Arsenic interests include: Regional (New England) distribution of arsenic in ground water from bedrock wells and sources and mobility of arsenic. The NECB NAWQA is currently designing and conducting studies of waters in private domestic bedrock wells to help determine the regional context; we are also involved in proposed and current studies with collaborators such as the National Cancer Institute, Dartmouth College, the States of New Hampshire and Maine to address source, mobility, and controls on arsenic in bedrock wells.

SHRIMP RG now has the ability to measure As concentrations. This is one pay off of adding the Cs ion source, which has been in operation for a couple of months (I'm overdue in getting info to the science panel on status of the RG; waiting for completion of visit from programmer and engineer). As with any trace element measurement, having an independently analyzed standard for reference is necessary to get accurate concentration data. Joe Wooden says that they have looked at As in sulfides and in silicate glass (doped with trace elements). If people want to measure As concentrations in other materials, they may need to help with standard development. The point is that the As Studies Group needs to be aware of the SHRIMP RG lab. What we can offer, which LA-ICP-MS and other microbeam techniques probably can not, is high sensitivity and high spatial resolution (probably 20 micrometer diameter or less analysis spot, maximum of a few micrometers penetration). We also could do depth profiling.

As-related research interests: The Minnesota Department of Transportation contacted our office for technical assistance relating to As levels in fly ash from coal-fired power plants. They plan to use ash in some phases of road construction, and are concerned about the potential for leaching of As from the ash into ground water. The State of Minnesota has ongoing research on As levels in ground water and humans that consume high-As groundwater. See: http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/esa/hra/mehp97/mars.html
In one statewide survey, 1% of 954 wells across the state exceeded the current 50 ppb drinking-water standard; 36% exceeded 3 ppb. Thus, As in groundwater is a concern in the State, particularly in view of the newly proposed 5 ppb standard. See: http://spot.pca.state.mn.us/water/groundwater/pubs/arsenic.pdf
We (USGS-MN District) are interested in studying ground-water As levels as related to aquifer characteristics. Some data exist (NAWQA and NURE data), but little or no interpretation of these data has been conducted, and no funding partners have been identified.

There are a number of currently funded projects in the Eastern Region-involving WRD, GD, etc-- that have tasks looking at Arsenic in the Environment. To give a national breadth to the organizing group, I suggest you contact Robert Ayuso and Bob Seal who co-lead the GD Environmental studies in the East project. (They are both returning from travel at the end of this week.) Or Rob Robinson who is leading a task (with Ayuso and WRD) on As in New England. The overall project has a number of tasks aimed at both regional studies and process-related research (New England and other areas) involving arsenic, Ayuso or Robinson would be good additions to the steering committee as their expertises are radiogenic isotopic/geochemistry studies (Ayuso) and geochemistry/thermodynamics (Robinson); respectively. Also, Marty G. and R. Ayuso are working together in southeast US on some arsenic questions.

The Michigan District conducted a study of arsenic in ground water in 9 Michigan counties between 1997-1999. I served as the coordinator for the study. The study was conducted in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and 9 County Departments of Public Health. The study was conducted as 1 of 4 USGS Drinking Water Initiative studies, and was a collaboration between WRD, NMD and GD, with additional participation of Jerome Nriagu at the Univ. of Michigan. A data report has been prepared, as well as Fact Sheets for each of the counties. Several journal articles will also result from this study. A variety of maps and GIS coverages have been prepared or are underway. Several presentations have been made at various national and international meetings. The data has been presented to USEPA at various stages of their process for establishing the new proposed standard. Efforts are underway for an epidemiological study of arsenic-related health effects in Michigan. Briefly, some of the data acquired include:
aqueous chemistry for 56 private wells, 20 public water supply wells and 38 monitoring wells in the 9-county study area (including arsenic species for many of these wells provided by Jerome Nriagu at the Univ. of Michigan)
depth-specific bedrock samples and aqueous chemistry from packed-interval sampling at similar depths in 2 newly-drilled wells that span the major bedrock aquifer (Marshall Sandstone) in the study area
GIS coverage of arsenic concentration, well-depth and associated aquifer for approximately 2500 wells in the 9-county study area, derived from Michigan well-drilling and laboratory analysis records
analyses of arsenic and trace metals in bedrock core from the two newly-drilled wells provided by Alan Kolker, GD, Reston
analyses of arsenic leaching characteristics from samples of the Marshall Sandstone, provided by Jerome Nriagu at the University of Michigan
Analyses of within-well flow characteristics and geophysical logs for the newly-drilled wells, conducted by Fred Paillet, WRD; and WRD staff in the Michigan District.
The newly-drilled wells are still open for sampling, as are several NAWQA-installed monitoring wells in the shallow glacial drift aquifer, and substantial bedrock core remains.

As-related research interests:
I am currently working as a Hydrologist on the Delmarva NAWQA focusing on water quality problems associated with Animal Feeding Operations. There are several organic arsenic feed amendments used for poultry and swine in my study area. I have helped to organize collaborative arrangements with many academic researchers and other Federal Agencies on this subject. We are particularly interested in the speciation and fate and transport of arsenic on the Delmarva, since there is so much poultry production and subsequent manure spreading on fields. We recently completed a few days of intensive field work in the Pocomoke River basin, in which we sampled ground water, surface water, agricultural soils, bed sediment, and poultry litter for arsenic speciation. We sampled several different sites collecting surface water (with bed sediments and agricultural soils) and ground water representing varying degrees on agricultural influence. In addition, we collected a few ground-water samples from different depths in the Beaverdam Formation, which is known to have relatively high concentrations of heavy metals and may provide a natural source of arsenic.
Field Areas:
Areas of intensive animal agriculture including the Pocomoke River basin, Delmarva Peninsula (poultry) and the Shenandoah Valley, Potomac River basin, Virginia (poultry and hog).

Much of my work at the moment concerns trace elements, including As, in rocks, leachates, groundwater, plants and animals associated with the western U.S. lands associated with phosphate mining. These phosphatic shales are rich in trace elements of geoenvironmental concern; several elements, notably Se, V, Cr, Ni, and Zn, commonly have concentrations in excess of 1000 ppm. We are just starting to get a handle on the rock water interaction. 24-hour passive leachate experiments in 20:1 water:rock show concentrations of these elements at the 1000 ppb range. Concerning As, rock concentrations tend to 50 ppm and leachate concentrations to 40 ppb. These As concentrations are not as alarming as those of the other mentioned elements, but As, nonetheless, is an important element to follow geochemically in this system.

I am just in the process now of writing a proposal for a land-use study in an area of the Navajo Reservation called "Hopi Buttes". The Buttes are actually diatremes and maar volcanoes which locally act as conduits for groundwater flow, and have springs associated with them. The proposal I am working on will be looking at mineralization associated with the diatremes which may have a high occurrence of both U and As. EPA water quality analyses from the area have up to 237 micrograms/Liter As. 39% of the wells and springs sampled in the area exceeded the present EPA standard of 10 mg/L. Because the water quality study is new, I'm relatively certain that there is not much published on As in the area. As contamination is a subject that is new to me, and I could certainly benefit from the expertise that your group has to offer.

I am working part time on a USEPA Superfund Site in Southeast Pennsylvania that has arsenic in the ground water at concentrations greater than 10,000 mg/L. It was a former animal drug manufacturing plant. The arsenic was added to the drugs to aid absorption in the animals. Currently, the site is being treated via pump-and-treat methods to contain the arsenic plume and remediate the ground water through a sludge cake process. A ground water model has been run on the area, but needs to be recalibrated to include additional pumping and monitor wells. I recently suggested to the USEPA RPM the possibility of using plant cores to identify the extent of the arsenic. Unfortunately, he did not want to deviate from his pump-and-treat methods, but did think it might prove useful at other sites.

I am presently preparing a manuscript concerning the distribution of As in stream-sediment samples (primarily reanlyzed NURE) that cover large parts of 13 2-degree quadrangles in Northern Nevada, Northeast California, and Southeast Oregon. We will be examining both the regional distribution of arsenic through wavelength filtering
techniques applied to the data, and to identify more local concentrations of arsenic, by examining the residual anomalies after subtracting the regional trends. We are hoping to use geochemistry to help map basement structural features through the overlying supracrustal rocks.Frank T. Manheim

As a part of our contaminated sediment database activities (Boston Harbor - Gulf of Maine, southern LA estuaries) I have extensive analytical data on arsenic as well as other metals and organic contaminants in bottom sediments. Other extensive databases are in preparation by Marilyn B. ten Brink for Long Island Sound and the New York Bight.
For Lake Pontchartrain see example of summary table: http://coast-enviro.er.usgs.gov/PontGeochem/html/FM_disc.htm#Table11
This is a large, highly-valued estuary fronting New Orleans. This is part of an electronic Professional Paper which is now in Publications for editing, and includes downloadable data on 1600 + sediment samples in SE coastal Louisiana.
The mean arsenic values here are low, but they increase markedly in proximity to urban shorelines and in inland waterways. In earlier periods federal agencies and other concerned organizations looked for hot spots. In our judgment it is also important to know baselines and "how clean is clean".

My arsenic related interest:
I am the Wildlife Pathologist at the USGS/BRD-National Wildlife Health Center, Madison, WI that performs forensic pathology for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Law Enforcement. I would be interested in becoming familiar with new research being performed by USGS scientists. I am not sure what format the Studies Group will take but I would be interested in how it develops and how I might be involved. Although a summary of arsenic related wildlife mortality has not been published by the NWHC, it would seem to be a timely product for us to work on. I will be at USGS Headquarters in Reston for an 8 wk detail, June 13 - Aug 8, '00. I will be working out of Sue Haseltine's office but do not know my contact numbers in Reston as yet. I will return to NWHC, and the contact numbers that are listed above, August 21.

My project has an intensive research effort on arsenic. We are interested in bacterial reduction of arsenic oxyanions (in sediments, anoxic waters, pure cultures, and by isolated enzymes), and in bacterial oxidation of reduced arsenic compounds (eg, arsenite, arsines). This subject has broad application to basic geochemistry, biochemistry, environmental remediation, and even "astrobiology." Also of interest is the metablism of organoarsenic compounds like arsenobetaine.
I would be interested in learning what the USGS plans to to do about As, whether enhanced research funds are available, and what bureau-wide programs may arise as a fallout of the ruminations of this As panel.

I am interested in arsenic from the perspective of its presence in surface sediment in the southwestern U.S. and its transport as aeolian dust to areas away from the sources. Owens (dry) Lake appears to be a particularly important source of As in dust in this region. Naturally, health effects of inhalation of such As-bearing dust is a related issue.

I am very interested in the origin, genesis, and dispersal of As in the Appalachians. My specific work has focused on As in coal and associated strata with researchers from the Kentucky Geological Survey and the Center for Applied Energy Research. We have documented high As concentrations in Middle Pennsylvanian economic coal beds in KY. The As is associated with large (>200 um), radiating pyrite grains. The As is not expected to be released during coal combustion because large pyrite grains should be removed during coal cleaning. However, it MAY pose a threat to groundwater when the coal refuge is dumped in spoils piles. I'm currently working with Marty Goldhaber and other Central Region, Minerals folks on extending a basinal brine model for As from the Black Warrior Basin into the central and northern Appalachian coal regions. Marty briefed Bonnie McGregor and Dave Russ on the hypothesis last month and gave preliminary results of reanalyzed NURE samples from streams in the Appalachians.

As-related research interests:
NO3- can mobilize Se. The opposite is true for As. Oxidizing conditions caused by NO3- can
oxidize As(III) to As(IV), thereby immobilizing dissolved As in the hydrologic environment. For example,
oxidation of AsO2- by NO2- produces AsO43- with DGR0 of -52 kJ/mol (Wright, 1995, p. 486).

As-related research interests: Our research staff, also in collaboration with colleagues of the Dipartimento di Chimica Inorganica ed Analitica (Cagliari), is studying the geochemical processes, both at a macro- and a molecular-scale, which lead to the release/removal of As into/from waters. These studies aim to recognizing, describing and modelling the water-rock interaction processes which affect, or may potentially affect, the quality of waters, in terms of As contamination, in arid or semi-arid regions (e.g. Sardinia in Italy, Antofagasta in Chile). In particular, we are focussing on: (i) the solid-state speciation of As in complex, heterogeneous materials (mine tailings, stream sediments, soils); (ii) the possible competitive effect of other anions on As adsorption mechanism and (iii) the surface reactivity of enargite (Cu3AsS4).

I am a geologist working in the solid waste program at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. I am responsible for monitoring environmental impacts at solid waste landfills in the lower Hudson Valley of southeastern New York State. Data I have collected and reviewed indicates that arsenic frequently exceeds the applicable NYS groundwater quality standard (0.025 mg/L) in groundwater downgradient of many of our numerous unlined landfills. High concentrations of arsenic have also been observed in iron floc deposits which are associated with leachate discharge zones adjacent to these landfills. I am interested in becoming a member of your group in order to find out about current and planned research relating to this problem. I have not published any of the data yet but plan to do so shortly. I will be presenting at the 21st Annual International Conference on Soils, Sediments and Water held at the University of Massachusetts at Amhesrst on Oct 17-20, 2005.

I am with the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development with the Canadaian Government. We have set up a project team to manage the bankruptcy and transfer of Royal Oak Mines properties in the Northwest Territories ( our jurisdiction in Canada). The major issue is managing 365,000 tons of arsenic trioxide dust stored underground in 15 chambers at the Giant Mine. The material was produced as a byproduct of roasting arsenopyrite ore for 50ish years. As you can imagine there are significant hydrogeology, health, environmental and logistical concerns associated with monitoring this and developing an acceptable long term management program for this material.
We are looking in 4 major areas: 1) current in-situ conditions and methods of long term storage 2) methods for extraction to surface 3) reprocess for sale as arsenic trioxide and potential gold recovery 4) conversion into an environmentally stable form with potential gold recovery. We have a number of completed and ongoing studies relating to the arsenic issue.
Please keep us in mind as you develop your group. I will be at the San Diego arsenic conference in June. It may be a good time to touch base if you or any of the other group is attending.
