This report presents the operational chronology and representative photographic data, including benthic color plates, from an oceanographic investigation near the Farallon Islands, a small group of islands located WSW of San Francisco, California.^Purpose was to determine the feasibility of using a submersible to locate and investigate a site used in the early 1950`s for disposal of radioactive wastes and determine the conditions of the containers, primarily 55-gallon drums.^The operation employed the U.S.^Navy`s Cable-Controlled Underwater Recovery Vehicle (CURV III).^Radioactive waste containers were located at 850-meter and 900-meter depths.^Precision navigation methods were used to ensure that the site could be located again for any future studies and a detailed bathymetric map of the survey area was drawn up.^Sediment grab samples and cores were taken adjacent to the containers, and a sample of marine sponge was collected off one of the containers.^Extensive benthic photography and video recording were utilized for documentation of the bottom targets that were investigated.^Although some containers appeared to be partially crushed and breached, the majority appeared intact. |
