Demonstration of New Tools for Improved Source and Recontamination Potential Assessment ESTCP Project ER 201432, Version 2
Abstract
The objective of this project was to demonstrate a family of technologies adapted from the oceanographic and environmental arenas that could significantly improve our ability to address contaminant source exposure, transport and fate challenges at Department of Defense (DoD)coastal site in a relatively simple and cost effective way. Through the integration of these technologies, our goal was to develop and demonstrate a spectrum of new capabilities. Our demonstration focused on three key products including: 2. Drifting Exposure System (DrEx): Surface global positioning system (GPS) drifter with position data telemetry, composite sample collection and passive sampler capabilities for exposure characterization. 1. Drifting Particle Simulator (DPS): GPS drifter with position data telemetry, buoyancy control, bottom detection, and passive sampling capability for measurement of depositional footprints and sampling of source related particles. 3.Sediment Deposition Detector (SeDep): Sediment bed scour sensor with high resolution differential pressure sensor, shore cable or in situ data logging, and coupled sediment trap capabilities for simultaneous quantitative measurement of deposition rates and sampling of depositing particles. We envision that these technologies will provide a broad new set of capabilities that are highly applicable to characterizing the exposure, transport and fate of stormwater contaminant sources.
