<br />measurements at their pre-determined locations each month, through the . <br />course of the year. <br /> <br />National Science Foundati~n Cooperative Education Grant. The NRM <br />teamed with Mesa State University to develop a cooperative student and <br />faculty exchange program. The students and faculty from each institution <br />would seamlessly transfer and be able to complete classes and <br />environmental work as needed. One successful project has been secured <br />that entails the monitoring and evaluation or uranium mine tails waste <br />within the Grand Junction area. Funding for this effort may be provided <br />through a successfully procured National Science Foundation Grant. <br /> <br />Operable Unit 6 Radioisotope Trace Study. For the EPA, the NRM <br />designed, documented and completed the field work necessary to sample <br />groundwater throughout the California Gulch superfund site for <br />radioisotope content which would assist with the aging and classification <br />of the water. The effort entailed the development of a field sampling plan, <br />the completion of all field work including sample collection from surface <br />water and groundwater locations, in-situ water quality analysis, and <br />shipment and documentation of samples. Results will be used to <br />understand the hydrology of the groundwater associated with California <br />Gulch. <br /> <br />USFWS Passerine Bird Study: The CMC NRM is responsible for the field . <br />support of sampling of passerine bird species in order to obtain blood <br />samples for the analysis of enzyme inhibition. This is a direct measure of <br />metals exposure and possible impacts attributable to mine-waste <br />contamination. <br /> <br /> <br />Ie <br />
