Groundwater Remediation at a Superfund Site
Soil and groundwater contamination at the Montana Post & Pole site in Butte, Montana, one of the nation's oldest Superfund sites, has developed into one of the most significant...
Fate/Transport Modeling and Remediation of Contaminated Plume at Vance Airforce Base
Air Training Command (ATC) at Vance Air Force Base (VAFB) is responsible for implementing the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) according to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,...
Movement of Colloids Under Hydraulic Gradients
A model was developed for analyzing the movement of colloidal clay particles in laboratory soil columns. The physical mechanisms of detachment of particles from the soil matrix, their...
Estimation of Spillway Free Jet Trajectory Lengths
The design of high head spillways with flip bucket terminal structures must include analysis of the length of the free jet issuing from the spillway. Prototype jet trajectory lengths are...
Comparison of Headcut Advance Testing and Soil Test Results
This paper presents the results of a study conducted in a flume to determine headcut advance rates of two base soils compacted at various compaction moistures and placement energies. The...
Influence of a Sand Layer on Headcut Advance
The presence of an erodible material layer in the soil profile has been observed to influence headcut movement in earth emergency spillways. Large-scale flume tests were conducted to examine...
West Columbus, OH LPP Gate Closure Analysis - A Study of the Requirements for Multiple Closures
Providing flood protection by levees and/or floodwalls often requires the use of temporary closures, in lieu of the more expensive relocation of highways and railroads, in order to maintain...
1993 Ground-Water Flooding in the Havana Area
The Havana area in Mason County, west-central Illinois, experienced nearly continuous rises in the water table beginning in the fall of 1992 which created lakes in depressed areas. Water...
A Study on Mathematical Model for Sediment Yield in Mountain Regions with Large Hillside Slopes
Based on the characteristics of water and soil loss in mountain region with large hillside slopes in southwest of China, the equations of runoff formation and sediment yield are obtained....
Fluvial Hydraulics of Streams and Mountain Rivers with Mobile Bed
The local hydraulic conditions concerning the incipient motion of the bed material in mountain streams are considered. Results of measurements carried out by using the radioisotope tracer...
Size Characteristics of Debris Flow Deposition
The size distribution of debris flow deposition is extremely wide which may contain nearly all particles from clay and colloid to boulder. Particle size and composition have very important...
Analysis of Sand Movement on Noto Coast by Geochemical Method
The analysis of sand samples by X - ray fluorescent spectroscopy (abbreviated by XRF) gives the ratio of the geochemical elements to construct the sand samples. This shows the geochemical...
Stochastic Control With Bounded Sample Paths: An Application to Reservoir Systems
The consideration of at least the first two statistical moments for the storage volumes of a reservoir system is crucial in an analysis aimed at determining the optimal operations policies...
Scour Hole Depth Downstream of the SAF stilling Basin
A Model to predict the maximum local scour depth downstream of the SAF stilling basin is presented. The model is based on stability analysis of a particle attacked by the hydrodynamic...
Urban Runoff Based on Land Use and Particle Size
As point sources have achieved pollution compliance, the focus of pollution abatement has shifted to nonpoint sources. New Federal regulations require wet-weather monitoring of drainage...
Non-Point Source Pollution Reduction
The paper reports on the results of a study to determine the effectiveness of the best management practices (BMPs) for use in the Tampa Bay Watershed. The study aims to determine the efficiency,...
Investigation of an Anisotropic k-? Model
In this paper the eddy viscosity hypothesis is abandoned and explicit expressions of Reynolds stress are deduced directly from the transport equations. Anisotropic k and ? equations are...

Minimizing the Probable Maximum Flood
A newly-developed probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimate for Wisconsin and Michigan reduced precipitation depths by 20%. Should a given area's probable maximum flood...
Predicted and Measured Behavior of Five Spread Footings on Sand
This publication contains the results of a full scale load testing program used to predict and measure the bahavior of five spread footings on sand. These results were presented at the...
