Sewage Sludge Radiological Survey:
Survey Design and Test Site Results: D. Questionnaire Results
The questionnaire was sent to the nine test
sites to obtain current site-specific information about the
sludge treatment process and disposal practices of each facility.
As a result of the experiences with the tests sites and public
comments on the January 6, 1997 Federal Register notice, minor
changes were made to the questionnaire.
Originally, it was estimated that it would take two hours
to complete the questionnaire. For most of the test sites,
the respondents took 20 minutes or less. Two respondents needed
two hours because of the large number of zip codes in the
collection system.
