Evaluation of the Performance of Statistical Tests Used in Making Cleanup Decisions at Superfund Sites. Part 2: Real World Implications of Using Various Decision Rules
Authors: Berman DW , Allen BC , Van Landingham CB 
Published: March 2009

This is the second paper of a study in which decision rules commonly employed to determine the need for cleanup are evaluated both to identify the conditions under which they may lead to erroneous conclusions and to quantify the rate at which such errors may occur. In this paper, performance is evaluated for such rules when applied to data exhibiting a range of characteristics commonly exhibited by environmental data. Results are reported for simulations involving data exhibiting normal distributions, lognormal distributions, and P-lognormal distributions (lognormal distributions with additional, finite density at zero). Some of the data sets employed were also censored.
Results indicate that none of the decision rules commonly applied to environmental data provide the advertised statistical control over the complete range of characteristics commonly exhibited by field data from hazardous waste sites. However, rules derived for normally distributed data or (modified from those derived for such data) appear to provide reasonable control of error rates that, appropriately, improve with increasing sample size. Also, because the advertised statistical control is seldom realized, it does not appear valid to prefer tests for which such formal control is inherent. Decision errors may best be controlled by matching selected decision rules to the observed characteristics of data.
A Risk Based Decision Model to Optimize Remediation Choices at a Superfund Site
Authors: Wang TA , McTernan WF , Willett KD 
Published: March 2009

A study was initiated which combined elements of stochastic hydrology, risk assessment, simulation modeling, cost analysis and decision making to define the optimum remediation choice(s) for a Superfund site in east Texas. The underlying premise of this effort was that environmental decision making is inherently complex due to uncertainties in contaminant concentrations and resultant exposures. The technical analyst should supply the decision maker with estimates of these uncertainties as well as the cost penalties required to reduce them to manageable levels.
This study employed Monte Carlo transport modeling to define the probability of contaminant excursions from the site, applied geostatistical simulation to existing data sets, used Bayesian modeling to define the worth of additional data and Decision Modeling to define optimum configurations. These individual components were combined to produce a decision model which defined remediation alternatives given levels of risk tolerance which could be supplied by the decision maker or affected community.

Evaluation of Field Water Infiltration Test Results of Windows and Sliding Glass Door Assemblies Installed in New Construction Projects
Authors: Beers PE , Smith WD 
Published: March 2009

This paper presents an analysis of the results of field water infiltration tests of windows and sliding glass door assemblies that were conducted within the last five years. In all cases, the tests were conducted during the new construction process.
The tests were performed using ASTM Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetration of Installed Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors by Uniform or Cyclic Static Air Pressure Difference (E 1105). The results show a majority of windows and sliding glass door assemblies fail initial field water infiltration tests, which is compelling evidence that these tests are prudent as part of a new construction process.
Considerations for Waterproofing of Wood-Framed Buildings
Authors: Schroter EF , Klein KA 
Published: March 2009

Wood-framed construction is an important part of the residential housing industry, and has been so for decades. While some of the waterproofing materials and technology available to the construction industry have improved dramatically in the past 10 years, the basic precepts and many of the basic materials for waterproofing have not changed. In fact, many of these basic principles appear to have been forgotten or discarded in the wake of technological improvements. We have seen an increased reliance upon sealants, thin veneers and barrier wall waterproofing systems, and less attention paid to the importance of the underlying flashing systems. Many diverse industry organizations have attempted to set standards for installation practices as related to their own area of practice; i.e., the NRCA and SMACNA; however, there is no single source that ties these disparate standards together and binds them into a unified resource for the design professional. Our experiences in the field show that it is necessary for the design profession to take a controlling interest in waterproofing standards. When specific conditions are not detailed, builders all too often rely upon the minimum, code-compliant installation practices, which are often inadequate.
While a unified standard is required, care must be taken to insure that the standard is fair, not overly prescriptive and recognizes the contribution of individual building elements to the overall waterproofing integrity and comfort of the structure. In addition, the standard must recognize the economic restrictions often placed on residential construction. While certain waterproofing systems and materials may be desirable, they may impose an unfair economic burden upon the builder and, consequently, upon the consumer.

Integration of Virtual Experiment Technology for Materials Design
Authors: Nishikawa N , Nagano C , Koike H 
Published: March 2009

Materials design by the use of computer is expected due to the recent progress of high-performance computing. The success of such design will rely on the integration of various elements of computational technology such as simulation, knowledge information processing, the human interface, and a database into a practical system. In the past, various elements of computational technology, such as simulation and knowledge information processing, were researched individually. However, the integration of these technologies has not yet been established.
This paper describes the conceptual design of a virtual experiment system that consists of the integration of various elements of technology. The system is computer-based and the components include a numerical simulation sub-system, a database, a database management software, and a visualization sub-system. The database and numerical simulation sub-system will work co-operatively to provide the best possible quality of information. This information is an estimation of materials properties, character, and function and will allow the discovery and understanding of new materials.

SITE EVALUATION PROCEDURES FOR INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEMS IN DISTURBED SOILS
Authors: Wespetal MS , Schirmers SB 
Published: March 2009

Soil pedogenic processes produce an aggregation of soil particles which results in the development of soil structure. In turn, the development of soil structure increases the porosity and interconnection of soil pores. This process has a positive affect on the rate of fluid movement. When soils are moved, manipulated or compacted, the soil structure is damaged or destroyed or particles rearranged, which for many soil textures and flow regimes, reduces the soil's ability to transmit fluids.
Codes which govern the design of individual sewage treatment systems were developed under the assumption that systems were to be placed in natural soils. Therefore, if a proposed system is to be designed for an area of disturbed soils, the methods described in the code may not directly apply. This may result in premature hydraulic failure of the system. The application of Minnesota's ISTS code in disturbed soils has resulted in failures at a frequency of concern to the state regulatory agency. Revisions to Minnesota's code classifies systems placed in or on disturbed soils as being experimental. The classification is meant to identify these systems as having an unknown degree of reliability and to provide a data gathering process at the state level to monitor the performance of various designs to overcome disturbance.
This paper describes the problems associated with disturbed soils, the methods of proper field identification, how to quantify the extent of disturbance and briefly discusses some mitigative measures in an attempt to overcome these limitations.
