Three survey methods are being used a magnetometer, ground conductivity meter and face. Chemical results from the soil sampling effort didnt indicate any contaminants at significant concentrations, however, those results could not rule out any buried material given the EM-3- 1 EM-0- 1 metal detector.

If a need for any site cleanup is determined this could delay the process of a land Jose Gallegos from White Sands is new to the project and was on site to gain an understanding of the area and the process they are involved in. He said transfer. Cross said the two processes after the testing is completed and if there is a problem with the have been running concurrently, but there are a lot of steps involved in the transfer process. There are a lot of different entities and hierachies involved and you never know who might come out of the woodwork, but at the present time Green River City is the only one who has expressed a real interest in the site. It was also pointed out that the acreage beyond the 40 acre cantonment area is a combination of Bureau of Land Management, state property and army property. The army has had a buried debris that excavation could be a possible alternative or a soil cap. If the buried debris does not present a problem then the project team will be able to inform a future occupant of the site of its whereabouts and the extent of the debris with the findings from the geophysical sur- Jerry Cross from the EPA has been involved with the project from the beginning, he stated that if they were to dig up batteries or barrels they would have a more serious situation than if household garbage was the only thingburied. Well just have to look and see whats in there and the geophysical testing was an easier way to determine where the debris is than just random digging. vF qy The engineers are awaiting the results of the site inspection re- findings.
