29/30 JAN 91...SHIFT B...CONTINUED

0930   Meeting Information (Mad Pollock/SG). Problem: The base's bulk water
           supplies for showers and make up for the reverse osmosis machines
           (ROPIE's) that produce drinking water come from a well in North Al
           Khar;. [(b)(l) sec 3.4 (b)(6)]
                             located approximately 17km east of the south end of the
           runway. In any event, the testing of the 26 or so bulk water transports
           that are coming in daily are using up the M-272 test kits at an alarming
           rate [(b)(1)sec 3.4(b)(5)]       CENTAF/SG advised there may not be any
           more loose in theatre. 2 were obtained at the 56th in Riyadh; 4 more
           are coming in from Thumrait, 10 were put on order when the problem was
           first realized on 21 Jan. At that time we thought we could conserve the
           kits through composit sampling. Apparently the danger there is sampling
           too dilute a sample for a positive test.    [(b)(1)sec 3.4(b)(1)]

           Solution: CE to push CENTAF to get letter to use the base water plant
           almost exclusively as that source would be secured and fewer augmentees
           could be used to drive the shorter distance. Thus only one sample per
           day would be required. The individual trucks, apparently 3 per day that
           are needed for the ROPIE unit that came from Al Khari, could also be
           done individually. Thus total use would be 4 M-272 tests per day.
