Preparing for Pier A
Earthquakes, oil wells, contamination and unstable soil were among the challenges engineers faced as they prepared a site at California's port of Long Beach for the Pier A...
Compaction Characteristics of Contaminated Soils-Reuse as a Road Base Material
Contaminated soils generated from leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) sites are classified as solid waste or non-hazardous waste. Since petroleum contaminated soils are solid waste...
Clearing the Air, Biologically
Using biofilters to reduce air pollution emitted from publicly owned treatment works is becoming more popular as owners realize how effective the systems are. The process cleans the air...
The Membrane Treatment
Innovations in the design and use of pressure-driven membranes can help municipalities reach stringent drinking water quality standards. Although membrane processes have been used successfully...

Design of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants
This revised manual, updated from the previous edition, aims to be the principal reference of contemporary practice for the design of municipal wastewater treatment plants. The manual...
Net Gains
Project Web sites can be as simple as a repository for drawings and documents or complex enough to allow real-time dialogue between interested parties and project monitoring. One of GZA's...
Oil in the Soil
An oil well blowout in northern Italy contaminated about 1,500 ha of agricultural land primarily used to cultivate rice. The cleanup team decided to use bioremediation techniques because...
Brownfields by the Book
To spur the redevelopment of brownfield properties, many state legislatures have passed laws that allow developers to revitalize contaminated industrial sites without the high risks or...
Dealing with DNAPLs
Trichloroethylene (TCE) in groundwater is one of the most prevalent contamination problems at hazardous waste sites; a problem that is substantially greater if the TCE is present as dense...
Multiplicity (Available only in the Geoenvironmental Special Issue)
When it comes to tracking groundwater contaminant plumes, single completion monitoring wells are the standard choice, but they aren't the only one. After four years of trying...
Dredging Up Toxic Sediments
Lots of people like to catch their fish and eat them too, but that's a dangerous proposition when they're fishing in water polluted with highly toxic pesticides....
ETA:1999
To convert the Bergstrom Air Force Base into the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, planners needed to overcome various technical, social, political and environmental issues. To coordinate...
Hydraulic Fracturing Advances (Available Only in Geoenvironmental Special Issue)
Removing contaminants trapped in clays and nonpermeable soils can be difficult if not impossible with traditional extraction methods. A look at four hydraulic fracturing case studies shows...
Containing Contaminants (Available Only in Geoenvironmental Special Issue)
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy are currently in favor of containing contaminants and either remediating on site or simply capping such materials within...
Environmental Quality, Innovative Technologies, and Sustainable Economic Development
A NAFTA Perspective
This workshop proceedings assesses the current level of environmental technologies available in key media and industrial areas and their role in enhancing environmental quality in international...
