Abstract

Rapid collection and management of quality field data are the foundation for any environmental investigation. Recent developments in pen-computing technologies have made it possible to record field data in electronic format using field-ruggedized pen-based computers without the need for paper forms or log books. For this project, a field data entry application was constructed in Microsoft Access, a relational database management software system. The data files are collected directly into the data management systems in the field. The database management system allows for further characterization or reporting activities. Efficient collection, storage, and management improves the efficiency and overall quality of the characterization and presentation of the project data. Furthermore, the data can also be electronically transferred to other analytical software packages without the need to manually re-enter data. The electronic files can be used from the initial investigation phase through entire facilities management programs or internal client programs.

Records Management in the Formerly Used Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP)

Conference Morekas, G; Pape, M

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE's) performance of site investigation and remediation under the Formerly Used Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) requires the use of a records management system in order to effectively capture and manage data, document the decision making process, and allow communication of project information to regulators, congress, and the public. The USACE faces many challenges in managing the vast amount of data, correspondence, and reports generated under this program, including: management of data and reports in a variety of paper, electronic, and microfilm formats; incorporation of records generated by the Department of Energy (DOE) priormore »« less
Maintenance of Maywood Laboratory Operations Support During Contractor Transition and Replacement of the Project Databases - 16329

Conference Tucker, Brian; Winters, Mike; Axler, Greg; ...

In December 2013, Cabrera Services (Cabrera) executed transition of the FUSRAP Maywood Superfund Site remediation project operations, including an on-site accredited environmental lab, from a large business that had established technology infrastructure in place for over a decade which required updating to support the expected remediation scope and client needs. As of November 2015, Cabrera has shipped over 116,000 yd{sup 3} of contaminated soil to disposal facilities. During the transition, the USACE FUSRAP Maywood Laboratory (UFML) continued to support project operations, providing the expected timely and reliable results and maintaining their New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection certification for allmore »« less
The Integrated Waste Tracking Systems (IWTS) - A Comprehensive Waste Management Tool

Conference Anderson, Robert

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Idaho National Laboratory (INL) site located near Idaho Falls, ID USA, has developed a comprehensive waste management and tracking tool that integrates multiple operational activities with characterization data from waste declaration through final waste disposition. The Integrated Waste Tracking System (IWTS) provides information necessary to help facility personnel properly manage their waste and demonstrate a wide range of legal and regulatory compliance. As a client?server database system, the IWTS is a proven tracking, characterization, compliance, and reporting tool that meets the needs of both operations and management while providing a high level of flexibility.more »« less

Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) Bill of Materials (BOM) for FEMIS version 1.4.5

Technical Report Fangman, P; Gerhardstein, L; Homer, B

This document describes the hardware and software required for the Federal Emergency Management Information System version 1.4.5 (FEMIS v1.4.5). The FEMIS system is designed for a single Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site that has multiple Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Each EOC has personal computers (PCs) that emergency planners and operations personnel use to do their jobs. These PCs are connected via a local area network (LAN) to servers that provide EOC-wide services. Each EOC is interconnected to other EOCs via a Wide Area Network (WAN). A UNIX server provides a platform to support the Oracle relational database managementmore »« less
