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...
Allowable Metal Contaminant Levels in Landfilled Sludge
Disposal of municipal sludges in dedicated sanitary landfills can be environmentally acceptable. Contaminants within the sludge present the potential for public health risks but these...
Manatee County Plans for Environmental Protection
Faced with a projected population increase of 53 percent by the year 2000, Manatee County, Florida, is protecting its water resources by developing a regional wastewater facilities program...
Well Rehabilitation Using Decision Tree Analysis
The decision tree concept of decision analysis theory can be easily adapted to the water and wastewater industry in making spending decisions for rehabilitation programs, renewal and replacement...
Evaluation of the Effects of Temperature and Oxygen Concentration on Lignin Biodegradation
Color in natural waters has been attributed to humic substances which are believed to originate as by-products of lignin biodegradation. The purpose of our research was to examine the...
A Case Study of Ground Water Quality Protection in California
Incidents of ground water contamination from improper disposal of industrial wastewater have been widespread throughout California. In late 1984 the State Water Resources Control Board...
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...
True Cost Comparison of Landfilling and Incineration of Hazardous Wastes
An analysis of the 'true' costs of a series of discrete model situations representing hazardous waste management by landfilling and incineration was conducted....
Computer Control of Lift Station Operations
A unique computerized control system to supervise the operation of several lift stations has been designed by Boyle Engineering Corporation (Boyle) and constructed by the City of Orlando,...
Los Angeles Infiltration/Inflow Reduction Program
The City of Los Angeles maintains and operates two wastewater collection and treatment systems: the Hyperion System and the Terminal Island System. During the wet months of December through...
Role of Air in Improving First-Stage RBC Performance
A four-stage RBC (rotating biological contactor) treatment plant having two parallel trains is used to treat combined municipal and industrial dairy waste from a city with a population...
Fluidization of Biomas Covered Sand Particles
The expansion behavior of the fluidized bed reactor support medium is important in its design and analysis. Steady state and dynamic behavior of fluidized bed expansion were compared with...
Resource Recovery Mass-Burning Incineration
The various types of incineration systems are discussed, and the technical and economic factors to be considered in developing a resource recovery project are examined....
Quality Assessment Standards & Low-Level Nuclear Waste: How Standards Have Been Developed and Applied
The authors examine the application of organized quality assurance procedures to the nuclear industry since 1970....
Codisposal of Low-Level Radioactive Cobalt Within Sanitary Landfills
The potential of resolubilization of radioactive cobalt from cobalt sulfide by humic substances present in landfill leachate was investigated. Equilibrium and kinetic studies on the potential...
Method Development for Evaluating Radionuclide Emissions from Incineration of Low Level Radioactive Waste
The implementation of an incineration monitoring program for low level radioactive waste is a complex task, especially in the area of obtaining environmental permits. Emissions monitoring...
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....
