Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.; Alternative Dispute Resolution Series Case Study #5
The Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (PGA) Superfund site is located approximately 17 miles west of Phoenix, Arizona. The southern half of the site consists of adjoining properties: the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport, formerly the Litchfield Park Naval Air Facility, now owned and operated by the City of Phoenix; and the Loral Corporation plant on land owned until 1986 by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company through a then subsidiary, Goodyear Aerospace Corporation. The adjoining Navy and Goodyear facilities had been established during World War II to modify, repair and service Navy aircraft. After the War, Goodyear left the site and the Navy stayed on to preserve decommissioned military aircraft. When the Korean War broke out, Goodyear returned to its former site and manufactured airplane parts, largely under government contract, until the facility was sold in 1986. The Navy operated its facility until 1968, when it was transferred to the City of Phoenix. In 1981, Goodyear and the Arizona Department of Health Services discovered volatile organic compounds (VOC), principally trichloroethylene (TCE), in the groundwater and soils at the PGA/Litchfield site. (TCE is a human carcinogen.) EPA added the site to the Superfund National Priorities List in 1983. From 1983-1987, EPA conducted a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) at the site. Following the Study, Special Notice Letters were delivered to the Department of Defense and the Goodyear Corporation identifying them as Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) in the cleanup of the site.

Guide to Constructing the Without Project Scenario (Condition)
The guide presents the without project scenario analysis in context with the USACE planning process. It discusses uncertainty, the most common scenarios encountered in the planning process, and describes an approach for building a without condition scenario. It also discusses some common mistakes made by planners when developing the scenario. The guide includes an appendix that talks about drivers that can provide impulse or motivation for change and, in addition to other forces, their importance in the planning process.

(A)Guide to the George Palmiter River Restoration Techniques
The purpose of this study was to explore an interesting lternative to traditional methods for reducing flooding and erosion. This alternative method which was developed and practiced by George Palmiter in northwestern Ohio, North Carolina, and nnessee, appeared to deserve a close examination since it had strong local support and appeared effective while at the same time being inexpensive and ecologically sensible. Further, it does not require heavy equipment. However, the method is labor intensive, does not provide high levels of flood protection, and must be performed periodically in an area in order to maintain effectiveness.

Guidebook for Risk Perception and Communication in Water Resources Planning, Part II - An Annotated Bibliography
This annotated bibliography addresses the water resource planner's need for comprehensive planning guides where risk is an integral factor in the decision process. The Economic and Environmental Guidelines for Water and Related Land Resources Implemented Studies prescribed by the Water Resource Council recognize that risk and uncertainty are inherent in water resources planning. Corps planners must prepare to evaluate risk behavior and the associated perceptions of risk. There also exists a great need for opening a two way avenue of communication between the public and the planners/operators of water resource projects. This report contains PART II of the larger work titled Guidebook For Risk Percepfion and Communication in Water Resources Planning. PART I presents the underlying principles and guidelines for consideration in the Corps planning process.

Guidelines for Attracting Private Capital to Corps of Engineers Projects
This report reflects a study of concessionary operations at several Corps lakes located across the United States. The essential problem was to discern the policy and procedural means by which additional private capital could be attracted to meet the needs of nearly 400 million visitors who use recreation facilities at Corps projects. The researchers found that Corps concessionaires are small businesses and suffer the problems of all small business, particularly with respect to management inexperience. They found no single factor which influences profitability. The report conclusions dispute many of the commonly held assumptions about the tactors critical to profitability.

Guidelines for the Calibration and Application of Computer Program HEC-6
HEC-6 (HEC, 1991) is a one-dimensional movable boundary open channel flow and sediment-model designed to simulate changes in river profiles due to scour and deposition over fairly long time periods (typically years, although applications to single flood events are possible). The continuous flow record is broken into a sequence of steady flows of variable discharge and duration. For each flow a water surface profile is calculated thereby providing energy slope, velocity, depth, etc. at each cross section. Potential sediment transport rates are then computed at each section. These rates, combined with the duration of the flow allow for a volumetric accounting of sediment for each reach. The amount of scour or deposition at each section is then computed and the cross section shape adjusted accordingly. The computations then proceed to the next flow in the sequence and the cycle is repeated beginning with the updated geometry. The sediment calculations are performed by grain size fraction thereby allowing for the simulation of hydraulic sorting and armoring. Features of the model include: capability to analyze networks of streams, automatic channel dredging, various levee and encroachment options, and several options for computation of sediment transport rates.
