INTRODUCTION The objectiveof the swnpling taskinthisstudy istocollectrepresentativseamples fortracelevelanalysisofFC residualst,oassesssources,dispersioninthe environment,and human exposureviathefood chain.The citieselectedforsample collectiownillbe considered'study' or 'controlc'ities.'Study'citiesareconsideredthoseareaswith FC productionfacilitioerslarge FC-consumers. 'Control'citiesdo notcontainFC productionor consumption facilitiaensd,are matched tostudy citiesbased on generallocation,populationsize,and drinkingwater source. During the initiaplhase of the studyphone callswere made to municipalagenciesrequesting accesstovariousmatricesof interestB.ased upon the levelof cooperationreceivedfrom the municipalagencies,appropriatesampling strategiewsere developed. The QualityAssurance ProjectPlan (QAPP) and theSurvey Plan containtheappropriateinformationconcerningthe matricesforcollectionand methods to be utilizedforthisprocess. The fullprojectsampling scope isaccomplished usingtwo fieldteams:1)Battelle'Dsuxbury Personnelcollectdrinkingwater,POTW, landfilalnd urban airsamples,and 2) Battelle'Msarine SciencesLaboratory(MSL) personnelcollectsurfacewater microlayer,bulk water and finfish samples. This reportsununarizesthe Duxbury team effort.A separatereportsummarizes the MSL activities. 1.1 Survey SpecificApproval OrganizationsinMobile Alabama responded favorablytosampling requestsatthePublicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), themunicipaldrinkingwaterplant,and theMobile Fire Department (foratmosphericsampling)and grantedpem-iissiotno sample atthesesites.
