Contaminants in wildlife utilising confined disposal facilities
Voles, shrews and aquatic plants from the Thunder Bay Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) and hatchery-reared ducks, released and recaptured four and 10 weeks after release, were analysed for heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Metal concentrations in duck livers were comparable to our control site values and other reported studies. Metal concentrations in voles and shrews were ...

A multi-objective and multi-period location-allocation model for solid waste disposal facilities: a case study of Delhi, India
Disposal facilities are essential components of waste management. Even with the increased emphasis on waste minimisation, reuse and recycling, the amounts of waste residues requiring disposal are continuously increasing. Urban centres are faced with a multitude of problems owing to increasing quantities of waste residues coupled with decreasing availability of land in urban areas. Optimal use of ...

Public perception of ultimate disposal facilities for radioactive waste and carbon dioxide: results from a cross–national comparison
The public perception of ultimate disposal facilities for Radioactive Waste (RW) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is crucial for the selection, construction and operation of such sites. This paper presents a cross–national comparison of the public perceptions of ultimate disposal facilities for RW and CO2 in the Czech Republic, Germany and Lithuania. The results of the comparison revealed similarities ...

MCDM for location and evaluation of waste disposal facilities in metropolitan areas: the case of East Attica
The focus of the present work is on the development of a multiple criteria methodological framework for the evaluation of alternative sites of waste treatment facilities which will support the decision making process and has been implemented in the study region of the Prefecture of East Attica, Greater Athens area, Greece. Two sets of criteria have been developed: the first set was used for the ...

Confined disposal facilities: History and trends
ABSTRACT Confined disposal facilities with filter layers have been used for disposal of dredged sediments for decades. Recent assessment of the environmental risk of contaminants in sediments has resulted in the use of lined confined disposal facilities. A case history outlines a contaminated sediment disposal facility designed with geosynthetics. Trends indicate more stringent requirements for ...

Safety/risk assessment methodologies of deep geological facilities: results from a cross–national comparison
Any geological disposal/storage facility must prove its safe performance prior to licensing, regardless of whether the compound is solid radioactive waste (RW) or gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2). The disposal/storage facility is considered safe if it meets the relevant safety standards and proves its reliable safe performance over defined timescales. This paper presents a cross–national comparison ...

Salmon Processor 2
This facility generates 5,000 gallons of 4-6% solids sludge from their DAF using Floccin 1105. In addition, there are 24 bins per day (about 1 cubic yard each or 250 gallons) of nonedibles defined as off spec materials, cooking oil, batter, hot dogs, and chicken parts. Currently, 13 loads are transported for disposal to offsite disposal facilities that have hauling as well as tipping fees. In an ...

Super-duty tube type oil skimmer delivers instant ROI for salt water disposal facility
Salt water is a byproduct of oil and natural gas extraction. Typically, the salt water contains residual oil. For companies involved in the disposal of salt water, removing the residual oil from the water offers potentially significant economic benefit. One salt water disposal facility successfully used a Model 6V Brill® oil skimmer with the free floating collector tube, from Oil Skimmers, ...

Chloride transport and related processes at a municipal snow storage and disposal site
The practice of used snow disposal has evolved from indiscriminate snow dumping to storage and meltwater management at engineered snow disposal sites. The Town of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, constructed such a snow disposal site in 2003. Environment Canada and the Town of Richmond Hill formed a partnership to investigate the operation of the Richmond Hill Snow Storage Facility (RHSSF) with ...

Initial stages of pollutants dispersion around municipal waste disposal facilities: a case study in Northern Portugal
The combined use of several geological, geochemical and geophysical observations during six years enabled the detection of a very faint halo of chemical contamination induced by the operation of a young waste disposal facility in Northern Portugal. The halo does not classify as pollution by any standards, but is observed to be intensifying and thus signals a potential hazardous situation in ...

Comparison of cost estimates of final disposal facilities for carbon dioxide and high–level radioactive waste
This paper presents new research and new cost calculations for carbon dioxide (CO2) disposal in Cuba and Lithuania, as well as lessons from the comparative assessment of CO2 and high–level Radioactive Waste (RW) disposal costs in several countries. Nuclear power and CO2 Capture and Disposal (CCD) are key greenhouse gas mitigation options, both entailing the long–term, geological disposal of ...

RCRA: Reducing Risk From Waste
This document provides an overview of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) solid and hazardous waste regulations. It describes the history of RCRA, the role of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the states, and hazardous waste definitions and management requirements, including the roles of generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. In ...

Numerical modelling of the environmental impact of landfill leachate leakage on groundwater quality – a field application
Waste disposal facilities are mainly responsible for the gradual quality degradation of subsurface freshwater reservoirs. The main objective of this work is to identify the groundwater contamination risk due to potential leachate leakage and seepage beneath the municipal landfill of the City of Patras in Greece. A groundwater and leachate mass transport model of the underlying aquifer was ...

Recovering Hydrocarbons from Fracking Wastewater
Throughout the past few years, organizations involved in the oil and gas industry's hydraulic fracturing wastewater business have learned that employing efficient, low-maintenance oil skimming technology can bring sustained improvements to the bottom line. Facilities treating hydraulic fracturing wastewater for permanent disposal into underground injection wells have found that oil skimming can ...

Excavation, Retrieval, and Off-Site Disposal
Introduction: Contaminated material is removed and transported to permitted off-site treatment and/or disposal facilities. Some pretreatment of the contaminated media usually is required in order to meet land disposal restrictions. Confined disposal facilities (CDFs) are engineered structure enclosed by dikes and designed to retain dredged materials. A CDF may have a large cell for material ...

How to set up a small scale, medical waste disposal facility
Problems with medical waste. Medical waste disposal represents one of the single most serious challenges for developing countries. Most of which is dumped on open land, presenting challenges for today’s generation and future generation to come. Through the piles of illegally dumped, medical waste, scavengers run the risk of infection while searching for used syringes to sell as profit. ...

Comparative assessment of ultimate disposal facilities for carbon dioxide and radioactive waste: overview and synthesis
The world community is seeking to move towards cleaner sources of energy for electricity generation to protect the environment. In addition to renewables, nuclear power and fossil fuel plants with carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) are potential clean energy sources, if their wastes, i.e., radioactive material and CO2, are disposed of in an environmentally benign manner. Deep ...
