Five a permnent air quality monitoring stations were in to record oxides of nitrogen, carbon .monoxide, sulfur dioxide, part- iculate, acid mist and meteorological data. Over 5000 surface water, groundwater, soils and plant tissue samples were acquired to determine concentrations of trace metals, nitrates, sulfates and other substances. Earth. Metrics then developed and validated a complete model to trace the transport of pollutants among air, water, soil and biotic media. Earth Metrics utilized the technical results to develop industrial. master plans and crop protection phos for the area. Our engineers were also involved with the energy and cost analysis of alternate tertiary treatment of industrial effluent. Dow Chemical Plant E'xnans-ion Solano and Contra Costa Counties California. This extensive air quality analysis examined the Statewide implication of major in dustrial proposed facilities. Earth Metrics, working on EIS and EIR growth for the documents in association with J.

Earth Metrics conducted an analysis of growth related and coastal planning issues in three interrelated studies in North Monterey County. The study area, encompassing 15,000 acres, is an environmentally sensitive area under the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. All work in this area involved close coordination with the Coastal Commission; Department of ® Fish and Game, the Regional Water Quality Control BoGrd, Monterey'County and * local planning agencies. ' Analysis included evaluation of the development impacts on putlic access to and recreational use of the coast, preservation of 'identified coastal resources including the Elkhorn and Moro Cojo Sloughs, and relationship of the proposed uses to the long term land use plans of the surrounding central coastal region. The studies included extensive development suitability mapping of groundwater, biological, and igeotechnical factors._ Special attention was given to regional water supply and sewage disposal alternatives.

A detailed field investigation Was conducted of soils characteristics and septic suit- ability for an 80 acre parcel previously used for irrigated pasture. Earth Metrics excavated a total ;of 30 trenches to a depth of 15 :feet in order to cla$sify the loam, sandy and granitic soils and determine optimum layout of lots and septic fields., Percolation tests were conducted in 20 shallow trenches in order to•determine worst case (saturation) ability of soils to take up ,applied aqueous wastes. Earth Metrics also conducted an analysis of optimum well con- figuration to supply, potable water for an eventual subdivision, while maintain- ing isolation of the aquifer from all septic fields.

We have a complete line of field - monitoring e4uipment and a mobile -laboratory to deploy when collection of new data is required, especially to measure air quality, community noise and meteorology. We use company owned Digital Equipment Corporation WT 78 computers and a IMSAI VDP 44 computer for applications in air quality, water quality and community noise programs, as well as word processing.' We also have our own high 'speed on line printers used with these computer ystems. In addition, we have a complete graphic arts capability and extensive technical libraries spanning the environmental sciences, planning and environmental legal and documents.

In order, to attract minorities, Earth Metrics has been engaged in is student training and workshop series with local high, schools having a significant black enrollment. Part. time clerks and technicians are recruited from the schools' Work Opportunity Prograrss. The students train at Earth Metrics for at least five: weeks, during which they,are exposed to,a variety of tasks consistent with their,a abilities and interest. They are evaluated by Earth Metrics and given a grade and high school credit for their work. In addition, we are ho,gseries ongoing workshops wher,ebv students interested in t environmental careers'meet our technical staff and are given a thorough overview of one'or more major projects.
