'Control'citesdo notcontainFC productionor consumption facilitieasnd arematched tostudy citiesbased on generallocation, populationsize,and drinkingwater source. During the initiaplhase ofthe study phone callswere made tomunicipal agenciesrequesting pem-ussiontocollectvariousmatricesof interestB.ased upon the levelof cooperationreceived from themunicipalagencies,appropriatesampling strategiewsere developed. The Quality Assurance ProjectPlan (QA-PP) and the Survey Plan containthe detailedinformationconcerning thematricesforcollectioannd methods to be utilizefdorthisprocess. The fullprojectsampling scope isaccomplishedusingtwo fieldteams: 1)Battelle'Dsuxbury Personnelcollectdrinkingwater,POTW, landfilalnd urban airsamples,and 2) Battelle'Msarine SciencesLaboratory(MSL) personnelcollectsurfacewatermicrolayer,bulk water and finfish samples. This reportsummarizes theDuxbury team effort.A separatereportsummarizes the MSL activities. 1.1 Survey SpecificApproval Approval was grantedinClevelandTennessee from thePubliclyOwned TreatmentWorks (POTW), municipaldrinkingwater plant,and ClevelandFireDepartment (foratmospheric sampling).Permissionwas not grantedforsampling atthemunicipallandfillP.ermissionto sample was grantedinDecatur Alabama forthePOTW (includingairsampling),municipal drinkingwaterplant,and municipal landfillT.he DecaturFireDepartment denied accesstotheir propertyforatmosphericsampling.Table I highlightsthecitievsisitedduring thissurveyand theapprovalsgrantedby municipal departments.

METHODS The collectioofnenvironmentaslamplesisconductedaccordintgoStandarOdperation Procedures(SOP's).The SOP's used in theMulti-CityStudy were writtenby Battelleand are used totrainpersonalpn*or to conducting fieldactivitieasnd alsoserveas a referencedocuments while inthe field.These documents, alongwith the QAPP, serveasthe guidancedocuments for thecollectionof fieldsamples. The methods used forcollectionaresummarized below. The collectioonf positiondata (latitudaend longitude)was completed ateach sampling location usinga Garmin 12XL GPS unitaccordingto BattelleSOP 3-164-01. Instrumentaccuracywas validatedby comparing an acquiredpositionversusa positionof known location.The collection of airsamples was completed usinga General Metals Model PS-1 atmosphericsampler. The sampling was conducted accordingto BattelleSOP M3-MC-F-1.1. The use of thissystem allowsthe separatecollectionof particulataend vapor phase compounds using a glassfiberfilter forparticulatmeatterand a polyurethanefoam PLLF forthe vapor phase. Water samples from drinkingwater suppliesP,OTW'S, and landfillwsere collectedaccordingtoSOP M3-F-2.0. Surfacewater samples were collectedvia directsubmersion,tap water and drinkingwater suppliedby the municipalplantwere collectedvia a valve system,and effluenwtas collected usingeithera bucket orsmall sampling beaker. Sediment samples were collectedusingBattelle SOP M3-F-7.0. Both sludge and sediment were collectedusing a stainlesssteelspoon. 3.CHRONOLOGY Tables 2 through 6 provide a detailedchronology ofthe eventsthatoccurredeach day of the survey.The timesrecordedforthe collectioonf each sample matrix has been transcribefdrom the sample collectiolnog,allothertimes have been-estimatedbased on theeventsof theday.

Due toschedulingand permit issuesno finfiswhere collectduringthissurvey. The collectioonf POTW influentwas not collectedateitherClevelandor Decatur due to healthconcerns.Both POTW influentstreams availableforsampling containedbiologicalhazards. In both citiest,hestaffatthe facilities indicatedthatthechlorinatiopnrocessoccurs followingsecondary treatment. Neitherlandfillleachatenor an alternativseample was collectedforthe municipalityof Cleveland,TN. The reasoningthatan alternativseample was not soughtafterisbased on the followinginformation.A discussionwith themanager of thelandfililnFebruary resultedinthe denialofpermissionto collecta sample. During thisdiscussionitwas revealedthatthe leachate from thelandfililspumped tothe POTW fortreatment.During subsequentdiscussionswith ClevelandUtilitieasn offerwas made to remove a manhole cover thatwould allowus accessto theleachateas itispumped infrom the landfillH.owever, because we had not been granted permissionitwas decidedthatwe would not collectthe leachatesample. With the sample unattainableand theleachatepumped from the landfililtreasonedthatthe leachatewould not be migratingfrom thelandfilalnd enteringa nearby water source.Therefore,no alternativseite was collected. Also to be collectedb,ut not includedinthe QAPP, was a sample of quiet/undisturbesdurface water. This sample isintendedforuse in a long-termtransportstudythatiscurrentlybeing conducted. In Cleveland we were unable to collectthissample because accesswas unavailable tothepond selectedas a sampling siteas itwas locatedon privateproperty.A sample was collectedatFlintCreek inDecatur. 4.2 Onsite Observations Cleveland,TN: The drinkingwater plantwithdrawal locationisapproximately2 miles east/northeasotf theplantinthe I-liwasseeRiver.

The locationof each sampling sitewas determined using a Garmin 12 XL GPS, theresultsare presentedin Tables 9 and 10. The accuracy of the GPS unitwas verifiedpriorto departurefrom Duxbury by comparing a benchmark atBattelleversusthe measured locationdetermined by the instrument.The differencethe trueand measured coordinateswas 0.01 kilometers. Following shipment to Tennessee the instrument was reinitializedT.his was conducted atthe Baymont Hotel on May 24th.Within severalminutes of theprocess,the unitwas displaying maps and locationsof the localarea,which indicatedthatitwas working properly. The results of the verificationfsoreach sampling day arepresented inTable 11. The resultof the verificatiofnorCleveland was a differenceof 0.11 kilometersbetween the "true"and measured coordinates.Although the verificatioinsbeyond theacceptance criteriat,he positiondata forthe day willbe considered validbecause itappeared thatwhile the instrument was receiving-datat,he Department of Defense might have adjustedthesatellitseelective availabilityT.he instrumentdid not record a constantpositionover a five-minuteperiod and the positionappeared to change in a regulatedstepmanner. The resultof the verificatioinn Decatur resultedin a differenceof 1.68 kilometersbetween the "true"and measured coordinates.The referencepoint thatwas used forthe verificationwas that of thedischargefortheplant.During the verificatiotnheplantmanager suspectedthatthe referencepositionwas thatof the plantoutflow locatedonsite.Based on the substantial FinalFieldRpt ClevelandTN DecaturAL B alteIIe ...

Subsequently ithas been discovered thatthe position isthe tem-iinationpoint of the discharge pipe located in the river. Based on this information verificationwas not possible for that day. According the QAPP the minimum distance between sediment sampling sitespositions is 500 feet apart. The following resultshave been calculated using the Garmin GPS. The distance from Cleveland Site I to Site 2 is 229.6', the distance from Site 2 to Site 3 is 196.8' and the distance from Site 1 to Site 3 is 360.8'. Sampling at Cleveland did not meet the QAPP requirements. The distance from Decatur Site I to Site 2 is 951.2', the distance from Site 2 to Site 3 is754.4' and the distance from Site 1 to Site 3 is 1,148'. Table 9.
