessed by swimmers, and this is considered a rare occurrence.

673
01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:21.000
They're only human receptors that they were considering were recreational users.

674
01:27:21.000 --> 01:27:35.000
And then for ecological there are endangered species. we've got green sea turtles Hawaiian monk seals There's some birds, of course, these islands are managed currently as barred

675
01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:47.000
sanctuaries, and then, during the migration season, their humpback wills off score of these islands.

676
01:27:47.000 --> 01:27:54.000
Uxo, and then B were discovered on the ocean polar surface.

677
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:59.000
Penetration of the flat rock is not anticipated and of course, there weren't a whole lot of sand areas.

678
01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:06.000
That they located, and then our our exposures can be direct contact.

679
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:22.000
But humans, while life with the editions on the sea floor there wasn't really any expectation that they were going to migrate as most of them were a fixed to the sea floor, unless you know somebody actually tried to release

680
01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:30.000
them, and then we get to the pathway. and we state that them Ms.

681
01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:37.000
Waters are frequented by a fisherman, that divers and snorkelers who may encounter ux on the C floor.

682
01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:43.000
So the pathway is complete. and Then for mc it it's an underwater environment.

683
01:28:43.000 --> 01:28:54.000
So they considered that one in complete something else. of note to to consider is when you move on to the Macco cause.

684
01:28:54.000 --> 01:29:04.000
Of course this this preceded the the risk matrices there's several things to think about with accessibility.

685
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:12.000
The distance to the islands themselves which you know they're 3 quarters to a mile offshore.

686
01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:17.000
To interact with those munitions. requires a boat, or just one that distance.

687
01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:24.000
And then once you get there, you've got to get down at least 1516 feet to get to the first munitions.

688
01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:38.000
There's also the possibility of dropping a boat anchor on on the uxo but and addition to that, it's not easy to get there in a boat.

689
01:29:38.000 --> 01:29:48.000
The nearest boat ran up 6 miles away, and it's kind of limiting vessel size, and in addition, what we found, c.

690
01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:55.000
State during most of the year. is not conducive to having smaller craft delivery.

691
01:29:55.000 --> 01:30:08.000
And so, for those reasons the The met call said that it was not frequented by large numbers of people, and under a baseline assessment

692
01:30:08.000 --> 01:30:21.000
The sites would be considered very limited accessibility but just because it's limited doesn't mean that nobody ever accesses the islands also as part of Theori.

693
01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:31.000
There were 3 interviews conducted. All 3 of those interviewees reported diving off of the coast of that southern island.

694
01:30:31.000 --> 01:30:45.000
Here, and one of them also stated that they they would dive and click items off the sea floor around the central one. and you can kind of see from this. Why,

695
01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:53.000
This island may be more accessible. just the distance is not quite so great.

696
01:30:53.000 --> 01:31:04.000
This. There's kind of a path here. and the the conditions make that a little less likely that people are gonna swim out there.

697
01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:22.000
So then, in the Fs really, we we considered land use controls as a general technology removal and then disposal with blue in place or consolidated shots, only using high explosives.

698
01:31:22.000 --> 01:31:40.000
And they did note that it's potentially destructive of the coral and that potentially we might have to do a bit if items are unsafe to move or affixed to the sea floor

699
01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:45.000
but otherwise the preference was going to be for Consolidated shots.

700
01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:56.000
For errors just of note there's the endanger space exact marine mammals Hawaii regulations on stony corals and live rocks.

701
01:31:56.000 --> 01:32:04.000
So what's to consider there in the fs the actual alternatives, or we had no action.

702
01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:10.000
Lane use controls only surface and subsurface. Mac removal with Leny's controls.

703
01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:18.000
And there was also a fourth alternative: which was for ue that was considered to not be implementable.

704
01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:28.000
Alternative 3 again. if Max deemed unsafe to move, it would be bit otherwise.

705
01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:36.000
Or if it would damage lab rock or coral it would be left in place and and not destroyed.

706
01:32:36.000 --> 01:32:51.000
The goal 100% removal. And there is this little thing over here about demo phase will require coordination.

707
01:32:51.000 --> 01:33:02.000
With all these people. which turned out to be a little bit more difficult than I think was anticipated.

708
01:33:02.000 --> 01:33:10.000
So in the Dd. the selected remedy is Mac removal from the surface and subsurface of the sea floor and walks

709
01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:27.000
No further investigation of the islands and then to implement a lane use control program with signs and safety education, and our Rio was to provide protection to human health by reducing or mitigating the potential hazards posed by mech associated

710
01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:36.000
with reasonably anticipated future use. So also in the Dd.

711
01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:51.000
In the executive summary we're still talking about recreational uses, including primitive camping and rustic cabins for rent which is clearly still talking about the state state recreation area that was part

712
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:58.000
of the Mri, but not the Mr. s but the dd doesn't make any distinction there.

713
01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:12.000
We're talking about site visitors for the first time. with no, no, no mention of what those site visitors are actually doing, or how they would would interact with munitions on the C floor.

714
01:34:12.000 --> 01:34:16.000
And we start talking about scuba divers being at the site.

715
01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:32.000
We also note that this the amarasis open to the public, which is true, and that it's heavily used, which completely contradicts what's in the the risk assessment portion of the ra and then

716
01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:40.000
finally It also includes subsurface c. floor munitions.

717
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:45.000
And we we state that they could migrate v inactral processes.

718
01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:52.000
So somehow between the Ri and the Dd. that that also managed to change.

719
01:34:52.000 --> 01:35:00.000
So that brings us to the the regional action. That, was the the latest action at the site.

720
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:05.000
And we. So the goal was obviously to implement the remedy.

721
01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:11.000
We installed signs at the State recreation area and distributed educational materials.

722
01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:17.000
Completed a survey of the Mrs boundaries, which identified 215, and Pp.

723
01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:23.000
H, including some much larger bombs that had had been dropped from the Csm.

724
01:35:23.000 --> 01:35:40.000
In the Uri, and then we pilot tested of a Vulcan Low order, Deflation Disposal Method Project stakeholders uses Honolulu and Huntsville design center.

725
01:35:40.000 --> 01:35:46.000
We had the Hawaii Department of Health, and then the Hawaii department of Land and Natural resources.

726
01:35:46.000 --> 01:35:54.000
Which manages that property. and then we had no nimps.

727
01:35:54.000 --> 01:36:09.000
So for the remial action approach We conducted instrument assisted diver diver surveys over the entirety of the defined Mrs is around the islands.

728
01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:12.000
That was conducted. March through October 2019

729
01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:25.000
We took a break for 2020, when Hawaii was locked down for Covid, and then started again in March through May of 2021

730
01:36:25.000 --> 01:36:43.000
The divers had, you know, divorced propulsion and analog detectors, and sharp marine Gps equipment the dive teams were were 5 had 5 members one in the water and 4 on a

731
01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:49.000
service providing support they launched an inflatable boats from the shore.

732
01:36:49.000 --> 01:36:55.000
For the most part and then the divers swam the transsex

733
01:36:55.000 --> 01:37:03.000
If they found an item. They stopped, investigated to pictures of both the item and the surrounding area.

734
01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:09.000
To see. you know what all sensitive species may be around it.

735
01:37:09.000 --> 01:37:16.000
Of note. They found a lot of heavy marine groups on the munitions, and so they use the best.

736
01:37:16.000 --> 01:37:25.000
Guess at identifying munitions based on measurements and historical knowledge, and also of note.

737
01:37:25.000 --> 01:37:32.000
They ended up having to be ready, or any of 7 days a week due to the C.

738
01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:42.000
States, because, even though they were conducting operations in the summertime, when it's calmer, that doesn't mean it's actually calm.

739
01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:46.000
Most of the time. summer is also hurricane season.

740
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:53.000
And it does not take a full hurricane to calls the site to get pretty rough.

741
01:37:53.000 --> 01:38:00.000
Just a normal summer storm or a low pressure system is pulling you to do that.

742
01:38:00.000 --> 01:38:09.000
So our biggest problem as you might guess, was being able to do demo on these items.

743
01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:17.000
That were found. as soon as we got into the Spp meetings with with all the stakeholders.

744
01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:24.000
They started raising concerns about using high explosives.

745
01:38:24.000 --> 01:38:31.000
The originally proposed method of Demo was to put a bubble curtain around the items.

746
01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:51.000
The stakeholders didn't think that there was enough information on how much of an impact that bubble curtain would have and lowering the the explosive effects.

747
01:38:51.000 --> 01:38:57.000
So while we were working on trying to figure out that piece of it to give them more information,

748
01:38:57.000 --> 01:39:06.000
The the contractor actually decided that if it might not be terribly effective to use a bubble curtain anyway.

749
01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:16.000
So we we planted on that idea and started looking for another another option.

750
01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:25.000
Additionally our our oes, and our closest 50 people fault that you know.

751
01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:31.000
Moving Mp. Ph. that was sent submitted to the c floor might not be ideal for something like consolidation.

752
01:39:31.000 --> 01:39:42.000
And there's no way. land within the umrs that's really suitable to conduct and consolidated shots out of the water.

753
01:39:42.000 --> 01:39:52.000
So that really wasn't an option and so demo operations were defined until the Pdt.

754
01:39:52.000 --> 01:40:04.000
Could reach agreement on suitable demo methods. We did eventually gain concurrency on proceeding with the Vulcan system, which does works through deflation without that nation.

755
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:11.000
And that actually ended up being limited by the the field season.

756
01:40:11.000 --> 01:40:17.000
So results so far. for the remedial action.

757
01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:23.000
The dive teams have surveyed all of the the defined atmospheres.

758
01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:33.000
They they found 215, and P. Ph. that were identified, which works out to about 4 items an acre which is considerably more than the R.

759
01:40:33.000 --> 01:40:39.000
I would have predicted and the density was up to about 16 items an acre.

760
01:40:39.000 --> 01:40:44.000
We did conduct that pilot shot with the Vulcan system, which was very successful.

761
01:40:44.000 --> 01:40:51.000
And then we had one other demo event in 2021 before the the weather.

762
01:40:51.000 --> 01:41:03.000
Conditions just got too bad to do anything else. And these pictures are just because most of the time the site is really rough, but you can also see in these.

763
01:41:03.000 --> 01:41:11.000
It can, it can spread out, and how people might actually be able to get out to these these sites.

764
01:41:11.000 --> 01:41:18.000
We did identify additional types of Mp. Ph: quite a few actually

765
01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:27.000
And the survey results indicated that there's certainly potential for more to be outside of the currently defined boundaries.

766
01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:34.000
Including there was a 5 inch projectile that a divergence happened to pass it for.

767
01:41:34.000 --> 01:41:38.000
When he got washed out of up one of his transactions.

768
01:41:38.000 --> 01:41:50.000
So just visually, very quickly. these are the the finds for me to the islands moving north to south.

769
01:41:50.000 --> 01:42:01.000
And you can see you know we're up very close to the boundary on all of these and that's the the 5 inch projectile that was found outside.

770
01:42:01.000 --> 01:42:05.000
But there's there's quite a bit around the the boundaries there.

771
01:42:05.000 --> 01:42:18.000
Just quickly the types, and what was found where the larger bombs were all in the north, which is where that eod operation was conducted in the eighties.

772
01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:24.000
And then you know things that we were expecting more or less.

773
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:29.000
The moving further to the south. This is the revised Csm.

774
01:42:29.000 --> 01:42:34.000
Out of the draft on unreviewed by the Pdt.

775
01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:39.000
Site specifically final report from the the current action.

776
01:42:39.000 --> 01:42:48.000
And you can see that. we are sort of moving towards getting this refined a little bit.

777
01:42:48.000 --> 01:43:04.000
Added the the additional types potential types of Mac we did start talking about Meg being submitted to the sea floor and embedded in coral which is the the typical way that it's going to be found very

778
01:43:04.000 --> 01:43:09.000
low potential for migration, and the sandwiches aren't really a big big issue.

779
01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:15.000
They're they're shallow but we still have scuba divers and our our receptors.

780
01:43:15.000 --> 01:43:21.000
And we still got site visitors and We still haven't explained what they're doing.

781
01:43:21.000 --> 01:43:39.000
So what did we learn? that at the conclusion of the ri the Csm wasn't really consistent for land use receptors or exposure profile, and that really could have been solved by just

782
01:43:39.000 --> 01:43:49.000
making sure, when it the Csm. was updated when the site was delineated, that we were being existent for what's inside the new Mrs versus what's outside of it?

783
01:43:49.000 --> 01:44:06.000
It didn't fully capture nature or extent and then it also sort of glossed over some of those conditions that could be expected for remedial action, such as whether in C state which in your I and the fs they just

784
01:44:06.000 --> 01:44:13.000
basically said the weather's better in the summer so it'll be It'll be great just do it then.

785
01:44:13.000 --> 01:44:20.000
And then we didn't really fully consider a productive species especially the monks.

786
01:44:20.000 --> 01:44:28.000
Ill that lives in the area. Yeah, We didn't think about things like repeated exposures.

787
01:44:28.000 --> 01:44:40.000
And how we were gonna enforce an exclusion zone for those species just a little bit different than trying to do it for people.

788
01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:50.000
The remial alternatives analysis in the fs we didn't really consider the full csm like I said, How are you gonna enforce that?

789
01:44:50.000 --> 01:45:04.000
That exclusions zone is it really realistic to say we're gonna consolidate things that are primarily, if not all, affixed to this sea floor.

790
01:45:04.000 --> 01:45:14.000
And you know we didn't really talk to the stakeholders until we got to the remedial action, and then we tried to to take care of those those concerns.

791
01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:19.000
It might have been better to do it ahead of time, and finally

792
01:45:19.000 --> 01:45:25.000
If we had conducted the Pre Rfp. Project scoping Spp meetings to reach consensus on the Csm.

793
01:45:25.000 --> 01:45:30.000
And Dqos that probably would have helped the Pdf.

794
01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:35.000
Recognize most of those problems before we we got to releasing a contract.

795
01:45:35.000 --> 01:45:44.000
And it, it would have likely made the process quite a bit smoother and that's the end.

796
01:45:44.000 --> 01:45:48.000
Thank you very much, Julie. That was really really great.

797
01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:55.000
Well, we have I got about 8 questions or so here lined up for you. so let's go ahead and knock these out.

798
01:45:55.000 --> 01:46:07.000
Let's see the first one here. is what is a visual snorkel trip transaction is there any underwater video or photos taken as part of that.

799
01:46:07.000 --> 01:46:18.000
There's not a vision. Okay, So a visual snorkel transact is someone snorkeling visually looking at the ocean floor?

800
01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:23.000
It it wasn't instrument assisted or anything of that nature.

801
01:46:23.000 --> 01:46:30.000
I don't know about video I was not part of the Pdt: at that point.

802
01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:34.000
Okay, did you do investigation below the sediment surface?

803
01:46:34.000 --> 01:46:42.000
If so, how deep They did go down and investigate

804
01:46:42.000 --> 01:46:50.000
Any sand covered areas. those 4 of the ocean at this location is basically just bedrock.

805
01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:57.000
I mean it's there's not much on it unless there's a depression, and then there there may be a bit of sand.

806
01:46:57.000 --> 01:47:03.000
It's a highly dynamic environment. so there's not much that that can settle there.

807
01:47:03.000 --> 01:47:10.000
Okay, was the sight. Seated in advance of side scanned Sonar survey.

808
01:47:10.000 --> 01:47:18.000
How were the seats deployed? I don't know the answer to that question?

809
01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:23.000
Like. I said I was not part of the the Ri team. and no one that's currently on the the Pdd.

810
01:47:23.000 --> 01:47:31.000
Was involved with that. Okay, did you consider postponing the Ai work till whether was better?

811
01:47:31.000 --> 01:47:44.000
Was that the ri work or the r a work I don't know like I said I I don't know if they considered postponing or not

812
01:47:44.000 --> 01:47:53.000
It. It would perhaps have given them a better idea of what conditions to expect if they had tried to do it at a a more ideal time.

813
01:47:53.000 --> 01:48:06.000
But I I again I don't know the answer to that Okay, is the area where side skins are only was used, considered a data gap.

814
01:48:06.000 --> 01:48:21.000
It was not at the time. No. Okay, So these other ones here discuss a private contractor that has access to Vulcan technology.

815
01:48:21.000 --> 01:48:27.000
And as data to support the minimal environmental impact of low order, defication techniques.

816
01:48:27.000 --> 01:48:30.000
I can't sit here and talk about a private contractor.

817
01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:35.000
That would be I should say advertising for them.

818
01:48:35.000 --> 01:48:41.000
So I can build. I don't feel comfortable about reading the these next questions, because they bring up this contractor in here.

819
01:48:41.000 --> 01:48:47.000
Of that. What we have here so many things for a great session.

820
01:48:47.000 --> 01:48:53.000
You know. Thanks for hosting all this stuff so that's all the questions I really have for you.

821
01:48:53.000 --> 01:48:58.000
But I do. If Dr. Mcdonald is still on we can.

822
01:48:58.000 --> 01:49:01.000
I got one question for her if we can switch over to her.

823
01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:10.000
Okay, for the last question. Could you please to speak the Rick Rest Subpart X requirements for treatment.

824
01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:15.000
Disposal of mech md cw it's I guess a Cwm.

825
01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:22.000
They put C. W. A. but cwm burn pits and etc. Yes, so

826
01:49:22.000 --> 01:49:27.000
If we have conventional met items sounded a site.

827
01:49:27.000 --> 01:49:34.000
Our contractor disclosures of those items if we have which we haven't found any yet at Red phone.

828
01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:40.000
But if we have a Cwm. item, then the Government would make that.

829
01:49:40.000 --> 01:49:46.000
Those are initially once they're once they're assessed, and you see it, Ram, there's a big long process for that.

830
01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:51.000
Then the Government would be responsible for the destruction of those items.

831
01:49:51.000 --> 01:50:05.000
And then we have the white phosphorus which is kind of the in between. that we're trying to work, through, and likely what ultimately would happen at Redstone is we will have destruction technology we are

832
01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:11.000
permitted for an electrostatic or an ebs detonation chamber.

833
01:50:11.000 --> 01:50:16.000
We don't have one yet at rest though because we haven't started to.

834
01:50:16.000 --> 01:50:31.000
We're just marshall 3 is our first inter measure site. where we're doing in removing items to be that might be needed that the the destruction technology might be before So hope that answers everything hope So Okay,

835
01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:37.000
this is last call for questions, so we've got about 5 min before the end of session.

836
01:50:37.000 --> 01:50:43.000
So we've got the 3 instructors still online Any questions at all from anybody just type in the Qa.

837
01:50:43.000 --> 01:50:50.000
We can get it answered, if nobody has any questions, and we will go ahead and close this out.

838
01:50:50.000 --> 01:50:55.000
And Jeff. this is Jean i'll just offer a quick suggestion to the audience.

839
01:50:55.000 --> 01:51:07.000
If they have no questions, they can also send that message into the Q A. and confirm that they are thoroughly satisfied with our time usage, and that they don't have any additional questions for our instructors you can also drop

840
01:51:07.000 --> 01:51:14.000
that on the Q. A. And while we wait, do you mind if I pull up that reminder for our next session?

841
01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:24.000
Oh, please!

842
01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:27.000
Alright, as you can see on the screen. Now, this is the next upcoming webinar.

843
01:51:27.000 --> 01:51:34.000
Go ahead and put on your calendars if you haven't Seen the invite that was sent out through multiple agencies.

844
01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:40.000
And if not, just keep a keep, a look on and you could find it.

845
01:51:40.000 --> 01:51:43.000
There that's where you have to register was just like this one.

846
01:51:43.000 --> 01:51:49.000
So that's all I have I like getting like think our presenters. Mr. Perry, Dr.

847
01:51:49.000 --> 01:51:55.000
Mcdonald, and and change and thank you all for putting on a great presentation today.

848
01:51:55.000 --> 01:52:04.000
Did very well I Don't think I've had instructors Be that on time for everything Well done, and i'm gonna turn that over to Jean Alright.

849
01:52:04.000 --> 01:52:13.000
Thank you so very much, Jeff. and I echo your thanks to each of our presenters for offering their expertise and and staying right to schedule for today's session.

850
01:52:13.000 --> 01:52:18.000
I also want to thank the over 170 in individuals who joined us for today's live session.

851
01:52:18.000 --> 01:52:25.000
We really appreciated you. taking time out of your busy schedules, and sharing your questions and comments for our presenters today.

852
01:52:25.000 --> 01:52:31.000
We hope that you can join us on a future webinar remember we're offering these through the cleanup information network at Kuwan Org.

853
01:52:31.000 --> 01:52:38.000
So I encourage you to visit us there and sign up for our free monthly Newsletter tech direct, which I send out on the first of each month.

854
01:52:38.000 --> 01:52:50.000

855
01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:59.000
us late. Remember there is a seminar home page that has been dedicated for this particular session, with information about our speakers as well as links to download their presentation material.

856
01:52:59.000 --> 01:53:05.000
So it's shown here in red on this url here. so you can bookmark that and save it.

857
01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:08.000
It's the same website that you went to when signing up.

858
01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:12.000
It's the same website that you went to when red when checking in for today.

859
01:53:12.000 --> 01:53:21.000
It's the same website that we would have included in all of your reminder emails as well. So if you're looking for copies of those presentation materials, you will find it there on the seminar homepage

860
01:53:21.000 --> 01:53:34.000
and I do often get asked if we offer ceos or pdhs for participation in our session, and I don't offer those types of credit hours. But I can provide you with a webinar certificate So if you fill out the

861
01:53:34.000 --> 01:53:38.000
online feedback form which is accessible from the seminar homepage.

862
01:53:38.000 --> 01:53:48.000
You'll be a box at the very bottom of that feedback form as long as you check that box to certify you were here for the entire live session, and then submit your feedback.

863
01:53:48.000 --> 01:53:52.000
Form you'll immediately have access to a participation certificate.

864
01:53:52.000 --> 01:53:54.000
You can then save or print out for your own records.

865
01:53:54.000 --> 01:53:59.000
We will also email a copy of it to you. But I do know some times junk or spam filters will block those emails.

866
01:53:59.000 --> 01:54:04.000
So I encourage that. you download it from that confirmation screen right when you submit your feedback form.

867
01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:12.000
If you happen to have multiple people participating from your particular location, each person can fill out that feedback form, even if they didn't register individually.

868
01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:22.000
So if you are the one who signed the group up, I encourage you to go ahead and copy the website to the seminar home page and then share that with your colleague, so that they can fill out their own feedback and get their own

869
01:54:22.000 --> 01:54:25.000
certificate, and I do read each and every one of these forms.

870
01:54:25.000 --> 01:54:32.000
We really do count on and appreciate your insights to help us to continue to improve our webinars.

871
01:54:32.000 --> 01:54:37.000
So again, just a quick, gentle reminder that that some in our homepage is available from today forward.

872
01:54:37.000 --> 01:54:48.000
If you happen to be one of the lucky people watching the recorded version of today's webinar right about now, somewhere over my head in the upper right corner in the online version, you'll also see a link to that very same

873
01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:52.000
feedback form. You can click that button. fill out feedback based off of your replay.

874
01:54:52.000 --> 01:54:55.000
Vr. Archive again, noting that you'll need to check that box certifying you.

875
01:54:55.000 --> 01:55:01.000
Watch the whole thing, and then you 2 can get a participation certificate based off of your replay for your own records.

876
01:55:01.000 --> 01:55:09.000
Our recording should be available in about one week You'll automatically get an email for me as soon as that Archive is available for on-demand playback.

877
01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:14.000
So with that reaching our scheduled end time, I have concluded all of my final reminders.

878
01:55:14.000 --> 01:55:31.000
So just one great big thank you to you all for joining us and we'll go ahead and formally conclude today's live broadcast.
