Beta diversity as a tool for determining priority streams for management actions
Beta diversity has become essential for understanding ecosystem functioning and for determining biodiversity-conservation priority areas. However, the beta diversity patterns of invertebrates in tropical aquatic ecosystems are not well known, particularly in streams. Using data from low-order streams located in southern Brazil, we evaluated the beta diversity of Chironomidae. We tested the ...

On-Site TPH in Soil Measurements
On-site analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration levels in soil are easily handled using the InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers manufactured by Wilks Enterprise, Inc. The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers are portable infrared (IR) analyzers that quickly determine TPH levels in less than 10-15 minutes, including the extraction. Concentrations as low as 10 ppm to well over 10,000 - 20,000 ...

Innovative approach to unforeseen site conditions – case study
The Crater Resources Quarry 3 Remediation site was a former limestone quarry that was later used as a disposal site for Waste Ammonia Liquor (WAL) generated by the coke making facility at a steel mill. The WAL contained water, ammonia, and small amounts of various hydrocarbons formed during the coking process. Coking operations shut down by the mid 1980's and discharge into the quarry ceased. The ...

HVSR-Aided Monitoring of Embankment Integrity - Case Study
Perth, Australia Fortescue Metals has recently studied the applicability of the HVSR method to the assessment of mining embankment integrity. Embankments are common features in mine sites, necessary for tailings storage, surface water management or general infrastructure such as dewatering ponds. Even though their construction methodology can largely vary, the degree of compaction is a ...

SSDS Installation; Pontiac, Michigan - Case study
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION CONTRACTOR was hired as the General Contractor to install a sub-slab depressurization system (SSDS) in a 533,000 square foot active facility. The SSDS was designed by Hull & Associates to address the chemicals of concern (COC) detected in the soil beneath the existing building slab. This system included trenching, installing 1,157′ of the horizontal pipe, ...

Case study - Buoy-based temperature profiling in the Bavarian Lakes
In summertime a temperature stratification occurs in deep lakes – the surface water is warm, but deep down the water is cold. This has considerable influence on the nutrient balance and the biological habitat in these lakes. Due to generally higher air temperatures induced by the climate change, both change and have effects on the life conditions of the ecosystems in the lakes. ...

Landfill Cap Enhancements
Introduction: The precipitation to the landfill cover is balanced by the combination of following effects: run-off, cumulating in soil, evapotranspiration, and percolation. For a given amount of precipitation, in order to reduce or eliminate percolation, the effects of run-off and/or evapotranspiration need to be enhanced. Water Harvesting Water harvesting uses runoff enhancement to manage ...

Study: Water Use in Concrete Production Higher Than Expected
Researchers uncover areas where better management may mitigate high water use Although many environmental impacts of concrete production have been well studied, little research has been dedicated to just how much water it uses. But, a study published in the journal Natureseeks to quantify the impact of concrete production on global water withdrawals, and it makes some dramatic conclusions and ...

ANZ Guidelines for Fresh & Marine Water Quality
The guidelines for fresh and marine water quality were developed to enforce the proper management of natural and semi-natural water resources in Australia and New Zealand. The latest revision on the guidelines was done in 2018 and is a powerful tool for water managers to assess, manage, and monitor water quality in aquatic systems. Consequently, the guidelines support community values connected ...
