Coast Survey

Charles Henry Davis was eommissioned as midshipman in 1823. He served on a frigate until 1828 in the Pacific, and was promoted to lieutenant in 1834. From 1846 to 1849, he worked for the US Coast Survey, discovering a previously unknown shoal that had caused shipwrecks off the coast from New York. He was also responsible for researching tides and currents and acted as inspector for various shipyards. From 1849 to 1855 he was the first superintendent of the American Nautical Almanac Office. 

Philadelphia PA. He designed the standard balance used in government assays and coining offices and also was until his death the superintendent of weights and measures for the US Coast Survey, Washington DC. He further had invented a fusible metal seal and an ever-sharp pencil. Saxton was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.

Office of Coast Survey http //www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/ (accessed June 22, 2010). A part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Coast Survey is the oldest scientific organization in the United States. The Office of Coast Survey produces navigational charts and related publications, provides information on navigational obstructions and hydrographic surveys, and supports research in the field.

Marine navigation tools are necessary to ensure safe and efficient marine transportation and commerce, offshore engineering projects, naval operations, and recreational activities. The Office of Coast Survey (OCS), which is part of NOAA s National Ocean Service (NOS), is responsible for providing tools such as nautical charts and hydrographic surveys.

A survey by national park personnel indicates that large areas of the United States are subject to varying degrees of visibility degradation (1). The middle portion of the eastern half of the country and the Florida Gulf Coast are subject to widespread hazy air masses associated with stagnation conditions. Large portions of the western half of the country are subject... 

The first reports of plastic in the North Atlantic indicated the presence of 50-12,000 particles/km in the Sargasso Sea in 1972 (52) and from 0-14.1 particles per m in coastal waters of southern New England (42), where the main source was river-borne effluents from plastic fabrication plants (44). Plastic objects discarded from boats and from recreational activities on beaches were the main sources of debris in Narragansett Bay, being deposited at a rate of 9.6 g m of beach front per month (53). During a detailed survey off the southeast coast of the United States (43, 54), fragments of plastic were present in about 70% of the samples collected from the waters of the continental shelf, the continental slope and the Gulf Stream between Florida and Cape Cod, 50% of those from the Caribbean Sea, and 60% of those from the Antilles Current. Since unprocessed plastic was more prevalent in continental shelf waters and fabricated objects were common offshore but rare near land, the authors surmised...

A survey of available Th data for the ocean basins demonstrated that the highest concentrations are found nearer to the coasts, and it was concluded that while eolian inputs likely dominated the budget in the open ocean and could account for increases near the coast, fluvial inputs may be more important in coastal regions. This implies that some a mechanism causes recycling of Th that has been removed to estuarine sediments (Huh et al. 1989). A study of an ice-covered region of the western Arctic Ocean found that significant amounts of °Th and Th were advected into the basin (Edmonds et al. 1998). Therefore, it appears that while long-lived Th isotopes are rapidly removed into estuarine sediments, transport into the ocean basins may continue. 

Figure 20.1 shows the number of Class I wells in the 1986 survey by state, divided into U.S. EPA regions, and also indicates the regulatory status of such wells in each state as of 1989. The map shows the heavy concentration of hazardous waste injection wells in three geologic basins Gulf Coast, Illinois Basin, and the Michigan Basin.1 3 ... 

In order to observe the decline of triphenyltin level in fish, The Environment Agency of the Japanese government collected fishes from 35 sites all over the Japanese coasts and carried out a survey of the triphenyltin concentration66. Experimental results are illustrated in Figure 6. 

In view of these complexities, environmental studies that seek to verify proposed cause-effect relationships between contamination and response need to be carefully designed to avoid bias and misunderstanding. Most environmental assessments adopt a multi-tiered approach to testing, in which combinations of biological responses (biomarkers) are measured in tissue samples, body fluids or at the whole organism level to indicate exposure to or adverse effects of contamination.8.

Strength Habitability surveys conducted at CP (command post) upon arrival of Haz-Mat team. EPA conducted surveys at CP upon their arrival. SRS (Savannah River Site) and Richmond County Haz-Mat resources arrived on scene within a timely manner and were designated by FDIC (Fire Department Incident Commander) to be responsible for Haz-Mat operations. Haz-Mat personnel assisted in CP location determination. EPA utilized Coast Guard Gulf Coast Strike Team to provide monitoring and on scene response. By comparing consist (a list of all the cars in the train which describes their position in the train, type, contents, destination, etc.) to entry team visual inspection, chemicals involved were accurately identified. Written response plan and safety procedures implemented for Haz-Mat operations. Briefings provided to Haz-Mat responders by Safety Officer on entry considerations maps were covered for responders unfamiliar with the area.
