1 Triad Issue Paper: Using Geophysical Tools to Develop the Conceptual Site Model December 2008 PURPOSE AND AUDIENCE This technology bulletin explains how hazardouswaste site professionals can use geophysical tools to provide information about subsurface conditions to create a more representative conceptual site model (CSM). The CSM is a tool for gaining a synergistic understanding of the site, improve cost effectiveness, and improve decision-making within the Triad approach. Geophysical tools can be applied to create more robust CSMs with more complete data sets that result in a more representative and accurate depiction of the site characteristics at Brownfields and other hazardous waste sites. 1. GEOPHYSICS AND THE TRIAD APPROACH The Triad approach (www.triadcentral.org) blends traditional analytical laboratory data (using strict data quality assurances) with rapid turnaround field methods to streamline the site assessment and cleanup process without sacrificing overall data quality. Geophysical tools may fit into the Triad approach as a rapid turnaround field method that has value throughout the site characterization process from initial scoping though monitoring of remedial processes, and post-remediation monitoring. Relatively low-cost geophysical surveys can streamline the site assessment process and lead to higher information value by providing a more complete data-set. Other available field methods include, but are not limited to, direct push technologies, X-ray fluorescence, field-portable gas chromatography, and immunoassay kits. Inhalation Water table professionals are realizing the full benefits of characterizing sites using geophysical tools during all phases of site investigation. Geophysical tools use non-invasive or invasive investigative techniques for measuring and interpreting material physical properties to determine subsurface conditions. The investigative tools can be as simple as a metal detection sweep; or as comprehensive as full site digital data collection of thousands of georeferenced data points collected with global positioning system (GPS) survey equipment, and integrated into what geologists may call a (sitespecific, near-surface) Common Earth Model (CEM) or Shared Earth Model. The CEM can be a key piece of the CSM. The CEM is a quantitative subsurface model depicting all known data, which is continuously Ingestion Ground water flow Exposure point Prevailing wind direction Inhalation Transport Medium (air) Transport Medium (soil) Release mechanism (volatilization) Waste (Source) Transport medium (ground water) The use of applied geophysics for subsurface investigation dates back to the mid-19th century. By the early- to mid-20th century, geophysics became the primary method for mining and petroleum exploration. Over the past several decades, geophysics has increasingly been adopted for environmental site-management and decision-making. Today, environmental site Figure 1: A Simplified Conceptual Site Model. Site investigation and CSM design assess the viability of exposure pathways from contaminant release points to human and environmental receptors. Shown here are potential exposure concerns from transport mechanisms including air, soil, and groundwater, which may lead to contaminant concerns with indoor air and drinking water. The usefulness of a CSM is in generating consensus and assisting with site-closure decisions by depicting a model representative of all data known about a site.

2 edited and refined as the collection of new field data proceeds. The CSM is a central element of the Triad approach and any successful site cleanup. The CSM presents all of the relevant data collected at the site, and is not limited to the product the geologist may deliver as a CEM. There is no prescribed format for the CSM. Information may be presented in various graphical or textual formats with more than one possible representation for a given site, where each component represents a different facet of the site characteristics. For example, Figure 1 depicts a simplified graphical CSM that shows contamination sources, pathways, and receptors. A more complex CSM representing the final synthesis of data collection at a site is shown in Figure 2. Each of these CSMs represents different site characteristics and levels of complexity; however, each one is valuable in communicating information about the site. involved in the site, including technical staff and private citizens, reference the CSM for a clear understanding of site conditions and dynamics. The CSM is updated as the project team processes site data and the understanding of site conditions evolve. Updating the CSM continuously is a means of maximizing value obtained through data collection efforts. Site professionals use geophysical survey data to direct invasive sampling efforts and contribute to the CSM by providing information about subsurface conditions and through the sampling strategy. Often the geophysicist is not the person responsible for overall CSM development and maintenance and, therefore, communication between the geophysicist conducting surveys and the CSM developer is crucial. Without clear communication, the CSM, and all of its dependent stakeholders, will not benefit from the added value of geophysical tools. The CSM provides an interpretation tool, acts as a communication device, identifies gaps where more information is needed, and can be a tool to direct future work (Crumbling 2001). All stakeholders Figure 2: Poudre River Case Study Conceptual Site Model Cross-Section. Electromagnetic and resistivity geophysical surveys were used in conjunction with site characterization tools to map subsurface conditions across the site; including definition of the bedrock surface and identification of the presence or absence of preferential pathways such as bedrock fractures, subsurface channels in alluvium, and underground pipelines. Geophysical data aids the preparation of a more robust CSM. The updated CSM is then used to make decisions about characterization strategy and sampling design, and to assess site concerns related to human health and environmental cleanup.

3 2. GEOPHYSICS WITHIN A COLLABORATIVE DATA MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The Triad approach minimizes sampling and analytical uncertainty by leveraging the strengths of each type of analysis in the CSM toolbox. Collaborative data management is a central part of this goal. In order to maximize project costeffectiveness and efficiency, less expensive field methods are coupled with high-precision analytical methods. Multiple lines of evidence may be developed, with the field methods efficiently covering large spatial areas, and the highly precise analytical methods confirming the results. To understand and manage the relationship between these two data sources, data are classified into operational groups: (1) data for rapid initial CSM development, and (2) data to manage analytical uncertainty. Geophysical data can be used to guide sampling (drilling, etc.), and as a layer of subsurface information in the CSM that can help classify information into the proper risk context for decision-making. Other sampling methods are used to ground-truth the CSM geophysical survey data. Furthermore, the use of geophysics in CSM development may be broken down into two distinct types of uses: (1) as an initial characterization tool for getting a basic understanding of site s physical characteristics, or as a continuation of this use, and (2) as a tool to gain a synergistic understanding of the site. Each of these uses is discussed in detail in the following sections. No matter the application, the fundamental goal of using geophysical tools in CSM development is to obtain the most information from available site resources and direct sampling to maximize coverage and cost-effectiveness. A synergistic understanding may lead to using collaborative strategies throughout the cleanup, monitoring, and closure process; so it is important to think of using geophysics beyond the assessment phase of site cleanup. 2.1 Initial Characterizations Using Geophysics Using geophysical tools during an initial characterization is an intuitive process offering rapid insight to subsurface physical properties. When used in this capacity, often only limited amounts of data have already been collected onsite. Data are usually collected in one or two field mobilizations, and geophysical data add detail to the overall CSM. The goal of the initial characterization may be defining site geology (highly porous and permeable channels, fractures, clay layers, etc.), locating buried objects (drums, underground storage tanks, etc), or mapping utilities. The results present a framework around which the CSM is constructed, or identify gaps or uncertainties in the initial CSM that must then be addressed. 2.2 A Synergistic Approach Using Geophysics In many initial characterizations, the goal of the geophysical survey is achieved when a target is identified and site investigation can proceed to invasive sampling methods. This scope of work is appropriate at some sites, and no further geophysical investigations may be warranted. For example, a site assessment using geophysics may uncover locations where drums are buried and excavation can proceed accordingly. However, in other cases, an initial geophysical survey may only be the first step in a broader geophysical investigation for continual CSM refinement. This CSM-building approach requires a broader scope of work. Rather than using geophysical methods in the one-time contribution described above, geophysical tools should be used in conjunction with sampling to strategically collect samples, compare analytical data with geophysical results, and repeat the process as necessary. At sites where monitoring wells are used for sampling, an example of this iterative approach may be to: (1) carry out an initial characterization to identify well placement locations, (2) compare sample analytical data, borehole geophysical data, and well log information to initial geophysical data, and (3) place additional monitoring wells based on the collaborative data sets and any additional characterization surveys necessary. This approach produces a more complete picture of the site by leveraging the data from each step of the process. Because data are ground-truthed through collaborative analysis, the features observed in the geophysical data set may be attributed to subsurface properties with a higher level of confidence. A result can be increased confidence in the characterization of a contaminant plume or preferential flow pathway. The collaborative analysis may identify additional areas of concern and the iterative process takes over each time resulting in a better understanding of the geophysical data and how it relates to characteristics at that particular site.

4 2.3 Real-time Analysis and a Dynamic Work Strategy In accordance with the Triad s incorporation of dynamic work strategies, survey design must be flexible to accommodate data results as they become available. Data are often available from geophysical surveys before the processing and modeling that follows a field mobilization effort. Efforts should be made to use these data products to direct and adapt the ongoing geophysical survey. However, generally speaking, geophysical methods are not truly realtime field screening techniques. Most methods require complex processing routines and strict scrutiny for a reliable, final interpretation. Data reviewed in the field are useful for providing a roughcut idea of the final results and generally should not be taken as a final product. Whenever possible, data should be ground-truthed to verify any modeling or interpretation before preparing the final product. For example, data from resistivity profiling that require inversion can be considered in the field by processing data immediately after collection on a field computer. Although the models generated during field data processing may not be of high enough confidence to include in a final report, these data often provide sufficient information to immediately direct additional field surveys without the expense of an additional field mobilization. 2.4 Cost Projects that follow the Triad approach have demonstrated an overall project cost savings of up to fifty percent over traditional management approaches (Crumbling et al 2001). The dynamic and continually evolving CSM created through the use of geophysical tools contributes significantly to this savings through improved site characterization that results in a more effective remediation and/or management plan. Although overall project costs are significantly decreased with the creation of an accurate CSM, the initial costs of site investigation may be higher than traditional approaches, potentially creating an administrative hurdle when initiating a geophysical investigation for CSM development. It is important to remember that investing in CSM development using the most appropriate geophysical tools will pay off by providing a clearer understanding of the site dynamics and result in an improved, cost-effective, site-specific assessment or remedy designed. The actual cost of a geophysical investigation varies with the type and scale of the survey being conducted. Instrument specifics, terrain, labor requirements, size of survey, grid spacing, and other elements will all contribute to survey costs. Standard equipment rental prices can vary from less than $100 per day to over $250 per day, but these estimates do not include other mobilization and data interpretation costs and generally do not include the necessary processing software, which may be costly for some instruments. In most instances, a contractor is used to provide geophysical services and expertise. One day of work from a contractor using standard geophysical equipment may start at around $1,500 and may rise significantly depending upon survey specifics. These costs may be comparable to one day of drilling; however, the benefits of a drilling program supported by geophysical services may far outweigh the value of data from drilling alone by both guiding the drilling operation and potentially minimizing the number of required borings. 3. CHOOSING THE RIGHT TOOLS The sections below provide environmental site professionals with a general understanding of different geophysical methods and the basics for carrying out a survey. A knowledgeable and experienced geophysicist should always conduct each step of a geophysical survey, from planning to interpretation, and should contribute to the Systematic Project Planning (SPP) concept using a dynamic work strategy approach. While geophysics offers great promise in overall project cost savings and improved data coverage, poor planning and communication will result in wasted money or data that contribute little value to achieving overall objectives. Planning for a successful survey requires a working knowledge of various methods and a clear understanding of project objectives by all stakeholders. Even though geophysics may be used in the earliest stages of the CSM development, choosing the appropriate tools to use at a site requires some understanding of the physical properties of the site that are expected to affect geophysical measurements. For example, ground penetrating radar (GPR) is often employed in an attempt to locate buried drums; however, this method is not suitable for use in many clayey soils that exhibit a high cation exchange capacity (CEC), because the CEC of the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency F
5 clay quickly attenuates the radar signal. Another common problem is buried electrical utilities. An electrical geophysical method may be the perfect tool for a specific problem, but electrical utilities may preclude its use at a site depending on the survey objectives and survey geometry. There is no onesize-fits-all approach for geophysical investigations, and each site will inevitably have a scientificallybased, site-specific work plan. The level of knowledge of site characteristics needed before conducting a geophysical survey will vary with the investigation s goals and the scale of the project. No matter what tools are chosen, the most comprehensive data sets are born through the integration of several methods (Haeni et al 2001, Shapiro et al 1999). This geophysical toolbox approach reflects an understanding that a number of physical properties affect the data collected and the inherent heterogeneity of the subsurface can be better managed by a multi-method approach. Each data set, affected by different physical properties, can be compared and interpreted collaboratively. In addition, if one method fails to detect the target of interest, another method, already planned for use at the site, may provide detection. 4. COMMON GEOPHYSICAL METHODS Geophysical methods involve a response to some physical property of the subsurface. In most environmental investigations, the main purpose of applying geophysical methods is to delineate some subsurface structure or other discreet target. To be able to resolve a target, there must be a sufficient physical contrast between the target and the surrounding matrix to cause a response in the measured signal. Table 1 (page 10) provides an overview of common surface geophysical methods applied to environmental problems. Different methods rely on different physical properties. For the purposes of this document, the geophysical methods have been broken down into broad categories to provide an overview of the types of methods in use at environmental sites: magnetometry and gravity methods, electrical methods, electromagnetic methods, seismic methods, and borehole methods; all of which are discussed in the following subsections. These broad categories each encompass several specific methods. Methods such as magnetic resonance sounding and induced polarization, which are not yet in common practice in the environmental field, are omitted from the discussion. References containing detailed information on any method including theory, field operation, and data interpretation are provided below. Regardless of the method, geophysical data are being integrated more often with digital positioning methods, such as differential GPS or robotic total station (RTS). This approach increases the overall positioning accuracy of the data and provides georeferenced data (that is, field data for which spatial coordinates are known) that can be overlaid with other site data, enhancing the quality of the overall CSM. 4.1 Magnetometry and Gravity Methods Magnetometry and gravity methods measure smallscale variations in a larger field that is constantly changing with position and time. Both methods can take measurements using handheld instruments or, for large area surveys, an airborne 1-dimensional profile line. The two methods may be used to complement each other and facilitate interpretation. In gravity surveying, a gravimeter is used to measure the strength of a gravitational field. After applying a series of corrections to account for latitude, elevation, terrain, etc., any anomalies (that is, a geophysical reading considered a deviation from normal data) present that are the result of subsurface density Additional Resources Books/Publications: ASTM D , Milsom 1996, Reynolds 1997, Sharma 1997, Telford 1990, U.S. EPA 1991 Internet sites: U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Ground Water, Branch of Geophysics (http://water.usgs.gov/ogw/bgas/) U.S. Geological Survey, Toxic Substances Hydrology Program, Geophysical Characterization (http://toxics.usgs.gov/topics/geophysics.html) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Field-Based Geophysical Technologies Online Seminar (http://www.clu-in.org/conf/tio/geophysical_121201/) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Field Services Section (http://www.epa.gov/region5superfund/sfdfss/htm/geophy.html) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, EM , Geophysical Exploration for Engineering and Environmental Investigation (http:// /publications/eng-manuals/em /) Natural Resources Canada, Borehole Geophysics and Petrophysics (http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/borehole/index_e.php) Office of Solid Waste and Emergency F
6 variations are recorded. Any subsurface target that creates a sufficient density contrast with the matrix (for example, unconsolidated sediments, voids, or rock) can be detected. Gravity surveying requires precise field instrumentation, a precise geographic location system (with elevation), and a detailed processing routine. Magnetic surveys are more common in the environmental field than gravity surveys. Iron objects and magnetic minerals cause local variations in the earth s magnetic field. Magnetic surveys are often used to locate buried ferrous metal drums and underground storage tanks. The two common magnetic surveying measurement techniques are total field magnetometry (TFM) and gradient magnetometry. TFM uses one sensor and helps locate near surface objects and detect local trends due to larger scale geologic features and changes in soil magnetic susceptibility that may also be of interest to the site investigation. Gradient magnetometry measures the difference in the total magnetic field between two sensors separated by a small vertical or horizontal distance. Gradient magnetometry emphases near surface anomalies and does not require corrections for diurnal variations (variations due to solar activity) since both sensors are equally affected. TFM does require a correction for diurnal variation, but this correction is simplified with the use of modern digital data collection and software, and it does not add significantly to the field time. Magnetic surveys will not directly respond to non-ferrous metal or non-metallic objects, such as non-metal drums and composite tanks, or to container contents and spillage. Magnetometer and gravity data are most often presented in the form of plan view contour and/or color filled maps showing lateral changes in response. 4.2 Electrical Methods Electrical geophysical methods measure the distribution of electrical resistance in the subsurface by applying direct current (DC) to the ground using, for example, two electrodes (current sources) and measuring the potential difference (voltage) between a second pair of electrodes (current receptors). The resistance data may be inverted to produce conductivity estimates. Multiple voltages can be measured at once using several pairs of source and receptor electrodes. Electrical methods such as direct current (DC) resistivity have become popular in environmental surveys as field resistivity systems have become more user-friendly and computing advances have made processing steps easier. Investigations to detect contaminant plumes, fluidfilled bedrock fractures, or landfill boundaries and voids, all lend themselves to the resistivity method if a sufficient resistivity contrast exists. Furthermore, resistivity surveys can be used periodically during a site remediation process to monitor changes in the subsurface electrical properties because of plume or contaminant attenuation. Field data must be processed to create a model of resistivity distribution in order to approximate the true resistivity of the measured subsurface. The earliest resistivity surveys were conducted as soundings or profiles, and inverted into 1-dimension. Improvements in computing capabilities and advances in field equipment have increased the ease of performing more complex, 2- and even 3- dimensional imaging surveys. For these surveys, a multi-electrode system is typically used to collect a series of sounding data over a profile line or lines. Field acquired (apparent resistivity) data are inverted in 2- (or 3-) dimensions to produce a subsurface model. The final product may be as simple as a 2- dimensional profile, called an earth section or a pseudo-section, to a full 3-dimensional image contoured to illustrate vertical and horizontal changes in subsurface resistivity. A multi-channel system can be used to collect near-continuous data and the system can be deployed as a towed survey on either land or water. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a crossborehole or surface to borehole application that produces a tomogram (an image constructed from ER data at the site) of subsurface resistivity. ERT surveys have been used for monitoring subsurface conditions that are expected to change over time. Electrodes are temporarily or permanently placed in boreholes and data are automatically collected using a surface multi-electrode system. ERT surveys produce a 2- or 3-dimensional model, often performed repeatedly over time as part of a monitoring investigation. Office of Solid Waste and Emergency F
7 4.3 Electromagnetic Methods The methods in the electromagnetic (EM) category are perhaps the most varied and diverse. EM induction (EMI) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) both fall within this category, although their methods of operation are quite different. EMI methods operate by inducing an EM pulse (referred to as an EM field ) into the subsurface and measuring the secondary field generated by conductive and/or magnetic media or objects in order to map the distribution of these magnetic materials in the subsurface. Conversely, GPR relies on the propagation of EM waves in the subsurface and records reflections off subsurface structures and/or objects due to the contrast in electrical properties of these structures and objects. EMI data are depicted commonly as factors of frequency (in millivolts), depth (in feet or meters) or time between current induction and reception (in milliseconds). Methods may use a local, active source of induced EM energy (for example, terrain conductivity, time domain EM) or a remote source of induced EM energy (for example, very low frequency [VLF]). If an active source is used, an EMI instrument consists of a transmitter and receiver coil. A VLF unit only requires a receiver. With an active source, the transmitter coil produces a magnetic field that induces an EM pulse into the ground. If there are subsurface conductive materials, this primary EM wave generates a secondary wave that the instrument measures at the receiver coil. The fundamental principle of electromagnetic induction is the measurement of the change in impedance (the ratio of the electrical field to the magnetic-field strength) between the transmitting and receiving of coils above the earth after the EM energy passes through subsurface conditions with various electromagnetic properties. The strength and direction of the fields is used to determine the conductive nature of subsurface materials. Examples of these conductive media include subsurface soils and ferrous and nonferrous metals. EMI surveys have been used to map plumes and locate metal (ferrous and non-ferrous) objects such as drums, tanks, and utilities (Figure 3). EMI surveys are often the chosen method when the goal of a survey is to locate a buried anthropogenic object. Surveys by hand-held instruments (Figure 4), borehole surveys, and airborne surveys are all common applications. Some instruments have a fixed-coil spacing (giving it a fixed maximum Figure 3: GPR survey of underground storage tanks. GPR produces an underground cross-sectional, two-dimensional image of the soils and subsurface features. GPR provides a high resolution, crosssectional image of the shallow subsurface. A good example of geophysical tools, GPR works by sending a short pulse of electromagnetic energy into the subsurface. When this pulse strikes an interface between layers of material with different electrical properties, part of the wave reflects back, and the remaining energy continues to the next interface. Depth measurements to interfaces are determined from travel time of the reflected pulse and the velocity of the radar signal. GPR works well to detect fiberglass tanks or tanks beneath highly cluttered sites or building floors. investigation depth, unless variable frequencies are used), while others have adjustable coil spacing so the operator may change the depth of exploration. Instruments have trade-offs. A fixed-coil instrument, for example, may require fewer operators in the field and may be more rapid in data collection. One advantage of the EMI system over resistivity systems is that direct contact with the ground is not required. EMI data is most often presented as a plan view contour and/or color filled maps showing lateral changes in response. GPR transmits EM waves, or pulses, into the subsurface and records the reflections of these pulses off subsurface structures that have contrasting electrical properties. The amount of EM energy reflected back to the surface at an interface is determined by the material s ability to transmit an electric field (relative electric permittivity) between the two layers and the electrical conductivity of a layer. Therefore, only targets that have dielectric properties that contrast with surrounding media will be detectable using GPR. Dielectric materials are nonconductive, but can sustain an electric field; so dielectric relates to a layer s ability to transmit Office of Solid Waste and Emergency F
8 electric energy by induction and not conduction. Thus, EM waves are quickly attenuated by conductive media such as fine silts and clays with high cation exchange capacity, thereby greatly reducing exploration depth under these conditions. However, GPR is often used to detect areas of high conductivity in this way, such as a biodegrading petroleum plume. As seen in Figure 5, the final product is similar to that produced by seismic reflection. The amount of data processing necessary before final interpretation depends upon the complexity of data and subsurface conditions. Best penetration using GPR is achieved in dry sandy soils or massive dry materials such as granite, limestone, and concrete. GPR provides the greatest resolution of currently available surface geophysical methods and is a method for detecting buried plastic containers. GPR has been used in environmental field work to locate buried objects such as drums, tanks, and utilities; although for these purposes EMI is often better suited, faster, and less expensive for initial or reconnaissance surveys. GPR has also been used to map or identify subsurface stratigraphy, disturbed zones, or conductive or resistive groundwater plumes. Specialized GPR systems can also be used to collect borehole radar data either between two boreholes (radar tomography) or in a single borehole (reflection). Borehole radar can be used in polyvinylchloride (PVC) cased or open holes and can locate fractures or other targets that do not physically intersect the borehole. GPR data is most often Figure 4: EMI survey results at the Poudre River site Case Study. Higher conductivity readings (shown in red) indicate denser subsurface lithology, influenced by bedrock topography and locations of subsurface metal objects. In general, the lower apparent conductivity materials are located at the northwest (lower left) half of the site. The range of conductivities here would suggest loose fill, sand, and other porous materials (such as landfill debris). The higher conductivity areas of the east and northeast (upper left) portion of the site nearer the buildings suggest engineering fill and fine-grained soil such as clay or clay-like silts. Data and interpretations from this survey were added to the CSM to produce the updated cross-section (Figure 2).The black circle indicates the boundary of a playground. Figure 5: Electromagnetic (EM) Induction Time Domain Metal Detection Survey Showing Multiple Targets. EM systems can be used for near-surface environmental investigations, including detection of buried structures such as building foundations, as well as for the detection of highly conductive metallic objects like steel drums, tanks, large metallic utilities and other nondescript buried iron metallic objects.

9 presented in the form of profiles or cross sections similar to seismic reflection surveys (see Section 4.4 below) but can also be presented as 3-dimensional images and plan view depth or time slices showing lateral trends in instrument response. 4.4 Seismic Methods Seismic refraction and seismic reflection are used in CSM development primarily to determine depth to bedrock, to determine depth to water table, and to map subsurface stratigraphy. Advances in equipment and automated processing have led to the increasingly common use of seismic reflection methods in both terrestrial and marine settings. Both methods transmit a seismic wave into the subsurface and measure the refraction of the wave off subsurface layers (seismic refraction method) or the reflection of the wave off these layers (seismic reflection method). These refractions and reflections are caused by either the seismic velocity contrasts in the subsurface (Figure 6) or the acoustic impedance of the subsurface stratigraphy. The contrasts can be caused by material contrasts as well as by the presence or lack of subsurface fluids, such as groundwater or contaminants. Refraction surveys can provide information about depth to bedrock and other subsurface layers such as the water saturated zone. Minimal data processing is needed for seismic refraction surveys. However, more detailed information about subsurface structure and stratigraphy can be obtained from seismic reflection surveys, which require significant data processing before final interpretation. The equipment used for each type of survey may be similar, but setup and acquisition time may be quite different. Final results may be presented as a profile of the subsurface or a contour map indicating depth to some layer, such as the bedrock surface. 4.5 Borehole Methods Borehole geophysical methods are used to obtain subsurface information such as lithology, well construction, fracture orientation, or vertical groundwater flow. The combined use of borehole and surface methods described earlier at a site often yields the most complete geophysical data set possible through all phases of an investigation or remediation. Some borehole methods are discussed above in their respective method categories. Other standard borehole methods are presented in Table 2 (Page 12). Table 2 is not a comprehensive list of all methods; rather, it represents some of the more common methods used in the development of a CSM.

The top of each of the six cross-sections indicates ground surface with increasing depth on the y-axis. Each cross-section represents a parallel seismic slice through the subsurface investigation area. The varied topography and presence or absence of interpreted geologic horizons indicate possible pathways for contaminants. For example, identification of subsurface channel morphology is clearly delineated in this vertical cross-section seismic velocity model. Spacing between sections is 8.75m. Violet represents seismic wave travel times at ~200 meters per second (m/s) and red at ~1000 m/s. In addition, shallow subsurface seismic models can be used to isolate lithology surfaces, the thickness of lithologic units, and even the competency of a unit at limiting vertical groundwater and contaminant migration.

13 5. CASE STUDIES Increasingly, traditional geophysical techniques have found new and innovative uses at hazardous waste sites. Geophysical techniques have been used for decades in other industries, principally the petroleum and mining industries, for their ability to describe geological structures deep within the earth s crust. This proven track record has been applied to subsurface characterization at hazardous waste sites. Examples of how geophysical surveys have been used to improve CSMs are described in the following case studies. Poudre River: EPA issued a Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) grant in 2003 to evaluate the potential for official landfill closure to support the planned expansion of a recreation center built on the former landfill. Geophysical techniques were used at the Poudre River site to support the CSM and to establish a connection between potential landfill source areas and coal tar contamination found in a nearby river. A geophysical subcontractor conducted high-resolution resistivity (HRR) and GPR geophysical surveys to better define the bedrock surface and to identify the presence or absence of preferential pathways such as bedrock fractures, subsurface channels in alluvium, or underground pipelines. The survey was conducted prior to drilling and sampling mobilization to allow time for geophysical data evaluation, CSM refinement, and subsequent refining of the sampling strategy. The use of geophysical techniques at the Poudre River Site provided a relatively inexpensive approach for addressing the project team s presumptions about the distribution of geologic features, such as preferential pathways at the site, and allowed the development of a more accurate CSM. Collaborative data analysis and a synergistic site approach were used to create a detailed soil and groundwater CSM based on geophysical and site sampling data. Collaborative data analysis and a synergistic site approach were used to create a detailed soil and groundwater CSM based on geophysical and site sampling data. UConn Landfill: The U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Ground Water, Branch of Geophysics, conducted an intensive investigation to characterize groundwater contamination in fractured bedrock at the University of Connecticut Landfill. The investigation was undertaken as part of a collaborative effort with state and federal regulators, private consulting firms, and the public. A suite of surface and borehole geophysical techniques were used in conjunction with hydraulic and sampling methods to interpret data in an integrated and iterative process. The development of a groundwater CSM was a main goal of the investigation. Surface geophysical methods (including several resistivity methods, EM induction, and seismic methods) were successfully used to identify fractures, to define the dominant fracture orientation, and to locate potential leachate plumes. Based on results from surface geophysical analysis, several boreholes were drilled and logged with multiple borehole geophysical methods including conventional methods. Borehole geophysical logging successfully differentiated high and low conductivity areas, which were attributed to lithologic changes and those caused by fluid-filled fractures. Further surface geophysical surveys coupled with hydraulic and chemical data interpretation helped to define the extent of the conductive contaminant plume and to produce an accurate CSM. The investigation occurred in stages, with the first comprehensive round of geophysical analysis, including surface methods, drilling, and borehole methods, completed in six months. The full scale, integrated geophysical investigation occurred over several years, continually refining the groundwater CSM. Collaborative data analysis and a synergistic site approach were used to create a detailed groundwater CSM based on geophysical and hydraulic data.

14 Brunswick Naval Air Station: In order to refine a CSM for the Brunswick Naval Air Station in Brunswick, ME, the site contractor employed a suite of surface geophysical tools to map the bedrock surface, identify fracture zones, and to map the continuity and extent of key stratigraphic horizons. The contamination is attributed to past solvent disposal and is known to extend deep into an aquifer. Existing data from boreholes and cone penetrometer studies were integrated with geophysical data from seismic refraction and reflection, GPR, and resistivity to produce an integrated database and construct a 2- dimensional grid model. A total of 28 geophysical survey lines using the above methods were carried out during the study. Data sets were processed individually and merged for conceptual modeling purposes. Each geophysical technique contributed to achieving the goals of the survey. GPR data were used primarily for modeling stratigraphy and depth to bedrock. Resistivity profiles aided in locating fractures and, to a lesser degree, identified depth to bedrock and stratigraphy. Seismic methods provided information on depth to bedrock and possible fracture locations. Final results were presented in integrated models showing depth to bedrock, fractures, and major stratigraphic units. The entire geophysical investigation took approximately 3½ months to complete, including geophysical data collection and compiling and integrating almost ten years of previous site data from various consulting firms. A new extraction well was sited based on the improved CSM. Creosote Investigation Using EM Methods: The U.S. EPA Region 5 and the Department of Geological Sciences at Ohio State University used EM induction and GPR to investigate creosote contamination at the former Baker Wood Creosoting Company industrial site in Ohio. Data compiled from the geophysical investigation were used to design an efficient, comprehensive, and cost-effective remediation plan. The study went beyond standard application of these methods by successfully detecting high levels of organic contamination that produced a resistive response, rather than the typical inorganic, electrically conductive plumes usually detected by EM methods. Although clay-rich deposits are typical of the site geology, GPR still provided valuable sub-surface information. GPR data were collected in a cross-pole configuration (transmitter and receiver arranged orthogonal to each other) to improve the signal to noise ratio. GPR penetration was sufficient to detect back-filled trenches and a creosote-filled vault beneath a foundation. EM data were used to map the extent and depth of creosote compounds. Contamination predictions based on the geophysical data were validated through sampling analytical methods. Through integration of geophysics, an accurate delineation of site contamination was completed with as little invasive sampling as possible. In addition, locating previously unknown buried waste pits prevented possible future contamination.

⇑[bottom]Rev..d D.r Wheelock
Aaron Kinne was a Congregationalist minister and scholar who, like Titus Smith and Theophilus Chamberlain, worked as a missionary for Wheelock after graduating from Yale. After his 1765 graduation, he taught and studied at Moor's for a year before making two trips as a missionary in 1766: one to Maine to report on the local Indian tribes, and one to the Oneidas, the latter being cut short by poor health. He returned in the summer of 1768 to substitute for Samuel Kirkland. Kinne was ordained in 1770 and became the minister of the Congregationalist church at Groton, Connecticut, where he served until he was dismissed in 1798. He also became a prolific scholar, and during the Revolution, served as chaplain to American troops, including those massacred at the Battle of Fort Griswold. After dismissal from Groton, Kinne lived in a variety of locations in New England and was sporadically employed as a missionary. He died in Ohio while visiting one of daughters.
Eleazar Wheelock was a New Light Congregationalist minister who founded Dartmouth College. He was born into a very typical Congregationalist family, and began studying at Yale in 1729, where he fell in with the emerging New Light clique. The evangelical network that he built in college propelled him to fame as an itinerant minister during the First Great Awakening and gave him many of the contacts that he later drew on to support his charity school for Native Americans. Wheelock's time as an itinerant minister indirectly brought about his charity school. When the Colony of Connecticut retroactively punished itinerant preaching in 1743, Wheelock was among those who lost his salary. Thus, in 1743, he began operating a grammar school to support himself. He was joined that December by Samson Occom, a Mohegan Indian, who sought out an education in hopes of becoming a teacher among his people. Occom's academic success inspired Wheelock to train Native Americans as missionaries. To that end, he opened Moor's Indian Charity School in 1754 (where he continued to train Anglo-American students who paid their own way as well as students who functionally indentured themselves to Wheelock as missionaries in exchange for an education). Between 1754 and 1769, when he relocated to New Hampshire, Wheelock trained approximately 60 male and female Native American students from nearby Algonquian tribes and from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) of central New York. At the same time, he navigated the complicated politics of missionary societies by setting up his own board of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge, although he continued to feud with the Boston Board of the SSPCK and the London Commissioners in Boston (more colloquially called the New England Company). By the late 1760s, Wheelock had become disillusioned with the idea of Native American education. He was increasingly convinced that educating Native Americans was futile (several of his students had failed to conform to his confusing and contradictory standards), and, in late 1768, he lost his connection to the Haudenosaunee. With his inclination and ability to sponsor Native American missionaries largely depleted, Wheelock sought instead to fulfill his ultimate ambition of obtaining a charter and opening a college, which he did in 1769. To fund this new enterprise, Wheelock drew on the £12,000 that Samson Occom had raised for Moor's Indian Charity School during a two-and-a-half year tour of Great Britain (1765 to 1768). Much of this money went towards clearing land and erecting buildings in New Hampshire for the Charity School's relocation — infrastructure that also happened to benefit Dartmouth. Many of Wheelock's contemporaries were outraged by what they saw as misuse of the money, as it was clear that Dartmouth College was not intended for Indians and that Moor's had become a side project. Although Wheelock tried to maintain at least some commitment to Native American education by recruiting students from Canadian communities, the move did a great deal of damage to his public image. The last decade of Wheelock's life was not easy. In addition to the problems of trying to set up a college far away from any Anglo-American urban center, Wheelock experienced the loss of relationships with two of his most famous and successful students, Samson Occom and Samuel Kirkland (an Anglo-American protégé). He also went into debt for Dartmouth College, especially after the fund raised in Britain was exhausted.
Sir William Johnson was a powerful British colonial official who amassed wealth and influence by integrating into the Mohawk tribe. For a brief window of time (1761-1768), he provided support for Wheelock's missionary efforts among the Six Nations. He also helped the Brothertown Nation of Indians procure land from the Oneidas. Johnson was born in Ireland in 1715. His family had been part of the Catholic elite, but after William of Orange's 1690 victory at the Battle of the Boyne, they at least nominally converted to the Episcopalian Church. In 1738, Johnson emigrated to America to manage his uncle Peter Warren's estate in Mohawk territory. Over the next decade, Johnson became wealthy in his own right through trade and land sales, acquiring a vast estate crowned by his manor house, Johnson Hall, which became the central location for British and Indian treaty making. In 1745, Johnson began collecting official British titles and positions. He played an important military role in the French and Indian War and was named Superintendent of Indian Affairs in 1756 and first baronet of New York in 1757. Much of Johnson's success was due to his influence among the Mohawks, which he obtained by learning their language and customs and integrating himself into their society. He participated in Mohawk rituals and entered into a common-law marriage with a powerful Mohawk woman, Molly Brant (also called Mary Brant). Because Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) society is matrilineal, this marriage was an essential element of his participation in Indian affairs. Wheelock desperately wanted to wield missionary influence among the Six Nations, and sought to obtain Johnson as an ally in his endeavors. At first, the two found grounds for cooperation. Wheelock sent Occom as a missionary to the Oneidas in 1761 and again in 1762, and sent a substantially larger group of missionaries and schoolmasters in 1765, 1766, and 1767. Johnson, meanwhile, encouraged Haudenosaunee children, including his brother-in-law Joseph Brant, to attend Moor's. Johnson's support proved indispensible to missionaries in the field; he helped with supplies, language skills, and relations with the Mohawks and Oneidas. Wheelock also valued Johnson for his influence in Britain, and drew on him for recommendations and public statements of support numerous times. From 1763 on, however, Johnson found himself decidedly uncomfortable with Wheelock's missionary efforts, and by 1769, their relationship had dissolved completely. In 1766, Johnson was invited to join the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG), the largest and most influential Anglican missionary society in the 18th-century British-Atlantic world. He began working to place Anglican missionaries, rather than Congregationalist and Presbyterian ones, among the Six Nations, which alarmed Wheelock. Johnson was generally supportive of Native American tribes' efforts to maintain their land and sovereignty. As the historian Linford Fisher has noted, "virtually every major Native group in southeastern New England successfully petitioned Johnson to act on their behalf during the late 1760s and early 1770s." Among these groups was the Brothertown Nation, a Christian composite tribe formed by Southern New England Algonquian Moor's alumni. Johnson helped them negotiate with the Oneidas, which proved essential to their successful land purchase and relocation to central New York.

Red Baron Brawler– please allow to load!
Based off of the Red Baron created by my friends and I "The Carimando Bros" originally for a Shockwave RPG game called "Deim Requiem". Red Baron now stars in his own action beat-em-up game facing against enemies created by the Sprite winners of the "Animation Idol" contest , that was held on Mindchamber some time ago. The Programmer is none other than the newstart prodigy "FrostedMuffins" of newgrounds fame.
there are over 14 unique characters many frame by frame, which is why the game is so large.
GamesDayPodcast mentioned Redbaron during thier 74th podcast about online gaming.
Red Baron was orginally created by Friends of mine in school. He was a character in an RPG shockwave game called "Diem Requiem" Created by George and John Carimando. (Lol Georgi… Just remembered his mom calling him that just now, and I couldnt stop giving him a hardtime about it..) Anyways, John was taking computer science and his thesis project was going to be a small simple RPG made in macromedia shockwave. (Flash hadn't really caught on as the definitive vectorbased game making software) We had no tablets at the time, so the art was drawn on paper, animated using a lightbox, then scanned in. From there, it was cleaned up in streamline, then colored in Adobe illustrator. Man it was a chore,but it was fun. The Carimando bros where good guys, and they were really cool to hang around with. Diem Requiem was my first taste at making a video game, and my first experience working on a project with a a small team.
Fast Foward 6 years to 2005, and I was in one of my self reflective, yet lazy moods, and began feeling nostalgic. So I started rummaging through old CD data disks and other assorted files, when I came upon the disk with called "Diem Requiem" I fired it up and smiled as all the memories came rushing back. Of course the game was beyond unplayable. The frame rate was running over 100 frames a second back then because our computers at the time just couldn't play it at regular speed. So of course now, everyones flying around and you can barely see whats going on. After Looking through all the illustrator files, I couldn't help but feel like all these animations would simply rest on this disk never to be seen again by anyone besides the ones who created the game. So I contacted the guys, Told them I wanted to do some kind of flash game with the existing art, and if they were cool with it, which they were. and the rest is kinda history.
But to make things a bit more interesting I decided to have a sprite contest over at my old site. One where anyone could submit unused sprites, (or make fresh ones for the contest). towards the end of the contest, PsychoGoldfish created a neat page where we could judge and critque each submission. The contest later became "Animation Idol" and as we judged the contest we spoofed the Simon and the other judges from the original show. It was alot of fun.
Making this game introduced me to two of the best and kindest guys I know. Evan (Frostedmuffins) and Jak (jakbaronking). Frosted Coded the game, what he brought to the table was alot of heart and enough enthusiasm for a whole team. Every suggestion I threw his way he simply crunched and converted to code. Red baron was easily one of my biggest flash games of the time, and really ambicious. None of that could have been possible without Evan.
Next up was Jak. He originally contacted me when he broke the all time high survival score in Red Baron. I was giving highscore users a little banner above the scoreboard with their names in lights , so to speak, and he wanted to make sure I knew he just topped it. After that we would talk on line about ideas for the next possible baron game and later simply about life in general. When I had stopped updating my site he came around to newgrounds. His fevor for the Red Baron game was still, after all these years, unwavering and he wanted the next generation of Newgrounds users to know about this game. So First he started with a walkthrough , Then helped produce afan animation of Baron . After which, as artist began coming to the site, he would commission them to do red baron related works! To say the least I was definitely flattered and humbled. All around hes just a great guy. Even though hes a fraction of my age, he is simply wise beyond his years. Now comes on newgrounds and spreads his advice and goodwill to all who are are willing to listen.. He will definitely be helping me with Dark Baron (Red Baron 2) when the time comes.
