The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, Division of Water Pollution Control, administers the state's Clean Lakes and Great Ponds Program. The program,...
Movement of Nonaqueous Liquids in Groundwater
Evidence from field sites indicates that when nonaqueous liquids, such as organic solvents and gasoline, are released into the subsurface environment they tend to remain as a separate...
Containment of Low-Level Radioactive Material
The U. S. Department of Energy has completed a short term storage site for the containment of low-level radioactive residues and contaminated soil near Lewiston, New York. The site, known...
Waste Concentration Effects of Grout Barriers
Great concern has developed over hazardous waste sites, particularly in the leaching of the hazardous wastes into groundwater supplies. Many sites that are considered contaminated and...
Flow and Mass Transport for Hazardous Waste Liners
Certain aspects of flow and contaminant migration of hazardous liquids through soils are addressed. A fine-grained soil and fluids commonly encountered in hazardous sites, were considered....
Quality Control Testing for a Sand-Bentonite Liner
This paper presents the results of the quality control testing performed during the construction of a sand-bentonite liner for a sanitary landfill site in Central Florida. The available...
Hydrogeologic Investigations at a Superfund Site in Wisconsin
An estimated 10,000 drums of volatile organic wastes from a nearby manufacturing plant were dumped at a landfill site in southern Wisconsin. Chemicals released from these drums have contaminated...
Quality Assurance Monitoring of a Large Clay Liner
The Keele Valley Landfill at Maple, Ontario, consists of a 99 ha (245 acre) facility to serve the Metropolitan Toronto area. The landfill is located in a former sand and gravel pit, with...
Conversion of a Reservoir Into a Landfill Site
The Writer is acting as a geotechnical consultant during the conversion of a disused water reservoir into a landfill site for domestic and industrial refuse. The site developer had no...
Guide for the Design and Use of Concrete Poles
Prepared by the Concrete Pole Task Committee of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Division of ASCE. This guide presents...
Detection, Control, and Renovation of Contaminated Ground Water
The papers in this book provide technical guidance to engineers regarding the problems, solutions, and uncertainties associated with groundwater contamination in the United States. The...
Modeled Effects of Hydraulic Mixing Devices on Reservoir Water Quality
A two-dimensional reservoir water quality model was used to evaluate effects of hydraulic mixing devices on release and water quality. Seasonal simulations of Douglas Reservoir water quality...
Plume Underflow Interaction in Natural Enclosures
A preliminary investigation into the feasibility of using a hot-water plume to intercept and entrain a cold underflow is presented. The investigation involved an adaptation of existing...
Parking Lot Drainage Design: Gainesville, Florida
The construction of a 10-acre (4. 05 ha) parking facility (1,000-car capacity) at the University of Florida during 1984 presented the potential for increasing downstream flooding and for...
Time Variability of Suspended Material Concentrations in Estuaries
The concentration of suspended materials (SMC) within estuarine systems varies in response to a variety of factors. This variability complicates sampling SMC and establishes particular...
Modeling Cohesive Sediment-Pollutant Interaction in Surface Waters
Particulate and dissolved pollutant transport rates are predicted using a pollutant transport modeling system. The latter is a finite element model capable of simulating two-dimensional...
Management of Water Distribution System Components
The purpose of this study is to 1) analyze main break failures and 2) incorporate other drinking water distribution system components into a data base management structure for reliability...
A Semianalytical Method for Solving Unsteady Flow Equations
This paper proposes a method that uses conjunctively the Laplace transform for continuous time and finite element for spatial discretization to solve unsteady flow equations. Laplace transforms...
Basin: A Simple Yet Many Faceted Model for Estuarial Impoundments
BASIN is a hydrodynamic and water quality model designed to provide a simplified analysis of flows and constituent concentrations in both tidal and non-tidal water bodies. BASIN is excellent...
Alternative Methods for Representing Sinkholes in Three-Dimensional Ground Water Flow Models
Two methods of representing the sinkholes in central Florida were investigated with a three-dimensional finite element model recently developed by Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. Both...
