>
> **Dry Chemical systems -- perform maintenance every six (6)
> consecutive months:**

-   NFPA 17 Section 11.1.3 states "A trained person who has undergone
    the instructions necessary to perform the maintenance and recharge
    service reliably and has the applicable manufacturer's installation
    and maintenance manual and service bulletins shall service the dry
    chemical extinguishing system at intervals not more than 6 months
    apart as outlined in Section 11.3."

-   NFPA 17 Section 11.3 states guidelines for Dry Chemical
    Extinguishing System maintenance:

    -   "At least semiannually, maintenance shall be conducted in
        accordance with the manufacturer's listed installation and
        maintenance manual.

    -   As a minimum, such maintenance shall include the following:

        -   A check to see that the hazard has not changed

        -   An examination of all detectors, expellant gas container(s),
            agent container(s), releasing devices, piping, hose
            assemblies, nozzles, signals, and all auxiliary equipment

        -   Verification that the agent distribution piping is not
            obstructed

        -   Examination of the dry chemical (If there is evidence of
            caking, the dry chemical shall be discarded and the system
            shall be recharged in accordance with the manufacturer's
            instructions.)"

-   Discharge of the system is necessary to ensure delivery lines are
    not obstructed. **Stirring of the dry chemical alone is not
    sufficient to ensure delivery lines are not obstructed.** We have
    received numerous reports from operators that dry chemical system
    failures have been identified during semiannual inspections. These
    conditions would not otherwise have been found except by discharging
    the system.

-   [CertAlert
    04-12](http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/airport_safety/certalerts/media/cert0412.rtf)
    states "If the maintenance records indicate that a system has not
    been discharged within 6 months prior to a FAA certification
    inspection, the FAA airport certification inspector may, at his or
    her option, require the dispensing of the dry chemical to ensure the
    system is working properly."

-   Certificate Holders in the Great Lakes Region should expect the
    Airport Certification Safety Inspector to request discharge of the
    dry chemical system during a periodic or surveillance inspection if
    documentation of maintenance within the last 6 months is not
    available.

> Please contact your Airport Certification Safety Inspector if you have
> any questions.

# Summary of "Endless" Model A40 Alaska Steeppass Fishway Evaluation -- 2003

A full-scale Alaska steeppass Model A40 (18" width, deepened) was
installed at the S.O. Conte Anadromous Fish Research Center Flume
Facility and evaluated using active upstream-migrant adult American shad
(*Alosa sapidissima*) and white sucker (*Catostomus commersoni*). The
fishway consisted of two 40-foot long sections and three 180 degree
turnpools, with a short 10-foot section and false weir/return pipe at
the exit, at a slope of 1:8 (total vertical gain 11.2 feet). American
shad and white sucker were tested at two headpond conditions (18" and
36") and two turnpool types (square-cornered and round-cornered). Data
are currently being analyzed. Although some fish of both species were
able to negotiate the entire length of the fishway and made multiple
ascensions, less than 50% of all fish attempted to pass the fishway and
most fish that made attempts did not pass the first turnpool. Some
unsuccessful individuals sustained significant injuries when falling
back through the fishway. Additional tests with both species are planned
for 2004.

# Summary of Progress on Rainbow Dam Eel Passage Research -- 2003

A downstream bypass pipe and vertical slot fishway were fitted with
multiple PIT tag antennas to detect PIT tagged silver-phase eels passing
via these routes at Rainbow Dam, Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Over 70
migrating eels were captured, tagged and released at a point several
kilometers upstream of the project. No eels have been detected to date
passing via either the bypass or the fishway, but video records indicate
over 100 untagged eels passing by these routes. An experimental tank was
constructed at the site to evaluate activity of yellow and silver phase
eels in conjunction with peaks of downstream movement past the project.
Both yellow and silver phase eels displayed bouts of activity, primarily
at night. Associations of activity bouts and migratory peaks are
currently being evaluated. The activity chamber apparatus shows promise
for future tests of environmental cues that may initiate downstream
migration in silver-phase eels.

FOREWORD

In 1960, the FHA Soil PVC Meter was developed under the Federal Housing

Administration Technical Studies Program. It was developed to provide

a quick and practical method of testing soils for shrink-swell
potential.

It also presents a condensed explanation of the relationship between

environment and moisture conditions and their effects on expansive
soils.

This guide also contains the significant, hitherto unpublished results

of over 100 FHA Soil PVC Meter tests which were made from samples taken

in selected locations in 15 states. Although these locations were

primarily in areas of known highly expansive soils, the test results

reflect general characteristics of expansive soils throughout the

United States.

Payment by VA under 38 U.S.C. 1725 on behalf of a veteran to a provider
of emergency treatment shall, unless rejected and refunded by the
provider within 30 days of receipt, extinguish all liability on the part
of the veteran for that emergency treatment. Neither the absence of a
contract or agreement between VA and the provider nor any provision of a
contract, agreement, or assignment to the contrary shall operate to
modify, limit, or negate this requirement. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1725)

**(100)-90 [DIGA (Audit) Memoranda]{.underline}**

90.1 [General.]{.underline}

DIGA memoranda are generally used to circulate special, one-time or
interim instructions to all OA employees. Concurrent with the policy
review requirements contained in Section 70.6, review of all DIGA
memoranda is required. All guidance that is still pertinent will then be
codified into the appropriate manual chapter. DIGA memoranda are for
functional use only and are issued to all functional employees.

90.2 [Nature and Purpose]{.underline}.

DIGA memoranda are issued by the Deputy Inspector General (Audit). Their
purpose is to (a) implement, interpret or elaborate on DIGA policy, and
(b) furnish staff with technical, administrative, and operating
instructions on matters within Audit\'s jurisdiction. DIGA memoranda may
outline policy prior to a TIGTA Operations Manual chapter being issued
or revised.

90.3 [Identification.]{.underline}

DIGA memoranda are identified by a number, which is assigned by the
Office of Management and Policy and is composed of four elements:

1.  Functional Designation - The abbreviation of the function
    responsible for issuing the memorandum (i.e., DIGA).

2.  Fiscal Year - The first two digits of a DIGA memorandum represents
    the fiscal year (FY) during which the memorandum was issued.

3.  Consecutive Number - This number is assigned sequentially to
    memoranda as they are issued during a FY (i.e., DIGA:00-001,
    DIGA:00-002, etc.).

4.  Supplemental Number \-- This number is used for the purpose of
    updating and clarifying information provided in a prior DIGA
    memorandum. The number is assigned sequentially as follows:
    DIGA:00-002 (Supplement 1).

90.4 [Review and Clearance]{.underline}.

The DIGA will obtain clearance from Chief Counsel and the Performance
function before issuing a DIGA memorandum involving interim guidance
that may eventually be incorporated into the Operations Manual.
Initiators will determine the need to incorporate this information into
the TIGTA Operations Manual. The DIGA will also obtain clearance from
other functional offices when deemed necessary.
