Bedload Transport Measurement by Imaging of Tracers
A dyed-sand tracer technique is developed for investigation of bedload under laboratory oscillatory flows. Imaging of the tracer with high speed photography allows the creation of time...
Water Plan Deals Carson City a Good Hand?Carson City Revisited
The success of Carson City's new wastewater treatment plant is no surprise. It results from the City's Comprehensive Water Plan (CWP) for ultimate wastewater...
Evaluation of the City of Venice Urban Reuse Program
The City of Venice is located on the Gulf of Mexico in west central Florida. With a mild sub-tropical climate and coastal location, the small community is a prime target for rapid development....
Chemical Composition, Physical Properties and Off-Site Migration of Municipal Landfill Gas
A sampling program of headspace gas from four monitoring wells and of off-site migration at three property line sites was conducted as part of a remedial design of a municipal landfill....
Navy Targets Effective Infiltration/Inflow Elimination
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), Chesapeake Division, retained the services of RJN Environmental Associates, Inc. to perform a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES)....
Toxicity Bioassay Using Nitrifying Bacteria
Monitoring water quality by the use of toxicity bioassay was studied with respect to the interrelationship between nitrifying activities, ammonium and inorganic compounds. Differential...
Toxicity Bio-Assays, 5-Day BOD and
This article revisits some of the basic definitions of toxicity bioassays and 5-day BOD and questions the the precision of these measuements and the long duration of these tests....
Evaluation of
This paper examines the potential application of in-situ bio-dentrification as well as pertinent physical and biochemical factors that control the process to reduce nitrate in groundwater...
Remedial Planning for the Former EXPO 86 Site
This paper describes the site characterization and remedial action planning effort that is being undertaken at the former EXPO 86 site in downtown Vancouver, B.C. The 200 acre site on...
An Engineered Reactor Approach to Integrating Physicochemical and Biological Processes for In-Situ Bioremediation of Contaminated Subsurface Systems
The concept of integrating biologically active granular carbon reactors into groundwater recycle schemes to provide continuous acclimation and enrichment of microorganisms and inoculation...
Nonpotable Reuse: Development of Water Quality Criteria for Shower Water Recycle
Shower wastewaters at a military installation have been characterized in terms of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Two treatment technologies, microfiltration and coagulation...
Adsorption of Lindane onto Whole Soil and Soil Organic Fractions
The work presented here investigated interactions of the subject pesticide with whole soil and select soil organic fractions and evaluated the commonly applied assumptions that adsorption...
Anoxic-Aerobic Activated Sludge Treatment
An activated sludge system was operated at a relatively low SRT of 1-2 days at the City of Phoenix to meet secondary treatment requirements. Operating MLSS concentrations were 400-600...
Results of the Engineering Special Studies for the UMTRA Project?FY90
The proposed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) groundwater standards (40 CFR 192) require that Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project remedial action designs meet...
Modeling Analysis of CSO Impacts in a Tidal Basin
Short duration intensive inflows of combined sewer overflows (CSO) to marine tidal basins create stratified water quality for limited periods of time. Accurate assessment of water quality...
Using Multiple Water Quality Models for Determining Variable Emission Levels for Wasteload Allocation
We present a methodology for determining the least-cost wasteload allocations from multiple point sources discharging into a single water body. The system of point sources is modeled as...
Removal of Priority Pollutants in Industrial and Hazardous Wastewaters
With the implementation of effluent standards based on water quality criteria, more and more situations arise where the capabilities of treatment technology is stretched to their limits...
Redevelopment of Remediated Superfund Sites: Problems with Current Approaches in Providing Long-Term Public Health Protection
The normal primary objective of Superfund site remediation is the control of hazardous chemicals so that they do not represent a significant threat to public health and the environment...
Magnetic Fluid Conditioning
Industry is now turning to develop magnetic water treatment in an effort to discontinue the use of chemicals. Magnetic water treatment takes a different approach to solving the same problem...
Tracer Study for C*t Compliance Evaluation
A tracer study was performed with a fluorescent dye, Rhodamine WT, to determine the actual disinfectant contact time for the 36-mgd Courtney Bend Water Treatment Plant near Independence,...
