Cost and Performance Report for Adaptive Long-Term Monitoring at Environmental Restoration Sites (ER-0629)

摘要

The primary objective of this ESTCP project was to demonstrate and validate the use of the Sampling Optimizer and Data Tracker software offered by Summit Envirosolutions, at three DoD sites. The three demonstration sites were as follows: Former George Air Force Base Site, Victorville, CA (GAFB site), Former Nebraska Ordnance Plant Site, Mead, NE (NOP site), and Camp Allen Landfill Site, Norfolk, VA (Camp Allen site). MAROS was also applied at one of the three demonstration sites. The Summit Software demonstrated in this ESTCP project provides a set of tools for Long-Term Monitoring Optimization (LTMO), and consists of two major modules: Sampling Optimizer (SO) identifies redundant sampling locations (spatial optimization), or redundant locations and frequencies (spatiotemporal optimization), in historical data. Data Tracker (DT) allows current monitoring data to be reviewed against selected historical data (i.e., the 'background data') to identify cases where current data deviate from expectations that are based on the background values and patterns.
