Environmental Remediation Using Horizontal Directional Drilling: Applications and Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The use of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology in environmental remediation operations is an emerging field. An overview of horizontal environmental well technology, and its use in North America is presented. ... -
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 ... -

Viewpoint: The Past, Present, and Future Management of Contaminated Federal Facilities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Interaction of Metal and Other Contaminants Present in Sludge and Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the interaction of metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Ni) and nitrate-N present in municipal sludge with a soil sample. The soil selected for this experiment was Menfro silt ... -
Developing Strategy for Establishing Landfill Gas as Cause of Ground-Water Contamination
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the tell-tale characteristics of contaminant transport to ground water via gas migration from municipal solid waste landfills, and corresponding investigative techniques ... -
Management of Discarded Pharmaceuticals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Federal regulations addressing pharmaceutical disposal only exist for those designated as controlled substances by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). For all others, the generator must determine the best method of ... -
Pollution Prevention as Planning Tool in Rehabilitation of Historic Canton Railroad Viaduct
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Many construction projects must confront the need to manage pollutants, including oil and/or hazardous materials as well as sediments. Where possible, identifying, addressing, and resolving potential pollution issues can ... -
Predicting Aqueous Metal Species in a Stream Impacted by Mining Activity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The impact of mining activity in the Tri-State Mining District of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma has resulted in continual exceedance in water quality standards in many surface waters including Short Creek in Galena, Kans. ... -

Reductive Dechlorination of DNAPL Trichloroethylene by Zero-Valent Iron
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The reduction of trichloroethyl (TCE) by metallic iron was studied under conditions in which the trichloroethylene would exist as a separate phase in a water/iron system. The products of the reaction were determined over ... -
Full-Scale Leachate Treatment Using New Evaporation Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)New low-cost evaporation technology is used for leachate treatment at a sanitary landfill in Finland. A full-scale plant with a capacity of 130 m -
Oily Wastewater Treatment by Ultrafiltration: Pilot-Scale Results and Full-Scale Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A West Virginia company that produces an oily waste decided to upgrade their wastewater treatment facilities to prevent possible ground and surface water contamination. The contaminant of concern was oil/grease. West ... -
Monitoring Biofilters Used for Air Pollution Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Biofilters treat contaminated air by passing it through a damp porous medium that supports a vigorous culture of microorganisms. Contaminants dissolve in the water and are degraded by the microorganisms. Successful operation ... -
Matrix Approach to Contaminant Transport Potential
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A rapid, visual evaluation technique has been developed to rank contaminant transport potential at potential release sites (PRSs) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The so-called “matrix approach” is used to ... -
Contaminated Soil Management at Construction Sites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)New Jersey Transit (NJT) is constructing a 34-km-long, dual-track Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Transit System (H-BLRTS) along the Hudson River water front in New Jersey to ease local traffic congestion and to improve the ... -
Assessing Human Exposure to Benzene at Petroleum-Contaminated Site
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Entry of volatile organic compounds into buildings is often considered when evaluating air exposure pathways during remedial investigation of petroleum-contaminated sites. This paper presents two approaches used to evaluate ... -
Role of Geophysics in Expedited Site Characterization: Case History
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Expedited site characterization (ESC) is an environmental investigation approach that focuses on using nonintrusive and minimally intrusive investigative techniques synergistically to efficiently and thoroughly characterize ... -
Management of Solid Waste from Abrasive Blasting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The treatment of structural surfaces with high-pressure blasting using an abrasive medium results in the production of a solid waste. This solid waste contains the original abrasive material and any material that was present ... -
Cost Effectiveness and Incremental Cost Analyses: Alternative to Benefit-Cost Analysis for Environmental Remediation Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)An approach is presented for evaluating site-specific or multisite alternative environmental remedies that involve nonmonetary benefits. After discussing problems that currently preclude the use of benefit-cost analysis ...
