AGREEMENT STATE REPORT INVOLVING A STOLEN TROXLER MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE

On 12/20/01 a Standard Testing employee on his way to a jobsite stopped at a McDonalds located at I-35 and South 29th Street in Oklahoma City, between 0725 and 0800CST for breakfast. Later in the day the employee noticed that the soil moisture density gauge was missing. The device was properly secured/blocked and braced for transport. The chain securing the transport case was cut and the case containing the gauge missing. The licensee informed both the Oklahoma DEQ Rad Management office and the Oklahoma City Police Department. A press release will be issued offering a $500.00 reward. The stolen device is a Troxler Moisture Density Gauge Model #3430, S/N 25733, containing an 8 millicurie Cs-137 source, S/N 75-8614, and a 40 millicurie Am241/Be source, S/N 47-22109.
