Use of Contaminant Mobility and Transport Parameters to Determine Water Testing Protocol
By 1994, EPA plans to regulate 83 contaminants in public water supplies. For rural communities and individuals who are not classified as public systems, the cost to monitor all 83 contaminants...
Statewide NPS Management Strategies
Statewide nonpoint source (NPS) management strategies are necessary because there are several different levels of authority involved, and the priority of action needs to be related to...
A TVD MacCormack Method for Open Water Hydraulics and Transport
Water Quality and Hydrologic Characteristics of a Wet Detention Pond
A small wet detention pond was instrumented to determine treatment efficiencies. Annual loads showed a reduction from the inflow to the outflow for ammonia as nitrogen (39%), organic nitrogen...
The Potential Fate of Particulate Contaminants from the Rehabilitated Ranger Uranium Mine
In the initial period after rehabilitation of the Ranger Uranium Mine most particulate matter released into Magela Creek will be wash load. 10% of the annual deposits on the backwater...
Evaluation of Fine Aggregate Particle Shape and Texture
In an effort to minimize or eliminate permanent deformation (rutting) of heavy duty asphalt pavements most governing agencies now limit the amount of natural sand which generally (not...
Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
This is the proceedings of the second ASCE specialty conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling devoted to the rapidly evolving field of marine environmental modeling. The primary focus...

Dual-System Cleanup
Engineers designing a ground water treatment system for a manufacturing plant in northern California, found that two systems are better�and cheaper�than one. Most of the ground water at...
Migration of Spilled Oil from Ruptured Underground Crude Oil Pipelines in the Memphis Area
This study evaluated the impact of an oil pipeline rupture in the recharge area of a West Tennessee aquifer. Two potential break locations were chosen in the alluvial valley of a main...

Predicting Fate and Effects of Hydrocarbons in the Oceans
Three major sources of hydrocarbons exist in the oceans. One is from oil spills related to the production and transportation of hydrocarbons. The second, while generally not spectacular,...
Designing for Control of Ice Conditions in Marinas
Each marina or small-craft harbor experiencing ice during the winter months must be designed for site specific conditions. These conditions are governed by environmental factors (geology,...
New Hydrologic Instrumentation in the U.S. Geological Survey
New water-level sensing and recording instrumentation is being used by the U.S. Geological Survey for monitoring water levels, stream velocities, and water-quality characteristics. Several...
Risk Assessment for Groundwater Pollution Control
Prepared by the Groundwater Risk Assessment Task Committee for the Water Pollution Management Committee of the Environmental Engineering Division of ASCE. ...
Valuing Residual Emissions in Electricity Planning
Incorporating the valuation of residual emissions into calculations of social cost permits comparisons among alternative sources of electricity generation inclusive of environmental impacts....
Public Policy Issues for Sustainable Commerce
Sustainable commerce is the process of providing the material needs of a society while using natural resources no faster than they are being generated and generating wastes no faster than...
Exploring CO2 Emissions Reduction Strategies
Concern for potential climate change resulting from the greenhouse effect may be the biggest factor in energy planning in the 1990s. A 20% reduction in CO2,...
Electric Utility Planning for Greenhouse Concerns
International concerns for the potential of significant climate change resulting from the greenhouse phenomenon have focused increasing attention on the emissions of carbon dioxide and...
The Low Temperature Engine System?Status Report
