Aerial Radiation Survey at a Military Range
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) is currently listed on the Superfund National Priorities List because of past waste handling practices at 13 “study areas.” Concern has been expressed that anthropogenic radioisotopes may have ... -
Aerobic Biofiltration Processes—Advances in Wastewater Treatment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Wastewater biofiltration is a distinct process as compared to other biological treatments as the microorganisms are fixed to a support and wastewater flows through it to be treated. The biofiltration process technologies ... -
Alternative Use of MULTIMED Model for Subtitle D Landfill Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)To justify a performance-based landfill design or suspension of ground-water monitoring requirements under the federal criteria for municipal solid waste landfills, the characteristics, generation, and migration of landfill ... -
Aluminum Reactions and Problems in Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Aluminum enters municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills from untreated raw curbside trash (MSW), industrial waste, and aluminum production wastes variously called dross, baghouse fines, salt cake, and other designations. ... -
Ambient Ozone Formation Contribution in Central Taiwan: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)In this study, the emission data from the Taiwan Emission Data System (TEDS 6.1) and the Comprehensive Air Quality Model Extensions (CAMx) model was used to measure the source contribution of ozone -

Anaerobic Biodegradation of RDX and TCE: Single- and Dual-Contaminant Batch Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Several sites in the United States have groundwater contaminated with mixtures of high explosives and chlorinated solvents. This research examined the ability of two microbial cultures (anaerobic sludge and a facultative ... -
Analyses of Seismic Damage to Interfaces in Waste Containment Systems: A Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Interfaces are generally the weak links in most structural systems because they are locations of stress concentration and physicochemical/biological attack from both external and internal causes. For waste containment ... -
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 ... -
