SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Grant Award Number: DE-FG06-94RL12995

    Scope of Project: The proposed financial assistance award is a 
grant to Heritage College to establish an environmental monitoring 
station on the campus of the College in Toppenish, Washington. The 
Station will consist of a variety of instruments for collection 
environmental measurements, including equipment for collection 
radiological air samples and monitoring ambient radiation levels. It 
will also include a covered informational display containing real-time 
meteorological and radiological information. The station will be used 
by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) to collect routine radiation data 
for the Hanford Site environmental monitoring program. It will also be 
used by the college to supplement and/or enhance its own environmental 
science programs. The station design will be based upon the needs of 
both the college and PNL.
    In addition to the air sampling and radiation monitoring 
capabilities, equipment will also be installed to measure and record 
solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, 
wind direction and other data.
    Pacific Northwest Laboratory is currently performing activities 
similar to those proposed for the Heritage College site at other 
locations within the state of Washington. The public benefit derived 
from these activities would be greatly enhanced with Department of 
Energy financial support for the Heritage College site. It has been 
determined that a grant instrument is appropriate since the Department 
of Energy anticipates limited direct involvement with the program.
