This book was released on 2008 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scope of work (SOW) outlines the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) minimum requirements for the characterization of gas pipeline mercury manometer sites. Characterization of a mercury manometer site is necessary to fully and accurately determine the need for remediation at each site. This SOW is a flexible process that can be tailored to specific characteristics and needs at individual sites. The requirements of this SOW have been empirically determined by KDHE to be the most effective for determining the nature and extent of mercury contamination at the sites in a consistent and cost effective manner. ... The specific investigative parameters included in this SOW must be incorporated into site characterization work plans submitted to KDHE for KDHE to consider the work plans as candidates for approval. The overall goal of the site characterization is to identify those metering stations at which mercury is present in or around the facility and to determine the approximate concentrations of mercury present in soils at the sites. The results of soil sampling will be used to determine the need for corrective action at the sites.
