Comment:

The proposal would use geophysical techniques (side scan sonar, ground penetrating radar) to determine stratigraphy and lithography of the Hanford Reach. Although the proposed methods are innovative to the extent that they haven't been used elsewhere in the Columbia River basin, some of the work has already been funded by FWP (for several years). For this reason, the project does not appear to fit the requirements of this RFP. The specialized geophysical equipment is already on hand, further arguing against its innovativeness. The panel might have been more favorable if an element of the proposal had sought to transfer what's been learned in the Hanford Reach to other locations, but as it is, no argument is made for broader significance to FWP of the work. Furthermore, the proposal says little about how the results would be used, or what the benefits to FWP would be.
