PROGRAM REVIEW
CHESAPEAKE BAY-SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASINS PROJECT
I
JANUARY 23-24, 1964
-------
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
An adequate description of the Project's long-range
goals and objectives is contained in the "Prospectus-
Comprehensive Water Quality Project, Chesapeake Bay-
Susquehanna River Basins" under the three sections entitled
"Basic Concepts," "Elements," and "Organization of the
Projecto" The "basic philosophy contained in these sections
remains valid for the over-all operational ftlan of the
Project. Budgetary reality and certain external influences
demand program flexibility within these policy guidelines.
Although certain specific activities contained in last
year's program review document such as stream and oceano-
graphic studies and installation of automatic water quality
monitoring units have been delayed or curtailed, the basic
operational approach remains the same.

FUNCTIONAL STATEMENT
Office of Project Director
Within the general policy guidelines of the regional
office, and after full knowledge and concurrence of the
Regional Program Director concerned, project formulation,
policy, budget, staffing, over-all direction and supervision
will "be initiated and promulgated at this level. Personnel
of this office will "be charged with the responsibility for
coordinating the cooperative and contractual activities of
the participating Federal, State, interstate, local and
private agencies and organizations. This project unit will
be responsible for organization and utilization procedures
involving advisory groups, inter-agency committees, and
consultant contractors associated through program sponsorship.
In order to promote and insure close coordination of the
project in both Regions II and III, meetings of the Regional
Program Directors, Project Director and appropriate members
of the project staff will be held quarterly (and when
necessary more often) to review the progress and discuss
future project development, especially those phases that
involve basic policy decisions and that impinge directly
on other projects or programs.
-------
2
Economic Services
The Project will obtain the necessary assistance from
the Economic Section of the Water Supply and Pollution Control
program of the regional office. This unit will supervise the
economic contract with the National Planning Association and
assist the Project in the converting of economic projections
into water requirements and pollutLonal loads.
Committees
One or more committees are proposed to represent the
various public and private interests of the Basin. The
decision as to number and composition of such groups will
be made through consultation and discussion with the Basin's
jurisdictions and agencies.
These committees will advise on the needs and require-
ments of the Basin and on the planning to study the problems.
In addition, they will be able to develop an appreciation for.,
and an acceptancy of, the water quality management program as
it is being developed.
The regional office and Project have several representa-
tives on the Corps of Engineers' Susquehanna River Basin
Study Coordinating Committee and sub-committees » These
committees are to coordinate the activities of Federal and
State agencies working in the field of water resource
development.
-------
3
Programing and Coordination Section
This section provides technical staff assistance to the
Office of the Director in the programing of activities to
fulfill the mission of the Stations and assures that time
schedules are met. It also serves as an advisor and consultant
to the Field Stations to insure uniformity in investigations,
report preparation, and program development as well as carrying
on the operational functions of the Project in Charlottesville.
This section assists the Project Director in final reviews of
all Project reports prior to submission to the regional office.
Data Systems Development and Processing Unit
Analyses data processing requirements and develops
methodology for processing oceanographic, hydrographic, chemi-
cal, biological, and engineering data. Maintains close liaison
with field station personnel engaged in the collection of data.
Advises in the selection of suitable field and data processing
techniques and integrates them into a cohesive program for the
accomplishment of the project studies. Performs consultative
services as required by the various units in the Project and
insures coordination with other projects and activities within
the Public Health Service that are engaged in similar endeavors.
Designs data storage and retrieval programs in such a
manner that scientific data will be readily available for sum-
mary, computation, or analyses as desired by the Chief of the
Programing and Coordination Section. Performs non-computer type
-------
3a
calculations when necessary in special oceanographic analyses
as required. These analyses consist of quantitative oceanographic
procedures as recognized lay the oceanographic profession* The
performance of these procedures will be handled at the request
of the project oceanographer. The specificity of certain types
of oceanographic data will necessitate the employment of tech-
niques not readily adaptable to machine computations. Computer
programs will, however, be developed for standard engineering
calculation whenever such calculations are deemed feasible by the
unit chief.
Is consulted by the Economic Services Section and the
field station to determine the best programing techniques to
use in the development of water requirements and pollution loads
from demographic and economic projections.
Reviews scientific literature to obtain guidance from
previous experience, discovers new and improved methods and
techniques in data handling for carrying out project objectives.
This unit will keep abreast of general developments in the field
of data processing with particular interest in oceanographic and
sanitary engineering-type data. Explores new techniques in pro-
cessing data whenever such technology are deemed applicable to
project objectives„
The Planning and Reports Unit is responsible for advising
the Chief of the Programing and Coordination Section on over-all
-------
b
planning for project activities, formulation of the comprehensive
water quality program, and the preparation and publication of the
final project reports.,
Personnel of this unit will develop the vork outlines
for the over-all activities of the Project„ These outlines
will be based upon literature search, consultation with the vari-
ous governmental units involved, and a knowledge of the engineer-
ing aspects of water quality control programs. The work plan
based upon these outlines must reflect an understanding of the
interrelationship between the several levels of government as
well as the several professional and technical fields which are
concerned in water resources development.
Technical reports of the various investigations by the
Programing and Coordination Section and economic reports will
be reviewed to guide and direct the formulation of a program for
water quality control. It is within this unit that the economic,
social, engineering, land use, planning and other aspects of such
programing must be analyzed and integrated to produce an effective
comprehensive program. To this end, certain special studies in
the fields of zoning and land use may be initiated and reported
upon as a function of this unit.
The staff of this unit will be responsible for the preparatLcn
of the final reports including special mapping, illustrations,
etc., to produce a distinctive publication. Professional writers
-------
5
will be employed to provide the most effective presentation of
the program.
Administration Section
This section will provide the administrative services
necessary for the entire Project.
Susquehanna Field Station
Based upon the mission of the station as set forth "by the
Project headquarters, the Chief will develop requirements as to
personnel, equipment, supplies, and budget to accomplish the
mission in the time schedule set forth. The Chief will see to
it that the mission is accomplished to the greatest degree possi-
ble within the limits of available resources.
Personnel at this level will carry on day-to-day contacts
with Federal, State, and local agencies in the Susquehanna River
Basin, direct and coordinate the activities of the Data
Analysis, Projections, and Reports Unit, Laboratory Unit, and
Stream and Special Studies Unit. The Station will be responsible
for organization, analysis and interpretation of the data. Reports
will be prepared containing data summaries, analysis of current
situation, assimilative capacities, reasonable predictions of
future conditions, and initiate plans for the water quality manage-
ment program. Some of these reports will appear in the appendices
and some will be used in part or in total in the final project
report.

COMSULTAJSTS AND COMMITTEES
10
During F» Y. 1964 the Project utilized the services of
Mro Einanuel Mehr of New York University and Dr. James
Carpenter of Johns Hopkins University. Mr. Mehr consulted
vith the Project's data system analyst regarding programs
for the storage and retrieval of data and subsequent calcu-
lations required. Dr. Carpenter consulted with staff of the
Susquehanna Field Station regarding the operation of the
flourometer used in rhodaraine dye studies.
Until now the Project has dealt with each State
individual!y and has established one State agency as the
official contact point for activities in that State.
However, this does not preclude discussions with other
State agencies as required.
Director of the Project is a member of the Technical
Advisory Committee of the Maryland Water Supply and
Requirements which is being sponsored by the Maryland
Department of Planning. This agency is the Project's
contact point in the State. The following are the
i
agencies in the remaining States?
-------
II
New York Department of Health )
) New York
Water Resources Commission (for policy) )
Pennsylvania Department of Health ) Pennsylvania
)
Virginia Water Control Board ) Virginia
In the Susquehanna River Basin, the Project is utilizing
the committee structure of the Corps of Engineers1 Study,
whose function is to coordinate the activities of the Federal
and State agencies associated with water resource development.
The following is the Corps' committee structure and the names
of the personnel serving on the committee or sub-committee
or work group:
Coordinating Committee
Member - L. W. Gebhard
Alternate - G. W. Ferguson
Water Sub-Committee
Member - G. W. Ferguson
Alternate - W„ M. Colony
Water Quality Work Group

Public Affairs Sub-Committee
Member - W„ M° Colony
-------
IZ
Recreation Sub-Committee
Member - W. M. Golony
Alternate - H. Lo DeGraff
Economic Ad Hoe Committee
Member - H. L. DeGraff
In addition to these formal contacts through the Corps of
Engineers Coordinating Committee, staff members of the Project
and the Corps of Engineers' Study hold periodical meetings in
order that each is kept amply informed of the other's activities.
Experience has shown that the Project requires advice and
consultation from water users which is not being provided by the
coordinating committee of the Corps of Engineers' Project.
Therefore, discussions are being undertaken leading to the
establishment of two odviooary committees—one for the
Susquehanna River Basin, and one for the Chesapeake area.
These committees would be made up of representatives of
interstate, State, and local agencies which have legal powers
in water pollution control programs. Each of these committee^
would have two sub-committees—-one eompqsed of representatives
of organizations doing work in the water quality control field
and interested in the problem, and the other would be composed
of representatives of water users, polluters, and the public at
large.

ACTIVITIES AMD ACCOMPLISHMENTS - F.Y. I96U
Description of Major Activities
The Project during F.Y. is emphasizing several activities
which are basic to the development of the over-all water quality-
control program. In addition to these basic activities certain
related activities have been or will be undertaken. Each of the
basic activities is discussed below.
River Mile Index (HMl) Mapping and Stream Identification Coding
The chronoflex naps for the Susquehanna Basin and the State
of Maryland have been received. The maps for the remainder of the
Project area are presently being made. Films for these maps have
been purchased from USGS and are now awaiting utilization in prepa-
ration of the chronoflexes. Completion is expected by the end of
the third quarter.
Determination and marking of the river mile indexes, including
interpolation of mileages furnished by the Corps of Engineers, are
complete for approximately120 of the kSS quadrangles. Since RMI's
are basic to the Project program, emphasis is being placed on this
activity to insure rapid completion.
Inventory
The community water and sewerage inventory is complete for
the Susquehanna Basin and State of Maryland. Data summaries and
tabulations of this information will be published within the fiscal
-------
14-
year utilizing computer retrieval programs developed by the
Project.
Industrial water and waste inventories for the Susquehanna
Basin and the State of Maryland are agusMimately 50 per cent com-
plete. The Maryland inventory will he essentially complete by
the end of the fiscal year, whereas the Susquehanna will require
until the end of the first quarter of F.Y. 19&5¦
Computer prograjns for summarization and tabulation of the
industrial data will be developed during the fiscal year.
A review and tabulation of the water quality data within
the Maryland Water Pollution Control Commission files will
begin in the fourth quarter.
Stream Studies
Stream studies with actual field sampling will be
initiated in the lower portion of the Susquehanna Basin.
These studies will be directed at the smaller tributaries,
Swatara, Conestoga, and Codorus Creeks, which are critical
from the standpoint of municipal and industrial waste
loads. The close proximity of these streams to the Field
Station provides an opportunity1 to develop field and
laboratory experience with maximum participation of all
technical members of the Station's staff.
Since the activities of the Project must be
coordinated with the Corps of Engineers within the
-------
2.5
Susquehanna, field programs must be extremely flexible. The
Project must be capable of performing field, studies within a
reasonable period of time In areas where the Corps of Engineers
requires information in order to carry out their program. Flexi-
bility of laboratory and sampling activities is a part of the
operational plan.
Computer Techniques
The Project will begin late in the fiscal year the develop-
ment of computer techniques for stream data analysis with particu-
lar emphasis on assimilation of organic wastes. The Project oxygen
sag program will be used as a base and modified to solve for the
deoxygenation and reaeration constants.
Specific details for these and related activities are con-
tained in the following sections.
-------
Data Storage and Betrieval Activities
The Data Systems Development and Processing Unit is
responsible for placing all raw technical data into the
proper format for computer storage and retrieval. Data
systems are developed and computer programs written to
accelerate the publishing and tabulation of the data.
In addition, statistical programs are developed along with
programming of the general engineering calculations.
At the present time there are two people assigned to
this activity located in headquarters,, Charlottesville. A
statistical clerk will be added in the third quarter of
F. Y. 196^ to assist in the compilation of the basic data
prior to the computer runs.
The accomplishments to date for F. Y. 196^ consisted
of the development of three systems for handling the Project's
basic data. These systems were developed for eomrrcunity
water data5 source-facility water data and industrial waste-
water data. A system for storing sewerage data that was
begun in F. Y. 196.3 was also completed in F. Y. 196^.
The methodology developed for storing this information
was designed to insure flexibility in the actual coding of
the data and also for later data retrieval. It was recognised
from the onset that the hydro logic retrieval would involve
-------
Z7
considerable programming effort and time to code the maps and
pick-off the locations for indexing. In order to use the data
for planning purposes and to publish reports in a minimum of
time, the systems were set up to meet the immediate as well as
the long range needs of the Project.
Only brief mention will be made here with regard to the
success of one of these systems. The data unit had the
opportunity to follow through a large portion of this entire
system using the Project's sewerage inventory data in the
Susquehanna River Basin. The initial form PHS - T7& was
coded; the data was then keypunched and the cards were
verified* Five cards were necessary in order to completely
house all data originally entered on one inventory form.
Printing programs were written and the sewerage data was
printed out first by card type. This print-out was reviewed
for minor inconsistencies with regard to the coding. The
West Branch data was used here in order to point out the
inconsistencies to the personnel coding the forms. This was
a very valuable check and prevented a large amount of
additional work that would have involved considerable clean
up in the card, decks. An example of the type of incon-
sistency in data coding that is difficult to ascertain or
pre-plan for is the large number of possible entries under a
-------
Z8
field heading such as FACILITY' NAME. The problem is1 further
compounded when several people are coding the forms. An example
of this taken from our data is shewn below*
FACILITY NAME
Mun Sew System )
Munc Sew System ) Actually the same
Mun Sewer Srv. )
Munc Au£h )
Mun Authority ) Actually the same
Mun Sew Auth )
Erom this review of the card type print-out for the West
Branch, a standard list of abbreviations were developed. The
coding personnel were sent copies of the print-out together
with a list pointing out improvements to help them gain a
better understanding of data coding.
After coding, keypunching and card verification for all
the data on the Susquehanna (Pennsylvania and New York)
inventory; the card-type program was employed to list the data.
This listing was checked and relatively few errors were found.
The first production-type program that was used on the
Susquehanna sewerage data was written for Project planning
purposes. This enabled the engineers to develop a plan for
the future collection of data at various outfalls in the Basin.
Three additional programs were developed to select
various items from the data and print out this information—
-------
by sub-basin, alphabetically by counties, and alphabetically
by communities within each county.
In the third quarter of F. Y. 1964, the data unit will
have the Susquehanna Community Sewerage report completed and
in published form. This system will enable the Project to
produce a similar report for the State of Maryland in this
quarter also.
Additional work completed by the unit in F. Y. 1964
consisted of writing and publishing the river-mile index
technique so other comprehensive projects may be able to
use the publication as a guide in setting up their systems.
The actual development of the map indexing on the
Project will be complete in the fourth quarter of F. Yo
1964 in the Susquehanna Basin. All of the chronoflexes are
presently in the data unit office for the States of New
York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. In the third quarter of
F. Yo 1964 the Maryland indexing will begin and will extend
into the first quarter of F. Y. 1965°
In the fourth quarter of F. Y« 1964„ the picking off of
the index numbers and mileage from 'the maps will begin and
extend into F„ Y. 1965 • The river-mile indexes will be
entered on IBM cards and inserted into the card decks.
Additional work to be accomplished during the remainder
of F. Yo 1964 will include keypunching and verification of a
-------
30
portion of the industrial waste data and water data. In
addition programs will be written t o print out "by card type
this keypunched data. Also, programs will "be developed to
print out the data in report form.
Flow Regulation Studies
Project personnel are currently engaged in the
preparation of three flow regulation reports for the Corps
of Engineers. Two of these reports, Salem Church and Gathright,
are being written by the Charlottesville staff and the other,
Blanchard, is being written by the Susquehanna Field Station
staff. Each of the above reports are scheduled for com-
pletion in F. Y. 1964.
Salem Church - Salem Church is located on the Rappahannock
River approximately two miles above Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Mb funds axe available from the Corps of Engineers during
F. Y. 196^0 Project funds equivalent to approximately 2 l/2
man-months will be eacpended during F. Y. 1964 in order to
complete this report ($2000)„
Gathright - The Gathright Reservoir is proposed on the
Jackson River above Covington, Virginia, in the James River
Basin. The regional office is being reimbursed by the Corps
of Engineers. Funds equivalent to 10 man-months are being
expended on this report ($7200).
-------
31
Blanchard - The Blanchard Reservoir is proposed on Bald
Eagle Creek in the West Branch Susquehanna River sub-"basin. The
Project is receiving no funds for the preparation of this report.
Project funds equivalent to approximately 8 man-months are "being
expended ($5600).
Basic Data Collection
Basic Data Activities include the collection of stream
quality information and data on municipal and industrial water
uses and waste loads. Several sources have been utilized in
obtaining the basic data including files of State Health
Departments and other State agencies as well as personal
visits o
Susquehanna Field Station
The following summarizes the status of the basic data
activities within the Susquehanna Eleld Station.
Community Sewerage Inventory
The collection and coding of all of the available data
are complete. Preliminary computer print-outs of this
information have been reviewed, errors corrected., and card
decks prepared for final print-outs. A summary report of the
Susquehanna municipal sewerage data has been prepared.
Community Water Inventory
All data has been placed on Project inventory forms and
the coding phase for computer storage is complete. A Pre-
liminary computer print-out for a portion of the West Branch
-------
32.
drainage area has "been reviewed for coding applicability and
reporting uniformity,, No problems were encountered. It is
expected that a summary report of the Susquehanna municipal
water information will be completed May 1.
Industrial Water and Waste Inventory
In order to present a clearer picture of the activities
relating to the industrial inventory ^ the procedures are
presented by States.
Pennsylvania - The initial industrial inventory information
was obtained from the files of the State Health Department.
These file data deal primarily with quality and quantity of
waste water being discharged to local water courses with
little or no data on source of industrial water supply or
on industries connected to public sewers. In an effort to
obtain a more complete picture the Health Department in
cooperation with the State Chanter of Commerce and the Project
mailed to 11^+8 industries a water and waste questionnaire.
The Public Relations Section of the Health Department arranged
for newspaper., radio and television releases explaining the
purpose of the survey*
The data returned has not been coded for Project use
and therefore not thoroughly reviewed for content. The
response} however., has been about 50 percent. A second
-------
33
mail-out was recently completed by the Health Department
which is expected to significantly increase the percent
return. After a review of the returns personal visits mil
"be made to significant industries to complete the inventory.
Completion is expected during the first quarter of F. Y. 1965.
New York - Action has been taken to obtain the water and
waste data from industries in New York State. The State
Health Department has prepared a questionnaire in cooperation
with the Project and is mailing it to 185 industries. Since
m<\A- ou*
the StateA has recently been initiated,, no analysis of the
effectiveness can be made at this time. It is expected,
however3 because of excellent State-industry relations^
that the return will be approximately $0 percent. Ebllow-
ups will be made by the Health Department personnel through
personal visits. Completion of the inventory is expected
within the fourth quarter of F. Y.
Stream Quality Data
The Field Station has collected stream quality data
from several sources. K>r example, the State Health
Department data on quality of public water supplies was
gathered at the time of the community water inventory. Data
on streams containing mine drainage has been collected from the
Health Department and the Geological Survey. Also available
are the data from State water quality' network. The information
-------
34-
is for the most part sparse and inadequate for determining
the total quality picture. In order to reasonably evaluate
most streams it will tie necessary to collect some samples
for Project laboratory analysis to integrate with the avail-
able data.
Dye Studies
Khodamine B dye dumps were made in Clarks Creek below
a regulated discharge from the City of Harrisburg's water
supply impoundment. With this known discharge3 the Field
Station developed techniques for using the dye and sensing
equipment. Studies were attempted in the West Branch and
in Codorus Creek. These studies indicated several problems
associated with the use of Khodamine B. It appears that
the acid condition of the West Branch caused by mine drainage
reduces the sensitivity of the dye. Detection was limited
to a reach of about 8 to 10 miles of stream "below a dye
release. High backgrounds caused difficulties in Codorous
Creek which receives a pulp and paper mill waste. Steps
are being taken to utilize other types of rhodamine in an
effort to overcome these adverse effects.
Initial planning was based upon using the dyes for
purely time of passage or stream velocity studies. However,
during the above studies diffusion,, mixing., and dispersion
of the dye in the flowing stream appears to "be an important
factor when related to the introduction of waste material.
-------
35
Specific studies are necessary to develop procedures for
evaluating a stream's mixing characteristics in order to
more accurately determine waste assimilation capabilities»
Mine Drainage
A draft preliminary report was prepared on the quantities
of acid, iron aid .sulfates found in the West Branch of the
Susquehanna River as the result of mine drainage. Data for
this evaluation was obtained from the Sanitary Engineering
Division, Pennsylvania State Health Department, and the
U. S. Geological Survey. The sparseness, differences in
sampling technique, and differences in chemical analyses
made evaluation extremely difficult to reach any accurate
conclusions.
As a result of this investigation, the Field Station
suggested a meeting within the Public Health Service to
evaluate procedures and relationshipsif any, between the
various methods. A meeting was held on November 1^ 1963,
in Charlottesville to discuss the problem. A summary
of the discussions can be found in the appendices»
Chesapeake Field Station
The following summarizes the status of the basic data
activities within' the Chesapeake Field Station. Intensive
activities have been limited to the State of Maryland^
however, for special projects some information has been
gathered in the State of Virginia.
-------
"36
Community Sewerage Inventory
Hie collection and coding of all available Maryland data
are complete. Preliminary computer print-outs of this infor-
mation have been reviewed and errors corrected . Corrected
card decks "will be punched by February 15<, and a summary and
tabulation report of the Maryland data will be completed by
March 1.
Community Water Inventory
The collection of the Maryland municipal water data is
complete. This information will be coded by April 1 and a
summary and tabulation report completed by June 1.
Industrial Water and Waste Inventory
The Maryland State Department of planning in cooperation
with the Health Department, Water Pollution Control Commission
and the Project prepared and mailed a questionnaire to
approximately 1050 industries in Maryland. The procedure
followed was personal visits to the 50 largest water users^
a mail-out; a second letter to those who failed to reply and
telephone follow-ups. Visits will be made to significant
industries who failed to answer arty of the inquiries.
Completion of the inventory is expected within the fourth
quarter of F. Y. 1964.
The State Department of Planning is presently coding the
data and is to furnish the Project with caxd decks.
-------
37
Steps -will be taken to complete the collections of the
industrial data within the State of Virginia* A portion of
this information has "been collected and 'was used in the
preparation of the reports on the proposed Salem Church and
Gathright Reservoirs. It is expected that approximately
50 percent of the industrial data will be completed within
F. Y. 196^.
Stream Quality Data
Stream quality data available for the Rappahannock
River Basin and selected reaches of the James River have been
collected from the Virginia State Water Control Board in
connection with the preparation of the Salem Church and
Gathright reports for the Corps of Engineers.
Economic Studies
Economic Base Studies - During the second.teJ£ of F. Y.
19635! an Economic Base Study contract drawn to our specifications
was negotiated with the National Planning Association. An
agreement was also negotiated with USDA whereby that Depart-
ment will study the agricultural and forestry sectors of
the economy and prepare a report which will characterize the
current agricultural and forestry situations and project
those sectional activities into the future,, The USDA study
results will become an integral part of the National Planning
Association report „ The agreement with USDA was made by the
-------
36
Baltimore District Office of the Corps of Engineers "but
the specifications were prepared by the Economic Section
in conjunction with USDA, and the Chief of the Economic
Section administers technical aspects of the contract.
An agreement has also "been miade with the U. S. Bureau
of Mines for a study and projections of the mineral sector
of the economy. This agreement is administered "by the
Corps of Engineers; however, the Regional Economist
participated in the preparation of the specifications and
the results of the study will "become a part of the National
Planning Association reports.
Exhibit A which follows is a schedule of the reports
to "be submitted "by the National Planning Association, USJDA_,
and the Bureau of Mines. The preliminary reports due
from the Bureau of Mines, USDA, and NPA prior to this
date have "been reviewed and meet the specifications.
Considerable time and effort have been expended in
coordinating the activities of NPA with those of other
Federal and State agencies. Arrangements have been made with
the State Planning Departments of Maryland and Pennsylvania
and with the Office of Regional Planning in New York to
coordinate studies being made by these agencies with the NPA
study. This has proved valuable to each agency as well as
to our Project.

Water Requirements Studies - Questions have been included
in the industrial water use questionnaire "being sent out by the
states which will enable an analysis of current industrial
water use in relation to employment and value of sales or value
added in manufactures. This survey is now being conducted in
New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
Copies of unpublished tables have been obtained which
were derived from the U. S. Census of Manufacturing industrial
water use surveys 195^ and 1958 by the University of New
Mexico for the BDSA, U. S. Department of Commerce. These
tables will save considerable time in analyzing past changes
in industrial water use.
Special Project - Preliminary reports on population
projections have been prepared for the Blaiiehard Reservoir
study in Pennsylvania and the Gathright Reservoir project in
Virginiao
Economic Studies Plans for F. Y. 1964
1. Administration of Economic Base Study contracts. Ms
will entail the following:
a. Giving advice and guidance in regard to questions
pertaining to project policies and procedures.
b. Discussing and approving methodology; assisting in
the selection of economic sub-regions.
-------
4-1
c. Coordinating the work of the contributing agencies
and maximizing cooperation -with the individed state studies.
d. Providing liaison between NPA and Federal, State and
local agencies.
2o Analysing industrial -water use data in preparation for
the conversion of economic projections into water require-
ments. This will entail:
a. Summarizing water use in relation to employment and
value added in manufacture of sales for the heavy water
'Sens
^hs&s in each four digit SIC classification by counties.,
b. Analysing changes in industrial water use by
individual industries between 195 ^ and 1958•
c. Reviewing special studies on water use in individual
industries. At least five or six are now in process.
3. Completion of reports for Gathright and Blanchard
Reservoir studies. The National Planning Association will
provide rough employment projections by economic sub-
regions to 1970. The remainder of the report will be
prepared by the economic section.
Technical Assistance
During F. Y. 196^ limited technical assistance
amounting to approximately 12 man-days was furnished to the
Pennsylvania State Health Department in the form of
-------
4-2.
conductivity measurements of portions of the North Branch
of the Susquehanna River.
Estuarine Studies
The Field Station will review and evaluate the
recommendations of the CBI report and "based upon con-
clusions reached develop an estuarine study program. The
following agencies are actively engaged in various studies
within the Chesapeake estuarine system and will provide
both advice and data:
1. Chesapeake Bay Institute, Johns Hopkins University
2. Virginia Institue of Marine Science
3° Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Natural Resources
Institute,University of Maryland
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Biological Laboratory,
Because of the magnitude and complexity of the estuarine
system, the work load will be divided into two parts,
Project and contractural studies. The actual breakdown will
be determined after a complete review of existing data and
the specific problems and problem areas are defined.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH JUNE 30, ±9ok
The Project has "been an. active contributor in the
development of a national system for the storage and
retrieval of data for water quality control programs - A
significant amount of effort in this regard has been
expended in the procurement of adequate maps upon which to
delineate the river-mile index coding. The final maps which
are to be used nationally will be produced in general con-
formance with specifications developed by staff of the Project.
In this regard a total of k-26 composite chronoflex maps
covering the entire Chesapeake Bay-Susquehanna River Basins
have been purchased by the Project. Coding of the stream
systems is virtually completed. Copies of these identifi-
cation maps are made available to interested Federal and
State agencies on request.
In the area of interagency cooperation and coordination,
the Project has satisfactory working arrangements in the two
major subdivisions of its total study area. Staff of the
Project are active participants in the Corps of Engineers5
Susquehanna River Basin Study Coordinating Committee by
virtue of membership on the main committee and four of its
sub-committees. The Project Director serves as chairman of
the Water Quality Work Grpup of the Water Sub-Committee while
-------
44
other staff members are members of the Power, Public Affairs
and Recreation Sub-Committees. These formal associations
with representatives of Federal,, State and Interstate agencies
are generally sufficient to serve the Project's needs in the
area of interagency coordination in the study of the Susque-
hanna River Basin. Two Water Quality Advisory Committees
for each of the two segments of the total study area
(Susquehanna and Chesapeake) have been established by the
Project to provide advice and assistance in the development
of the water quality control program. These committees
are composed of representatives from the State., interstate3
and local agencies concerned with water use and water quality
control for all beneficial uses. Continued action in this
regard provides maximum benefits from cooperative efforts in
planning and implementation of study activities.
Significant progress was made by developing statements of
water quality objectives for each of the beneifieial water
uses. This action was initiated with the Water Quality Work
Group for the Susquehanna River Basin and is now being
discussed by the Water Quality Advisory Committees for the
Project. Efforts of these groups are now concentrated upon
the development of specific water quality guides for the
several indicators of pollution as they concern, each
beneficial water use.
-------
45
Efforts to develop standard methodology and correlation
factors for measurements of the effects of mine drainage have
"been initiated through Mine Drainage Evaluation and Analysis
Workshops sponsored "by the Project. Final recommendations are
esepected in the near future.
Establishment of a Chesapeake Field Station in Annapolis,
Maryland, staffed •with a nucleus of key personnel enabled the
Project to initiate development of detail study plans for
activities in the Chesapeake Bay portion of the study area.
Work plans developed by the end of the fiscal year outlined
objectives for field studies of selected estuaries of the
Chesapeake Bay. Action to initiate such studies with staff
of the Project and by contract with other non-federal
agencies and organizations is underway at this time.
-------
DEPARTURE FROM 1961+ PLANS
The following are items and factors that have necessitated
a departure from the schedule of activities projected for F.Y. 196^.
1. A reduction in "budget from $900,000 to $1|00,000; spendable
monies from $750,000 to $370,000.
2. A reduction in number of positions from 52 to 27-
3- A delay of five months in learning the actual budget for
F.Y. 196^ and the need of operating during this time at
the F.Y. 1963 rate.
k. No additional automatic monitoring equipment was purchased
and this has delayed the water quality monitoring program.
5- A delay of at least two months in delivery of mobile labora-
tory.
6. A delay in the establishment of the Chesapeake Field Station.
7. The request for the Project to prepare reports for the
Corps of Engineers on the proposed Blanchard Reservoir in
Pennsylvania and the Gathright Reservoir in Virginia.
8. Same delays in job classifications and recruitment of
personnel.

ACTIVITIES AMD ACCOMPLISHMENTS F. Y. 1965
Description of Major Activities
Along with completion of the initial inventory phase
activities, the Project expects to proceed with the develop-
ment of a series of related data processing programs for the
storage, retrieval, and analysis of this data. Included in
this series are programs designed for tabulation and summary
of data and for hydrologic retrieval based upon the RLver-Mile
Index System. Analysis of these data runs to establish water
i
use trends for preliminary projections of water requirements
and waste loads in the future will be undertaken as an initial
activity in the program development phase.
Staff assigned to the Susquehanna Field Station are
scheduled to carry out specific water quality field studies
in the several sub-basins of the Susquehanna River Basin. The
extent of these investigations was determined after careful
analysis of the Project's operational plan and with due regard
of the requirements of the Corps of Engineers' study in the
Basin. Flexibility of operations to allow for the effect
of external influences such as budgetary restrictions, staffing,
and equipment delays was considered in plans for these activities<
For example, supplemental laboratory services have been Investigated
through contacts with waste treatment, water purification plants,
and other Federal and State agencic-- to enable the Project to
proceed with some modified sampling program, if necessary. To
-------
further develop the existing water quality monitoring network,
the Project plans to follow its original program for installing
additional automatic water quality monitoring units at critical
points on the various streams in the Basin.
Activities of an expanded staff to be assigned to the
Chesajteake Field Station are to include waste dispersion and
transport studies in the Potomac estuary. The scope and extent
of these investigations may be modified to meet the objectives
of the study proposals now being developed by a group at Johns
Hopkins University. In addition contractual studies of the
estuarine system of the Chesapeake Bay are planned by State and
educational organizations to supplement existing knowledge of
waste assimilation, transport, and effects. The laboratory
facilities of this field station are scheduled to become opera-
tional during the year.
Data Storage and Retrieval Activities
In F.Y. 1965 the data unit will concentrate its effort
on the development of the following:
1. A retrieval program for inventory data.
2. A program to calculate the organic assimilative capa-
city of a stream.
An effort will be made to coordinate the Project's quality
data with that of the Basic Data Section in Washington. Basic
Data's retrieval program for water quality information will be
used whenever possible for Project water quality data.
-------
Q-
The work that is to be completed by the end of F.Y. 1965
is as follows;
1. All data from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
New York will be keypunched. This data will include
sewerage, water, and industrial waste information.
2. The above keypunched data will be verified.
3. A print-out will be made and a quality control check
accomplished.
k. Data discrepancies will be corrected and the corrections
entered into the IBM card decks.
5. A series of reports will be published covering a tabu-
lation and summary of the sewerage, water, and industrial
waste for the entire study area.
6. Indexing of the maps for the entire study area will be
completed.
A major portion of the actual picking off of the river-mile
index will be accomplished by the end of F.Y. 1965. It is antici-
pated that this particular activity will extend into F.Y. 1966.
It is also anticipated that this activity will begin sup-
plying the Basic Data Section in Washington with card decks of
this data. _ This may necessitate the writing of certain programs
by the Project in order to supply the Basic Data Section particu-
lar formats thfcy may desire the data to be in.
Basic Data Collection
During F.Y. 19^5 "the Project expects to complete the first
phase, inventory, and to initiate the second phase of this
-------
activity with field studies to collect supplemental water
quality data. The magnitude of the supplemental data collection
will depend upon the completeness of existing information.
Completion of all inventory activities of the Susquehanna
Field Station, including coding of data for keypunching, is
scheduled by the third quarter of the fiscal year.
Field investigations are scheduled in each of the sub-basins
of the Susquehannb River Basin. Included is the collection and
analysis of stream samples and waste effluents where existing
water quality data is insufficient to meet the Project'need.
Scheduling of this water quality sampling is based upon flexi-
bility to meet schedules of other Federal agencies contributing
to the over-all study of the Basin. Sampling initiated in the
lower Susquehanna Sub-Basins will be phased out as operational
capability, and needs call for expansion into the upper Susque-
hanna Sub-Basins during the fiscal year.
The data collected by inventory and field studies in
F.Y. 196U for the Codorus, Conestoga, and Sv/atara Watersheds
will be analyzed and evaluated. Additional data collected by
field studies during the first quarter of F.Y. 1965 in the lower
Susquehanna Sub-Basins will be used to complete preliminary
reports on the above watersheds and on the Juniata Sub-Basin
during the second quarter of the year. In connection with
these reports the Field Station has scheduled publication of data
on water use trends for selected communities of the Susquehanna
River Basin.
-------
fe*
The scheduled activities for staff of the Chesapeake Field
Station includes completion of all inventory activities in
Virginia and analysis and evaluation of this data to develop
water use trends for selected communities in "both Maryland and
Virginia. Tabulations and summaries of all inventory data in
Virginia and Maryland are to "be published by the end of the
Fiscal Year.
Data collection activities involving field studies are
covered rather thoroughly under the section on Estuarine Studies
which follows.
Estuarine Studies
Estuarine activities in Fiscal Year 1965 will be divided
into two major categories—those which will be.performed by
Project personnel and those which will be performed under con-
tract. The division will be after a review of data and consul-
tation with the agencies presently studying the area. Division
will be made based upon the type of studies required and availa-
bility of qualified personnel, time, and equipment. Based upon
the recommendations of the CBI report, the estuarine studies
will include the following:
1. Water Movement and Mixing - These studies will be
required to evaluate the dissolved oxygen and nutrient
balance and to determine the effects of movement and
mixing on the distribution of introduced waste loads.
Although tides play an important role, the actual
-------
movement and mixing of a waste within the water volume
is controlled primarily by diffusion. Another important
factor in movement and mixing is the flushing rates
of tributary estuaries; i.e.-, the Potomac estuary.
Both diffusion and flushing rates can readily be deter-
mined utilizing Ehodamine B dye.
i
2. Biology - These studies will be required to determine
the character and distribution of plankton. Compari-
sons can be made between natural waters and those waters
presently receiving waste loads. With this background;
plankton types and population can be estimated as related
to water quality.
3- Chemical and Physical Character - These studies will
establish the base for the various chemical and physical
perimeters in natural waters. Determinations can be
made to establish changes in the normal upon the intro-
duction of foreign material.
Capacity of the System to Assimilate Inorganic and
Organic Wastes - Studies will be made to determine the
ability of selected areas to assimilate waste loads.
Actually, the above studies will be integrated to deter-
mine a net result since a well-defined line cannot be drawn to
separate each type. Base lines will be established in certain
areas of natural (clean) water. Waste™receiving waters will be
evaluated to determine any variance with the base. In other
words, a cause and effect determination will be established.
-------
4fe
With the above information changes in the chemical, physi-
cal , and biological properties can be predicted should a speci-
fic waste type be introduced at a particular point. This will
enable the Project to develop an effective vatar quality manage-
ment plan.
One of the first areas to be studied will be the Potomac
estuary. With this completed and having a recent report on
the remainder of the Potomac Basin, a total picture can be deter-
mined.
Flow Regulation Studies
Special reports containing specific data not contained
in normal Project publications, as may be required regarding
proposed reservoir projects of the Corps of Engineers or the
Soil Conservation Service, will be prepared by Project staff.
(No such proposed studies or projects exist at this time.)
Economic Services
1. Negotiated extension of National Planning Association
contract. The current contract extends to August 8.
It will be necessary to extend the scope of work for
renegotiation to complete the study in F.Y. 19&5, at
2. Continue to administer base study contracts and agree-
ments.
3- After receipt of the economic projections for the Sus-
quehanna Basin on August 8, work on conversion to
wat e r re qui rement s.
a cost of approximately $U0,000. -/-$
-------
fcT
U. Make economic determinations in the formulation of
program recommendations.
Technical Assistance
The Susquehanna Field Station expects the amount of techni-
cal assistance to increase as its activities in field investi-
gations are expanded. For example, approximately 50 man-days
could be expended in servicing selected sampling stations of
the Pennsylvania Health Department's water quality network and
in reconnaissance studies and laboratory services in problem
area's of immediate significance to the State's pollution control
program.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH JUNE 30, 19&5
Initial estimates of future water supply and water quality
i
requirements for the Susquehanna River Basin vere developed
by the second quarter of F.Y. 19&5 refined projections for
urban areas and centers of industrial development were availa-
ble at the end of the fiscal year. This data is required by
the Project and by the Corps of Engineers and other contributing
Federal agencies.
Development and agreement to statements of water quality
objectives for all beneficial water uses in the entire Chesa-
peake Bay Drainage Basin should be realized by the middle of
F.Y. 1965* By the end of the fiscal year it is anticipated
that virtual agreement will have been reached on the water qual-
ity guides for the several indicators of pollution. These
actions by the Advisory Committee and Water Quality Work Group
will be significant contributions to the development of the
water quality management program.
An interim report containing a review and summary of Pro-
ject activities and accomplishments through calendar year l$6b
was published for distribution to interested groups in the study
area. This report contains information on the current water
uses and outlines the status of pollution problems from the
resultant waste loads. Significant pollution problems are
examined in the light of current water pollution control programs
-------
*71
for delineating areas for concentrated efforts "by the Project.
Basic elements of a comprehensive water quality management pro-
gram are discussed in view of their general application to
these problems.

The Chesapeake Bay-Susquehanna River Basins Project is
developing a comprehensive water quality management program for
protecting and improving the quality of water resources for
municipal and industrial purposes, recreation, fisheries, and
other beneficial uses in the 67,000 square mile area of the
Chesapeake Bay Drainage Basin. This drainage "basin, which includes
portions of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, and the District of Columbia, encompasses the largest
tidal estuary in the United States and the largest river on the
Atlantic Coast. The current population of this Basin, approxi-
mately ten million people, is expected to triple by the year
2010. Present pollution problems attributed to the disposal
of municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from active and
abandoned coal mines are indicative of even greater problems in
the future. The comprehensive water quality management program
being developed in cooperation with Federal, State, interstate,
and local agencies will provide basic guidelines and recommend
alternative solutions which are necessary to the effective plan-
ning of programs for the optimum development:, utilization and
management of the Basin's enormous water resources.
-------
82.
To date the Project has completed an analysis of the current
situation as regards water supply'and water use, waste loads and
treatment facilities, and pollution problems in the Susquehanna
River Sub-Basin and has initiated similar activities in the sub-
basins of the Chesapeake portion of the Project's study area.
Data necessary £or this analysis has been collected by inventories
carried out in cooperation with participating agencies at each
governmental level and through special field investigations by
staff of the Project's Susquehanna and Chesapeake Field Stations.
A network of water quality monitoring stations has been established
involving both manual and automatic collection and measurement
of several recognized indicators of quality. The data collected
in this manner, vital to the assessment of the current situation,
is now being used in the formulation and evaluation of control
programs for the future. Statements of water quality objectives
for each of the several beneficial water uses along with specific
water quality guides have been developed through cooperation with
Federal, State, interstate and local agencies of the Basin. Studies
of the physical, chemical, and biological elements of tidal estu-
aries are being undertaken by contract with State and educational
institutions and by staff of the Project's Chesapeake Field Station.
Program formulation is currently being carried out in the Susque-
hanna River Sub-Basin utilizing projections of future water require-
ments and waste loads which were derived from data contained in the
-------
83
Economic Base Study. Other significant data concerning future
water requirements and resources have been made available by-
several Federal agencies under reimbursable agreements.
Activities in F.Y. 1966 will include the ccmple.tion of field
studies in the Susquehanna River Sub-Basin and intensified field
study activities by staff of the Chesapeake Field Station. Ex-
pansion of the Project's activities in this area will be princi-
pally in oceanographic and estuarine investigations. In addition
formulation of the comprehensive program vill be initiated by
the staff of the Chesapeake Field Station for sub-basins in that
portion of the Project's study area. The increase in funds
requested for F.Y. 1966 will enable the Project to increase its
staff, acquire additional equipment, enter into contracts with
educational institutions and service organizations for special
studies, meet related costs for information from other Federal
agencies and publications of reports for completed program report
on sub-areas of the Susquehanna River Sub-Basin.
The one-year extension of the intensive phase of the Project
indicated in the attached six-year Budgetary Project is necessary
since appropriations for previous fiscal years have been in
amounts less than requested. This has resulted in delay in initia-
ting certain activities and in the completion of elements of the
Project as originally Scheduled. The total cost of the Project
is expected to increase due in larga -xtent to salary increases

approved by Congress since the initial cost estimates were made
and also to general cost increases for all related items of Pro-
ject operation and support.

The Chairman presented the Regional Program Director, Mr. Lloyd W.
Gebhard, who welcomed the group to the region and expressed his
appreciation to all for coming to the meeting and sharing their
knowledge and experiences on this difficult problem.
The Chairman stated that the Chesapeake Bay-Susquehanna River
Basins Project was faced with the problem of developing practical
recommendations to alleviate the pollutional effects of mine
drainage. A review of the literature revealed voids in the know-
ledge of in-stream chemistry. It was felt that several offices
of the Service were involved in similar problems and that a
unifbrm approach was desirable.
Because of the multiplicity of sources of mine drainage, many
people believe that the problem of "acid stream" can best be
alleviated by the construction of facilities which will provide
the capabilities for storage and release of "acid" or "alkaline"
water in proportions which will produce a desirable quality of
water downstreiam. Before this cotlld be done, it is necessary
(l) to define the various terms involved; (2) to determine speci-
fic tests to be run and the method of sample collection; (3) to
study in-streslm chemical reactions; (k) to seek a relationship
among results which were obtained by different techniques; and
(5) to determine water quality objectives. When this is done,
it will be a relatively easy matter to determine what releases
from storage will be necessary to achieve the desired results.
Mr. Goldberg outlined the problem more completely and discussed
the in-stream chemi'stry as related in the literature.
Acid Mine Drainage Demonstration Project
At the suggestion of Mr. Rainwater, Mr. Don Evenson explained
that a project now in the planning state would develop effective
measures of controlling and treating acid mine drainage. This
project is estimated to require three or four years to establish
with several additional years necessary for data collection and
evaluation. The planned .location is the North Branch, Susque-
hanna River. The budget for the fiscal year is expected to be
about $21$,000.
Procedures for Determining Acidity
Several procedures are available for determining acidity and the
most common are those employed by USGS, ASTM, and Standard Methods.
Mr. Rainwater suggested that the following criteria be used in
-------
8^
determining which procedure should "be utilized:
1. Use an existing recognized method, if applicable.
2. Quality control oriented.
a. Applicattle to measuring damage or loss of stream
utility.
"b. Exhibit geo-chemical compatability.
c. Provide means of measuring abatement needs.
3. Applicable to both stream and waste analysis.
1)-. Should be a legally sound procedure.
5• Results should be readily translated to engineering
application.
National Quality Network
Mr. Kroner reported that the quality network stations do not
report acidity primarily because of analytical result variations
associated with time. Iron is reported as total (not ferrous
and ferric) because the network is primarily directed at noting
trends.
Analytical Procedure
After considerable discussion concerning the interpretation and
meaning of various terms presently used to identify "acidity,"
the following procedure was agreed upon:
Basically, the method is a modification of a procedure described
in Part I, Standard Methods, for the determination of "Phenolphtha-
lein Acidity" at boiling temperature. Hie modified method, as
defined below., determines potential mineral acid. The procedure
will be as follows:
1. Heat aliquot to boil; boil for two minutes.
2. Cool sample to 60-70°C, minimizing CO^ reabsorption.
3» Titrate potentrametically at 60-70°C to pH 8.3.? using
as the inflection (equivalence) point the first deriva-
tive or interpolation from a plot of pH 2.5 titrant
volume as the equivalence or end point.
-------
^0
Sampling Handling
Samples for acidity and/or alkalinity determinations to be
titrated within a minimum elapsed period but not longer than
two hours without icing and within six hours when iced.
Definitions
It is to "be noted that the definitions agreed upon are based
upon method rather than upon reaction mechanism.
Free Acid - Titration to first inflection (equivalence) point
at pH 4.5 or 5-0* Note: End point should be stated specifically.
Initial studies on fresh samples should clarify end point to'be
recommended. At best, this procedure will determine acid concen-
tration at time of titration.
"Potential Mineral Acid" - The acidity determined by modified
Standard Method (Braley's Method) titrating to pH 8.3.
Total Alkalinity - As determined in Part 2, Standard Methods,
potentrometric titration to pH b.5, inflection point.
Stream Characteristics
lt
Study of titration recordings at specific sites should form a
basis for characterizing hydrolysis and buffering reactions.
Recording titrations at end points as utilized by other agencies
may form the basis for utilization of future data. However, it
is considered improbable that past data of USGS based on com-
posite sampling will be capable of integration.
The effect of mixing acid and alkaline streams will be studied
potentrometrically in order to determine equivalence levels ar.d
to follow hydrolysis reactions. This should provide, a basis for
reservoir calculations for water quality maintenance, and allevia-
tion of acid condition in a given stream.
Work Assignments
The laboratories and facilities of the Chesapeake Bay-Susquehanna
River Basins Project at New Cumberland will be primarily responsible
for the development of methods to be used for data comparison and
studies as suggested in Problem 2, Section 2, Page 14-, of the original
discussion paper.
Future Workshop Session
It is hoped that sufficient work will be accomplished by late
February or early March 196b to warrant circulation of methods
-------
SI
and results, the latter to form the basis for a meeting to "be
held shortly thereafter.
It is recommended that the meeting "be of two days duration. The
tentative agenda is suggested as follows:
1. Review of conclusions of first session.
2. Discussion of circulated methods and results.
3. Discussion of Problems !<¦_, data correlation
section of discussion paper.

CCMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PERSONNEL SERVICES COSTS
F.Y. 196k, 1965, 1966
LEGEND
1/ PSI and. Promotions considered.
2/ New positions, 1966.
3./ New positions, I96U.
bj Temporary and WAE.
5/ New positions, 1965*
New positions computed at 70 percent for first year.
Wage. Board and WAE employees considered at 70 percent each year.
Salaries based on 26.1 pay periods in FY 19&5 an^ 1966 and 26.2 in FY 196^.
The 196k working budget with respect to personnel compensation and benefits was
submitted on an actual cost basis. In view of this, no lapse factor was considered
in annualization costs. For the purpose of the report as reflected in Exhibit 3,
consideration is given to the following factors:
(1) Civil Service pay increase was determined by multiplying old
bi-weekly rate by 13*5 and the new bi-weekly rate by 13-5
and subtracting.
(2) The 26.1-26.2 pay factor was determined by multiplying the
new bi-weekly rate by 26.1 and 26.2 and subtracting.
(3) In considering changes in personnel compensation for Commissioned
Officers, if position was established prior to FY 196^, amount
of difference in lS6h and 1965 salary is considered as Commissioned
Officer pay increase (consideration given to promotions and longevity
pay increases). If new position was established in FY I96U or
promotions and longevity is involved, these increases are reflected
as annualization.
In some instances in FY 196^ more than one employee held the same position during
the year. The combined salaries of these employees are reflected as one position.
Where lump sum payments for leave is involved, these amounts are considered in
nori-recurring costs.
Periodic step increases and promotions are considered in the annualization of
costs because they represent a permanent and recurring factor extending from
year to year.
