CRESP Amchitka Implementation Plan Summary
BY Charles W. Powers, CRESP II PI

In the documents found on this page of the CRESP website, the reader will find an extensive discussion of how CRESP II plans to implement its Amchitka Scientific Assessment Plan (June 24, 2003) with a series of activities that begin in the field (June 12 - August 8, 2004) and, with data analysis and synthesis, are planned to be completed by late Spring 2005. When completed this work is intended to help determine:

1. whether there is any current threat to human healthand the environment from leakage into the Island's sea waters from nuclear tests shots at Amchitka; and
2. a baseline of biological, physical and other data that should aid in the reduction of uncertainty and the development of a long-term stewardship plan (likely including subsequent monitoring against the baseline) now scheduled for completion during FY2005.
