OSTI ID:6559143
The Environmental Protection Department of EG G Rocky Flats has designed and developed a unique Remote Surface Water Monitoring System using radio telemetry hardware and computer control software. The system is based on new technologies in microelectronics and envirorunental monitoring sensors. An engineering team, headed up by the Surface Water Division at EG G, has proven that with careful evaluation of new technologies and hardware components, a reliable, cost effective and graphical user interface (GUI) system can be designed and installed. The network utilizes standard industrial control hardware and off-the-shelf components in order to meet several time requirements outlined by an Interagency Agreement (IAG) between the Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and state and local authorities. In addition, the system had to meet tight environmental specifications and procedures. The Rocky Flats Plant is part of the U.S. Department of Energy Weapons Complex and is located near the Denver metropolitan area. The plant is required by law, and Interagency Agreement, to maintain strict environmental standards for surface water monitoring and discharge characteristics, including the requirement for utilization of best available technology.
