Abstract
The Army used a dynamic field activity (i.e., a project that combines on-site data generation with on-site decision making) to optimize the treatment system at the Umatilla Chemical Depot in 1999. The use of field-based analytical methods (FAMs) allowed them to maximize the usefulness of granular activated carbon and minimize the number of samples sent to a fixed laboratory for confirmation. The data provided by the FAMs met project requirements and improved the overall project quality control by providing rapid feedback on treatment problems as they occurred. Since its implementation, the optimized treatment system has been providing the Army with an annual savings of at least 45 percent.
