(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
ASCE Environmental Site Investigation Manual Put to Practical Use as an Industry Reference
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)From across the nation a task committee of recognized experts assembled to prepare a guidance manual for professionals involved in the due diligence evaluation of site contamination from oil or hazardous materials. This ... -
Diesel Contamination Remediation at a Remote Site in a Cold Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Petroleum hydrocarbon soil contamination is currently one of the most prevalent types of contamination encountered in sites undergoing evaluation and remediation. Both in-situ and ex-situ bioremediation with varying levels ... -
Exposure Assessment Using Analytical and Numerical Models: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Exposure assessment studies attempt to link environmental pollution with increased health risk to humans. Most occurrences of past exposure have sparse databases from which to estimate health risks. Thus, analytical and ... -
Analyses to Identify Optimum Value Pollution Prevention Alternatives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Policies and procedures set forth in Executive Order 12856, SECNAVINST 5000.2A and OPNAVINST 5090.1B include requirements for the Navy to select and use the least hazardous materials to meet mission, operations, and ... -

Privatized Waste Cleanup in Massachusetts: LSP Program
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)In 1993, Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to privatize its hazardous-waste site cleanup program in an effort to expedite contaminated properties through the regulatory system and to provide a more definitive ... -
Enhancing Landfill Leachate Recirculation System Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Leachate recirculation is gaining popularity as an alternative to conventional single-pass leachate systems. Research has shown that leachate recirculation through a landfill can offer operational advantages such as enhanced ... -
Global Industry and Hazardous Waste Practice: Heading toward Sustainability with Risk Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Outside of the United States, alternative approaches to cleaning up hazardous waste problems of the past do not involve placing the entire burden on industry. In Sweden, Germany, and Japan, significant joint efforts between ... -
Landfill Gas As Source of VOCs in Ground Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)During 1993 and 1994, Waste Management, Inc. and RUST Environment & Infrastructure conducted a complex site investigation at a municipal waste landfill to investigate whether landfill gas and/or leachate was the source of ... -
