Appendix A
SCAPS Areas of Responsibility
The Site Characterization and Analysis Penetrometer System is
a resource to be used by all Corps districts and laboratories.
The three SCAPS operating districts serve as a team to meet the
needs of requesting offices anywhere within CONUS. OCONUS
locations are not considered feasible for SCAPS application due
to high mobilization/demobilization costs. However, SCAPS sensor
and sampler technologies may be interfaced with existing OCONUS
cone penetrometer vehicles. WES is the POC for OCONUS projects.
This appendix lists the initial point of contact for a
district or laboratory requesting information about SCAPS or
requesting SCAPS services. The district having project or
construction management responsibility should be responsible for
arranging for SCAPS services (as opposed to a district that has
been "subcontracted" by another to provide site investigation or
other support services).
Districts with SCAPS units are assigned operating areas based
on established customer relationships and geographic proximity to
potential site locations. The areas of responsibility are defined
in Table A-1. The defined areas are not the only areas in which a
particular SCAPS unit may work. The SCAPS district will
coordinate requested work to determine who will perform a given
project (based on crew availability, project locations, and
schedule).
With the current distribution of civil works and military
construction responsibilities within the Corps, some overlap of
areas is inevitable (e.g., the civil works boundary of St. Louis
district overlaps the military boundary for Louisville District).
Therefore, a map showing areas of responsibility for SCAPS is not
practical, and Table A-1 is preferred for ease of use. Districts
requesting SCAPS information or services should contact the SCAPS
Coordinator at the appropriate SCAPS Operating District (as shown
in Table A-1) regardless of whether a project is civil or
military. SCAPS points of contact are:
