Project Activities
Preliminary Efforts
- Bulk sediment sampling conducted April 19 at both locations.
- Sediments being analyzed to determine the physical characteristics and type of contaminants present.
- Sediments distributed to cooperating organizations evaluating particular cap technologies.
Project Activities: January-June 2002
- Receive phase-one funds ($2.25 million).
- Define tentative technologies for demonstration.
- Negotiate and process laboratory testing subcontracts.
- Initiate laboratory "treatability" tests:
- Demonstrate that proposed technologies have positive effects and limited negative impacts under water and sediment conditions of the Anacostia River.
- Plan for studies to be parallel with field work to identify metrics for evaluation of field effectiveness and improve process understanding.
- Negotiate and process prime field contracting agreement.
Project Plans: June-December 2002
- Develop a site characterization work plan.
- Distribute a work plan for review and comment.
- Initiate site characterization.
- Report preliminary conclusions on lab treatability studies.
- Develop a preliminary field construction design.
- Coordinate with cooperating sources of support (EPA SITE program third party evaluation and Department of Defense Environmental Security Technology Certification Program).
