Remote Sight to Monitor Mound Site

摘要

The U. S. Department of Energy's Mound Site, which is located near Mianusburg, Ohio, is in the process of closure, turning over the majority of the land and remaining buildings to the Miamisburg Mound Community Improvement Corp. for their use. MSE, Technology Applications Inc. (MSE) worked with the Mound Site operating contractor, CH2M Hill Mound Inc., to demonstrate a remote monitoring system for assessing environmentally sensitive areas within the Mound Site. The demonstration was in support of the Mound Site closure/turnover. The DOE has imposed deed restrictions (designed to protect human health and the environment) on the property, including restrictions on the removal of soil, and has a continuing responsibility to enforce the deed restrictions in the future. The DOE Office of Environmental Management funded MSE to provide the design construction/installation and monitoring of the demonstration. The DOE-Ohio Office funded CH2M Hill Mound Inc. to provide the system hardware. MSE installed the system hardware at the site in September 2003 and evaluated the system's performance over the following year.
