Refuse Recycling
The refuse recycling plant at Columbus, Ohio, is a pioneer in burning as fuel a combination of refuse and coal. This hybrid fuel has advantages over burning either alone. One winter in...

Coal Terminal
The Charleston Shipyard River Coal Terminal was constructed by converting a port-side chemical plant at a third of the cost of equivalent major coal terminals. A staged program for the...

Energy Recovery
In Albany, N.Y. the state and city cooperated in designing and building a refuse-into-steam energy plant that has several unique features. In most such facilities, the entire plant is...

A Case Study in Low-Level Radioactive Waste Storage
Capital funds have been appropriated for the design, engineering, and construction of an interim low-level radioactive waste storage facility. This project is currently in the preliminary...

Onsite Storage Facility for Low Level Radwaste
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has designed and constructed an onsite storage facility for low level radwaste (LLRW) at its Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in northern Alabama. The paper...

Safety Investigations of Existing Spent Fuel Storage Structures for Increased Spent Fuel Storage Capacity
Delays in the solution of disposal problems continue to create the need for additional on-site spent fuel storage capacity at commercial nuclear power generating facilities. Rod consolidation...

Groundwater Basin Storage in Southern California
The feasibility of implementing a groundwater storage program in the Chino Groundwater Basin (Chino Basin) to increase the firm yield of the SWP (California State Water Project) is considered....

Database Management
Computer aided design systems have found widespread acceptance from Engineering companies as drafting/detailing/drawing tools. While this has brought a dramatic productivity improvement...

Application of Finite Strain Consolidation Theory for Engineering Design and Environmental Planning of Mine Tailings Impoundments
A knowledge of the consolidation behavior of mine tailings, during and after deposition, is important in estimating final impoundment capacity, rate and pore fluid expulsion during and...

Wetlands Development in Moderate Wave-Energy Climates
For the last three years springs of Spartina alterniflora have been planted on portions of Theodore Island, a dredged material island in Mobile Bay, Alabama. The purpose of the planting...

Long-Term Planning for Dredged Material Disposal
The dredged material produced from maintenance of the channel in Upper Mobile Harbor (UMH) is disposed into confined upland disposal areas provided by the project's local...

Dredging for a new Port - Puerto Bolivar, Colombia
A major coal export terminal at Bahia Portete, Colombia, is being developed as part of the Cerrejon Coal Project - North Zone, where one of the world's largest coal mines...

Movement of Tractive Sediment from Disturbed Lands
The Smoky Creek basin of the coal area of northeastern Tennessee shows extensive evidence of tractive movement of coarse sediment from mined tributary basins into the main channel. Coal-rich...

Modeling Effects of Toxicants on Aquatic Systems
Potential effects of chemicals on biomass production in aquatic systems are extrapolated from laboratory toxicological assays. The extrapolation requires that the effect of acute toxicity...

Vacuum Assisted Pipelines Operation
In the process of upgrading the sewerage facilities for Lancaster, Pennsylvania, it was decided to combine two existing facilities into one new facility. This required the design of three...

Hydrotest Rupture of Penstuck Liner at Bath County
Bath County is the construction site of Virginia Electric and Power Company's pumped storage project. Rupture of a penstock liner during hydrotest at high pressure threatened...

Outlet Hydraulics vs. Storage Requirements
In many cases developers must use a portion of their land for temporary detention of storm runoff in order to comply with local ordinances. A simple method is outlined which yields the...

A Three Dimensional Hydraulic Jump
A study is conducted to define the three-dimensional hydraulic jump that occurs in a rectangular channel downstream of a rectangular contracted sluice gate. A sequent depth ratio equation...

Modeling Analysis for Management of Artificial Recharge
The objective of these groundwater and sediment modeling studies is to determine the net change in storage and potentiometric levels within the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin resulting...

Optimal Real-Time Operation of a Cascade of Hydropower Plants in Central West China
The Longxihe River hydropower system consists of four hydropower plants in series. The four reservoirs are used for flood control and power generation. Among the four reservoirs, only...
