This rock was oiled during the Exxon Valdez spill. Here is a sequence of photos of it, taken once each year for the past 9 years. Have the plants and animals living on and around this rock recovered from the Exxon Valdez spill?

Home People Publications Norman Landfill ... Links Home Organic Compounds in Near-Surface Environments: Understanding Fate in a Changing Biogeochemical Landscape Principal Investigators: Isabelle M. Cozzarelli and Robert P. Eganhouse In order to predict the short- and long-term fate of toxic organic substances in a variety of aquatic environments, it is necessary to determine the physical properties of these compounds and to understand their biogeochemical fate. The transport, sorption, volatilization, and biodegradation of organic compounds are investigated in a variety of hydrogeologic environments. The relative importance of different removal processes and the geochemical alterations resulting from organic-inorganic interactions are quantified under different environmental conditions and incorporated into conceptual and numerical models. The approach involves long-term environmental studies of biogeochemical processes in contaminated aquifers, coupled with laboratory studies aimed at identifying specific pieces of the complicated fate and transport puzzle. The research being conducted by this project, as part of the USGS

CERFA parcelswere not evaluated further under the Environmental Baseline Survey Program. Six of the 214 parcels at Alameda Point were CERFA Qualified . The remaining 208 parcels were initially classified as BRAC7 - Further Evaluation Necessary Phase One - A paper search was performed. Historical information was collected on hazardous material spills and previous hazardous material storage at each of the BRAC7 parcels. Based on this Phase One evaluation many parcels were reclassified into different BRAC categories that made them eligible for transfer. When further information was deemed necessary for BRAC classification, areas on the parcel were targeted for Phase 2A sampling.

Chemical, Biohazard, or Radiation Spills Any uncontrolled release of hazardous materials which poises a risk of environmental contamination or that you are unable to contain, control and clean is considered a spill. Follow these procedures in the initial stages of any hazardous material spill: Alert all persons within the spill area. Isolate area and prevent re-entry. Call Spill Response 8497 , or Security 5555 and provide the following information to the operator: Location: Building/Department Hazard Name: Quantity: If first aid is required contact Security Services at or an ambulance at For assistance with the clean up process contact Waste Management Facility at 8497. All spills must be reported to the Department of Health, Safety and Environment, regardless of the seriousness. An Accident/Incident or Spill Report form must be completed and returned to Health, Safety and Environment. Hazardous materials The University of Saskatchewan is committed to the proper management of hazardous waste generated by research and educational activities. The University provides a hazardous waste management service through the Department of Health, Safety and Environment.

Residents living within a one-mile radius of the accident were either evacuated or told to stay inside their homes after 30 freight cars jumped the tracks, spilling several chemicals hydroxide, formaldehyde, hydrochloride acid, multon sulfur and chlorine. The accident occurred about 50 yards from the river, but officials say none of the chemicals spilled into the waterway, which was closed for about 40 minutes and then reopened. Andy King, nursing supervisor at Saint Mary's Hospital in Huntington, two miles south of Guyandotte, said none of the injuries appeared life-threatening.

Resources Hazardous Substances Threats Readiness Response Community Relations ... Accomplishments As an industrialized nation, the United States produces, transports, stores, uses, and disposes of millions of tons of hazardous substances per day. Many of us live and work among a wide variety of what are considered CERCLA hazardous substances , which can be found on trucks, trains, and ships that transport hazardous substances; in industrial production, storage, and use; and in active and abandoned hazardous waste sites. Hazardous substances also are found in many consumer products and services that we use everyday, including paints, batteries, dry cleaning processes, pesticides, and many others. Under normal conditions, these substances are controlled and pose no threat to human life and the environment. But when they enter the environment through an accidental release, they can contaminate the land we use, the water we drink, and the air we breathe, with potentially disastrous results. EPA's Superfund Emergency Response program provides quick response to the release, or threatened release, of hazardous substances wherever and whenever they occur. It is one of two major components of the
