Evaluation of seasonal effects on the hydrogeochemistry of uranium was continued in Oconee County, South Carolina, and the Brush Creek area, North Carolina. A contract was written for a seasonal sampling program in Maine. Sampling began in April and will continue through the first quarter of FY 1977. Procedures manuals were written and training sessions for subcontractors were held. Reconnaissance sampling is in progress. Three subcontractors will collect 10,800 samples from over 50,000 square miles of the southern Appalachians. A contract was written for orientation studies in New Hampshire and Maine. The well sampling feasibility study in western New York State was completed. Evaluation of orientation data continues, including Williamsport area, Pennsylvania; North Harper Creek, Cleveland and Moore County areas, North Carolina; and east central Alabama. Preliminary supplementary elemental data from both the Cleveland and North Harper Creek study areas show that cobalt correlates strongly with uranium. A priority order was established for sampling 25 eastern states. Approximately 1400 additional samples and standards were analyzed for uranium. Over 2800 irradiation capsules have been processed to date. The SRL-NURE data management system was modified to allow processing of orientation and reconnaissance data as independent files. A sample inventory system is being developed to maintain information for all samples and associated forms. Programs were written to generate geochemical symbols on computer-produced microfiche and to calculate and plot cumulative frequency distributions. A simplified field form designed for reconnaissance sampling was printed and successfully field-tested.
