This 19th century coastal fort on Grand Terre Island, Louisiana, was badly contaminated by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Our scientists visited the site twice last year to perform some preliminary studies on oil removal, and this summer I have been continuing with research on removing weathered oil from historic brick. The goal is to find a cleaning method that effectively strips the oil from the masonry without causing additional harm to either the structure or the environment.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/new-study-expands-research-for-removing-crude-oil-from-historic-brick/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/interim-report-on-commercially-available-cleaners-for-use-on-federally-issued-headstones/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/interim-report-on-commercially-available-cleaners-for-use-on-federally-issued-headstones/#comments Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:31:43 +0000 Jason Church http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=361 http://ncptt.nps.gov/interim-report-on-commercially-available-cleaners-for-use-on-federally-issued-headstones/feed/ 5 http://ncptt.nps.gov/evaluation-of-commercially-available-cleaners-on-federally-issued-headstones/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/evaluation-of-commercially-available-cleaners-on-federally-issued-headstones/#comments Fri, 14 Mar 2008 20:41:08 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=412 http://ncptt.nps.gov/evaluation-of-commercially-available-cleaners-on-federally-issued-headstones/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/ncptt-and-department-of-veterans-affairs-continue-headstone-study/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/ncptt-and-department-of-veterans-affairs-continue-headstone-study/#comments Wed, 29 Aug 2007 15:04:21 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1878 http://ncptt.nps.gov/ncptt-and-department-of-veterans-affairs-continue-headstone-study/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/church-conducts-field-work-on-comparitive-study-of-commercially-available-cleaners-for-headstones/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/church-conducts-field-work-on-comparitive-study-of-commercially-available-cleaners-for-headstones/#comments Mon, 02 Jul 2007 22:23:11 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1818 http://ncptt.nps.gov/church-conducts-field-work-on-comparitive-study-of-commercially-available-cleaners-for-headstones/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/va-cemetery-cleaning-study-progress-report-completed/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/va-cemetery-cleaning-study-progress-report-completed/#comments Wed, 09 May 2007 21:42:05 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1784 http://ncptt.nps.gov/va-cemetery-cleaning-study-progress-report-completed/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-biological-growth-study-phase-ii-begins/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-biological-growth-study-phase-ii-begins/#comments Mon, 05 Jun 2006 17:29:35 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1620 http://ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-biological-growth-study-phase-ii-begins/feed/ 0
