Risk of Waterborne Infectious Illness Associated with Diving in the Point Loma Kelp Beds, San Diego, CA
There is considerable interest in estimating the risk of bacterial and viral illness (i.e., disease, infection) associated with scuba diving in the Point Loma kelp beds located within...
Conducting a Waterline Corrosion Evaluation
A study has been conducted to determine the level of corrosion activity occuring on the U.S. Navy's potable waterlines on Guam. The study evaluated soil parameters including...
A Method for Design and Evaluation of Rapid Sand Filters Treating Secondary Effluents
The information presented in this paper provides a framework for analysis of rapid sand filter performance. Process variables are quantitatively related to filter design variables in a...
Radon Resistant New Construction Practices
This paper highlights the basic principles for building radon-resistant houses and it groups the construction techniques into four categories, i.e., the barrier approach, soil ventilation...
Modeling of Gaseous Emission from Landfills and Other Area Sources
Several dispersion models based on the Gaussian equation are evaluated to assess their relative utility in modeling emission dispersion from an area source, such as a landfill. The VAPOR...
Preacquisition Environmental Site Assessments: Avoiding Common Errors and Omissions
The 1986 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) established an 'innocent-purchaser' defense to environmental liability from ownership of contaminated...
Decision Framework for Assessment of Leaking UST's
A computer-based environmental planning tool, designed to help mitigate the environmental problems associated with leaking underground storage tanks (UST) is presented in this article....
Analysis of Model Uncertainty Using Bayesian Monte Carlo
Bayesian Monte Carlo analysis combines Bayesian inference with standard Monte Carlo techniques to provide improved estimates of the uncertainty in water quality model parameters and results....
Simulation of Oxygen Dynamics in the Vadose Zone
A microcomputer model VIP (Vadose Zone Interactive Processes) was developed as an extension of the RITZ model to provide a mathematical description of land treatment systems for the disposal...
Trio of Microcomputer Models for Organic Chemical Transport in Rivers
Three microcomputer models have been jointly developed to provide tools to simulate the fate of organic chemicals in river systems. The three models offer a range of complexities and data...
Effect of Flow Conditions on Stream Reaeration Coefficients
Contrary to the findings of previous studies of channel-controlled stream reaches, it was found that, in four reaches of a small stream characterized by a series of pools and riffles,...
Estimation of Infiltration Rates from a Landfill
The Landfill Source Model (LSM) provides a physically-based, computationally efficient estimate of leachate emanating from a landfill. The model is PC-based and simulates a number of surface...
