A Large-Scale Groundwater Transport and Dispersion Test: The First 1000 Days
TVA is conducting a large-scale field experiment to quantify the groundwater transport and dispersion of leachates from solid disposal facilities. This project is an integral part of the...

Contaminant Transport from an Array of Sources
The authors show analytic solutions to the problem of contaminant dispersion from an array of point sources in a waste disposal site. These solutions are for waste sources in a fluid-saturated...

Adding a Climatic Interface to Electronic Irrigation Controllers
Automated irrigation systems have traditionally relied on a time based controller set to operate the irrigation system for a specific duration and frequency. To determine the duration...

The Lubbock, Texas, Land Treatment System
The land treatment system at Lubbock, Texas provides an excellent model for studying the response of a system to growth. It also provides insights and justification for current criteria...

Utilization of Geographic Information Systems Technology in the Assessment of Regional Ground-Water Quality
The U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Pesticide Programs and several State agencies in Oregon has prepared a digital...

Selenium Removal?Can We Afford It?
The process of biologically removing the element selenium from agricultural drainage water is discussed and an economic evaluation of the process is presented. If by-products can be recovered,...

Agricultural Drainage Water?How Should It be Regulated?
This paper discusses the existing framework of California liquid waste disposal law, the obstacles presented by these and other laws pertaining to agricultural drainage water disposal...

An Overview of Factors Affecting Land Application of Food Processing Wastes
The food processing industry can use slow rate, rapid infiltration or overland flow systems. Slow rate systems are the most common method used for land application. The limiting design...

Management Challenges Affecting Agricultural Reuse of High-Strength Food Processing Wastewaters
Land treatment of high-strength food processing wastewaters is a viable pollution control technology. Due to the high-strength characteristics of these wastewaters, effective site management...

Garbage: Cogeneration's Third Dimension
Burning garbage or refuse derived fuels (RDF) is becoming more common in cogeneration plants being constructed in the U.S. The three-for-one concept turns one fuel into two products (steam...

Nuclear Waste Disposal: Where Are We?
The U.S. Department of Energy is conducting preliminary site characterizations for three candidates for nuclear waste disposal. The sites are in three different geologic sites. A Richland,...

Stochastic Stream Flow Analysis for Hydrograph Controlled Waste Release
A risk based procedure for the design of hydrograph controlled release sewage lagoons is derived. The procedure is based on a stochastic analysis of streamflow events above a given threshold...

Detention Basin Design Using Continuous Simulation
A continuous simulation model is proposed for use in the design of detention basins. The model accepts standard National Weather Service hourly rainfall data as input. The hourly rainfall...

The Storage Matching Technique of Detention Basin Design
In recent years, use of continuous rainfall - runoff simulation with historic rainfall data has become much more popular for the design of detention basins and reservoirs. While it may...

Muskingum Flow Routing Using Personal Computers
The paper discusses how tedious computations involved in flow routing can be easily implemented on Personal Computers. Parameter estimation and routing calculations for both linear and...

Verifications and Applications of a Nonpoint Source Pollution Model
To meet the needs of the Illinois Comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation (CM&E) project of the Rural Clean Water Program (RCWP), the Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Model...

Geotechnical Practice for Waste Disposal '87
This volume contains 55 papers covering many aspects of geotechnical issues associated with waste disposal. The papers represent advances during the intervening decade since the first...

Dioxin and Resource Recovery
The 1987 ASCE Dioxin and Resource Recovery Symposium was held at the New York Hilton Hotel, New York on February 10, 1987. The conference served as an opportunity to assess the issue of...

A Burning Wasteland Reclaimed
Until recently the PJP Landfill exemplified what can happen when uncontrolled and illegal dumping goes on for many years. Now it is an example of what innovation and imagination can do...

A Data Base System for Hazardous Materials Transportation
This paper reports on a hazardous materials transportation study conducted in Arizona. Two types of surveys were conducted: hazardous waste shipments for 1983 and 1984 compiled from manifests;...
