Water Oxidation of Sludges and Toxic Wastes
Waste treatment technologies such as subcritical and supercritical water oxidation processes offer innovative alternatives to vexing sludge and toxic wastewater treatment problems. This...

Digester Gas Resource Recovery at Phoenix, Arizona
Until July 1986, the digester gas produced at this 150 million gallon per day facility, in excess of what was utilized for heating anaerobic digesters was flared. In 1983, a feasibility...

Conversion of Mixed Waste to LSA Waste?A Case Study
This paper describes a treatment process that was successfully employed at the National Guard Armory in Chicago, Illinois, to convert sludge classified as hazardous chemical/radioactive...

Radioactive Mixed Waste at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
This paper discusses compliance by the U.S. Department of Energy Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (1)....

Low-Level Waste Disposal Design: An Overview
Low-Level radioactive waste disposal is regulated by several agencies. Mixed waste, which is both radioactive and chemically hazardous is regulated by two agencies with potentially different...

Long-term Land Treatment: A Performance Evaluation
Overland flow (OLF) land treatment has been applied effectively in the United States for the treatment of industrial and municipal wastewaters. Although several overland flow systems in...

A Risk-Based Evaluation of Best Management Practices to Control Agricultural Groundwater Contamination
The probabilities of groundwater contamination by pesticides under different management alternatives were evaluated in a single county in Oklahoma by coupling an agricultural infiltration...

An Expert System for Groundwater Management with Applications to Collier County, FL
This paper describes techniques used in frequency analysis, time series model building, forecasting, up-dating, and mapping. Domain knowledge of experts is transferred into the system...

An Evaluation of Hazardous Waste Land Treatment Closure Options
The purpose of this research was to evaluate changes in the persistence and mobility of the residues remaining when hazardous waste land treatment (HWLT) sites are closed. This evaluation...

The Utilization of a Deflocculant to Decrease the Permeability of a Clay Liner
A hazardous waste landfill was completed in Oklahoma during 1988. The clay liner was constructed to fulfill the RCRA requirements for permeability of equal to or less than 1E-07 centimeters...

Design and Implementation of a Risk-Based Remedial Action Program for Underground Tank Removal at a Dioxin-Contaminated Site
The unknown or uncertain conditions often inherent in hazardous waste site remediation projects complicate the job of the responsible professional to adequately assess and manage associated...

A Local Approach to Regulating Toxic Air Contaminants
The Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District began developing a local toxic rule that would apply to a broad number of pollutants and yet be readily usable to a permitting engineer....

Agricultural Salinity?Nature, Extent & Concerns
This paper presents an overview on the nature, extent and concerns of agricultural salinity problems. The problem of salinity has extended beyond the farmlands, and the practice of saline...

Effects of Salts on Soils and Plants
Salinity is a major constraint to crop production in many irrigated lands of the world. Management practices are needed for the control of soil and water salinity. The development of appropriate...

Water Quality Criteria for Irrigation
An assessment of irrigation water quality for the concentration of inorganic constituents should consider crop sensitivities, soil properties, such as hydraulic conductivity, reactions...

Irrigation and Drainage Practices
Salinity causes many problems in agriculture, by lowering production or requiring more intensive management on farms, or by degrading off-farm soils and waters. This paper describes causes...

Treatment and Disposal Options
Viable treatment and disposal alternatives which can meet stringent environmental regulations and at affordable cost to the agricultural economy present formidable problems. Treatment...

Institutional, Environmental and Legal Issues
An evaluation of the subsurface agricultural drainage problems occurring on prime agricultural land on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley of California offers an insight into the...

Irrigation Agriculture: Is it Sustainable?
Irrigation in (semi-) arid climates can be managed in such a way that it can be sustained indefinitely. Salination can be avoided by providing adequate drainage. Drainage, however, exacts...

Cokriging for Evaluating Agricultural Pollution
Subsurface drainage data from irrigated lands near Twin Falls, Idaho were used. Total Dissolved Solids and NO₃-N were selected as variables. The...
