Assessing Seepage at Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Sites
This paper presents a conceptual framework for estimating the concentration of organic contaminants in a groundwater plume over time. The basis of this framework is the application of...
Cost Assessment of Construction Noise Control
The results of a series of studies have provided noise control engineers with a method to estimate off-site construction noise levels and the cost of reducing these to acceptable levels....
Site Selection and Building Design for Minimizing Vibration
Over the last five to ten years, line resolutions required for state-of-the-art semi-conductor wafers have dropped to well below 1 micron. As a result, controlling environmental building...
Civil Engineering in the Arctic Offshore
The 123 papers included in this publication describe the present state of practice, consider emerging concepts and requirements, define research and development needs and critique present...
Stochastic Simulation of Streamflows
In order to provide a better method of generating synthetic streamflow data, a stochastic model of simulating long-term streamflows is developed. Basically, this method uses historical...
Water Information Available from the U.S. Geological Survey
As a part of the Geological Survey's program of releasing water data to the public, two large-scale computerized systems are maintained. The National Water Data Storage and...
Computers: Water Resources Models in Latin America
Ninety-six national institutions dealing with planning, irrigation, water supply, and hydropower generation in twenty-six Latin American and Caribbean countries were surveyed between February...
Hydraulic Profile Computation Using CADD
The data preparation can also be performed by directly recording onto a computer tape the aerial survey cross section ground points and the field survey work. A computer program can then...
Ground-Water Flow Model of Soda-Ash Waste Beds
A recent application by a steel manufacturing plant to obtain a permit for an industrial landfill located on top of abandoned soda-ash waste beds in the City of Syracuse, New York, resulted...
Apportionment of Costs for Multi-Party Cleanups
A rational model was developed for allocating remedial response costs among potentially responsible parties involved in clean up of abandoned waste sites. The model takes into consideration...
Emerging Environmental Clean-Up Responsibility
This paper is a summary of the structure of regulations requiring clean-up of sites when closed or sold, specifically the State of New Jersey's Environmental Cleanup Responsibility...
Water Diversion at Low-Level Waste Disposal Sites
Shallow depth to groundwater, surface drainage, and subsurface flow during storm events are major environmental concerns of low-level radioactive waste management operations in humid regions....
Fate and Transport of Metals in a River System
A steady-state model was developed that describes the fate of metals in a shallow river system. Settling and resuspension of solids were defined through empirical equations relating a...
Saving Time and Money with Archaeology
In the past 20 years, archaeology has become a necessary part of many engineering projects. However, this aspect of a project is often regarded as an obstacle in terms of costs and time....
PCB Contamination of a Mass. Harbor: Technical Challenges for a Remedial Solution
The highest priority uncontrolled site in Massachusetts, the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site, is contaminated with high concentrations of PCBs. The magnitude and nature of contamination,...
Field Scale Solidification/Stabilization of Hazardous Wastes
The selection of appropriate remedial action measures only takes place after a full evaluation of all feasible alternatives. An alternative to off site disposal is solidification/stabilization...
Hazard Assessment of Landfill Fire Air Emissions
The PJP Landfill, located in northeastern New Jersey, is a suspected hazardous waste site, and is listed on the federal Superfund National Priorities List. In addition to contaminating...
Innovations in Army Treatment of Remote Site Wastes
The U. S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USA-CERL) is currently evaluating new methods for waste treatment at remote sites which will eliminate or mitigate problems...
Health Hazard Assessment of Waterless Remote Site Waste Management Technologies
The United States Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USA-CERL) has had an ongoing research program addressing remote site waste treatment technologies. The potential for...
A Survey of Anaerobic Digester Operations
In 1981, the ASCE Task Committee on Anaerobic Digestion conducted a survey of wastewater treatment plants throughout the country regarding the use of anaerobic digestion. The two-part...
