Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Richard Rendigs

Affiliate Investigator(s): Denis LeBlanc - WRD

Information Specialist(s): PARTNER

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Biology, Sampling: Chemistry, Sampling: Geology

Scientific Purpose/Goals: SCUBA operations to recover vapor diffusion sampling bottles emplaced into the lake sediments approx. two weeks ago.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: public boat ramp, west side of Johns Pond, Mashpee, MA

End Port/Location: public boat ramp, west side of Johns Pond, Mashpee, MA

Start Date: 1998-08-10

End Date: 1998-08-11

Equipment Used: GPS (wh), SCUBA

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Recovery of approx. 150 vapor diffusion sampling bottles emplaced into the lake sediments 2 weeks ago. An on-site gas chromatigraphic unit (EPA) will analyze the samples as they are recovered by the USGS divers. The hope is to define the 'footprint' of the SD-5 plume originating from Otis Air Force Base.
